The pliant media is fast becoming a distant memory. Well perhaps the print media because I cannot say that I paying any attention to the cable channels. I am sure Olbermann et al continue their rah-rah-rah for Obama at full pace.
The Los Angeles Times, however, is not. It is looking at Obama and […]

In this just-released ad, Hillary argues for protecting American jobs that directly impact our nation’s defense — rather than outsourcing to the Chinese:
