Lee Zeldin

NEW YORK – I was a teenager when I first visited New York. The flight cost $15 on the Eastern Airlines Shuttle from Washington, D.C. You could buy your ticket from a flight attendant on board. She (and it was always a she back then) would roll a cart down the aisle with a credit card device on top. New York in the ’60s was THE place to visit. There was Greenwich Village with folk music.…

On Monday's CNN This Morning, co-host Don Lemon tried to undermine Republican complaints about the negative effects of bail reform in New York during an interview with (eventually victorious) Republican congressional candidate Adam Lawler.

Friday on the “big three” network morning shows from ABC, CBS, and NBC, the trio eagerly touted Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement of the handicapped Lt. Gov.

And NBC Nightly News ignored the attack altogether to focus on lost luggage at airports.

Apparently some political violence just isn’t that interesting, at least to the journalists at CBS and MSNBC. On Thursday night, a man with a blade rushed the stage as Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin was speaking in Rochester, New York. The assailant attempted to stab the Republican gubernatorial candidate before being wrestled to the ground.
