CNN.com: 'Palestinians Shot Boarding Kids' Bus'
Sometimes the bias happens right under your nose. Here's to the folks at StandWithUs for their eagle-eyed observation of bias earlier this evening during CNN's live broadcast of the Benghazi hearing. "Palestinians shot boarding kids' bus," reads the header. In truth, the perpetrators shot were terrorists intending on harming innocent children.
AP Fails to Investigate How Jobless Claims Stay Low With Slow Hiring
If a Republican or conservative was in the White House, the Associated Press's Martin Crutsinger would have found a reason to be unimpressed in his dispatch today about how low initial unemployment claims continue to be, even as hiring has been slowing down. (Ideally, reporters should just relay the facts and leave the theorizing out of their stories, but that ship has sadly long since sailed.)…
AP Fails to Note 21,000 Jobs Lost in Government's State Jobs Report
On October 2, the government's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that U.S. payroll employment increased in September by a seasonally adjusted 142,000 jobs. That was disappointing enough, but then the BLS's regional and state report for September released on Tuesday showed a combined total of 21,000 jobs lost in all 50 states and DC.
In his coverage of the state report, the Associated Press's…
The Onion: ‘PP Has Enough Fetus Cash to Keep Going’
Culture
Some things hit a little too close to home—especially if you’re a humorless liberal who doesn’t get satire unless it’s aimed at conservatives.
That being said, yesterday The Onion came out with the headline ‘Defunded Planned Parenthood Reassures Supporters It Has Enough Fetus Cash To Keep Going’ in light of Texas barring Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood.

Hillary Fakes 'Southern Drawl' Again; Press Won't Question Genuineness
Hillary Clinton was in Alabama a few days ago. As she has in the past at least two other times when south of the Mason-Dixon line, she decided that she could drop the letter "g" from several of her "i-n-g" words while affecting a sort-of Southern accent.
This time she was in Alabama. Mrs. Clinton cut the "g" from the at least the following words she has no trouble fully pronouncing when she's in…
MSNBC.com Hypes 'Little Girl' Offering to Campaign for Hillary

Press Mostly Ignores Hillary's Praise of Australia's Gun Confiscation
The establishment press is mostly ignoring what Hillary Clinton said about gun control at a New Hampshire town hall meeting on Friday morning. Searches on "Clinton Australia" (not in quotes), attempting to find her statement that a massive, coercive gun "buyback" such as that seen in the Land Down Under almost 20 years ago "would be worth considering doing it on the national level," indicate that…
Salon Writer: To Get a Gun, You Should Have to Take a Bullet
D. Watkins has written at Salon.com for about 1-1/2 years.
In his previous columns, he has shown that he fits right in with the "white privilege and oppression of blacks explains everything" crowd. Friday (HT Twitchy), he went into uncharted territory, seriously suggesting that no American should be able to own a gun until they "know the pain of getting hit" (bolds are mine):

MSNBC Uses Discredited Map Showing 'Palestine' Land Shrinkage
Based on a map presented during a recent MSNBC broadcast, I'm left wondring why there's all this hand-wringing over a "two state solution" in the Middle East.
After all, according to that MSNBC map and the host of the program involved, "Palestine" has been around for almost 70 years, existing since 1946 (HT Sooper Mexican at the Right Scoop):
Maine Food Stamp Enrollment Declines; AP Ignores Work Requirement
A week ago (late on a Friday afternoon, naturally), the Obama administration released food stamp enrollment figures for July. Despite millions of Americans finding work during the past several years, the data continued a national trend of little to no meaningful decline in enrollment.
Seasonally adjusted Household Survey employment is now 148.8 million, slightly above its prerecession November…
NYT Critic: 'Truth' Is 'Beautifully Executed Journalistic Thriller'
The New York Times has not merely climbed aboard the bandwagon of Truth, which exalts the fraudulent September 2004 CBS 60 Minutes report about President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard Service. It's now serving as the film's de facto lead apologist.
The most recent example demonstrating how deeply in the tank the Old Gray Lady has gone is Stephen Holden's Thursday film review…
McArdle: 'A Marshmallow Planet' More Likely Than Truth in 'Truth'
The disgraceful determination of Hollywood to rewrite history not favorable to the left, its causes and its personalities has perhaps reached its nadir with the laughably misnamed movie Truth.
The film is about Dan Rather's September 2004 60 Minutes report on President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard Service during the 1970s. In Rather's words, "The nuanced, not preachy, script makes…
NYT Admits Writer's F-Bomb Post on Jeb was 'Completely Inappropriate'
The New York Times admitted on Thursday that a staff writer's F-word attack on former Governor Jeb Bush was out of step with their standards. Politco's Hadas Gold and Marc Caputo quoted an unnamed spokesperson for the liberal newspaper who labeled the now-deleted Twitter post from Philip B. Richardson "completely inappropriate," and stated that "the staffer is being dealt with."

DWS BS: 'About a Dozen' Dems Not Told About the Number of Debates
Democratic National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has insisted that she consulted with all of her vice-chairs before deciding on the number of Democratic presidential primary debates would be held.
John Heilemann of Bloomberg Politics, in what Hot Air's Jazz Shaw described as "a rare moment of" someone in the press actually "doing their job" in fact-checking leftists, reported this morning…
