Lawrence O'Donnell Outs New Taxes in Health Care Bill
In the news today, the President and Oprah attempt to snag the Olympics from Rio, a Congressman yells something dumb on the floor of the House (not a Republican!), and double standards abound. Meanwhile, back on the Hill, there's a humble bill involving the entire health care system of the United States making its way through the Senate.

Dan Rather to Be Keynote Speaker at Planned Parenthood Event
Steven Ertelt at LifeNews.com reported on Wednesday that former CBS News anchor Dan Rather will be the keynote speaker for a Planned Parenthood fundraising dinner in Minneapolis on October 13.

Senate Health Bill Funds Abortion; Media Mostly Mum
Major newspapers and networks have been ignoring the question of abortion coverage in the new health care bill sponsored by Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont.

The Boston Globe only mentioned in passing that the…
ABC Perpetuates Myth of Violent Pro-Lifers
It's standard journalistic practice to put the most important information at the very beginning of an article. For ABC News, it appeared the most pertinent facts about Irene Vilar, a woman who had 15 abortions in 16 years, were her fears about how pro-life activists would receive her new book, "Impossible Motherhood." ABC reporter Susan Donaldson James perpetuated the myth of raging pro-…
Congressman Calls ObamaCare 'Abortion Industry Bailout'; Rips Media fo
The United States has been called a bailout nation, following the passage of TARP in 2008 and the government takeover of the auto industry earlier this year. However, that may ring true in other, more controversial areas, as well. Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J, took President Barack Obama and proponents of his style of health care reform, along with the news media that cover the issue, to task, in a…
AP's Fouhy, In Analysis of 2010 Congressional Landscape, Calls GOP Bas
In a Sunday "uh-oh" review of 2010's electoral landscape as it applies to nationwide congressional races, the Associated Press's Beth Fouhy insulted GOP voters while effectively implying that they are the only ones who oppose ObamaCare, "reckless spending, and high debt." The foundation of Fouhy's piece is a fear that Democrats may be in peril of losing their House majority in 2010. Funny, when…
CBS Skips Killing of Pro-Life Activist; ABC Sees ‘Flip Side’ to Ki
Katie Couric’s CBS Evening News on Friday omitted any mention of the murder of pro-life activist Jim Pouillon in Michigan, despite having discussed the murder of abortionist George Tiller on the June 1, June 2 and June 9 newscasts (and then referencing the killing as a recent “hate crime” in a June 10 report on the shooting at Washington, D.C.’s Holocaust Museum).Both ABC’s World News and the NBC…
Montel Williams to Rep. Michele Bachmann: Use the Knife to Kill Yourse
Perhaps he's auditioning for a part on MSNBC: The place for Michele Bachmann bashing. Air America host Montel Williams stepped away from his mild-mannered World Series of Poker playing, Big Orange prescription drug bus driving and medicinal marijuana advocacy roles to fire a salvo at Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., encouraging her to stab herself on his Sept. 2 radio show (h/t Radio Equalizer…
Just Abstain from CNN? Costello Favors Left-Wing Voices on Sex Educati
CNN’s Carol Costello report on Thursday’s American Morning about the end of abstinence-only sex education in North Carolina leaned to the left in the featured sound bites.

AP Mostly Quotes from Leftists on Ted Kennedy's Catholicism
Jay Lindsay quoted almost exclusively from liberals in his report on Ted Kennedy’s Catholicism for the AP on Friday. Only one of those excerpted by Lindsay was a conservative, not counting Catholic Church officials.The AP correspondent led his article, titled “Kennedy’s Catholicism source of comfort, conflict,” with some glowing language, but at least portrayed how the deceased senator was not…
Media’s Pro-Choice Darling Called Humans ‘Ecotumors
To liberal media outlets, Warren Hern, one of the few late-term abortion providers in the country, has been worthy of praise as a doctor who boldly stands up for his beliefs in the face of intimidation - a lonely humanitarian braving violent death for the sake of his patients. That's the picture painted by TV and other media. What's missing from the portrait is Hern's belief that humans are "…
