Chemical Weapons Attack in Syria Violates Obama's 'Red Line'; NBC, ABC
A chemical attack in Syria that may have killed as many as 1300 people was of little interest to ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday. The network morning show allowed a mere 25 seconds to the large scale gassing. In such a small amount of time, it's not surprising that guest news anchor Amy Robach skipped the salient point that this attack violated the so-called "red line" set out by…

ObamaCare Suffers Another Setback, ABC and NBC Ignore

NBC, CBS Minimize Coverage of Jesse Jackson, Jr. Sentencing; Skip Part

Out of the Habit: Nets Favor Liberal Nuns
The Leadership Conference of Women Religious begins its annual assembly today in Orlando. The group of Catholic nuns from various orders is certain to be considering a response to the Vatican’s finding that LCWR’s liberal activism strays from Church doctrine on a variety of issues.
