John Sununu Laughs at Andrea Mitchell Defending Obama's Use of Bogus R
It really has been hysterical watching the Obama-loving media the past few weeks defend the President using bogus information reported by the Washington Post falsely accusing Mitt Romney of outsourcing jobs while at Bain Capital.

Colbertian Studies: WaPo Highlights Academia’s Obsession with Comedi
Observers on the right and left have, for different reasons, long lamented that Comedy Central has become the main source of news for young people. But one group thinks the phenomenon is just fine.

WashPost Poll Story Goes Looking for Pro-Obama Silver Linings
The Washington Post reports on the front page Tuesday that their poll has Obama and Romney dead even at 47 to 47. The chart inside shows that after opening a 51-44 lead in April by the Post's measurement, Obama’s lead has vanished.

Washington Post's Kessler Slams 'Obama's Misleading Tweet on Romney's
The Washington Post's popular Fact Checker political column isn't known for being particularly balanced when it comes to choosing which statements to dissect.

On July 3, @BarackObama tweeted, "FACT: In 2010 and…

WashPost Boosts 'Rainbow Oreo' of Corporate Political Correctness, Moc
On Thursday, The Washington Post’s Dan Zak championed the gay-boosting “Rainbow Oreo” – with Kraft on its Oreo Facebook page sounding the liberal note “Proudly support love!” Zak sold this as a great moment for gays, Big Business, and Obama: “Gays are just as susceptible to clever marketing as straights.

WashPost: New Va. Laws Make State 'Less Hospitable' But New Md. Tax Hi
July 1 is traditionally the day when many new state laws take effect, and every year on or about that date, the Washington Post makes sure to inform its readers of some new laws hitting the books in Maryland and Virginia.

Clinton-appointed Federal Judge Deals Blow to Obama/Holder DOJ
All the attention focused on today's ObamaCare ruling was bound to have some effect in drowning out this news development, but on its own merits, it's certainly one the media would rather ignore anyway. Yesterday, a federal judge -- a Clinton appointee no less -- refused to issue an injunction that would halt Florida's effort to clean up its voter rolls of noncitizens. The Obama/Holder…
WaPo: Dissenting Lefty Nun ‘Part Zen Master, Part Political Tacticia
Liberal media outlets have never met a dissenting Catholic they didn’t like. The flavor of this month – a liberal nun and her publicity tour group for “social justice” – got the requisite puff piece in The Washington Post to complete the adoration heaped on them by CNN, Time, and MSNBC.
In her June 27 article “The Nuns on the Bus tour promotes social justice – and turns a blind eye to the…
