CBS, NBC Censor Obama Admin. Admitting ObamaCare Premiums Skyrocketing

Oregonian: 2.5-Percent Receipts Tax 'Could' Raise Consumer Prices
I hope I'm right when I contend that most people in Oregon aren't as dumb as the writer of a photo caption in an article found at Oregon Live, the web site of the Oregonian, apparently is (or, one hopes, is only pretending to be).

Salon Writer: ‘Partial-Birth Abortion’ a ‘Medically Nonsensical Term'
The liberals who thought Chris Wallace did a bang-up job as moderator of the third presidential debate were judging strictly by appearances, contended Daily Kos’s Laura Clawson and Salon’s Gary Legum in separate articles.

AP: 2016 Deficit, Up 34 Percent From Last Year, 'Totally Manageable'

NYMag Pundit: Trump, GOP Agree Women Aren’t ‘Full Human Beings’
Liberals like to allege that Donald Trump turns the bigoted subtext of longstanding Republican ideas into text that’s about as subtle as a whoopee cushion. As Rebecca Traister put it in a Monday article, the GOP traditionally has been “covert” about “the very biases that [Trump] makes coarse and plain.” Regarding the uproar over the Access Hollywood audio, Traister wrote, "Trump…is not distinct…

Many writers on the left and beat journalists in the establishment press contend that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and running mate Mike Pence tell lies so often that it's virtually impossible to keep up with all of them.
