CBS Adopts Left-Wing Spin on ObamaCare Contraception Mandate: Women's
On Tuesday's CBS This Morning, co-host Gayle King adopted liberal spin on the ObamaCare contraception mandate being challenged in the Supreme Court: "It pits the rights of a woman's access to contraception against a company's religious freedom."

MRC Study: Network TV Gives Obamacare Less Than One Percent of Evening

MSNBC.com Laments Texas AG Abbott's 'Bogus Voter Fraud Crusade
MSNBC's rooting interest in the Texas gubernatorial race and the Lean Forward network's loathing of voter ID laws came together Monday in a hit piece on Republican gubernatorial nominee Greg Abbott.

Boston Globe Avoids Party ID of Lobbyist Ex-Congressman as He Cashes I
Wow, that was one heckuva mauling by the Boston Globe yesterday in a front-page story about Bill Delahunt, a former Bay State congressman raking in big bucks as a lobbyist and political consultant since leaving Congress three years ago.
But conspicuously absent from the story, written by Globe reporter Stephanie Ebbert, is a word that comes to mind for many a politico in this overly…
Networks Ignore Bad News for ObamaCare One Week Before Enrollment Dead
With only a week to go before ObamaCare's sign-up deadline, the networks ignored the law entirely on Monday evening even though the latest estimate has the administration one million sign-ups short of its revised goal.

Thomas Frank: When Clinton, Obama Sold 'Hope,' They Sold Out Rank-and
What's the Matter With Kansas? author Thomas Frank believes the matter with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama as presidential campaigners was that they spent too much time "selling tidy homilies" about "hope" and too little advocating ideas such as single-payer health care.
