November 6th, 2017 4:08 PM
At CNN, disgraceful journalism has become so routine that we now expect it to be the rule rather the exception. Even in that context, Daniel Shane's claim at the networks CNNMoney website, manufactured with selective editing, that President Donald Trump doesn't know that Japanese companies already build cars in the U.S., is especially risible.

WashPost Finds No News in Anti-Kaine Protest at His Catholic Church
August 29th, 2016 7:07 AM
One of the "Most Read" articles on The Washington Post website is an Aaron Blake story headlined "Donald Trump has a massive Catholic problem." He's losing to Hillary Clinton among (self-professed) Catholics by 27 in an ABC-Post poll. Here's one reason: the Post hasn't written about Sunday's protest outside Tim Kaine's Catholic church in Richmond calling him a Catholic In Name Only.

April 9th, 2015 6:57 AM
Much like playground bullies, it does not take long for the liberal media to poke fun at the family members of candidates they don’t like – Republican candidates.

March 27th, 2015 12:03 PM
Washington Post political reporter Aaron Blake picked up on the Hillary Clinton "Super Volunteers" badgering New York Times reporter Amy Chozick about the 13 words you can't use to describe Hillary because it's coded sexism.

ABC Skips, WashPost Downplays Majority Defines Obama a 'Failure'
September 15th, 2014 8:17 AM
When a Washington Post-ABC News poll ends up finding the "Best News for Republicans," the Post tries to find other findings to highlight in their headlines.
