In the mind of the editors at the Daily Beast website, a court ruling which allows the closure of below-code abortion clinics in the state of Texas is draconian.

Incumbent Democratic Senator Mark Begich has a lifetime American Conservative Union score of eight. Yet, NPR qualifies the Alaska politician as "conservative" on many issues. The October 2 segment featured no mention of Begich's widely condemned campaign ad that accused his Republican opponent of being indirectly responsible for a sex crime. 

This message might not fit the media's agenda, but it does come from the media-loved Pope Francis: “Each of Us is a Masterpiece of God’s Creation.” Sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), “Respect Life Month” begins Oct. 5 with the Pope Francis-inspired theme, “Each of Us is a Masterpiece of God’s Creation.” To observe the event, Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley of Boston…

Even though she was the first woman to serve as US ambassador to the United Nations, Jeane Kirkpatrick is probably better remembered for a witheringly accurate criticism she leveled at liberals during her speech at the 1984 Republican convention. Somehow, Kirkpatrick observed, "they always blame America first." Three decades later, this truism is nowhere more obvious than on MSNBC, with the…

Cardinal O’Malley announces the event.

Calls anal the ‘new frontier of sex.’

In a contentious interview with Benjamin Netanyahu aired on her 12 p.m. ET hour MSNBC show on Thursday, host Andrea Mitchell badgered the Israeli Prime Minister by repeatedly parroting a nasty attack line from the Obama administration: "...the White House and the State Department say that the new settlements in Arab East Jerusalem undercut your commitment to peace. That it could poison the…

There was a good reason for Democrat-friendly networks to skip Obama’s economic speech yesterday, as Curtis Houck reported. Washington Post political reporter Chris Cillizza was shocked the president seemed to hand Republicans a ready-made TV ad in the speech. His headline was “28 words that Democrats really wish President Obama didn’t say today.”

New York Times former Supreme Court reporter Linda Greenhouse held a dubious celebration of Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. in her nytimes.com column, while attacking the Court’s "steady regression on race and its deregulatory hijacking of the First Amendment" and Justice Clarence Thomas's "full-steam-back-to-the-18th-century" approach to constitutional interpretation.

At the Media Research Center’s annual gala, featuring the “DisHonors Awards” – a week ago tonight – MSNBC’s Krystal Ball “won” the “#obamacarefail Award” for declaring conservative opposition to ObamaCare “a national disgrace” by those okay with people dying so long as it serves the goal “of hurting this President and denying him a victory.”

Following President Obama’s speech on the economy on Thursday, the PBS NewsHour offered a 48-second news brief on the subject, in which co-anchor Gwen Ifill offered no opposing viewpoint to the President’s claim in his speech that “by every measure, the country is better off than when he took office.” The show then played a soundbite of the President, in which he lamented that “millions of…

President Obama tried desperately to talk up the economy in a speech at Northwestern University on Thursday, but he still ended up denouncing his own term in office. “When nearly all the gains of the recovery have gone to the top 1 percent, I find that a little hard to swallow," he said. Doesn’t that reflect on him? Obama made a petulant attack on Fox News for presenting Obamacare as a “fanged…

Well, it's official -- outspoken opposition to the commander in chief during wartime is no longer the supreme expression of patriotism. Even though this was all the rage a decade ago, while an earlier conflict raged in Iraq and a Republican named Bush was at the helm, anyone engaging in it today will face accusations of treason. With the midterm elections only weeks away, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow…

Wednesday's CNN Tonight spotlighted the lawsuit of a homosexual woman, who mistakenly received sperm from an African-American man – instead of a "blond-haired, blue-eyed [man]...resembling my partner," as guest Jennifer Cramblett put it. Hosts Don Lemon and Alisyn Camerota gave Cramblett a platform to promote her case. Camerota underlined that the plaintiff "live[s] in eastern Ohio, in a town…
