AP: ‘Humming’ and ‘Rising’ U.S. Economy Is a ‘World-Beater
In the latest White House press release disguised as analysis at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, AP stenographer Paul Wiseman sang the praises of this nation's "humming" job market and its "steadily rising" growth as the economy is "finally showing the vigor that Americans have long awaited."

Democrat Congressman Surprises Candy Crowley by Blaming Obama for Bord
It must have seemed to Candy Crowley like a surefire way to inspire a spirited debate by inviting both Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar of Laredo, Texas and Mayor Alan Long of Murrieta, California to appear together on today's State of the Union on CNN to discuss the border crises.

Sam Tanenhaus Issues Another Smug Takedown of GOP on Cover of New York

Tanenhaus, currently a "writer-at-large" for the Times, is still hailed in liberal circles as an expert on the conservative movement, even though his slim, slanted…

LA Times Creates False Impression on Protester Arrests in Murrieta
Deceitful. That is the best way to describe a Los Angeles Times report about five protesters arrested yesterday in Murrieta, CA. Nowhere in the story are the identities of the protestors indicated; whether they are pro-amnesty or against the dumping of the illegals in a federal facility in their city.
Although the truth is very carefully avoided in the Los Angeles Times, you can find it right…
