NBC's Mitchell Hails 'Landmark' Climate Deal; Slams Anti-Science GOP
At the top of her 12 p.m. ET hour MSNBC show on Wednesday, host Andrea Mitchell cheered President Obama "achieving a landmark climate agreement" with China to restrict carbon emissions: "I know this is going to take place over a long time, but – there are a lot of obstacles ahead, but this still marks a very big change from the stalemate between the U.S. and China..."
NBC Pretends Keystone Vote Isn't a Political Favor for Desperate Dem
All three networks on Thursday covered the abrupt reversal of the United States Senate on the Keystone XL Pipeline.

N.O. Times-Picayune: Cassidy 'Far Right,' Landrieu 'Middle Ground'
The New Orleans Times-Picayune has had a decades-long love affair with the Landrieu family, and it has been particularly in the tank for the increasingly difficult re-election bid of U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu this year. But the T-P, or at least its online version known as NOLA.com, outdid itself on Monday with a hideously biased "news" story by "legislative and state politics reporter" Cole Avery.…

Latest Lame Low-Turnout Excuse: 'Couldn't Get Time Off Work'
Well, if this doesn't beat all.
Based on excuses provided by 63 people (35 percent) out of a "smallish sample" (I'll say) of 181 nonvoters, the Washington Post's Christopher Ingraham whined on Wednesday (HT Twitchy) about how "scheduling conflicts with work or school" kept people from voting last Tuesday. This alleged problem calls for solutions like "requiring employers to allow flexible…
Jon Stewart Tweets: Coal Miners Are Self-Destructive Morons
Comedian (and climate change advocate) Jon Stewart seems to think vanishing coal jobs that force miners to find new jobs “is funny”. So funny in fact, he thinks they should go and work for the NFL….because, you know, being a coal miner and a football player in the NFL are so similar.
WashPost First Liberal Paper to Arrive on Gruber 'Stupidity' Gaffe
The Washington Post suddenly put the Jonathan Gruber “voter stupidity” brouhaha on the front page Thursday, with the headline “Health-care law’s opponents riled anew by ‘stupidity’ video.” Online, its newsworthiness was made plainer: “GOP’s anti-Obamacare push gains new momentum in wake of Gruber video.”
Lefty Blogger: Kansas Proves Gruber’s Point About Voter Stupidity

Nets Ignore Far-Left Agenda of 'Fringe' Mob's Attack on U.S. Sailors
ABC, CBS, and NBC's evening newscasts on Wednesday glossed over the radical left-wing ideology of the Turkish protesters who assaulted three U.S. sailors in Istanbul earlier in the day. ABC's Martha Raddatz reported that the "the attackers [are] members of an ultra-nationalist group called the Turkish Youth Union, angry at what it calls 'American imperialism.'" NBC's Brian Williams underlined…
Limbaugh: It Wasn't Stupidity of Americans That Obamacare Hacks Feared
In the uproar over chief Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber's admission that deceit was an essential element in getting the so-called Affordable Care Act enacted into law, many observers have criticized Gruber over his obvious elitist contempt for voters.
