Scalia’s Death Cheered by Fusion: It Could 'Save the Planet'
Latino
The death of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is being cheered by Univision’s sputtering millennial-focused English-language spinoff, Fusion. “How Antonin Scalia’s death could save the planet” is the title of a segment on the network’s website that exemplifies just how low Fusion is willing to go when it comes to trafficking in denigrating, over-the-top propaganda.
NYT's Hulse Again Sees GOP Doom, This Time for SCOTUS Stance
New York Times congressional reporter Carl Hulse damned with faint praise Republican majority leader Sen. Mitch McConnell in “McConnell Bets That Impasse on Court Now Helps G.O.P. Later.” Hulse characterized McConnell as “so crafty” while loosely wondering “what’s in his head?” as “far right politicians” praise McConnell for his stance on blocking any Supreme Court nominee from President Obama.…
Pro-Abort Activists Freak Out Over Pro-Lifers on NY Times Front Page
Radical feminists turned against the liberal New York Times, after the above-the-fold picture on the front page of Thursday's edition featured three pro-life women. The trio were picketing in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday. One held a sign which read, "I Am A Prolife Feminist." Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards posted on Twitter, "@NYTimes forgot to take photos of the 3k folks…

Halperin: All Agree Great for SCOTUS to 'Look More Like America'
I'm guessing most NewsBusters readers could care less about "diversity" when it comes to choosing Justices of the Supreme Court. That they'd be thrilled if all nine justices looked, for example, like Clarence Thomas--so long as all shared his philosophy of judicial restraint and original intent.
On today's With All Due Respect, Mark Halperin interviewed Planned Parent president Cecile Richards.…
WashPost Stumbles, IDs Pro-Lifers as 'Abortion Rights' Activists
The Washington Post goofed in a caption for a picture accompanying Sarah Kaplan's Wednesday article. Kaplan spotlighted the people who waited for hours in cold and wet conditions outside the Supreme Court in order to witness the oral arguments in the latest abortion case. The journalist correctly reported that Aimee Murphy of Life Matters Journal is a "'pro-life feminist,' a label she proudly…
NYT's Greenhouse Hits Scalia, Says TX Abortion Law Bash Just 'Facts'
As Supreme Court arguments loom next week for an abortion-rights case in Texas, the New York Times went all-in, with its former Supreme Court reporter and fervent abortion supporter Linda Greenhouse making the case on the front of the Sunday Review section. While Greenhouse claimed a factual approach, she predictably attacked the Texas clinic regulations as an obvious smoke-screen for an anti-…
WashPost's Thiessen: Biden Blocked Court Nominations in 1988 and 1992
Conservative and center-right columnists often have to do far more digging than their liberal counterparts, simply because overwhelmingly left-leaning beat journalists, aka "Democrats with bylines," provide such unbalanced reporting on current events on a daily basis.
Fortunately, the Washington Post's Marc Thiessen did the necessary work by rummaging through available information about federal…

On HBO, Maher Panel Slams Scalia, Jokes About His Death
On Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher, left-wing HBO comedian Bill Maher and his all-liberal panel went after deceased conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, as Maher not only joked about the possibility that he died while watching his show, but ended up imagining him "murdering" birds and looking like Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series the evening before his passing.
NYT Pities Dems: GOP Won't 'Even Shake Hands' With Obama's SC Nominee
The New York Times online headline captured the pro-Democrat, anti-GOP tone of the report from David Herszenhorn and Carl Hulse, “Supreme Court Fight Won’t Die, No Matter How Hard Republicans Try.” Another Hulse article described the Democrats' dilemma in pitiable terms: "They were absolutely astonished when Senate Republicans took the power struggle to an entirely new level by announcing that…
Pundit On SCOTUS Vacancy: GOP ‘Taking a S**t on the Constitution’
Scatology has typically been out of bounds in mainstream-media political commentary. (Not in all political commentary, of course. For example, actor John Cusack once called former actor Ronald Reagan “a criminal who used the Constitution as toilet paper.”) Nonetheless, Michael Tomasky went there in a Wednesday column trashing Senate Republicans for refusing to consider any Supreme Court…

CNN's Cuomo Scolds Cuccinelli, GOP Over Refusing Obama Court Nominee
On Thursday's New Day, CNN's Chris Cuomo invoked the Constitution to former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli over Senate Republicans' refusal to consider any potential Supreme Court nominee by President Obama: "The Constitution...[is] about nominating somebody and advise and consent. It's not about delay." Cuomo added, "It would be hard to argue that part of advise and consent is the…

MSNBC: Obama Can ‘Shame’ GOP With ‘Machiavellian’ Court Pick
On her 12 p.m. ET hour MSNBC show on Thursday, host Andrea Mitchell was giddy over reports that President Obama was considering Republican Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval to replace the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court: “...the trial balloon, if you will, that came out of the Obama White House, of nominating a Republican to try to put the Republican Senate on notice, and try to back them…

The Schumer-Biden Test on Judicial Nominations In an Election Year
Everyone knows the meaning of the word "hypocrite" and no one can claim absolute constancy when it comes to living a life consistent with one's stated values. But in this election year, hypocrisy is on full display. It is now being practiced with neither shame nor irony by leading Democrats, who once forcefully argued positions they have now abandoned.
Definitions help focus the mind and so here…
