Media Turn To Activist Who Called Cops ‘Scumbags’ For Protest Video

Ever wonder why news outlets give such a positive view of lefty protests? Maybe it’s where major media get their images. Saturday’s #RiseUpOctober #BlackLivesMatter protest in New York is an excellent example of how journalists spin the news by relying on liberals for their video.

During Rachel Maddow's live but actually not interview with Hillary Clinton on Friday night, Maddow asked Clinton if she had any "new ideas" on improving health care for veterans provided by the notoriously schlerotic Veterans Affairs department.

AP Hides Hillary's Smoking-Gun Benghazi Admission to Chelsea

Those folks at the Associated Press sure are "clever." Those looking for information about Hillary Clinton's damning email to her daughter Chelsea indicating that Mrs. Clinton knew that a planned operation by Al Qaeda — and not an Internet video — was behind the Benghazi attacks which killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others trying to save him will find nothing at all at the AP's…

Sharpton Shuts Down Republican Saying Hillary Lied About Benghazi

Talk about an inconvenient truth . . . Don't know if we've ever witnessed such a blatant suppression of facts--even on MSNBC.

NPR and David Brooks Help Hillary Take Benghazi 'Victory Lap'

A "week in politics" like Hillary's latest Benghazi hearing really proves the usefulness of "conservative" public-broadcasting pundit David Brooks. What better way to prove Hillary completely trounced her opponents on the public stage than your completely cooperative "conservative" expert declare the whole thing a rout for Hillary? Brooks denounced a conservative anti-Clinton "psychosis" on both…
