On Tuesday's Hardball, Chris Matthews reiterated his view that Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) would be a good crossing-the-aisle pick to be Hillary's vice presidential running mate. "Hey, I've talked about him being on the ticket with Hillary. So I do like Kasich. I'm not sure how the hell he fits into your party anymore. I wonder if your party has room for a moderate like Kasich anymore. I just…

Ronald Reagan’s admirers called him the Great Communicator, but to his detractors he was more like the Great Demonizer, crystallizing hostility toward groups ranging from the poor to left-wing protesters at UC Berkeley. In a Sunday post, Esquire's Pierce argued that Donald Trump has a similar talent for focusing outrage, and because of it, he’s attracting the same kind of supporters that Reagan…

On Tuesday night, the CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News , Noticiero Telemundo, and Noticiero Univision saw no reason to inform their viewers that a federal judge ruled hours earlier that State Department officials and aides to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can be questioned under oath about their knowledge and role in Clinton’s private e-mail scandal.

Univision is openly cheering for an initiative underway that is aimed at completely changing the electoral process in New York City.

Let he who is without sin . . .  throw the first punch? Today's With All Due Respect rapped the MSM for its extensive coverage of Donald Trump having said of an unruly protester "[I'd] like to punch him in the face." Lamented John Heilemann: "cable news is so often so crazily dumb."  Just one problem. Before Heilemann and Halperin bemoaned the MSM's excessive coverage of the line . . . they…

I don't believe I've ever presumed to offer unsolicited advice on campaign strategy to a presidential candidate, especially in a public forum, but I've decided to make an exception today. I am an unabashed Ted Cruz supporter and believe he is a man of character, integrity and strong principles who is as close to the ideal antidote for what ails America as we're likely to see. But since the Iowa…

Two important economic reports came out today at 10 a.m. One had relatively good news, while the other was a definite downer. At 2:43 p.m., the good-news item was still listed second at the Associated Press's list of Top 10 business stories, while the bad-news item was gone. That's all in a day's work of news manipulation at what should be called the Administration's Press. (UPDATE: At 9:12 p.m…

They say "honesty is the best policy" but apparently Democratic presidential candidate frontrunner Hilary Clinton didn’t get that memo either.  Nevertheless, comedian Stephen Colbert tried passing along the message to her this past Friday on The Late Show when he joked, “lying should be the easiest part of campaigning,” reacting to the cringe-worthy, face-palm inducing statement the former…

Talking to Republican Colorado Senator Cory Gardner during her MSNBC show on Tuesday, host Andrea Mitchell lectured the GOP lawmaker on opposing President Obama’s plan to shut down Guantanamo Bay and bring terrorist detainees to prisons inside the United States: “So we’re holding prisoners, paying for them, and arguably hurting our standing in the world because Guantanamo has become such a red…

Illegal immigration (i.e., amnesty) is perhaps the most shameless slanted area of coverage in the New York Times, and on Tuesday reporter Nick Corasaniti did his duty, filing a 1,500-word profile of Univision and its provocative, activist, heavily biased chief news anchor Jorge Ramos, talking about his network’s new (Democratic) voting drive: “Univision Aims to Make the Hispanic Voting Bloc Even…

One day after hyping the “re-energized” Hillary Clinton and her “impregnable lead” on Democrat Bernie Sanders, the networks switched focus and similarly touted Donald Trump’s “unstoppable” momentum in the Republican primaries. CBS This Morning co-host Charlie Rose wondered, “But is Trump becoming unstoppable and therefore the party either does something now or it's too late?”

CNN's Alisyn Camerota, on Tuesday's New Day, accused Donald Trump of "making people feel violently against the press." Camerota spotlighted how a Trump supporter blasted NBC's Katy Tur as a "bitch" at a recent campaign rally, and asked former Reagan adviser Jeffrey Lord: "Isn't this dangerous on some level?" When Lord underlined that "people feel that the media distorts" and "portray Trump…

Presidential candidate Donald Trump promised, "I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created." To assist in accomplishing that goal he has vowed to impose a 35 percent tariff on imported Ford vehicles from Mexico. More recently, he threatened to impose tariffs on Carrier air conditioners because its parent company, United Technologies Corp., announced plans to move to Mexico. Trump…

On Monday, Charlie Rose used the insulting term “climate deniers” as a way to describe those who dare express any sort of skepticism of climate change propaganda. He asked, on his PBS show, if “climate deniers” have “gained strength?” Bill Gates responded that “the problem of climate denial is not a huge problem outside of the United States.”
