A few Hillary supporters just learned an important lesson about paying attention to your candidate’s policies. Following the announcement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s  tax plan, late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel set out to find whether voters paid any attention to details.

The old journalism adage of “If it bleeds, it leads,” is a well-known one. A modern innovation of that saying, to suit the race-obsessed liberal sports media hell-bent on stoking the flames of racial hatred, might be: “If it’s not bleeding, poke it, and see what happens.” Such a mentality was clearly in use when USA Today writer Jorge Ortiz penned an article titled “Baseball’s culture clash: Vast…

Since the September 16 GOP debate, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts have significantly ramped up their coverage of businesswoman Carly Fiorina, giving her more than 15 percent of the GOP candidates’ airtime over the past two weeks. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush attracted just three percent of TV news coverage; in the first six months of 2015, Bush dominated the coverage with 36 percent…

From its perspective, Planned Parenthood has had another unfortunate week, what with congressional hearings making it hard for the media to keep ignoring the videos showing that the nation’s largest abortion mill sells pieces of the babies it kills. But the unfortunate organization is indeed fortunate in its friends. After Planned Parenthood honcho Cecile Richards testified before Congress on…

Talk about priorities. The broadcast networks have spent more time combined showcasing Cecile Richards’ defense of Planned Parenthood than showing the actual videos themselves. During their news shows, ABC, NBC and CBS aired 3 minutes of footage from a Tuesday congressional hearing where Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards testified in regards to the Center for Medical Progress (CMP)…

Longtime Washington Post book reviewer Michael Dirda broke out the superlatives on Thursday for communist screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, and the Bruce Cook biography that served as the basis for a new Trumbo-glorifying movie starring Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, geopolitically). Dirda oozed “by the time of his death from lung cancer in 1976, Trumbo already seemed half-legend, half-saint: To Cook,…

CNN's Wolf Blitzer hounded Rep. Jason Chaffetz on Wednesday's Situation Room over his hearing on Planned Parenthood's federal funding, and carried water for the abortion giant. Blitzer quibbled over a chart that was used at the hearing that showed the increase in abortions that Planned Parenthood did, and a concurrent decrease in the number of cancer screenings and other preventive services it…

On Wednesday night, Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Howard Kurtz took the Washington Post to task after its “Fact Checker” blog gave Carly Fiorina 3 Pinocchios for her secretary-to-CEO career story, Kelly seemed shocked that the Post would accuse Fiorina of distorting her professional credentials and for the paper to lecture the Republican presidential candidate that “she can’t say she went from…

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday trotted out conspiracy theories in relation to the Benghazi investigation and Hillary Clinton. The anchor interviewed Senator Claire McCaskill, asking, “Was this a case of [Repulicans] actually explaining what the Benghazi Committee is up to?” 

Speaking to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush on Thursday’s Today, NBC’s Matt Lauer did his best to play up Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on his fellow Republican throughout the Republican presidential primary. During the one-on-one interview, Lauer told Bush “your resume and your pedigree are perfect for the job of president” but wondered “after several months in the race, you're losing in the…

Break out the tissues, you’ll be wiping away tears of joy! Everyone’s favorite controversial “feminist” poster child has announced she is leaving Twitter. That’s right you heard correctly, Lena Dunham is off Twitter. Wait, you don’t follow her Twitter account? Well, there’s good news for you too: she also said her vile and largely unwatched HBO show Girls will be coming to an end soon. In a…

Conservative filmmaker Phelim McAleer has a new film challenging Josh Fox and his claims about hydraulic fracturing. McAleer’s GasHoax will be released on October 1, the same day as Fox’s latest short film, GasWork, will be aired on MSNBC. The head-to-head match up is intentional. McAleer said GasWork is “a zero credibility film because it comes from filmmaker Josh Fox who has a history of…

There was Hillary Clinton, telling Al Sharpton of all people that she found Kevin McCarthy's comments about the Benghazi hearings "deeply distressing."   That was too much for the Morning Joe panel, which just had to laugh.  As John Heilemann put it, far from being distressed, Hillary surely sees McCarthy's comments—implying a political motive behind the hearings—as a Christmas and birthday gift…
