Salon: In the Tea Party 'Dunce-off,' Rand Paul Attracts Bigots, While
Digby is far from the biggest name in the left-wing blogosphere, but she's one of its most influential figures. Lefty bloggers often introduce links to posts on her site, Hullabaloo, with the phrase "what Digby said" (it's sort of their equivalent of "megadittoes").
On Monday morning, Digby published a piece in a higher-profile outlet, the liberal online magazine Salon, in which she…

Daily Beast Reporter Slams Family Research Council for Using Term 'Nat
One of the big steps in winning a social or political battle these days is defining the terms to be used in the debate. Remember how an “unborn child” became an antiseptic “fetus” during the start of the abortion debate? And how left-wingers now call themselves “progressives” since George H. W. Bush turned “liberal” into a slur during his 1988 presidential campaign?
According to a Thursday…
AP ‘Corrects’ Abortion ‘Satanist’ Story; Cruz, SBA React
Being a liberal press outlet may mean never having to say you’re sorry, but sometimes, you do have to print a “correction.”

AP, Dallas News, WashPo, etc., Lie About Ted Cruz’ Abortion Statemen
You’d think conservatives Ted Cruz and Mike Lee are outspoken enough without liberal media sources having to lie about their words. But you’d be underestimating the unscrupulous partisanship of political “journalists."
Case in point: the dishonest reporting of the comments from both GOP senators at the Susan B. Anthony Campaign for Life Summit in Washington, D.C. on March 12. An AP report…
Weekend MSNBC Panel Bashes Sen. Cruz: ‘Aren’t We Past' Opposing Ob

CNN’s Candy Crowley Invokes ‘The Sound of Music’: ‘How Do You
