CNN's Candy Crowley Doesn't Think It Matters If ObamaCare Mandate Is a
One of the key parts of Thursday's Supreme Court ruling regarding the President's healthcare bill was that the fine for not complying with the individual mandate must be considered a tax in order for it to be constitutional.
On CNN's State of the Union Sunday, host Candy Crowley didn't think this was a very important distinction (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

Shocking Huffington Post Headline: 'Obama Begs Donors: Send More
Here's a headline you likely never expected to see at the perilously liberal Huffington Post: "Obama Begs Donors: Send More $$$."

AP Report on Student Loans Exaggerates Potential Scope of Just-Averted
From the headlines to the verbiage in many establishment press write-ups, it would be easy to believe that the just-resolved controversy over interest rates on student loans affects virtually everyone in college who has borrowed money and anyone who graduated (or didn't) who borrowed and is still owes Uncle Sam.
That isn't so. To cite just one example, readers of Christine Armario's Saturday…

On CNN's sister network HLN, when you don’t know how to answer an interview question, bash the Catholic Church - you’ll have your anti-Catholic bigotry promoted by CNN.

Maher: Romney Should Pick George Zimmerman VP for 'The Black Guy’s U
Bill Maher on Friday made another in a long line of disgusting remarks about Mitt Romney and Republicans being racist.

Back-Scratching Newsweek Honors Its Own Writers as 'Digital Disruptors
Perhaps only Tina Brown's Newsweek would be shameless enough to offer a cover story (in a double issue, no less) on "100 Most Powerful Digital Disruptors" and then plug their own writers. In the "Opinionists" category, Newsweek gave a "Lifetime" honor to Andrew Sullivan, who's written several glowing Obama cover stories this year, most recently the rainbow-halo tribute.

Daily Kos Week in Review: Ha Ha, You Tea Party Crazies Lost
The Supreme Court's decision on the Affordable Care Act went pretty much the left's way, so there was no mass meltdown or freakout on Daily Kos. Instead, Kossacks merely taunted and sneered at conservatives who were displeased with the SCOTUS ruling.
As usual, each headline is preceded by the blogger's name or pseudonym.

Bozell Column: HBO's Arrogant 'Newsroom
HBO should really try a new slogan for its original programming, and it came right from Aaron Sorkin’s acid pen in the debut of his ridiculous new series "The Newsroom." That slogan is "Speaking Truth to Stupid."
It’s an appropriate slogan for a pay-cable channel, which insists that only the really smart people pay the extra fee to join the television elite. But do Sorkin and HBO really…

Media Welcome OTaxaCare With Open Arms
In the blink of a shocking Supreme Court ruling Thursday, the President's signature piece of legislation went from ObamaCare to OTaxaCare.
Not surprisingly, the Obama-loving media didn't mind that despite promises from their hero his healthcare reform wasn't a tax, according to the highest court in the land, it is.
