Following most nationwide elections, one of the liberal media’s favorite tropes is to trumpet so-called “historic” winners that assist one in filling out a diversity bingo card. Such was the case Wednesday morning after the lackluster Republican performance as ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship news programs to swoon over Democrat Maxwell Frost winning a dark-blue Orlando-area House seat to…

Ruhle Asks 'Petite, Capable' Hochul If She's A Victim Of 'Sexism'
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul finds herself in an unexpectedly close race with less than one week to go until Election Day so she stopped by MSNBC’s The 11th Hour on Friday to be asked by host Stephanie Ruhle if the reason for her struggles is “sexism by voters” and “we give you enough credit” on crime.
Late last month, Hochul signed a bill that required toy guns to be manufactured with bright colors while also prohibiting the sale of guns that are black, blue, silver or aluminum, Fox News reported. The idea is to ban anything that could be mistaken for a real gun in an attempt to bring down the crime rate in the city.

First Your Guns; Then Your Words: NY Law Targets Free Speech
Liberals like to mock people offering "thoughts and prayers" in response to deadly shootings. But liberals themselves invariably trot out a largely useless approach to such tragedies. They focus on guns, not the criminals who use them. And just like the politicians, the liberal media also buys into this false focus. CNN Monday morning aired a segment on the killing of two law enforcement…
Psst! List of Prominent Pols Skipping Dem Convention in Charlotte Is U
The count of prominent Democratic Party politicians who have decided not to attend the Democratic Party's convention in Charlotte, thereby attempting to avoid direct association with the formal renomination of incumbent President Barack Obama, is up to seven. Press coverage has been sparse. One can only imagine how much media end-zone dancing there would have been in 2004 had one governor, one…
Maddow Can't Bear the Horror, the Horror of GOP House Victories in NY
The strangest thing happened last night on MSNBC -- its self-proclaimed civics geek Rachel Maddow ignored the results not one but two special elections the day before to fill vacancies in the House.
I know, I know, hard to believe. I mean, every time Maddow does report on elections results -- such as when Democrats win -- she'll segue into her reporting by mock drumming to NBC's bombastic…
NY Times Praises New Dem from 'Devout' Catholic Family, Skips Her Abor
On Monday, New York Times reporter Raymond Hernandez profiled Democrat Kathy Hochul, the winner of the recent special congressional election to fill a seat from a Republican district in New York state, in "Her Inheritance: An Eagerness to Serve."

NY Times Found Win in NY Special Election 'Galvanizing for Democrats
After Democrats won a special congressional election in New York State, New York Times congressional reporter Carl Hulse seemed comfortable leading the early cheers for Democrats looking to win back the House of Representatives, in Tuesday’s "Political Memo," "Surprise Victory in New York Invigorates Democrats Looking to 2012."
It’s not something the Times does after Republican wins in…
Nets Claim GOP Plan for 'Deep Cuts' in Medicare Led to 'Seismic' Dem W
All three network morning shows on Wednesday cheered Democrat Kathy Hochul winning the special election in New York's 26th congressional district and framed the outcome as a rejection of Republican plans to reform Medicare. On NBC's Today, news reporter Ann Curry proclaimed: "The race hinged on Hochul's opposition to a Republican-led plan to make deep cuts in Medicare." [Audio available here…
Media Pushing False Notion Dem Victory in NY Race Would Mean Rejection
Many in the press are gearing up to present today's special election in New York's 26th Congressional District as a referendum on Republican budget proposals and plans to reform entitlement programs.
MSNBC's website collected examples of such claims from numerous news outlets, including the Associated Press, Roll Call, the Hill, and a pair of local newspapers. Left-wing news outfits such as…
NBC Affiliate Tries Playing Defense For Dem House Candidate, Fails Mis
While NB usually focuses on the national news media, sometimes a local news segment is just so brazenly biased that it merits at least a mention.
A local NBC News affiliate in New York decided it would fact-check a National Republican Congressional Committee attack ad aimed at Kathy Hochul, the Democratic candidate for the congressional seat left vacant by former Rep. Chris Lee (R). The…
