The Washington Post seems a tad uncomfortable admitting that left-wingery, in the form of gun-grabbing, might have back-fired in ways that could only surprise effete, left-wing, Blue State-dwelling metrosexuals. Gun control debate may be driving higher sales LAS VEGAS — The United States
New Jersey governor Chris Christie slams the NRA, and the media cheers. Christie slams House Speaker John Boehner for not putting a pork-laden Hurricane Sandy Relief Bill up for a vote, and the media cheers. Christie undermines the Republican nominee

Here’s a piece of video that’s already gone viral. But clips of the “objective” media hammering Republicans who oppose Obama usually do. Here’s Wolf — The Left-Wing Talking Point Robot — Blitzer in fine form as he passive-aggressively berates Steve Toth, a Republican

It’s not your business model that sucks; it’s you that sucks. — Andrew Breitbart Just as we saw last week at the New York Times and Time Magazine, the mainstream media’s pro-Obama chickens are finally coming home to roost. The
On one hand you have to tell yourself Jeff Zucker did hire Jake Tapper and did fire Frank Cafferty. You also have to wonder what else Zucker could’ve possibly said in this situation. But if this reflects Zucker’s honest sentiment
