Mass Senate: Media Ignore Ed Markey's 'Awful' Debate Performance

If you want to know why Fox News insists on always describing Politico as "the left-wing Politico," here is a perfect example. Last night U.S. Senate candidates Ed Markey and Gabriel Gomez met for their final debate.

Chris Matthews: Lack of Teleprompter 'Ruined' Obama's Berlin Speech

MSNBC's number-one Obama fanboy, Chris Matthews, was obviously disappointed with President Obama's letdown of a speech in Germany Tuesday. Rather than place the blame where it belonged -- on the empty rhetoric, hypocritical platitudes, and crowd 95% smaller than the one Obama captured in '08 as a presidential candidate -- Matthews blamed it on the sun blotting out Obama's teleprompter. by John Nolte 19 Jun 2013

Chuck Todd Rips BuzzFeed for Violating PBS Embargo

BuzzFeed can attempt to rationalize this all they want, or try to paint it as gonzo-badassery, I suppose, but violating an embargo is awfully short-sighted. For a one-day traffic boost, the site has now lost the trust of who knows how many? by John Nolte 18 Jun 2013

Schieffer: Snowden 'No Hero'

"I like people who are willing to stand up to the government. As a reporter, it’s my job to do that from time to time. Some of the people I admire most are in the government. Men and women who led the civil rights movement— Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr.—they are true heroes. I’m not ready to put Edward Snowden in that category.

The people who led the civil rights movement were willing to break the law and suffer the consequences. That’s a little different than putting the nation’s security at risk and running away." by Larry O'Connor 17 Jun 2013
