Fox Still Pushing Discredited Keystone XL Pipeline Jobs Claims Fox anchor Martha MacCallum is clinging to the discredited claim that the Keystone XL pipeline would create at least 20,000 jobs.

Right-Wing Media Accuse Obama Of Making Bin Laden Death All About Himself Immediately following Obama's announcement that Osama bin Laden had been killed in Pakistan, right-wing media took every opportunity to attack the president for his actions and remarks regarding the mission.

Tell the Washington Post: You've Gone Too Far The op-ed pages of WaPost should be a place for serious debate about the direction of our country. But by hiring former Bush administration speechwriter Marc Thiessen -- the second former Bush speechwriter to whom it has given a regular column -- The Washington Post has crossed the line.

How Lou Dobbs scared Rush Limbaugh off the birther story If Limbaugh won't line up on the side of the birthers, than means most AM talkers won't either, which means the birthers are going to be pushed back to the fringes where they belong. And for that, we have Lou Dobbs to thank.

Rove falsely claimed Obama didn't warn economy may get worse Rove: "So what's a president to do when the promises he made about his economic stimulus program fail to materialize? If you're Barack Obama, you redefine your goals and act as if America won't remember what you said originally." Surely Rove had his tongue rammed solidly in his cheek...?
