AP Starts the 2016 Character Assassination of Rick Perry, Part 2: 'A P
Earlier today (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), I noted how the Associated Press produced a series of reports following Texas Gov. Rick Perry's announcement that he would not seek another term which "can only be explained if their purpose is to poison his possible 2016 presidential aspirations."
The first example was a list of "five things to know" about Perry compiled by the AP's "wiseguy"…
AP Starts the 2016 Character Assassination of Rick Perry, Part 1: 'Fiv
A series of reports at the Associated Press following Texas Gov. Rick Perry's announcement that he would not seek another term can only be explained if their purpose is to poison his possible 2016 presidential aspirations. In doing so, the AP is from all appearances firing the opening shots in a campaign to duplicate the establishment press's tragically successful efforts to marginalize Perry and…
Minutes After Rick Perry's TX Announcement, WashPost Lectures: Don't R
On Monday, Governor Rick Perry (R-Texas) announced he would not seek a fourth term as chief executive of the Lone Star State, saying the time had come “to pass on the mantle of leadership.”
It took the liberal media roughly 30 minutes to begin what will no doubt be an onslaught against the former presidential candidate, with the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza offering all the reasons why…
MSNBC’s Roberts: ‘Men Should Not Care About The Sanctity Of Sperm
Once again, Thomas Roberts seems to confuse his job as a news reporter with a Democratic political strategist. Appearing as a fill-in host on Morning Joe on July 3, Thomas Roberts continued the MSNBC “victory lap” for Texas state senator Wendy Davis by criticizing men for passing laws designed at creating safer health standards for abortion clinics.
At issue was a piece by Kathleen Parker who…
MSNBC's Roberts: 2012 Was GOP's 'Last Real Viable Chance' at Presidenc
In September 2012, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough took a shot at frequent Morning Joe panelist and guest host Mike Barnicle, griping that the liberal made his morning show a “Marxist variety hour.” That observation was justified again Tuesday, as guest host Barnicle’s all-liberal panel bashed House Republicans for the second day in a row – this time on immigration reform.
MSNBC host Thomas…
'Morning Joe' Panel Does Hillary Two-Step: Defend Her, Call Critics Se
On Saturday, reporter Jonathan Martin wrote an interesting piece in the New York Times about Republican efforts to paint Hillary Clinton as “old news” for her potential 2016 run. Martin pondered the “striking” notion that Democrats “could run an older candidate” while Republicans “could nominate a youthful standard-bearer” in the next presidential election.
Of course, to the liberal panel on…

The Barack Obama Administration has been on a five-plus-year-long Collect-As-Much-Information-On-Us-As-Possible spree.

At AP, Seven Stories in Two Days on Texas's 500th Death-Penalty Execut
On Wednesday and Thursday, as seen in this search result at its national site, the Associated Press devoted six stories and a morning "10 Things" tease to the death-penalty execution of Kimberly McCarthy.
Make that seven, as an unbylined AP story which appeared at USA Today the morning after McCarthy died appears to have been replaced at the wire service's national site by another during…
MSNBC's Brzezinski, Halperin Gush over Potential Clinton Run: Hillary
Mika Brzezinski and the Morning Joe crew continued their obsession with Hillary Clinton’s non-existent presidential campaign on Wednesday. Brzezinski gushed that the former secretary of state “transcends” the Bush-Clinton dynasty concerns raised by Barbara Bush, while guest Mark Halperin claimed Hillary was “head and shoulders above” the rest of the field.
The MSNBC panel invited Sen. Claire…
NYTimes Hypes Sen. McCaskill's Endorsement of Hillary Clinton
It turns out MSNBC isn't the only liberal news outlet giddy about Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill's early endorsement of Hillary Clinton for a 2016 presidential bid.
This morning, the New York Times's Jonathan Weisman treated readers to a puffy 16-paragraph story headlined, "A Pro-Clinton PAC Receives the Support of a Key Obama Backer." Apparently when one thinks Democratic power…
'Morning Joe' Panel Hypes 'Very, Very, Very Big News' of McCaskill's H
According to James Carville, all Democrats want to do is “get behind” Hillary Clinton for the 2016 elections. It’s definitely easier for them to do so when the media is throwing their full weight behind the former secretary of state.
The liberal panelists on Tuesday’s Morning Joe hyped the “very, very, very big news” that Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is endorsing former Secretary Clinton…
AP Tries to Frame NSA Surveillance Issue as 'Far Left and Right' vs. E
In an early Wednesday morning story which seems to have been a strategic trial balloon, Charles Babington at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, ran a story trying to portray the NSA surveillance revelations by Edward Snowden and subsequent developments as matters which have only riled up people on the "far left and far right." Otherwise, the American people are okey-dokey…

Palin: Congress Should ‘Put Themselves on Cruz Control - Ted Cruz Co
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin had some harsh remarks for both parties Saturday while expressing high praise for Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tx.).
Speaking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, D.C., Palin said Congress should “put themselves on Cruz control - Ted Cruz control.”
