"Graham felt comfortable with Harman's…

While Democrats like Nancy Pelosi professed not to disturbed by their gloomy electoral prospects, ABC's Christiane Amanpour could have really riled her up by noting Ed Schultz proclaimed on his radio show Friday that he's boycotting the midterm elections unless someone extends unemployment benefits past 99 weeks. Democrats are apparently  worthless and weak while the Republicans "say yes to death…

In the midst of bad news for Democrats, Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos on Monday continued to search for a silver lining.

On Friday, the Associated Press published a shockingly partisan article about the ethics investigation against House Democrat Charlie Rangel. Instead of giving a neutral account of the proceedings, the AP sourly reported that the GOP is getting its "wish" after Republicans "wanted" an election year embarrassment to use against Democrats. The article, written by Larry Margasak with assistance…

Imagine that it's 2006, and an elderly, long-serving conservative U.S. congressman from a deep-red congressional district is facing congressional hearings regarding charges of corruption and tax evasion. Also imagine that this congressman was caught on camera being exceedingly condescending and dismissive when asked about these charges by a young reporter. The media drumbeat of indignation would…

Does the host of the leftwing "The Young Turks" internet talk show, Cenk Uygur, realize that he has provided some really good reasons to defeat Harry Reid in November? I'm sure that wasn't his intent when Uygur went into some detail on the sad state of the Las Vegas economy which sure wasn't helped when President Obama openly discouraged businesses from making trips there last year despite the…

Plante went further, explaining: "...it is the beginning of…

Perhaps it's the proximity of North Dakota, Ed Schultz's home state, to Minnesota but the MSNBC host has an identifiable fixation on a certain conservative Republican congresswoman from Minnesota. On his July 29 program "The ED Show," Schultz once again attacked Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. This time this wizard of smart attacked her for loving to get "her mug out there." But if that's a…
