Appearing on Friday’s NBC Today, Bloomberg Politics managing editor John Heilemann saw a rapidly closing window for Joe Biden to enter the presidential race: “...if he's making a calculation on the political landscape, it's more forbidding now than it was a month ago.

NYT's 'Hard-Line' Herszenhorn Takes Up Cudgels Against Paul Ryan Again

New York Times reporter David "hard-line" Herszenhorn is making hostile labeling of conservatives a bad habit, especially in his post-Boehner reporting.

McArdle: 'A Marshmallow Planet' More Likely Than Truth in 'Truth'

The disgraceful determination of Hollywood to rewrite history not favorable to the left, its causes and its personalities has perhaps reached its nadir with the laughably misnamed movie Truth. The film is about Dan Rather's September 2004 60 Minutes report on President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard Service during the 1970s. In Rather's words, "The nuanced, not preachy, script makes…

US News's Milligan: GOP Committing 'Suicide' With Benghazi Probe

Hillary Clinton doesn't need to rail again against the evils of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" these days since Republicans are all too eager to openly admit they're out to get her, U.S. News & World Report's Susan Milligan insisted on Thursday's edition of Hardball: “The amazing thing is that she does not even have to talk about a vast right-wing conspiracy and have people make…
