Daily Beast's Sam Stein Thought DACA Participants Could Vote
Perhaps no one illustrates how "Screw up, move up" works in the establishment press as it often works in government bureaucracies more than The Daily Beast's Sam Stein.

NYT Uses Hurricane to Chide 'Bizarre’ Conservatism of Texas
New York Times reporter Richard Fausset once again chided the "bizarre" conservative, anti-Washington sentiment of Texas after Hurricane Harvey, seeming to appreciate the red state being brought down a peg in his story for Tuesday’s front page, “After Proudly Defying Washington, Hard-Hit Texas Needs Its Aid.”

CNN, MSNBC Freak Over Trump’s ‘Cold Hearted’ DACA Decision
CNN and MSNBC journalists on Tuesday freaked out over Donald Trump’s decision to end DACA, deriding it as “cold hearted.” An agitated Jim Acosta fussed at the way in which Barack Obama’s questionably constitutional program is being phased out: “Why did the President not come out and make this announcement himself today?

Seriously? CNN Touts Claim Dana Loesch Has Threatened Journalists
CNN’s Brian Stelter continued his role as an unabashed liberal media cheerleader on Tuesday, promoting a pathetic statement from a media trade group claiming The Blaze host and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch incited violence against journalists in an April video denouncing media bias.

Even before Tuesday’s DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) announcement from Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the liberal media have been alarmist in their attacks on any proposed rollback.

As Trial Looms, NYT Bizarrely Leaves Out Sen. Menendez’s Democratic ID
New York Times reporter Nick Corasaniti’s initial 1,200-word story on the upcoming trial of Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey on federal bribery charges had everything but one little detail: His Democratic Party affiliation.

AP: Katrina 'An Example of Urban Inequality, Environmental Injustice'
The Associated Press couldn't keep race and income out of its coverage of Hurricane Harvey and Houston's recovery from it.
