ABC Omits Classified Material on Hillary's Server; Touts Her Health

Friday's World News Tonight on ABC failed to mention that 37 out of 1,000 of Hillary Clinton's e-mails from her private e-mail server, which were released earlier in the day, contained information that is considered "confidential."

Dems Furious Hillary 'Waffled,' Acknowledged Fetus Videos 'Disturbing'

While most political reporters are delighted to focus on Donald Trump roiling the Republican race for president, Washington Post reporter David Weigel underlined how liberal Democrats are quite unhappy with Democrat candidates for failing to be staunch enough in supporting Planned Parenthood's ugly trafficking in fetal baby parts.  One former Planned Parenthood leader complained of waffling: "I…

Chris Matthews Stumps DNC Debbie on Socialists Among the Democrats

It’s not hard to make Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz look dumb. But she probably didn’t expect it on MSNBC. When liberal Hardball host Chris Matthews stumps her, it’s a gift that keeps on giving. Matthews asked if Sanders lost the nomination, if there be a place for him to speak at the DNC convention.  Wasserman-Schultz lauded Sanders on his “progressive…

More Deadpan at AP: We're 'Entering ... Historically Slow Growth'

These economics reporters at the Associated Press have become experts at deadpan humor. Earlier today, I noted how the wire service's Christopher Rugaber told readers, in the wake of a government report showing the lowest wage and benefit increases on record, that "the job market is not yet back to full health." No kidding, Chris. On top of that, the AP's Martin Crutsinger reacted to yesterday's…

Team Clinton Blasts NY Times for Slowness In Fixing 'Egregious' Errors

An official with the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign sent a lengthy missive to Dean Baquet, executive editor of the New York Times, indicating “grave concern” over a controversial report the newspaper carried regarding the former secretary of state's private email account. That's pretty audacious when Mrs. Clinton destroyed her own e-mail server and the State Department's getting scolded…

Lawrence O'Donnell Slams Ronald Reagan: 'The Donald Trump of His Time'

Liberal MSNBC anchor Lawrence O'Donnell on Thursday night slammed Ronald Reagan, sneering that he was the "Donald Trump of his time."

MSNBC Pundit: Planned Parenthood Fight In Congress Is 'Child's Play'

Pro-tip: When you're defending Planned Parenthood on national TV and denouncing congressional Republicans working to remove federal funding of the abortion industry's top national provider, it's probably wise NOT to dismiss the policy matter as "child's play."

NYT Cherry-Picks Stats, Claims Places With Stricter Gun Laws Are Safer

It’s another day and that means another day for the media to make false claims about guns while mocking 2nd Amendment advocates as “crazies” and “fanatics.” In today’s New York Times Opinion section, author and contributor Timothy Egan argues that gun-related mass shootings is on the rise and it’s due to lax laws on obtaining them. He manages to weave in slams against “the fanatics” and the “gun…

All Bark, No Brains: The View Talks Gay Weddings and Canine Groomsmen

July 31st marked The View’s 7th annual “Mutt Show.” And according to co-host Raven-Symoné, gay former boy-band star Lance Bass was the “perfect guest to have” because Bass and his “husband” have 3 dogs.  “And they were your bridal party?” Symoné queried. (‘Wedding party’ might have been the better term, Raven, as there is no bride, but then again, weddings have historically required a bride as…

Talking to the latest Republican to enter the 2016 presidential race, former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore, on Fox News’s Special Report Thursday, Associated Press White House correspondent Julie Pace worried about the makeup of the GOP field: “If you look at the 17 Republican candidates right now, there's not much diversity in terms of gender and race.
