Soledad O'Brien Welcomes Dem Mayor But Belittles Romney Advisor
While CNN's Soledad O'Brien tossed softballs at Democratic Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, she was not so kind to her Republican guest during the next hour, on Thursday's Starting Point. O'Brien reported poor poll numbers for both the Romney and Obama campaigns, but went after only the Romney campaign's economic message in detail.
O'Brien teed up the Democratic mayor to respond to…

Michelle Malkin Takes Juan Williams to Woodshed for Saying 'I'm a Real
A fight broke out between New Media and Old Media on Fox News's Hannity program Wednesday that has the entire blogosphere abuzz.
When Fox News's Juan Williams, in the midst of a discussion about the national security leaks controversy, arrogantly told syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin, "I'm a real reporter, I am not a blogger," all hell broke loose (video follows with transcript and…
AP Says Higher State Tax Collections 'Could' Reduce Public-Sector Layo
Maybe the answer to eliminating much of the annoying bias in establishment press business reporting is to have the reporters involved eliminate the could-might-maybe statements which almost inevitably follow the initial relay of the primary news.
Take the first paragraph of Christopher Rugaber's report Tuesday on recent increases in state tax collections (bolds are mine throughout this post):
Donny Deutsch: My Support Of Obama Is 'Wavering
Might the man who once said of himself "there's been nobody who's a bigger Obama supporter" vote for Mitt Romney? Maybe. On today's Morning Joe, Donny Deutsch—ad exec, man-about-the-Hamptons and quintessential wealthy NYC liberal—declared that his support for President Obama is "wavering."
Deutsch said that it was the bad jobs numbers of a couple weeks ago that "changed everything for me…
Chris Matthews Mocks Ann Romney for Having Horse That Might Go to Olym
MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Wednesday mocked Ann Romney for having a horse that might be heading to London to represent America in the Olympics.

WashPost's Chris Cillizza Takes It Upon Himself to Defend Obama's
Sure President Obama has been on a huge fundraising kick lately. And yes, he's clocked 160 fundraisers thus far in the reelection season, "more than double the 79 events that President George W. Bush had held by this time in the 2004 presidential race," the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza confessed today in his 11-paragraph page A6 article. [The print article was a condensed and updated…
Limbaugh Amazed at Obama's 'Have My Back' Radio Ad Targeting Blacks
In the 1 pm hour on Wednesday, Rush Limbaugh expressed amazement at the new Obama radio ad targeting black Americans. This is probably not a topic the political media will emphasize -- liberal and Democratic ads aimed at minority voters have at times been scurrilous and outrageous attacks on Republicans. But this ad uses old-time soul singers and a black announcer urging blacks "have to show…
Mika Brzezinski: 'I'm Hoping' Blaming Bush Will Work
We've gone from "hope and change" to hoping blaming Bush will work. As Joe Scarborough said: at least Mika Brzezinski's honest about it. Asked whether she believed that President Obama's attempt to continue to blame George W. Bush for the country's economic woes will work as a campaign strategy, a seemingly dispirited Mika Brzezinski replied: "well, I'm hopin'". Scarborough burst into…
Don Rickles Joke About Obama and Mop Scrubbed From TV Land Tribute Sho
“Viewers of TV Land will not be able to watch insult comic Don Rickles compare President Barack Obama to a janitor at the recent American Film Institute tribute to Shirley MacLaine,” The Hollywood Reporter revealed. “I shouldn’t make fun of the blacks...President Obama is a personal friend of mine,” said Rickles. “He was over to the house yesterday, but the mop broke.”
"He is not being…
'Poor John Bryson!' Even the Papers of Record Didn't Find Him Notable
“Poor John Bryson!” exclaimed the "Reliable Source" gossips at The Washington Post on Wednesday. “Be honest: How many of you could have coughed up the name of the commerce secretary last week, even if a Jeopardy Daily Double were on the line?” (Especially, you, Chris Matthews.)
Even the newspapers ignored him: “In the year since he was nominated for the job by President Obama, Bryson had…

WashPost Front-Pager on Collapsing Net Worth Missing One Word: 'Obama
A new economic report from the Federal Reserve doesn't offer much hope. On the front page of The Washington Post, Ylan Q. Mui underlined "the Federal Reserve said the median net worth of families plunged by 39 percent in just three years, from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010. That puts Americans roughly on par with where they were in 1992."
Furthermore, "the data represent[s] one of…
