Nets Rush to Deem Garland a 'Moderate,' ABC, NBC Avoid Liberal Label

In the first 24 hours after Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, the big three networks spun the judge as a “moderate” or “centrist” as opposed to a “liberal.” ABC and NBC reporters never called him a liberal, while CBS correspondents used the word just twice (opting for “moderate liberal” twice more).

Rerun: ‘Real O’Neals’ Not First Anti-Catholic Show ABC’s Kept Alive

ABC is repeating a failed endeavor. Ratings for The Real O’Neals continue to sink, but that won’t stop the network from keeping the pointedly anti-Catholic show alive as long as it can. And we’ve seen this movie (or series) before, back in the 90s when ABC developed, debuted and kept a show called Nothing Sacred on life support over Catholic and Christian objection.

AP: 17 Year-old Shot by Police, in U.S. For 12 Years, Is a 'Refugee'

Most readers here are by now painfully familiar with how miserable mainstream media reporting on police shootings of criminals can be. That said, the Associated Press's headline writers and reporter Lindsay Whitehurst have lowered the bar even further in their coverage of the shooting of a 17 year-old who was beating a man "near a homeless shelter" in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Desperate for Millennial Votes, Clinton Guest Stars on Raunchy Sitcom

How do you make a raunchy show that features pegging and bestiality as major plot points even more offensive? Have Clinton guest star. No, not the alleged rapist and serial philanderer, Bill Clinton, but the one who stood by him all these years and is now running for president.

As Income Gains Almost Evaporate, AP Is Rooting For Higher Inflation

The government's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today that consumer prices fell 0.2 percent in February. Lower prices should be good news, right? Wrong, at least according to Martin Crutsinger at the Associated Press. Crutsinger's Wednesday dispatch also managed to ignore the fact that even the supposedly low inflation seen during the past 12 months has eaten up most of workers' very…

CNN: 'Hillary Can't Kill Coal; It's Already Dying' (Because of Obama)

In a Monday afternoon post which gets close to taking pleasure in the serious economic decline in the heart of the coal mining industry in West Virginia, CNN Money's Patrick Gillespie observed, based on Hillary Clinton's recent remarks about coal miners' jobs, that she "has no love for coal companies." But in Gillespie's world, what Mrs. Clinton said doesn't matter, because "Clinton won't have…
