JFK and Mitt: The Media’s Double Standard on Faith

Romney Olympic Truth-telling Draws WashPost's 'Worst Week in Washingto
"Someone should have told Mitt Romney that they still speak English in England," snarked Washington Post political reporter Chris Cillizza as he awarded Romney the "Worst Week In Washington" on Sunday for calmly laying out security concerns to NBC before the London Olympics -- concerns the networks themselves reported beforehand.
That matches the attitude that political reporter Philip Rucker…
George Will and Dana Loesch School Donna Brazile and Ruth Marcus on Ob
For the past two weeks Barack Obama's media minions have been working overtime trying to convince the American people the President was taken out of context during his now infamous "You Didn't Build That" speech in Roanoke, Virginia.

Krauthammer Schools Entire 'Inside Washington' Panel on 'The Cowardice

WashPost Carefully Edits the Anti-Catholic AIDS Protester 'Sister Vici
The Washington Post is watering down the incivility and radicalism of AIDS activists at the International AIDS Conference in Washington. A prominent picture on page A-4 carries the caption “Ken Bunch, known as Sister Vicious, left, and Tracy Skinner, aka Sister Loosey, at the conference."
The Post did not explain these pseudo-nuns were members of the Catholic-mocking “Sisters of Perpetual…
WashPost Columnist Kelly: Make Gun Purchasers Get a 'Co-Signer' to Vou
Updated below: Kelly replies via Twitter.
Washington Post Metro columnist John Kelly usually avoids controversial political subjects and often does "answer man" features about local D.C.-area history, making his feature overall an enjoyable read. But from time to time Kelly works in his liberal bias, just as when he bashed conservative talk show hosts as "right-wing nutjobs" and when he…
Washington Express Publishes Misleading Ad by Dissident Catholic Group
The Washington Post’s fact checkers must be too busy chasing down emotionally scarred seventh grade classmates of Mitt Romney to look at ads the company accepts.

Romney simply told the Olympic athletes – many…
WashPost Publishes Pro-Gun Control Letter to Editor That's Predicated
Updated (see bottom of post) | Today's Letters to the Editor section of the Washington Post contains five letters on the topic of gun control, three oriented towards more gun control and two expressing a pro-gun rights/enforce-the-laws-on-the-books position.
But one letter in particular is egregious as it contains a huge factual error that Post editors failed to correct: that President Obama…
