Todd Wonders If GOP ‘Inadvertently Helped Hillary’ By Holding Hearing
Meet the Press moderator and MSNBC’s MTP Daily host Chuck Todd led off the Thursday edition of the latter show by playing the consistently-played and tired line by the liberal media that Republicans are running the risk of or already have overplayed their hands when it comes to Hillary Clitnon’s e-mail scandal.

Wallace: Comey Was ‘The Only Hero’ at Hearing During ‘Sad Situation'
MSNBC quickly dispatched with Thursday’s four-hour-plus House Oversight Committee hearing featuring FBI Director James Comey on Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal in favor of covering the police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota, but not before political analyst and former Bush official Nicolle Wallace could decry the hearing as a “sad situation and state of affairs.” Dubbing Comey “the only…

CNN's Toobin Jabs GOP 'Publicity Hounds,' Schooled by Guest on Clinton

Toobin got in a jab at…
Inskeep Pushes Obama from Left on Race, Trump Hurting His Legacy
National Public Radio’s Steve Inskeep was back at it by scoring another interview with one of his favorite subjects in President Obama (with the transcript released on July 1) and included questions from the left on immigration reform, Donald Trump threatening to stand in Obama’s way of becoming a leftist Ronald Reagan, and white privilege being a centerpiece of the 2016 election.
Vox Writer: ‘American Independence In 1776 Was a Monumental Mistake’
On June 16, four days after the Orlando nightclub massacre, Dylan Matthews tweeted his endorsement of “letting the [president of the United States] unilaterally ban people (hopefully everyone!) from buying guns.” That’s provocative, but less so than a Matthews article from this time last year that was reposted Friday. In that piece, Matthews contended, “American independence in 1776 was a…
NYT Sends 'Largely Unscathed' Hillary on Victory Lap Over Benghazi
In the wake of Congress's official report on the Benghazi massacre, the front page of the New York Times Wednesday eagerly absolved Hillary Clinton of any fault in the attack in Libya that killed four Americans: “Benghazi Panel Finds No Misdeeds by Clinton.” The paper’s inside-the-paper analysis by Mark Landler and Amy Chozick found further vindication, not addressing Hillary Clinton’s moral…

This week’s episode of the new CBS body-snatching, political comedy BrainDead kicked off with escalating tensions as Senators Luke Healy and Ella Pollack battle to become the next Democratic Whip.

WashPost Pundit: For Hillary, Benghazi Just the Latest ‘Non-Scandal’
Conservatives can’t stand Hillary Clinton, but do they have reasons for their antipathy? No, suggests pundit Paul Waldman, who indicates that detailed accusations about such matters as emails or Benghazi are mere pretext for the right’s “visceral loathing” of Hillary, which would be expressed more genuinely via sexist insults, or maybe primal screams.
In a Tuesday Post web piece, Waldman wrote…
Outsourcing Security Is Dumb and Deadly
It is not a theory that delegating the protection of our embassy and military personnel to other countries risks lives. It is a reality bathed in American blood. The latest reports on Benghazi released this week underscore the persistent dangers of outsourcing security.

Fox's Kevin Corke: Keystone Refusal Took Longer Than Benghazi Probe
At Monday afternoon's White House press briefing, Fox News reporter Kevin Corke asked Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz about the reasons for the White House's reluctance to account for President Obama's whereabouts and activities on the night of the September 2012 Benghazi attacks.
Schultz never genuinely answered Corke's question, so then Corke zinged him with the fact that it took President…

CNN's Zeleny: House Dem Sit-In Supported by 'Vast Majority of Country'
Appearing as a panel member on Sunday's Inside Politics, CNN's Jeff Zeleny asserted that, although the House Democratic sit-in to protest in favor of more gun control was a "stunt," that it was a "stunt that the vast majority of the country supports." The CNN correspondent was presumably reacting to a flawed CNN poll which host John King had just cited claiming that 90 percent of respondents…

CNN Host Presses for More House Dem Protesting 10 Times in 6 Minutes
Given the dominant media fervor in favor of more gun control, plus the favorable coverage the House Democratic sit-in stunt has received, it would certainly not be a shock to find a CNN anchor asking a question or two to a Democratic congressman pressing that the protest should have lasted longer or that they should go back to protesting again later. However, CNN's Brianna Keilar asked 10…
