Goo-Goo: Luke Russert Decries Simpson-Bowles Defeat
Simpson-Bowles would have: raised taxes by $1.2 trillion--bumping to 21% the tax share of GDP from the typical 18%; relied largely on defense cuts to reduce spending; retained all $2.5 trillion in ObamaCare spending and done nothing to reform Medicare and Medicaid. No wonder Luke Russert loved it.
Appearing on Chuck Todd's Daily Rundown on MSNBC today, NBC congressional correspondent…

NBC's Chuck Todd: Media Bias Isn't Liberal, It's Geographic, a New Yor
NBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd gave an interview to Dylan Byers of Politico where he suggested the media's coverage of politics is often wrong: "we incorrectly cover American politics 60 percent of the time."

Study: Big Three Spin Religious Liberty Scandal as Political 'Firestor
When ABC, CBS, and NBC finally got around to covering -- after two weeks of silence -- the controversy over the Obama administration's mandate that religious institutions provide health insurance for abortifacients, sterilization, and birth control, the networks downplayed the religious freedom component to the story, casting it instead as a political dogfight between liberals and conservatives…
Todd Disses Santorum--But Fails To Ding Dunn On Hedge Fund Hypocrisy
His show's called The Daily Rundown. And sure enough, Chuck Todd ran down Rick Santorum this morning as just another "flavor of the day" who "probably won't be the nominee."

Mika Brzezinski's Valentine's Day Gift: Kisses for Obama's Debt Explod
