New York Times media reporter Jeremy Peters on Tuesday defended Republican Gov Nikki Haley of South Carolina from a phony scandal story that made the rounds of the media via Twitter last week, in "A Lie Races On Twitter Before Truth Can Boot Up."

It's a little surprising that The Washington Post's "She the People" blogger/columnist Melinda Henneberger would suggest a former New York Times colleague (Frank Bruni) may have bought an implausibly formulaic story from an abortion doctor friend about a rabid pro-lifer getting an abortion in the same clinic she protested. She noted even the lefty gossip site Gawker is failing Bruni on this…

BELFAST, Northern Ireland -- Here, where Titanic, the massive White Star Line luxury liner, was built -- the joke for years has been, "It was fine when it left here."

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Wednesday mocked the liberal, pro-abortion bias of MSNBC, educating anchor Thomas Roberts about the so-called "war on women."

CNN's Piers Morgan scored a huge get Tuesday night with the first major television interview with Masters Champion Bubba Watson. When Morgan asked his guest why he was granted this honor, Watson marvelously answered, “Because when you were on this other show ‘America’s Got Talent,’ you were a pr--k!"
