AP Doubles Down on Boston Bombing T-Word Reluctance: 'The Blasts ... R
Those who might have given the Associated Press's Jimmy Golen the benefit of the doubt early this morning for writing that the Boston Marathon bombings "raised alarms that terrorists might have struck again in the U.S." are going to have a tougher time doing so with his 8:15 a.m. report, in which he wrote that "the blasts among the throngs of spectators raised fears of a terrorist attack."

ABC Fawns Over Obama's Pal Jay-Z as 'One of the Great Poets of Our Age
The journalist at Good Morning America once again showed how unserious they are when it comes to challenging Barack Obama. On Friday, the reporters covered the latest on rapper Jay-Z's trip to communist Cuba in an amused tone. Lifestyle anchor Lara Spencer featured no Republican critics of the international visit.

Politico's Donovan Slack Makes Up Boehner's Reaction to Obama's Budget
Any time you see an establishment press reporter fail to use quotation marks in characterizing something said by a subject of his or her report, be on the lookout for misdirection, misinterpretation, and downright distortion, especially if the person is a conservative or Republican.

Paleo-Rocker Stephen Stills Slams GOP as 'Neanderthal' Party
Just my impression but it sounded like the man said this without a trace of irony.

Survey of 15,000 Cops Shows They Don't Support Obama's Gun Control Ag
President Obama exploited the dead in Connecticut this morning in a last ditch effort to shame Congress into supporting his anti-gun agenda. He had some help too. As my NewsBusters colleague Scott Whitlock posted today, all three networks – ABC, NBC, and CBS – fawned over the president’s gun control agenda, with ABC News’ Jon Karl describing it as a “moral imperative.” Yet, it seems that none…
