Contrary to popular media belief, the blizzard didn’t scare prolife marchers away. It scared reporters away. Either that, or their allegiance to the liberal agenda did the job. Tens of thousands of Americans filled Washington, D.C., Friday for the annual March for Life commemorating the nearly 60 million babies snuffed out since 1973’s Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. During their…

Chris Hayes Hotly Denies Planned Parenthood Sold Baby Parts
January 25th, 2016 9:26 PM
If he wants, Chris Hayes can crow about the refusal of a Houston grand jury to indict Planned Parenthood. But for him to claim, as he did on his MSNBC show tonight, that PP did not sell baby parts is absurd. As the videos revealed, not only was PP selling body parts, one of its officials joked [we have to hope] that she wanted to get as much money as possible so she could buy a Lamborghini.

January 24th, 2016 8:21 PM
Last Sunday’s (January 17) episode of Shameless, Showtime’s dramady about a family which excels at scheming to rip off government programs, featured a scene in which a teenager refused to agree to get an abortion. When older sister “Fiona” argues “you have a choice,” pregnant 15-year “Debbie” retorts: “I choose to have the baby.” “Debbie” soon yells: “I’m not killing my baby.” To which, “Fiona”…
No 'Blizzard' of Coverage: NYT Again Short-Changes March for Life
January 24th, 2016 1:47 PM
Thousands braved miserable conditions and an incoming blizzard to march against abortion on Friday, and the New York Times once again came up short in covering the story, though when compared to previous years there was a veritable “blizzard” of coverage. The paper’s Public Editor Margaret Sullivan chided the Times in 2014 for its sparse coverage of the annual March for Life, and recommended…

January 22nd, 2016 2:03 PM
As Friday's CNN Newsroom with Carol Costello devoted a segment to discussing the reasons so many young women are siding with Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential race instead of Hillary Clinton, Daily Beast columnist Keli Goff oddly claimed that Hillary Clinton has been a "victim of her own success" as she theorized that there is less hunger for electing a woman President because it has…
UPDATED: Twitter 'Top News' Story for #Roe43 Skews Left
January 22nd, 2016 1:16 PM
With today being the 43rd anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, #Roe43 is a trending topic on Twitter. When I clicked the hashtag to see the trending-topic page, I noticed that the "top news" item for the category was a study finding 95 percent of women do NOT regret having their abortion. But clicking the link takes you to a Reuters story that is six months old.

January 22nd, 2016 11:56 AM
On Friday, not only did CBS This Morning skip any coverage of the annual March for Life in Washington D.C., the morning show actually attacked one of the event’s keynote speakers, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, for her “anti-abortion” views.

January 14th, 2016 1:36 PM
A new Media Research Center study of every broadcast network evening newscast of 2015 documents last year's news agenda: heavy on crime, terrorism and weather, but light on Democratic scandals, ObamaCare's failings, the out-of-control national debt, sanctuary cities and Planned Parenthood's grotesqueries.

During Monday night’s Iowa Brown and Black Forum on Fusion, socialist Senator Bernie Sanders received questions on issues like education, gun control, and immigration, but also faced a rather bizarre one when a college student stepped to the microphone to ask Sanders if he would defund taxpayer funding for sex education programs in schools that allude to abstinence.

January 8th, 2016 9:29 PM
In a Wednesday post, New York magazine's Chait sought to debunk the belief that Marco Rubio is a moderate. As for why some might see him that way, Chait suggested a few reasons, among them that Rubio, unlike fellow Republican presidential contenders Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, “avoids statements that make him appear ostentatiously deranged.”
Chait argued that while Rubio’s focus on positioning…
