CNN Panelists Agree: Clintons Helping Tony Rodham Not A Scandal
On Monday's New Day on CNN, the New Yorker's Ryan Lizza asserted that there was no wrongdoing in former President Bill Clinton helping his brother-in-law, Tony Rodham, get a job with former DNC head Terry McAuliffe (who's now the governor of Virginia): "Bill Clinton was not in office. It doesn't seem to conflict with her [Hillary Clinton's] job as secretary of state. If Bill Clinton helped out…

Only CBS Notices Clintons Attempting to Intimidate Watchdog Group
As the controversy swirling around the Clinton Foundation continued to grow, Monday, only CBS This Morning covered the revelation that the Clintons attempted to pressure a well-known charity watchdog into withdrawing its objections. Despite a combined six hours of air-time, ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today ignored the story.
Fiorina Registers ChuckTodd.org After He Cites Her 'Lost' .org Domain
Chuck Todd should have been ready for this, but he wasn't.
Just a few days days ago, on the very network at which Todd toils, "Late Night" comedian Seth Meyers thought he would be cute and embarrass GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina over not registering the CarlyFiorina.org domain, thereby allowing a critic to take it and use it as a platform for criticizing her tenure as H-P's CEO.…
Nation Writer: America ‘Severely Corrupted’ By Right-Wing Money
According to columnist Eric Alterman, prominent journalists tend to realize that most Republicans are “ideological extremists” whose agenda, dictated by “the super-wealthy,” warps our politics. The problem, he added, is that the news stories those journalists write don’t reflect that realization.
Instead, argued Alterman in a piece for the magazine’s May 18 issue, “even our best reporters feel…
Blogger: Increasingly Diverse America ‘Profoundly Unsettling’ to Right
Edmund Burke wrote that “a state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.” To American Prospect blogger Paul Waldman, “change” for conservatives means living to fight another day by conceding battle after battle to liberals.
“Much of the history of the United States,” wrote Waldman in a Friday post, “is a slow but inexorable movement in a progressive direction,…

Oops: Clooney Loves Hillary, But Mistakes Benghazi as a 2008 Scandal
George Clooney is a big Hillary fan. He was asked by Fusion host Jorge Ramos “Are you going to be helping her for 2016?” Clooney replied, “Sure, whatever she wants, whatever I way I can help.” He added, I think she would be a tremendous candidate...I know her, and I think the world of her, and I think that I would be very happy if she were president.”
But Ramos pointed out “You said in 2008 she…
Univision’s Next Telenovela: La Patrona 2016
Latino
Over the course of chronicling the incestuous (and opaque) relationship between Hillary Clinton and Univision, its news division’s insanely biased coverage of conservatives, its ongoing campaign of vitiation of conservative Hispanics, and its overall leftward biases, I’ve come to the following realization: it may well be an exercise in madness to continue to treat Univision’s news division as an…
La próxima telenovela de Univisión: La Patrona 2016
Latino
Durante el transcurso de cubrir la relación incestuosa (y opaca) entre Hillary Clinton y la cadena Univisión, su cobertura viciadísima de conservadores, su campaña de descalificación contra conservadores hispanos y su sesgo hacia la izquierda, he llegado a la siguiente conclusión: que bien podría ser locura pretender cubrir a ese departamento de noticias como a un departamento de noticias.
Daily Beast Writer: Gay-Rights Movement ‘The Real Moral Majority’
The faltering religious right would be well served to borrow a strategy from gay activists, but it almost certainly won’t, contended The Daily Beast’s Michael Tomasky in a Friday column.
In Tomasky’s telling, the gay-rights movement in the 1980s alienated many because it could be self-righteous to the point of belligerence, but eventually “the leaders of the movement saw that it was more…
