Networks Skip Video Stings and House Bills on Sex-Selection Abortions
Those “war on women” promoters at the networks aren’t very good at follow-through. Not only are the Big Three networks skipping out on the latest sting video of Planned Parenthood on sex-selection abortions, they also ignored the House bill called the Prenatal Discrimination Act, which would ban sex-selection abortions.

Politico Lets Obama Off Unemployment Hook: 'Bleak Numbers Beyond His C

Move Along, Nothing To See: Politico's Gavin Whitewashes Obama Primary
Imagine that in one 2004 Republican primary, an opponent running to George Bush's left got 40% of the vote, and in another primary, more than 4-in-10 Republicans voted for "uncommitted" rather than support the incumbent president. Now imagine the doom the MSM would have found that to portend for Bush.
But when a candidate running to the right of Barack Obama garners 40% of the vote in the…
