Ferocious With Ryan, Media Fall Flat on Elizabeth Warren’s False Fac
For six days and counting (including this morning), the broadcast networks entertained the idea that Paul Ryan was lying in his convention speech last week. Yet the problem for journalists was that Ryan’s speech was accurate, even if they didn’t like the implications. NBC’s Chuck Todd on Thursday evening’s Nightly News, for example, even conceded that “what he [Ryan] said many times was…

In his weekend syndicated column, Deroy Murdock unearthed and relayed information the establishment press hasn't told the nation about how certain public-sector pension funds and university endowments have chosen to invest money entrusted to them in Bain Capital. Yes, Bain Capital.

Colby King: GOP Only Has Blacks at Conventions to Sing 'God Bless Amer
After Yahoo's Washington bureau chief was fired Wednesday for saying the Romneys are "happy to have a party with black people drowning," you would think media members would be more careful accusing Republicans of racism.

Liberal Bloggers: Republicans 'Condone Rape,' Are 'Making Sure Rapists
You'd think an image of a man violently covering a frightened woman's mouth, accompanied with the words, "He’s decided to become a father…right-wing Republicans want to make sure he does", would be considered mildly extreme, right?
Not extreme enough for Huffington Post contributor and pro-Obama blogger, Erin Kotecki Vest, who posted the image to her Facebook page.

Both CNN and Fox News Channel carried the…

NBC's Todd and Brokaw: Romney Looking 'Backwards' to Less 'Inclusive

In New York Times, Adam Nagourney Ponders Whether Paul Ryan's Speech C
Leave it to former New York Times political correspondent (now Los Angeles bureau chief) Adam Nagourney to find bad news for Romney in his running mate's Paul Ryan's rapturously received convention speech.

CBS Trumpets Obama's Lead Among Women, Silent on Romney's Lead With Me
CBS News has talked quite about their latest poll released Tuesday, especially how Mitt Romney is trailing Barack Obama by 10 points among women voters -- bad news for the Republican, of course.

How come no discussion of how poorly…
