NYT's Fight for Dubious $15 Minimum Wage Boils Onto Front Page
The New York Times' fight for the economically dubious $15 minimum wage (and its related obsession with "income inequality") boiled over onto the front page the day after nationwide protests against fast-food companies by left-wing activists.

WaPo: Gyrocopter Guy, Hillary Have Campaign Finance Reform in Common
When I found out that the gyrocopter guy who landed on the Capitol lawn yesterday was protesting against obscene political campaign finances, my first thought was to wonder why he didn't land on Hillary Clinton's Chappaqua lawn. If ever there was an example of obscenely large and shadowy campaign finances, Hillary's political war chest would be ground zero. However, the lesson taken away from…

NY Times Dazzled by Clintons' 'Otherworldly Resilience' to Scandal
It’s a little amazing how journalists will swoon over the Clintons’ remarkable ability to survive in politics, failing to recognize that they survive with a huge scoop of assistance from mouth-breathing reporters who love them.
This New York Times headline caught my eye on Twitter on Wednesday: “You Don’t Have to Tell a Clinton Twice.” Jonathan Martin explained that when Gov. Bill Clinton lost…
Ed Schultz: Hillary Doesn't Have to Answer Any Press Questions
MSNBC’s Ed Schultz can’t seem to stop the partisan doubletalk spewing from his big mouth.

Hillary Was Pressed on Private E-Mail Two Years Ago; CBS, ABC Skimp
ABC and CBS on Wednesday skimped on the new revelation that Hillary Clinton was pressed two years ago about having a private e-mail server.
