Mika To Hewitt: You're 'Uncomfortable Being Honest' on Debate Format
This NewsBuster is a paid subscriber and regular listener to Hugh Hewitt's podcasts, and believes that Hugh is the ablest conservative interviewer on radio. So it was surprising to see him serve as such a loyal CNN soldier on today's Morning Joe.
Hewitt, a member of the CNN panel at Wednesday's GOP debate, refused to complain about the paltry opportunities he was given to question the candidates…
Daily Beast's Michael Tomasky: A Democrat Won the GOP Debate
Among the insights: Fiorina "has a notable facility for delivering answers that thrill conservatives but fall apart under close examination"; a discussion of childhood vaccines showed that the party is "fervid, claustrophobic, recklessly insinuating, and, at the same time, utterly timid when it comes to extremism in its own ranks”; and the GOP as a whole is "wedded to the tenets of [George W.]…

NBC Paints Debate as ‘Exposing Disconnects' in the Republican Party
All three Thursday network evening newscasts led off with their respective recaps and analysis of the second Republican presidential debate, but NBC Nightly News stood out in proclaiming that the event “expos[ed] disconnects within the Republican Party” on issues such as Iraq in addition to defending Hillary Clinton from Fiorina’s “fierce attack” against her and Planned Parenthood.
NPR Host, O'Malley Pretend There's One Anti-Planned Parenthood Video
NPR generously donated an hour-long interview on Wednesday on The Diane Rehm Show to former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley. (Rehm also gave an hour to former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb in July.) Both Democrats are in Pataki territory in the polls for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The strangest part came when Rehm turned to the Republican desire to discontinue federal funding of Planned…
It's Time to Shelve the Sideshows, GOP
I wish the presidential debates could focus on what's wrong with the status quo and solutions rather than on what one candidate thinks about another's silly remarks.
I don't want to hear Jeb Bush cajoling Donald Trump to apologize to his wife in front of millions of people. I don't want moderators to force a food fight between Trump and other candidates about whether he should have his finger on…

MSNBC RINO Parrots Myth of Nixon's 'Secret Plan' to End Vietnam War
It is among the most durable of left-wing delusions, one that refuses to die a worthy death nearly a half-century after liberal propagandists dumped it on the public.
The bogus claim made its most recent appearance on -- go figure -- MSNBC during yet another earnestly deceptive broadcast of The Rachel Maddow Show.

Blitzer Lets Hillary Dodge Q's on PP Videos; Barely Discuss E-Mails
In her first live interview of the 2016 campaign via satellite, Hillary Clinton spoke with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer during Thursday's The Situation Room and received a free pass from Blitzer in allowing her to dodge a question about whether she’s viewed the horrifying Planned Parenthood videos.

NBC's Latest Attack on Carly: Her Super PAC 'Tests Legal Limits'
"[I]n the current presidential campaign, the lines [between super PACs and candidates] are being blurred even more and no candidate is testing the legal limits more visibly or blatantly than Carly Fiorina, whose performance in Wednesday night’s Republican debate has thrust her candidacy into the spotlight," NBC News's Alexandra Jaffe and Kailani Koenig in a posting today at NBCNews.com's Meet the…

MSNBC, CNN Ignore Fiorina's Forceful Slam of Planned Parenthood
MSNBC's Morning Joe and CNN's New Day both interviewed Carly Fiorina on Thursday after she did well at the Republican presidential debate. However, the two programs failed to bring up her dare to President Obama and Hillary Clinton to watch the hidden camera videos exposing Planned Parenthood's sale of unborn babies' organs and tissue. CNN's Alisyn Camerota and Chris Cuomo largely skirted the…

MSNBC Slams Fiorina’s ‘Serious Misstatements’ on Planned Parenthood
Eager to provide supposed “fact-checking” of the Republican presidential debate, on Thursday, MSNBC NewsNation host Tamron Hall declared: “But to Carly Fiorina's moment regarding Planned Parenthood. While that comment was applauded by conservatives, a lot of that Twitter traffic was also...people fact-checking her on that statement.”
Lefty Blogger: GOP Debate, Like Reagan, Is ‘Complete Bulls**t’
Apropos of Wednesday night’s Republican debates, Esquire’s Charles Pierce worried that political reporters may be treating the race for the party’s presidential nomination as if it were a Brad Thor novel rather than a highly consequential real-world event.
“How do you cover a campaign in which 15 candidates are running on the basis of things that simply are not true…that simply do not exist?”…
