Harry Potter Says ‘Right-Wing’ ‘Patriotism’ Leads To Terrorism

Daily Show Asks, ‘Did Hillary Tell the Truth About Anything?!’
On Wednesday night’s Daily Show, host Trevor Noah surprisingly went after Hillary Clinton and her trustworthiness, calling her “Grandma Nixon.” He explained how the FBI had recommended not prosecuting her “despite the fact that just about everything she told us about it for the past year has been a lie.” He showed this with an MSNBC montage of every lie Clinton told about sending classified…
Heilemann: ‘Highly Implausible’ GOP Competent Enough to Hold Hearing

ABC, NBC Tout Hillary’s Rallies at Closed Casinos, Ignore Poor Economy
Hillary Clinton’s campaign took a trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey Wednesday to slam Donald Trump for shutting down two of his casinos there.

Lefty Pundit: ‘Ridiculous’ to Wonder Why Hillary Wasn’t Charged
It was “friggin’ obvious” that Hillary Clinton wasn’t going to face criminal charges related to her private email server, and the media dropped the ball by not making that clear, argued Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Marshall in a Tuesday post. “Given what we knew, criminal charges weren't even in the realm of reasonable consideration,” he stated. “You could find this out with just a…

AP: Thanks Only to U.S., UK's 'Leave' Vote Won't Lead to Its 'Demise'
Saturday at the Associated Press, aka the Admininstration's Press, Josh Lederman ran interference for President Barack Obama's conveniently timed Brexit vote flip-flop.

Randi Rhodes Return to Airwaves, Just in Time to Slam Hillary Again
Talk about timing -- a liberal radio host arguably best known for once labeling Hillary Clinton "a big f***ing whore" relaunches her show on the same day Clinton dodges prosecution after putting national security at risk through the use of private, vulnerable email servers while secretary of state.
If you remember Randi Rhodes, most likely it's for vilifying Clinton (and Geraldine Ferraro, the…

Gay Character on ABC Show: Marriage Is ‘Why God Invented Divorce'
Last year, ABC’s Mistresses tried to be all “edgy” with a storyline involving throuples and polyamory. This year they’ve followed the trans trend - with a bonus knock on Christian conservatives thrown in for good measure.
Shock: AP Spotlights 'Collapse' of Hillary Clinton's E-Mail Excuses
Stephen Braun and Jack Gillum touted how "key assertions by Hillary Clinton in defense of her email practices have collapsed under FBI scrutiny" in a Tuesday "fact check" for the Associated Press.

Mitchell Is Still Fretting Over Hillary's Week Being Muddied by FBI
Despite covering both Hillary Clinton’s Tuesday rally with President Obama and her Wednesday speech in Atlantic City, NBC News correspondent/MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell and her colleagues were still harping Wednesday afternoon on their narrative that FBI Director James Comey’s announcement has “overshadowed” Clinton’s campaign and what “was supposed to be a triumphant week.”
