On Monday, the co-hosts of ABC’s The View continued the media obsession with trying to discredit Dr. Ben Carson’s personal narrative with liberal co-host Michelle Collins going so far as to suggest his books should no longer be considered non-fiction: "I do think they should put his book in the fiction section."

On the top of Saturday’s front page were the words “THE OBAMA EFFECT: An education in hope and change.” Reporter William Wan profiled “The kids who adopted a president,” minority children who successfully lobbied to rename their grade school after Barack Obama. “To the nation, Obama’s election was a historic and cultural milestone, an electrifying moment when the seemingly impossible became real…

The political definition of Cronyism is: government policy that favors one or more specific beneficiaries - at the expense of everyone else.  To wit: $80 billion of the 2009 “Stimulus” was wasted on “green energy” companies - 80% of whom were Barack Obama donors.  Amongst the parade of horribles contained therein: the government took money from energy companies - to fund competitors to their…

It was an '80s flashback in the New York Times Sunday book review. Serge Schmemann attacked a new book about Russian dictator Vladimir Putin by Garry Kasparov.

During an interview with NBC Today co-host Matt Lauer on Monday, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus denounced the “crazy obsession” of the media over alleged inaccuracies in Ben Carson’s biography and pointed out a glaring double standard: “The fact is, you know, we kind of wish the media would be just as obsessed or half obsessed with Hillary Clinton's lies of many years and…

On today's Morning Joe, an incensed Joe Scarborough told Hugh Hewitt he was "full of it," and that "you owe me an apology."  Scarborough was steamed that Hewitt seemed to suggest that Joe was part of the "Manhattan-DC Beltway elite" that refused to cover Hillary's scandals. Scarborough said "I put my neck on the line every day here," covering Hillary and criticizing media bias. 

This week, after CNBC's moderators assault the GOP candidates with a barrage of offensive attack questions, liberal reporters decry Republican complaints about the debacle: "This got a little revolting tonight," MSNBC's Chris Matthews sneered, while ABC daytime host Whoopi Goldberg advised the candidates: "Grow some nuts." And: CBS and PBS host Charlie Rose tells socialist candidate Bernie…

Joe Scarborough and Nicolle Wallace went on an animated tag-team attack against Ben Carson on today's Morning Joe, accusing him of "one lie after another" and "bald-faced lies," respectively. And Scarborough emphatically denied that there is any bias behind the media's inquiries into Carson's biography. Scarborough, Wallace and Mika Brzezinski also criticized panelist Mark Halperin for not…

Has ABC’s Quantico coopted Law & Order’s “ripped from the headlines” screenwriting? Well, not exactly: that would require a media willing to ask Hillary Clinton about her husband’s numerous extramarital affairs. But it was hard not to think of the Democrats’ frontrunner during last night’s episode, “Go.”

With memories of 2008 dancing in their heads, the writers of CBS’ The Good Wife have Gov.
