CBS Sounds the Alarm Playing the Race Card Against Voter ID Laws
Amidst their voluminous Super Tuesday 3 coverage, the CBS Evening News found just over two minutes to trot out the tired liberal argument that voter ID laws, like the one in North Carolina, have a racist angle. Mark Strassamann: “In North Carolina, about 1,000 voters cast provisional ballots because they didn't have enough identification to meet the state's new, strict voter ID law. The law was…

Reid: 'Snobbery' of Founding Fathers to Blame For Nominating Process
On Monday's All In, MSNBC's Joy Reid oddly asserted that "what could end up saving the Republican Party" from a Donald Trump nomination is "the snobbery of the Founding Fathers and the early proponents of the system, because the popular vote...doesn't choose the nominee. It's chosen at the state conventions. It's chosen by party insiders."

Bee Smears Ted Cruz as an Alien, Rafael Cruz for Being a Christian
While Donald Trump has drawn slews of voters thus far in the presidential campaign based on his controversial rhetoric, TBS’s Full Frontal host Samantha Bee has undertaken a similar strategy by seeking to be as vulgar as possible toward conservatives to attract favor and ratings by liberals.

Blogger: Obama Has Done More For Blue-Collar GOPers Than GOP Has
These days, one of the biggest meta-debates in politics concerns apportioning blame for the staying power of the Donald Trump circus. How much of Trump’s popularity is attributable to, say, the mainstream media? To conservative talk radio? In a Sunday post, The Washington Monthly’s Martin Longman pointed the finger at Republicans and absolved President Obama.

Hypocritical Wallace Hits GOP for Not Calling Out Trump Sooner
Appearing on Monday’s NBC Today, political analyst Nicolle Wallace condemned Republicans for not speaking out sooner against Donald Trump, following instances of violence at rallies for the GOP frontrunner. However, only one week earlier, on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Wallace condemned Trump’s opposition within the party as “illegitimate.”
Paper: Trump Rally Cancelled Because 'His Supporters Became Violent'
Layers of editors and fact-checkers at the Columbus (OH) Dispatch and others involved in its production "somehow" failed to detect the creation of an obviously false caption to a campaign rally photo of Donald Trump taken by a St. Louis Post-Dispatch photographer.
The photo, taken on Friday at Trump's St. Louis appearance by the Post-Dispatch's David Carson, had the following caption, apparently…
ABC’s Ignorance of the Republican Party Exposed in Drama ‘The Family’
Culture
I’ve been wary of how ABC’s new suspense drama The Family would play politics from the beginning. The main character Claire Warren (Joan Allen), whose son has mysteriously reappeared after being missing and thought dead for 10 years, is a Republican running for governor in a campaign run by her daughter, Willa. It took until the third episode, “Of Puppies and Monsters,” for them to finally start…

In two separate appearances on Sunday morning political talk shows, Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio continued to call out the liberal media for their favoritism toward GOP frontrunner Donald Trump by covering Trump’s rallies and press conferences “wall to wall” since it’s “good for ratings” despite the role it arguably plays in the degradation of the American political culture.

CNN Anchor Taken Aback When GOP Guest Ties Clinton Camp to Birtherism
As CNN Newsroom host Poppy Harlow on Saturday tried to suggest Republicans like John Kasich deserve blame for not speaking out against Donald Trump when he was pushing birtherism against President Barack Obama several years ago, she was taken aback when her guest, Ohio GOP chairman Matt Borges, turned the tables by implicating Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign in dabbling in similar…
Formerly Conservative Writer Foresees Decline of Conservatism
Michael Lind thinks that movement conservatives are becoming a minor force in American politics, supplanted less by liberal Democrats than by what might be called Trump Republicans.
In a Wednesday article for Politico, Lind contended that growing “populist discontent” is bringing about “the gradual replacement of Buckley-Goldwater-Reagan conservatism by something more like European national…

MSNBC Panel Claims GOP Haven’t Done Enough to Denounce Trump
While his MSNBC show PoliticsNation now resides on Sunday mornings at 8:00 a.m. Eastern, Al Sharpton has still been doing his best to accuse conservatives of racism at every turn and this Sunday’s edition was no different as he and his assembled panelists claimed that the right has done little to nothing to distance itself from Donald Trump.
