From Accuracy in Media’s Logan Churchwell: Go ahead, read the headline again. Mine is almost as bizarre as the original Associated Press piece, titled “How is Romney like 007? Both have money offshore.” Giving us yet another example of the AP’s
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie famously recoiled at the connection between the trash-talking denizens of “Jersey Shore” and his home state. But Christie is making sure the Garden State’s own Whitney Houston will be paid the appropriate respect when she’s laid to

When the Democrats aren’t cheating on their taxes like Charlie Rangel or forgetting to pay them like Timothy Geithner, they’re busy lambasting Republicans for actually paying theirs–albeit at a rate unsatisfactory to them. In yet another fantastic display of hypocrisy,
