ABC, NBC Use Hillary, ‘Worker’ at Hotel Site to Bash Trump, GOP
On Tuesday night, ABC and NBC reported on the Professional Golf Association’s (PGA) decision to cut ties with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump over his stance on illegal immigration and, predictably, the two networks deployed soundbites from Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s CNN interview to bash Trump and the GOP as a whole.

CBS, NBC Move on from Murder in SF by Illegal Immigrant
After providing relatively substantial coverage on the July 1 murder of a San Francisco woman allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant, CBS and NBC chose to provide their viewers on Tuesday night with other stories and ignored the latest developments and continued questions regarding the disturbing murder.

Bozell & Graham Column: Hillary and Her Roped Media Herd
Hillary Clinton’s campaign again signaled its contempt for the press during a July 4 parade in New Hampshire. Aides brought out ropes to cordon off the media covering her. It was the perfect metaphor for a “news” media so cowed by their candidate that they would allow such a humiliating action.
The images lit up Twitter on the holiday, but their reaction – or lack thereof – tells you all you…
Al-Jazeera Mocks America's Greatness for July 4
Al Jazeera’s digital media platform AJ+ decided to mock Americans by posting a video just one day before Independence Day. The video, facetiously titled “American’s Show Why USA Is The #1 Country In The World”, portrayed Americans as bigoted hicks that do nothing but pop pills, eat cheese and watch porn.
AJ+ did talk about the “good” things in the U.S. – such as America being the world leader…

EdiTed: Univision’s Deceptively Edited Ted Cruz Interview
After watching anchor Jorge Ramos’ complete interview of Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Fusion, I immediately began to speculate as to which parts would be left on the cutting room floor during its Sunday rebroadcast on Univision’s Al Punto. It didn’t take me long to find out that I was right.

Salon Writer: The GOP, Home of ‘Unserious Candidates’ For President
Since Democrats belong to the party of government, it stands to reason that their presidential candidates actually want to be president -- including Bernie Sanders, who’s a Democrat only for the sake of convenience. Republican candidates? Not necessarily. Some of them, according to writer Sean Illing, are “half-baked celebrities allowed to hijack the process to promote their private careers.”…

During a Monday morning appearance on the MSNBC's Morning Joe program, New Jersey governor Chris Christie was asked by panelist Katty Kay about his role in the possible “creation of a culture” in his administration that led to the Bridgegate lane closure incident, which took place in early September of 2013.
The 2016 GOP presidential candidate responded to the obnoxious question by instead…
Keilar Lets Hillary Rant on Foundation; Offer Gooey Q's on Money, SNL
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s first national TV interview aired during Tuesday’s edition of The Situation Room on CNN, and while Brianna Keilar pressed Clinton on her e-mail scandal and tumbling poll numbers, the interview measured up to little more than a stroll in the park. Along with gooey questions about which woman she thinks should go on the $10 bill and who plays a…
On Jobs Report, AP Changes Take From Almost 'Healthy' to 'Mixed'
This post will document what transpired at the Associated Press on Thursday before and just after the release of the government's employment report. It should be a humiliating lesson to its business and economics writers. One would hope that they might learn to concentrate solely on discerning and accurately reporting the relevant facts, and to leave the analysis to others. (I know; fat chance…
