CNN's Don Lemon insisted on Tuesday's OutFront that he is neither "a big supporter of Obama" nor an "ultra leftist" as guest Larry Klayman claimed.

The only people who know that for sure, the person who knows that for sure, is me," Lemon…

Brent Bozell sent this to me marked "Terrific." Cliff May wrote about "The Disinformation Age" for National Review Online. May found that "mainstream" journalists and their "Newseum" can't seem to tell the difference between a journalist and a communications operative for an Islamic terrorist organization.

CNN's Anderson Cooper decided to wade into the debate Tuesday concerning what race Santa Claus is.
