February 23rd, 2016 5:42 PM
They say "honesty is the best policy" but apparently Democratic presidential candidate frontrunner Hilary Clinton didn’t get that memo either.

February 22nd, 2016 6:58 PM
Donald Trump may strike general election voters as "moderate" and hence be "electable," more so than anyone else remaining in the GOP primary field, because of his stand in favor of taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood.

February 22nd, 2016 3:25 PM
Apparently, MarketWatch columnist Rex Nutting completely misunderstands the meaning of the c-word.
And by “c-word,” we, of course, mean “conservative.”
In his laughably headlined column: “Hillary Clinton will win because she’s the true conservative in this race,” Nutting liberally switches between the words “conservative” and “establishment,” arguing that both mean the same thing.
The NY Times Takes a ‘Hard-Line’ on the GOP -- But No Labels for Dems?
February 22nd, 2016 3:15 PM
The New York Times continues to list portside in its labeling, going particularly overboard in the last several months in using “hard-line” and “hard-right” to describe conservative presidential candidates, their policy positions, and the voters those candidates are appealing to.

CNN’s resident gem Sally Kohn was a guest on CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello February 22. The political analyst and Daily Beast writer was asked to weigh in on Clinton’s trust with voters.

Mika Brzezinski: A Reporter Has Hillary Wall Street Speech Transcripts
February 22nd, 2016 11:59 AM
Early Saturday morning, while covering the upcoming Nevada Democratic Party caucuses, co-host Mika Brzezinski claimed on MSNBC's Morning Joe show that a "print reporter" has "actual transcripts" of certain of Hillary Clinton's paid speeches to financial firms.

On CNN's State of the Union show Sunday morning, Jake Tapper appeared to try to carve out an exception for his network in how it has covered Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
