Today's Monthly Wholesale Trade report from the Census Bureau covering July was the latest in a wave of disappointing reports on business activity this year. Wholesale inventories remained very high, while sales turned in a seventh consecutive month of year-over-year declines. Much of that sales decline is due to the fall in oil prices during the past year. But even after factoring that out,…

Like a Monty Python skit gone tragic, the New York Times actually ran a chart labeling Democratic lawmakers against Obama's controversial nuclear deal with Iran as "Jewish?" or not (the "Jewish?" part was removed online after outcry). The four chart headings read: "Democrats against the deal – Jewish? – District and estimated Jewish population – Vote with party." Under "Democrats against the deal…

In the only Thursday evening network newscast story on the 2016 Democratic field, the CBS Evening News chose to make no mention of Hillary Clinton’s numerous scandals as she’s losing ground in polls to Bernie Sanders but provided her a soundbite to self-servingly claim she’s merely “moderate and center” in her political ideology. 

New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan posted a blog on Wednesday acknowledging those who support Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are right to be upset over the lack of meaningful coverage on his campaign.

On his September 10 Hardball program, cradle Catholic Chris Matthews voiced his disdain for political candidates  discussing their religious faith and/or citing the Bible at a campaign event. The target of Mr. Matthews's wrath was Dr. Ben Carson, who recently quoted from the biblical book of Proverbs to answer a question related to Donald Trump.

Though possessed of little actual value, The Rachel Maddow Show does serve to answer an arcane question -- how would Lewis Carroll cover the 2016 presidential campaign? Maddow was in vintage Alice in Wonderland form last night while recounting a dustup between GOP candidates Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz during a rally for Rowan County clerk Kim Davis after a federal judge ordered her release…

"Hillary Clinton’s email scandal is deepening.  To give you an idea how bad it is, her new campaign slogan is: 'Hillary Clinton: Innocent Until Proven Guilty.'" -- Jodi Miller, NewsBusted anchor.

On Wednesday night’s All In, MSNBC host Chris Hayes attacked the House hearing into Planned Parenthood with the strangest attack you can imagine from the Lean Forward Network: Hayes complained it wasn’t fair and balanced. As if MSNBC is fair and balanced? He cited an article by ex-Washington Post reporter Sarah Kliff at Vox that Planned Parenthood wasn’t given the “opportunity” to speak. Does…

Senate Democrats have spared the American public an "ugly battle" over the Iran which would "force" President Obama to make good on his veto threat, according to a breaking news email alert by CNN.

Sen. Mike Lee is using the Senate floor to tell the story the media refuse to: Planned Parenthood’s harvesting of aborted baby parts. Speaking on the Senate floor Wednesday night, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) slammed the “pro-abortion news media” as they “suppress” the videos exposing Planned Parenthood. Referencing an MRC Culture story, Sen. Lee argued that the network news shows “have gone dark” in…

In a fawning “interview” with Hillary Clinton aired on Thursday that amounted to a campaign rally, liberal talk show host Ellen DeGeneres assured the Democrat she doesn't need to address her e-mail scandal: “I actually don't think you need to. It's just that people keep bringing it up. They have not found a thing.” She soon endorsed Clinton for president: “You are the smartest, most qualified…

NPR's Jennifer Ludden's liberal bias was clear on Wednesday's All Things Considered, as she covered a congressional hearing on abortion from earlier in the day. The House Judiciary Committee scheduled the hearing in the wake of the Center for Medical Progress's release of hidden camera videos on the sale of organs and tissues from abortion babies. Ludden pointed out how "Planned Parenthood denies…

On Megyn Kelly's Fox News show on Wednesday, Andrew Napolitano sharply criticized the city of Baltimore's agreement to pay $6.4 million to the family of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old black man who died in police custody there in April. The Associated Press and most of the rest of the establishment press are describing the city's payout, which was approved on Thursday, as a "settlement" — an odd…

Liberal View co-host Joy Behar admitted she was attracted to some of Donald Trump’s policy prescriptions. Talking to the presidential candidate on Thursday, Behar gushed, “A lot of people, Donald, think that you're still a Democrat and I'm very interested in that part of you, because a lot of what you say I think is correct.” The left-wing host praised, “You want to tax hedge funders.” She added…
