September 3rd, 2013 5:25 PM
Tuesday's CBS This Morning spotlighted the upcoming one-year anniversary of the Islamist attack on the U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, but whitewashed the role of President Obama and his administration, including that of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

August 26th, 2013 6:02 PM
"With all the talk that took place" during the Bush administration "on Iraq about the need for congressional approval, before there was a military strike, have you heard anyone in the media question how unilaterally Barack Obama can decide to send us to war [in Syria] without congressional approval?"

Following Syria's Devastating Chemical Weapons Attack, Will Media Reme
August 26th, 2013 12:57 PM
Even though it's August of 2013, Hillary Clinton's possible 2016 presidential bid has already been heavily hyped by journalists. Yet, it seems that these same reporters aren't interested in exploring aspects of Clinton's job as Secretary of State. One such comment not getting attention is her 2011 labeling of Bashar al-Assad, the man almost certainly behind a devastating chemical weapons attack…
Camille Paglia: 'Hillary Disqualified Herself for Presidency in Fist-P

August 20th, 2013 4:36 PM
On Monday's Morning Edition on NPR, Cokie Roberts did little to hide her feelings about the Republican National Committee's recent decision to exclude NBC and CNN from hosting future debates between would-be GOP presidential candidates.

August 18th, 2013 1:53 PM
The liberal media sure love Hillary Clinton, but possibly not as much as they adore Barack Obama.
Such was witnessed on Meet the Press Sunday when NBC's chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd expressed regret that the former Secretary of State has apparently started her 2016 campaign already saying, "This hurts the current president of the United States as trying to be leader of the…

August 17th, 2013 1:23 PM
With all the stink caused by CNN and NBC's planned programs about Hillary Clinton, you'd think other networks might shy away from such projects.
Not CBS who according to The Wrap is developing a new series about a - wait for it! - female secretary of state executive produced by the perilously liberal Morgan Freeman.
