This week, the Supreme Court heard arguments over a potential blockbuster Second Amendment case, one in which the conservative majority appeared poised to overturn New York (and other states) restrictions on who can get a concealed carry permit.

COLD SHOULDER: ABC, CBS Exclude Scientists Critical of Global Warming
March 6th, 2014 3:47 PM
Like a simple parlor trick, the networks are able to make skeptical scientists vanish, at least from the eyes of their viewers.

'Face the Nation' Spends 30 Minutes on Gay NBA Player, Still No Mentio
May 5th, 2013 4:13 PM
Does the outing of a previously almost unknown basketball player really deserve a half hour's coverage on a broadcast television Sunday political talk show?
