NBC Skimps on Report V.A. Paid $142 Million in Bonuses Amid Scandal
On Wednesday night, NBC Nightly News neglected to inform its viewers of a new report concerning the scandal-ridden Department of Veterans Affairs and the $142 million it paid out in bonuses to employees (including some who were facing discipline and/or recently fired).

Press Defines 'Joke' As Anything That Insults, Threatens a Republican
Just as a reality check, I asked a friend today what his reaction would be if I said with a sincere-sounding voice that he makes me want to strangle him. He said, "Almost sounds like a threat." I said, "No, it was supposed to be a joke." He said, "No it's not."
I also asked another person what her reaction would be if I earnestly called her "demented." She said, "You'd be insulting me." I asked…

ABC, NBC Cheer ‘Fierce,’ ‘Dramatic Divisions’ in GOP After Debate
The Wednesday editions of ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News each provided their own wrap-ups of the Fox Business Network Republican presidential debate from the night before, but the theme was predictably similar as both networks spun the event as illustrating “fierce opposition” and “dramatic divisions” within the GOP on apparently every issue.

Carson-Trashing Politico Reporter Has Bashed the GOP Since 2004
It used to seem like weathermen/weatherwomen were the only ones who could be wrong half the time and still keep their jobs. Well, I'm now beginning to think that same rationale applies to the reporters at Politico - specifically, Kyle D. Cheney.
Cheney is the Politico reporter who started a media meltdown over a story he filed last week on Republican presidential frontrunner Ben Carson.

Matthews Not Sure If Cruz, Rubio Are Really 'Hispanic'
According to Chris Matthews, it's uncertain whether the term Hispanic can properly be used to describe GOP presidential aspirants Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Florida). It's better to say they are "Cuban nationals," offered the Hardball host on his Nov. 11 program.

Saturday Night Live Punts Rather Than Parody Rachel Maddow
You know you've made it when you're "parodied" on Saturday Night Live, Sen. Claire McCaskill, Democrat of Missouri, exclaimed to Rachel Maddow when appearing on Maddow's MSNBC show on Monday.
Which might be true had SNL actually parodied Maddow. What they served up instead was a pallid impersonation at best when there was so much more to work with.

CNN's Costello: 'Is It Too Politically Dangerous to Attack' Carson?
Carol Costello was true to her liberal form on Wednesday's CNN Newsroom during a segment with Rick Tyler, Senator Ted Cruz's campaign spokesman. Costello asserted that "Ben Carson didn't exactly give riveting answers" during the latest GOP presidential debate, and asked, "Why did no one challenge him on that?" She also wondered, "Is it too politically dangerous to attack Ben Carson, or to even…

MSNBC.com Uses Veterans Day As Opportunity to Slam Civilian Gun Owners
Conservatives revere the Bill of Rights, including the 2nd Amendment, and highly respect those who have worn the uniform of this nation. So naturally MSNBC found Veterans Day a perfect opportunity to troll by giving a pro-gun control Army veteran a platform to insist "It’s time for vets to speak up about gun safety."

Maddow Producer: In GOP Debate, ‘Clear Loser’ Was ‘Reality’
Robin Williams’s first album was called Reality…What a Concept. More than one lefty blogger implied that Unreality…What a Concept would have been a fitting title for Tuesday night’s Republican presidential debate.

Univision Censors Cruz in GOP Debate Coverage
It is no secret that U.S. immigration policy is central to Univision’s existence. We have previously showcased video of Jorge Ramos openly admitting as much. This byline has also memorialized efforts to vitiate, suppress, or deceptively edit those Hispanic conservatives who refuse to toe the network’s line on policy. The result of the network’s institutional culture is a narrative collision that…
