Selling Socialism: The Media's Campaign for ObamaCare
Next week, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on the constitutionality of ObamaCare, but if the media were the judges, the Court would rule 9-0 in favor of it.

As Mika Reads Op-ed About 'Monstrous' Acts In Afghanistan, Morning Joe
Let's stipulate up front that it might well have been an innocent mistake. Even so, until explained, it was shocking to say the least.

A rather testy exchange on today's Morning Joe, with co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski going at it with Rick Santorum. A full five minutes of Santorum's segment were devoted to questioning him on his views on contraception and religious freedom.
