CBS interviewed David Axelrod this morning and fixated on the debates, waiting until the last question to ask weakly about the Libya scandal after Wednesday's House hearing. NPR Morning Edition anchor Steve Inskeep showed up CBS: he conducted a nine-minute interview with Axelrod that never even mentioned Libya. In fact, the online rundown for the show demonstrates they had no Libya story this…

In a surprise, New York Times' Public Editor Margaret Sullivan criticized her paper in a Thursday afternoon blog post for downplaying the congressional hearings into the deadly attacks on the U.S. consulate in Libya.

On Thursday's Hardball, at the conclusion of a lengthy segment about the upcoming vice presidential debate, host Chris Matthews actually said, "Biden better win" (video follows with commentary):

In October of last year, MSNBC cravenly played the race card by showcasing South Carolina Democratic Party chairman Dick Harpootlian insisting that that Palmetto State's new voter ID law would amount to "electoral genocide" of blacks. MSNBC's Chris Matthews carped that the GOP was "randy" to "roll up the vote." There are countless other instances of the liberal network attacking South Carolina…

Stephanie Cutter ignited a firestorm when she blamed Team Romney on Thursday for making the Libya fiasco into the "political issue" it has become, but CNN's Brooke Baldwin enabled her gross political accusations by calling the Libya controversy a "political circus." "No doubt this has absolutely turned in to a political circus, whatever political aisle you're looking at," Baldwin began the…

Boy, that Chelsea Handler sure is a classy gal. On NBC's Tonight Show Wednesday, the host of Chelsea Lately said that her dating quarterback Tim Tebow "would be like a rape – a reverse rape" (video follows with transcript and commentary): 

Updated at bottom of post | Bit by bit, slowly but surely, the Obama administration's initial story about what transpired in the deadly September 11 terrorist attack unraveled over the past few weeks.

On Thursday's CBS This Morning, co-hosts Charlie Rose and Norah O'Donnell waited until the fifth interview question to press Obama adviser David Axelrod about the fiasco in Libya.

New York Times reporter Monica Davey was in Wisconsin on Thursday, playing up the Democratic candidate's Rep. Tammy Baldwin chances in her race for an open Senate seat against former Wisconsin governor, Republican Tommy Thompson. The headline was a puzzler: "A Republican Haven Is Finding Itself Split."
