CNN Reports Dramatic Narrowing of Party Midterm Elections Gap
CNN had a midterms elections message on Wednesday for its own Chris Cillizza: Don't count your electoral chickens before they hatch.

The very next day, CNN had some rather sobering news for the giddy Cillizza in the form of their poll, Democrats' 2018 advantage is nearly gone.
Unhinged Colbert: Iran Deal Was 'An American Promise' and a 'Treaty'

NYT Front Page Sees 'Sex Scandal...Double Standard' in Favor of GOP
The New York Times pathetically tried to turn the shock resignation of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman accused by several women of physical abuse into a political plus for Democrats, even though Schneiderman was one of the legal leaders of “The Resistance” and a #MeToo crusader for women.

Invisible Economy: No.1 Issue for Voters Gets Just 18 Stories in Month
The media are treating the economy like a good-news/bad-news story. The good news is the economy is going well and unemployment is down to just 3.9 percent — the best since 2000. The bad news is ABC, CBS and NBC evening news programs don’t want to talk about it. ABC's World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News continued to supply minimal reporting of economic issues between April 1…
