‘Scandal’ Links Republican Success to White Supremacy

The latest episode of Scandal, “Wild Card,” was full of its typical bed-hopping among the political elite. Nothing new there. What was interesting, though, was how they used the liberal view of right-wing stereotypes to make Republicans look bad.

MSNBC Coordinates With Dems to Attack GOP Voter ID Law

Filling in for host Andrea Mitchell during MSNBC’s 12 p.m. ET hour, anchor Kate Snow freely admitted that her report attacking a new Republican voter I.D. in Texas was orchestrated by the Democratic Party: “A Republican-led legislature here passed a new voter I.D. law five years ago....The Democratic Party here has been worried about what those requirements might mean for turnout on Tuesday, but…

Chris Matthews's Hypocrisy on Tax Returns: Ted Cruz vs. Harry Reid

Last night on a special post-debate edition of Hardball, MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews railed against Ted Cruz for his supposedly McCarthyite attacks on Donald Trump vis-a-vis his undisclosed tax returns. Yet in August 2012 after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) insisted on the Senate floor that an unnamed source told him Romney hadn't paid taxes in a decade, Matthews led his program…

Harris-Perry Refuses to Show at MSNBC: 'I Am Not a Token' or 'Mammy'

In an act of protest or perhaps a temper tantrum, The New York Times is reporting MSNBC weekend host Melissa Harris-Perry said she was refusing to go on her show on Saturday after several weekends of having her show pre-empted for campaign coverage. She said in an e-mail she felt “worthless” in the eyes of NBC News executives. “I will not be used as a tool for their purposes,” she wrote. “I am…

WaPo: Ancient Graves Prove Muslims and Christians 'co-existed'

The Washington Post’s Ishaan Tharoor says he wants you to know “What the ‘oldest’ Muslim graves in Europe can tell us about the past.” But he’s really more interested in what they can tell us about the future. If you couldn’t already guess, it’s a happy tale of brotherhood and cooperation between Muslims and Christians.

Gore’s Climate Reality Project Uses Kid to Browbeat Climate ‘Deniers'

Climate alarmists can’t stop harping on the so-called “consensus” about the causes and consequence of climate change, so much so that they’re using children to shame “deniers.” Climate Reality Project, a group former vice president Al Gore founded, promoted a video of an eight year-old girl shouting at an opponent, claiming that “97 percent” of scientists agree on climate change. Liberal media…

GOP Debate Recap: On María Celeste and Wasted Opportunities

At last night's GOP debate, Telemundo anchor María Celeste Arrarás was every bit as biased as we expected her to be. Far from taking pleasure in being right, we mourn yet another missed opportunity.

NBC Urges Rubio to Attack Trump, Then Says He’s Taking ‘Low Road’

Despite the hosts of NBC’s Today repeatedly demanding that Marco Rubio attack Donald Trump just two days earlier, after the Florida senator did just that in Thursday’s GOP debate, Friday’s edition of the morning show led off with co-host Matt Lauer fretting: “Texas smackdown. Things get ugly at the Republican debate, with Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz both taking repeated shots at Donald Trump....Has…

Pundit On SCOTUS Vacancy: GOP ‘Taking a S**t on the Constitution’

Scatology has typically been out of bounds in mainstream-media political commentary. (Not in all political commentary, of course. For example, actor John Cusack once called former actor Ronald Reagan “a criminal who used the Constitution as toilet paper.”) Nonetheless, Michael Tomasky went there in a Wednesday column trashing Senate Republicans for refusing to consider any Supreme Court…

In Lead Editorial, WashPost Compares Trump to Stalin, Pol Pot

Recently, we noted The Washington Post published an anti-Trump column comparing the New York businessman to Charlemagne, who ordered a massacare of more than 4,000. But in a completely panicked lead editorial in Thursday’s paper, the Post editorial board decided to compare Trump instead to the murderers of millions: “He would round up and deport 11 million people, a forced movement on a scale not…

Poor Hillary: Scarborough Asks Why Things Stick to Her But Not Trump?

We've used the metaphor before: this wasn't softball--it was T-ball. In the course of a lengthy interview that aired on Morning Joe today, a sympathetic Joe Scarborough asked Hillary Clinton: "the question is why doesn't anything stick to [Trump] whereas everything seems to stick to Hillary Clinton? It's got to be frustrating for you to see sort of the double standard." Double-standard. Got to…
