Why Is Fox News Channel So Smitten with the Kennedy Family

Fox and Friends anchors Gretchen Carlson and Steve Doocy, along with author C. David Heymann (there to discuss his new book on the death of JFK Jr.), fawned over the eighth anniversary of the plane-crash death of John F.

CNN's Anderson Cooper 360's Puff Piece on Edwards ‘Political Photo-O

Call it killing two birds with one stone. The mainstream media tries to keep the recovery from Hurricane Katrina in the public consciousness, while highlighting one of their favorite sons.

Ridley's Rule: Adulterers Forfeit Right to Oppose Gay Marriage

Mother Teresa might be allowed to oppose gay marriage.  But those falling short of saintliness have forfeited their right to do so.  That, in a nutshell, is the logic that "Morning Joe" panelist John Ridley espoused on today's show.
