Misleading ‘97 Percent of Scientists’ Claim Resurfaces in NY Times

Mushy Women's Mag Profile of Megyn Kelly Turns Into Snark Against Tea
Fox News host Megyn Kelly is profiled in the latest edition of the women’s magazine Elle. Ben Dickinson, usually the magazine’s “books editor,” started with flattery: “With her naughtily mussed blond bob framing her flashing dark blue eyes and perpetually glossed lips, Kelly is an almost self-parodically perfect apotheosis of her species, the FOX fox.”
She's "on top, and there to stay…

NAACP Official Attacks Black GOP Senator as Ventriloquist's Dummy on M
Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of a day when the content of one's character, not the color of one's skin, was how Americans would evaluate each other.

On Tuesday's PoliticsNation on MSNBC, host Al Sharpton pretended that the misleading details liberal hero Wendy Davis has used to exaggerate her biography are merely "minor details" and actually suggested that it is the "right wing" who should be embarrassed by repeating the revelations as he ended his regular "Nice Try" segment by proclaiming:

Politico's Dylan Byers Jumped on Maine GOP Governor for 'Inventing Sto
Politico media reporter Dylan Byers jumped on the story of Maine Gov. Paul LePage and his claim on the Laura Ingraham Show that Portland (Maine) Press Herald reporter Colin Woodward chased after his ex-wife and children in Canada for a Politico article.
