Crushing Cruz: The Media’s Worst Attacks on the Texas Senator
For the liberal media there might not be a greater hate object than Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

After a commercial break, Scarborough hectored Rick Santorum, who has just…
CNN’s Borger: Town Hall ‘Lifted the Veil’ on Hillary’s ‘Humility'
CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger received the first chance to comment on CNN’s Democratic Presidential Town Hall on the late Wednesday edition of CNN Tonight and used the chance to proclaim how a question on ego and humility “lifted the veil on Hillary Clinton” and made for “a very telling moment for me to watch her” discuss being around the “natural” political talent of husband Bill…
Barely News: Big-Rig Orders Are in a Steep, Year-Long Decline
One of the economy's more important bellwethers has been on a steep year-long decline which shows no signs of abating this year. It's barely news, and much of the sparse reporting seen has been incomplete and sloppy.

Town Hall Attendee Asks Hillary How She Stops 'Right-Wing Attacks'
Hillary Clinton faced one of the biggest softballs of the campaign yet on Wednesday night when a questioner at CNN’s Democratic Presidential Town Hall wondered about how she will “defend” herself “against right-wing attacks” “[o]nce you become the nominee and elected.” In a follow-up, moderator Anderson Cooper teed her up by wondering if she “still believe[s] there’s vast right-wing conspiracy”…

ABC, NBC Cheer Trump Attacking Cruz over Carson Rumors
The networks continued to act as promoters of Donald Trump on Wednesday as ABC’s World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News devoted over six minutes to Trump accusing Ted Cruz of “stealing” the Iowa caucuses while the CBS Evening News spent only 35 seconds on Trump and Ben Carson lashing out at Cruz.

Touchy Hillary Spox Won't Say She's a 'Liberal'
