PolitiFact Repeals the Laws of Supply and Demand

NBC News Doesn't Consider Thursday Evening Speech by Staples Founder A
Once again the folks at NBC News have "curated some of the notable speeches" from a night at the GOP convention.

NBC News's Mark Murray More Nuanced On Janesville GM Plant Closing Tha
While the Obama acolytes at MSNBC are insisting that the Janesville, Wisconsin, GM plant was "closed" in December 2008 on President Bush's watch, NBC News senior political editor Mark Murray was more nuanced in an appearance with Thomas Roberts on MSNBC shortly after 2:30 p.m. Eastern today.
