WashPost 'Conservatives' Slam Ted Cruz Wing of GOP: 'Too Much Clarity'

Bozell & Graham Column on the Worst of 2014: 'Victory for the Haters'

On Monday’s NBC Nightly News, correspondent and MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell felt that it was appropriate to skewer three possible GOP presidential contenders in 2016 who had each run previously to argue that their presence would make possible fellow candidates Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush “look positively new.”

Chuck Todd Defends Hillary From Claims She Can't Connect With Public
On Sunday’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd, NBC News Political Director, once again played the role of Hillary Clinton apologist as he defended the former Secretary of State from suggestions that she doesn't understand the challenges facing the average American. Speaking to his panel, Todd argued that Hillary’s inability to connect with voters was “not necessarily her fault. I mean, she's had Secret…
Professor: Righty Hillary Biographers ‘Shrill...Caught in Her Grip'

It’s under a story titled “462,000 choose health plans as enrollment begins.” Talk about trying to hide your light under a…

Sometimes, one has to remember that op-ed writers don't always get to pick their headlines, though I would hope that they're allowed to register their objections. So it's not clear that Los Angeles Times guest blogger Joel Silberman is responsible for the headline at his Monday blog post about how, or even whether, to deal with relatives who disagree with you politically on Thanksgiving.
