Thursday's The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC displayed a classic example of how liberals fail to grasp the basic logic of people's economic decisions or, even when they are aware of economic principles, they still find reasons to be dismissive of a predictable outcome that goes against how they wish the world would function. As host O'Donnell convened a group to discuss an…

December 27th, 2013 3:18 PM
With a headline at a Washington Post story by Amy Goldstein and Juliet Eilperin reading "Obama administration quietly extends health-care enrollment deadline by a day," you would think that the administration issued some kind of press release without comment — or at least, as was the case with its announcement waiving the individual mandate for those who had individual policies cancelled,…

Greenwald Schools MSNBC Host: ‘I Defend Snowden Like People On MSNBC

December 26th, 2013 4:24 PM

U.S. News Outlets Ignore 'Appalling Patient Care, Bureaucratic Cover-u

December 26th, 2013 1:01 PM
Their stated excuse is, "These could never happen here, so why should U.S. news consumers care?" Their real excuse is, "We don't want anyone thinking that Obamacare could lead to this, even though there are already plenty of signs that it will."

AP: Egypt's Government Calling Muslim Brotherhood 'Terrorists' Is a 'D

December 26th, 2013 8:32 AM
It seems that Associated Press reporter Maggie Michael and Sarah El Deeb, her partner in distortion, can hardly believe that Egypt's military-backed government is calling terrorists "terrorists."

AP's Raum Comforts the Left: 'Health Law Not First New Program With La

December 24th, 2013 5:41 PM
Not to worry, people. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Medicare Part D got through "technical glitches, political hostility and gloom-and-doom denouncements." So will Obamacare. That's the Christmas love letter delivered to the left by Tom Raum of the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, late this morning.
