NY Times Buries Eric Holder Meeting with Journalists, Puts Liberal Pri

The New York Times may have rebuffed Attorney General Eric Holder’s off-the-record meeting with journalists about leak investigations, but they displayed how they really weren’t angry by burying an actual account of that meeting inside Friday’s paper, while the front page carried stories like “A New Step in Wrestling With the Bra.” Perhaps the most surprising judgment of what was front page-…

La. Dem Chairwoman on ObamaCare Opponents: 'It's About Race

What is it with state Democratic Party chairpersons these days? South Carolina Chairman Dick Harpootlian, whose term just recently ended, has hurled repeated tasteless insults at Palmetto State Governor Nikki Haley, who is of Indian heritage.

TIME's Michael Grunwald: Hey, Let's Just Tax Every Non-Profit

Time magazine's Michael Grunwald got to thinking about how to end IRS abuse of power when it comes to reviewing applications for tax-exempt status.

The PBS Series on Constitution Surprises with Unbiased Debates, Includ

The new four-part series Constitution USA embodied the conglomeration of Peter Sagal, one of the more left-leaning NPR hosts, and PBS, which has been scrutinized for its abundance of liberal programming, so one might have expected this series to just be another partisan broadcast espousing solely liberal viewpoints.
