Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto has been a persistent critic of "nonpartisan" fact-checking websites run by liberal-media veterans.

With Halloween just a few short days away, and Election Day 12 days away, NBC Nightly News thought it would be fun to show off of a series of “spooky” house decorations.

And it is giving a whole new meaning to election scare tactics,” joked NBC Anchor Lester Holt. But…

NPR’s media correspondent David Folkenflik loves to report negative stories about Fox News, over and over again.
