After Terror, NYT Changes Subject to Guns in PR-Stunt Page 1 Editorial
After the massacre by radical Islamists who killed 14 and wounded 21 more in San Bernardino, Calif., the New York Times took its tasteless grandstanding on gun control literally to the front, in a rare front-page editorial, "The Gun Epidemic" calling for bans on civilian ownership for certain types of rifles and ammunition.

WashPost Plays Dumb on Page 1: 'Motive Elusive' in California Rampage
After all of the breaking news about terrorist motives yesterday, Friday morning’s Washington Post was silly with the top headline “Motive elusive in deadly Calif. rampage.”
The story even had a subhead admitting “Arsenal found in home of the two shooters.” It began with how authorities were “still trying” to locate a motive “even as they revealed the two attackers had amassed a large stockpile…

WashPost 'Fact Checker' Hurls '4 Pinocchios' at Cruz -- Not Hillary
The Washington Post “Fact Checker” column is crying “pants on fire” or something like it against Ted Cruz. The unsubtle headline is “Ted Cruz’s Four-Pinocchio claim that ‘the overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats’.”

The press's reluctance to relay Obamacare-related bad news has been obvious for years. Nowhere is this more consistently the case than at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press.
Over half of the state non-profit co-ops set up under Obamacare with $2 billion-plus in taxayer funding are failing. The AP has generally treated those failures as local stories, even though they relate to…
