The 'Itching Ears' of Trump Voters
Since religious language has again infected this unpredictable and turbulent political season, here is a verse that could describe the followers of Donald Trump.

WashPost Columnist: Trump’s Rise Explains How Hitler Came to Power
This must be "Donald Trump is the end of the world" week at the Washington Post.
Earlier today, Tim Graham at NewsBusters described a morning "Acts of Faith" item at the Post by Joseph Loconte.

Fox’s ‘Family Guy’: Getting Gays Angry is the Best Way to Change Laws
Family Guy is many things. It is reliably liberal, it is reliably depraved, and it is hilarious. However, one thing it is not is above poking fun at liberals, while pointing out salient truths.

CNN's Cuomo Boosts Hillary Hitting Bernie from Left on Gun Control
On Monday's New Day, CNN's Chris Cuomo touted Hillary Clinton's attack on Bernie Sanders on gun control during an interview of Sanders supporter Cornel West: "She [Clinton] says...

Forget Obama Skipped Scalia Funeral, He Danced With an Elderly Woman!
All three network morning shows on Monday were thrilled by Barack and Michelle Obama dancing with a 106-year-old White House visitor over the weekend and happily played video from the President’s Facebook page capturing the moment.

Columnist– Incorrectly– Calls Hillary the C-Word
Apparently, MarketWatch columnist Rex Nutting completely misunderstands the meaning of the c-word.
And by “c-word,” we, of course, mean “conservative.”
In his laughably headlined column: “Hillary Clinton will win because she’s the true conservative in this race,” Nutting liberally switches between the words “conservative” and “establishment,” arguing that both mean the same thing.

The NY Times Takes a ‘Hard-Line’ on the GOP -- But No Labels for Dems?
The New York Times continues to list portside in its labeling, going particularly overboard in the last several months in using “hard-line” and “hard-right” to describe conservative presidential candidates, their policy positions, and the voters those candidates are appealing to.

CNN’s Kohn Scoffs: Voters' Distrust of Clinton a 'Smear' by the Right
CNN’s resident gem Sally Kohn was a guest on CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello February 22. The political analyst and Daily Beast writer was asked to weigh in on Clinton’s trust with voters. Of course Kohn couldn’t do that without bringing up sexism, how much Trump’s voters hated gay people, and how much the right misleads the media.
