Global warming advocates started calling their opponents climate-change deniers. Liberals could add economic-recovery deniers to their phrasebook next. Despite the “objective reality” of an economic recovery this year, columnist Lynn Vavreck wrote this will not impact the midterm election. Posting on The New York Times’ The Upshot blog on November 3, 2014, Vavreck incorrectly implied that…

Conservative ‘mucking up’ facts, won’t vote for liberals because of partisanship.

Celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Dakota Fanning represent a slew of stars proving sorry role models for young women. But now, there’s a new option: Sadie Robertson.  In the wake of her new book, 17-year-old Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson went public with her stance on purity. Robertson recently spoke out for teens and offered advice on “staying pure in a relationship.” Published Oct. 28,…

If you haven’t watched the video above yet (or even if you have) you probably want to grab the tissues, not for a story of tragedy but of triumph. Last winter, 19-year-old Lauren Hill got the worst news one could get. She was dying from a rare and terminal form of brain cancer.

Appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe Tuesday morning, Politico's Jim VandeHei absurdly claimed that Republicans would be in big trouble if they took control of the Senate in the midterm election: "...even if Republicans win, I think they're going to be in a hell of a jam. In that they're not going to be able to get anything done."  

The cover of Tuesday’s edition of The Washington Post’s commuter tabloid Express reads “How Obama will need to lead differently if Republicans gain control of the Senate.” Jena McGregor’s article inside carried the headline “Obama’s turn to change.” McGregor noticed an NBC-Wall Street Journal poll showed two-thirds of voters want Obama to change:

On Sunday, actor and political commentator Ben Stein appeared on Fox News and made some highly controversial remarks about President Obama, accusing him of being “the most racist president there has ever been in America.” Following Stein’s offensive comments, on Tuesday, all four co-hosts on The View rightly criticized the actor, and unsurprisingly Rosie O'Donnell took her condemnation to a whole…

Liberal comedian Jon Stewart makes it his mission every major election year to spread easily-disproven lies about the voting process and the Republican agenda, and this year was no different. On the Nov. 3 “Democalypse 2014” segment, the topic in question was voter ID laws or “voter suppression laws,” as Stewart called them.  Stewart’s go-to “expert” was MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry whose…

Kevin Drum and other pundits take the press to task for misleading Iowa voters by, in Drum's words, pushing a “charade” that Republican Senate contender Joni Ernst is a “pragmatic centrist.”

Unlike ABC and NBC who provided mostly straightforward coverage of today’s elections, CBS made sure to push the line that regardless of the outcomes, the election was an indictment of both political parties. Throughout three segments,…

Monday night on HBO viewers heard one of their stars call Rush Limbaugh an “idiot” and charge “he’s a liar and a hatemonger – makes me want to puke.” But it wasn’t Bill Maher. It was actress Frances McDormand in the second half of the pay network’s two-night Olive Kitteridge mini-series about the later years of life of a woman living in a coastal Maine town.

"Moron vote energized," reported Twitchy. President Obama once called her husband Kanye West a "jackass," but Kim Kardashian pictured herself (in an Archie-style cartoon) with Obama on Twitter, advising her fans to vote Democrat on Tuesday.
