Univision Casts Rubio as 'The Bad Guy'

Univision appears to be pulling out all the stops to portray Sen. Marco Rubio as “the bad guy” to its viewers. The intent to portray Rubio as an enemy of the immigrant community was evident from the outset of the April 16 edition of Univision’s principal national news program, when anchor María Elena Salinas read the following headline tease: “in an interview with Univision, Marco Rubio says if…

MSNBC's Harris-Perry, Husband Owe $70,000 in Back Federal Taxes

Larry King Slams Gun Ownership: 'Beyond Comprehension' to Civil Brits

Some may be surprised at this revelation, but Larry King still has a television show. The former CNN host is now on the propaganda outfit Russia Today, as well as Ora TV.

Nets Skip Liberal Label for Copter Pilot; Linked Violence to Right

Despite the clear liberal agenda of postal worker Doug Hughes flying a gyrocopter into restricted Washington D.C. airspace to protest for campaign finance reform, the broadcast networks avoided linking the dangerous stunt to left-wing politics or the Democratic Party. Such avoidance stood in stark contrast to media eagerness to falsely blame conservatives and the Republican Party for deadly acts…

WaPo: Gyrocopter Guy, Hillary Have Campaign Finance Reform in Common

When I found out that the gyrocopter guy who landed on the Capitol lawn yesterday was protesting against obscene political campaign finances, my first thought was to wonder why he didn't land on Hillary Clinton's Chappaqua lawn.
