January 27th, 2016 3:39 PM
If you only read establishment press reports, you might (finally) know about the "unexpectedly" competitive race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, but you would have no sense of the deep concern within the left's ranks about their unsavory choices.
Card-carrying lefty Dana Milbank, from his perch at the Washington Post, laid that near-panic bare in his Tuesday evening column.…

Some things are unstoppable – even in the face of a blizzard. Friday’s 2016 March for Life took place in Washington, D.C. on the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. But The Washington Post described what it called “thousands” of Americans marching together for the nearly 60 million babies destroyed by abortion as “small.” That report sparked an…
Rubio Gets 'Pants on Fire' For Pegging Reagan's Iran Hostage Influence
January 20th, 2016 12:46 AM
Politifact, the leftist propaganda mill disguised as a "fact-checking" web site, always has its "Pants on Fire" matches at the ready for conservatives and Republicans. This is remarkable, given that it has never given any Hillary Clinton statement or campaign assertion a "Pants on Fire" evaluation. The one example it cites falsely claims to "involve" her, but has nothing to do with anything she…
AP Fails to Report: 93 Pct. of U.S. Counties Haven't Fully Recovered

On Wednesday, Amber Phillips at the Washington Post's The Fix blog impressively took President Obama to task for his over-the-top bragging about the nation's mediocre (and likely getting worse) economy.

WashPost Boosts Left-Wing 'White Privilege' Theory on Race
January 18th, 2016 12:59 PM
The Washington Post's Christine Emba and Karen Attiah promoted the leftist race theory of "white privilege" in a Saturday video posted on the newspaper's website. The two op-ed writers blamed "white privilege" for the hands-off approach to the occupation of the federal wildlife refuge in Oregon: "White privilege means being able to take over a federal building; to be armed to the teeth; and to…

During an interview with host Brian Lamb Saturday evening on the C-SPAN cable TV channel, Martin Baron – who has been the executive editor of the Washington Post newspaper since January of 2013 – stated what many liberals and Democrats are afraid to admit: Rush Limbaugh should now be considered part of the “mainstream media.”
His reason for this claim during that edition of the Q&A program?…

In a pretty naked attempt to land thousands of additional clients and exponentially increase the size of his clientele base, sports agent Donald Yee, who is also a lawyer and represents such notables as New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady and New Orleans Saints Quarterback Drew Brees, took to the pages of The Washington Post where he completed the liberal hat-trick by using the race card,…

Appearing as a guest on Sunday's Reliable Sources on CNN to discuss CNN's town hall on guns with President Barack Obama, Washington Post media columnist Erik Wemple derided the National Rifle Association as "utterly cowardly" for refusing to take part.
Fellow guest and right-leaning CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp then argued that the NRA had "no incentive" to attend because the President…
Former Consumer Product Czar in WashPost: Regulate Bullets

January 7th, 2016 2:19 PM
Ann Brown thinks you’re stupid, and that’s not just because she’s a former chairman of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (motto: “Saving American from Themselves for More Than 40 Years.”) No, it’s because even though you reject liberal gun control measures, she’s sure you’d be A-okay with liberal bullet control measures.
Writing in The Washington Post January 6, Brown called for the…
Zakaria: 'Self-Destructive Whites' Explain Trump's Front-Runner Status
January 3rd, 2016 12:46 PM
In his most recent Washington Post column, Fareed Zakaria, who also works at CNN, told readers that "working-class whites" can no longer handle the fact that they're not an "elite group" any more, and that this loss of status explains an alarming increase in suicide in their ranks. Supposedly, these people support Donald Trump because his "Making America Great Again" is about putting them back on…

WashPost: Putting Black Opponent in Darker Light in TV Ads Is Racist
January 2nd, 2016 11:58 PM
A time-honored tactic in political TV ads is to use contrasting degrees of photographic exposure, one bright and snappy for your candidate and a darker hue, sometimes even going to old-fashioned black-and-white, for your opponent.
On December 29, at the Washington Post's Wonkblog, Max Ehrenfreund cited a conveniently timed "study" which looked at 2008 ads produced by and on behalf of GOP…
Unreported: Capitalism Explains Sharp Decline in World Poverty
December 31st, 2015 12:47 PM
In September, President Barack Obama "committed the U.S. to a new blueprint to eliminate poverty and hunger around the world" in a speech at a United Nations "global summit."

WSJ and WashPost's Marcus Agree: Bill Clinton's History Is 'Fair Game'
December 29th, 2015 11:46 PM
Just one week after CNN's Don Lemon shut down a guest who dared to raise the issue, there is now an agreement across the ideological spectrum that if Hillary Clinton is going to use her husband Bill as a campaign surrogate and go after her opponents' real or imagined sexism, then, as the headline at liberal Ruth Marcus's Monday evening Washington Post column says, "Bill Clinton's sordid sexual…
