Surprise: NYT Editorial Slams HRC Defense of Bill, Mentions Broaddrick

Michelle Cottle, the lead New York Times editorial writer for national politics, issued a surprising signed lead editorial in Thursday’s edition, “Hillary Clinton’s Master Class in Distraction” (perhaps a quasi-lead editorial, as it carries the paper’s “Editorial Observer” tag, but it is in the regular editorial slot).

Feminist Celebs: ‘All of Us’ Are Under ‘Attack’ If Dems Lose

No amount of money or hyperbole is too high for Democrats attempting to wrest control of the House and Senate from Republicans. It is shaping up to be a tough fight.

‘Murphy Brown’ Calls White Conservative Men 'Dinosaurs'

The fourth episode of CBS’s Murphy Brown reboot was rather uneventful, at least compared to the first few.
