WaPo's Milbank: GOP Iran Letter 'Unprecedented' by Number of Signers

Liberal journalists have come up with an unconvincing new spin on how the open letter signed by 47 Senate Republicans to the leaders of Iran is "unprecedented." It's because 47 politicians signed it. So every time Sen. Tom Cotton talked another colleague into signing on to this letter, he was multiplying the "unprecedented" argument used by Democrats and their "objective" media enablers.…

Hillary's E-Mail Press Conference Inspires Comedy

One fringe benefit, from an entertainment POV,  of the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal is the comedy it is inspiring. Last Saturday, SNL presented Katie McKinnon performing an hilarious sketch of Hillary discussing her e-mail. Hillary's e-mail press conference at the United Nations on Tuesday, has inspired yet more comedy on YouTube.

CBS Spotlights V.A.'s 'Overstated' Improvements; ABC, NBC Ignore

CBS Evening News was the sole Big Three evening newscast on Friday to cover President Obama's visit to the V.A. hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, where "some vets died before they got treatment, and hospital officials hid those long delays on secret wait lists," as Scott Pelley put it. The CBS program also touted a veteran who poured cold water on the Obama administration's claim that appointment…

AP Touts High Jan., Feb. Consumer Confidence, Ignores Sharp March Drop

The Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, is hard at work putting a brave face on a shaky economy. Just one example: On Thursday, after February consumer spending fell sharply for the third straight month, the wire service's Christopher Rugaber reported that "Freezing temperatures and snowstorms likely weighed on sales in February," and that "steep drops in gas prices dragged down…

NPR Anchor Roasts Sen. Flake With Biden's Critique of GOP Iran Letter

On Tuesday's All Things Considered, NPR White House correspondent Scott Horsley gave Sen. Tom Cotton just 26 words to express a conservative view: "The point we're making to Iran's leaders is that if Congress doesn't approve a deal, Congress won't accept a deal, now or in the future." NPR was more interested in plumbing the small minority of Republicans who did not sign the open letter to…

Hillary's Matter of Convenience

Hillary Clinton finally met with reporters at the UN Tuesday to explain why she used a personal email account for the vast majority of her communications as secretary of state. The problem for any public figure attempting to testify to their innocence is that one's believability is directly tied to the public's perception of one's character. Like a bad case of the winter flu, character is…

Imagine If Obama Were In Churchill's or Reagan's Shoes

Everyone says President Obama is a feckless commander, weak in statecraft, especially compared to the great leaders of the Western world, such as Reagan and Churchill.  I believe this does Obama a great injustice. It's so easy to react the way a great leader would. Sure, Obama could have left a small contingent of American troops in Iraq, preserved America's victory, and prevented the entire…

NBC's Mitchell Helps Psaki Blast GOP's 'Unprecedented' Letter to Iran

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell deferred to State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki on the Friday edition of her program, and let the Obama administration flack attack the 47 Republican senators who signed an open letter to Iran's leaders. Mitchell led into the segment by playing President Obama's condescending "I'm embarrassed for them" and "it's close to unprecedented" shots at the senators, and gave…
