| By tomorrow night we’ll likely know the name of the next president. But we already know the loser in this election cycle: political reporters. They’ve disgraced themselves. Conservatives have long complained about liberal bias in the media, and with some justification. But it has finally reached the tipping point. Not in our lifetimes have so many in the press dropped the pretense of objectivity in order to help a political candidate. The media are rooting for Barack Obama. They’re not hiding it. Consider Benghazi. An American consulate is destroyed and a US ambassador murdered at a time when the president

Haven't watched the alphabet news since they tried to stonewall the Lewinsky scandal by discrediting Drudge and haven't subscribed to a newspaper in decades. Haven't missed them and won't miss them. May their revenues fade away to nothing!

This column in the Daily Caller speaks for most thinking Americans. The corrupt-leftist-media is beyond contempt. They make a mockery out of "freedom of the press" by propping up with their lies, the most anti-American "president" in the history of this Country. Sickening.

MSM (or as Sarah Palin says, LSM) journalism is dead.
It does not even deserve a respectful burial.

There are a handful of good old fashioned news professionals in the otherwise corrupt news media like Jake Tapper and Sheryl Attkisson. I just don't understand how/why they remain there among all those Brian Williams' and George Streptococci.

I have said all along that the stimulus money paid off the media. They have very few viewers and very few subscriptions to the newspaper. How are they staying afloat otherwise? Obama gave them stimulus money. Thus, Obama news all the time. They are so corrupt, all of them. I never watch the networks for anything. We don't take the newspaper. However, I am very informed. I get my news from the Internet. I know I am not alone in this. Obama is a liar and a thief.

Due to the coming election, I watched the Sunday news programs on the alphabet networks. Typical panels were 4 or 5 to 1 in favor of liberals. Plus, they asked the liberals each to speak first and then gave the token conservative a few moments to counter. The libs were all in happy, smug agreement that Obama and all the Democrat senate candidates were shoe-ins to win.

I can't help but wonder what the late Tim Russert would have thought of all this. He was a good newsman, and an honorable liberal. Sharyl Atkinson and Jake Tapper are sadly, the exception. Reporters who try to find out the truth.

I have trouble believing as so many are saying that this election is close but even if it is a landslide for Romney it is still downright scary that Obama will get even 40% of the vote. There are legions of citizens who don't know anything about what is going on and will believe the outright lies Obama and his media hacks tell. The corrupt propagandistic media has succeeded in making a pack of lies believed. They may have a setback but they will keep trying.

The corrupt media will still be there on November 7. They will either be propping up the obama regime or trying to destroy the incoming Romney. And NOTHING will have changed in that arena. It is not as though the media serve the people or truth and they are really never held accountable.

ABC, NBC, CBS, have no place in my home and haven't in three years. No newspaper darkens my door. I search for my news on the Internet. I can find the truth there with little effort. FOX NEws is the only channel I watch on TV. Now somehow we need to find a way to enable those who are not able to afford additional channels to be able to have Fox News in their homes . Part of the reason we are in this situation is a huge number of Americans only news source is the MSM. They have had no balance to help them make wise decisions. Goodbye with no regrets!

Unfortunately, the corrupt media are like viruses. You can never really get rid if them. They just keep hanging on even though you try to starve them out of existence by dropping your subscription or never watching their channel. Somehow they eke out an existence and then go into full eruption when a Republican gets elected.
I guarantee that once President Romney is in office, their curiosity and their investigative interest will once again be rediscovered.

# 2 - I wouldn't hold my breathe on that. As far as settling scores goes - I'm just afraid that if the powers that be FINALLY go after Obama over Benghazi - that the new president will pardon his actions.
Don't worry. Of course I'm voting for him - Romney that is. But I'm bracing for a white wash assisted by Romney of the Obama years. In the name of "let's move on" of course.

IMO. the left media have destroyed themselves on the altar of socialism and elite-ism. Who reads that junk anymore? The hardcore ex-hippie Maoist? A minority to be respected for its tenacity. But, like once dangerous Spartans in the Roman era, they are really not taken seriously anymore. We watch people like bob Beckle and Juan Willams make complete fools of themselves every week trying to justify the implausible positions of their lords like the hollow shirt Øbama. No normal thinking individual could possibly swallow their arguments as plausible or logical in any sense. Yet, the media keep right on selling those invisible beans.

The framers of the Constitution specifically mentioned freedom of the press because it never occurred to them that the press would become a propaganda arm of the government; such a condition was simply outside their collective experience. They believed a free press would act as a watchdog and bark at laws and actions that violated the Constitution.
The watchdog is now a lapdog and a rabid one at that, snarling and foaming at the mouth at anyone who questions the imposition of undiluted socialism.

The mainstream media have become largely irrelevant and if Romney wins they will be toast. Not because Romney will punish them (he won't), but because they will be left with the realization that they couldn't pull it off.

One would think anyone considering themselves a journalist or TV news reader might have a bit of intelligence or exhibit a bit of common sense, but this is not the case. The media IMO has always been center left, but during the Clinton years is when the extreme activity started and the bias has been progressively worse since then. There seems to be no embarrassment for their actions. Reporting of news is no longer the standard; everything is Opinion. Thanks to the internet one can piece together a picture of what is news-worthy.

#s 2 and 17...I have no doubt that a Romney administration, as did the Bush administration in their time, would not want their four years tainted with the detritus from the previous crapweasel's time in office. It is an almost unwritten rule and Mitt Romney would not seek retribution...it is undignified and unpresidential. Regardless of how the Obama-ites behaved.
I am sorry, because I want to see Bronco Bama perp walked to jail like so many other Chicago politicians as they finished their time in office.
Does anyone know offhand how many previous Illinois governors are in jail right now? It's two or three and known as the Chicago way.

Unfortunately I agree with #7. If Obama wins the LSM will preposterously re-write history to claim that the poor fool has an overwhelming "mandate". All those that point out that Obama is easily the worst president in American history will be called racists. Vocal protesters opposed to Obama stealing the election will be arrested with mindless cheer leading from the LSM. I'm not being pessimistic. If Romney wins the same professional victims will be apoplectic and angrily denounce America as racist and the election invalid because only racists and haters would vote for a smart, successful white guy. Either way these tools may have to retire the word racist from the dictionary.

I know plenty of older people in rural NH who can't get cable, can't afford satellite, and therefore only get PBS and ABC. The internet is foreign to them. If they had access to Fox the number of informed voters would skyrocket as they are good people, but live in the past.

I think this all started, or at least got much worse, with Bush-Gore in 2000. The liberal left was outraged that Bush won. They spent the next 8 years, even in a time of national concern over our own safety, trying to ruin the President. They didn't even try to show impartiality any longer, as they live in the bubble of peers who think like they do. Obama has been used much like he used others in the past. They pushed him and his idiotic policies down our throat. They covered for him at every turn. They continue to lie for him.
I can only hope others are wrong about Romney. I think he has a love for our country that will not allow him to play politics with Bengazi. I am praying non-stop for him and our country.

Not that it will change their approach, but one can always speak truth kindly and hope it penetrates. Our editor is a decent newsman but the publisher is a flaming liberal.

This election isn't even close if not for the Kneepad Media. And don't think for a second we will not have the Kneepad Media once this election is over. Come Jan 21, the day after President is inaugurated, expect stories about eh increase in the homeless, pictures of flag draped coffins with US service personnel from Afghanistan and global warming hysteria to be all over the Alphabets and print media. They will do the same things they always do when a Rebublican is elected. Pavlov’s dog was less predictable then these clowns.

The media will quickly rediscover their "bite" in a Romney administration. My hope is that President Romney will have a Press Secretary who will be of good cheer, be a great communicator, and will not be steamrolled by the media. He needs a Tony Snow because that position is going to be a very important one. The media will turn into snarky pit bulls come November 7th and will try and define a Romney presidency. Unlike Obama's perpetual honeymoon there will be no honeymoon this time around for President Romney. Please choose wisely.

The Alp[habet MSM that broadcasts on the PUBLIC AIRWAVES must have their licenses revoked for obvious bias and politics vs. unbiased reporting. Their licenses should be put up for auction to the highest bidder and the current holders are barred from bidding!
That will put things right. As for the cable MSM, they can be dealt with by letting advertisers know that no one will buy their products!
Now on to more important matters!
All Marxist run Universities should be barred from any grants or other govt. money programs, DONE!
All Unions must be outlawed, union leadership should be arrested and held for trial on charges of Treason, theft of union funds and practicing politics.
All 501c corporations and others with 'tax exempt status' should be forced to pay taxes IF they have been a political arm of the Dimocrap party.
All foreign donations and foreigners who have corrupted out political process (Soros for instance) should be arrested no matter where they are and held for trial for Treason and conspiracy to undermine our govt.
I could go on but you get the picture!

There are NO true patriots out there in the teaching profession anymore. They are union members who care more for the unions and their greed than they do this country.

If there is one thing I’ve learned since the Clintonista years is that some people will believe what they want to believe, and the truth be damned. Therefore lamers like Chris Matthews still provide a service by validating the hardcore useful idiots’ agenda. In a way this is good because Rush said he will continue until everyone agrees with him; we will have Rush for a very long time.

Being both a cynic and a pessimist, I cannot bring myself to share Carlson and Patel's confidence that the fading Legacy Media is close to fading completely out. Yes, we have known for most of our lives that they are water carriers for the Left, and we can observe that their bias is by now startlingly obvious. The alternative media is inexorably taking the place of the propaganda organs of the Left, but the Fourth Estate's colony of intellectual cockroaches, eschewing the light, will scamper around for a while longer until they're stepped on and squashed. They are diminished and obsolescent, but not obsolete. Yet.

A word of caution to those who share Hannity's view that the press died in 2008: in March 1919, the noted journalist Lincoln Steffens accompanied State Department official William Bullit (the future U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union) on a trip to revolutionary Russia. Later on, Steffens proclaimed triumphantly: "I've seen the future, and it works." But according to Bullit, Steffens came up with this phrase on the way to Russia, not after he had seen the future. 1919 seems a lot earlier than 2008, doesn't it?

You'd think that with shrinking audiences and subscriptions the owners of old media would seek a format change to fit the market and increase their profitability. Trouble is, they know nothing of the free market and, in fact, are out to destroy it. We'll just have to wait until the old media goes up for a fire sale and conservatives buy them out.

Tucker and Patel, are too kindly, call them timid, as they refer to destructive TV & press people as "liberal"? (a word that means freedom). TV/press are, in fact, anti-liberal, big State, endless tax & spend. Mildly call them socialists, OR economic fascists, government colluding privilege with big corporations: like Mussolini's Italy, Hitler's Germany. Or, go full bore, call them Communists Stalin's Soviet terrorizing slavery. Nah, too scared to call them commies. Just stop calling them "liberal"! They can call ALL of it, "the line", or “the complex". The amazing Andrew Breitbart called it "The Complex", in his bestseller, "RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION". Andrew busted the press, calling their rules of behavior, “The Complex”. He was getting close to "cultural Marxism" before he died. In fact, for many years, this rigid press and Hollywood uniformity was called, "The Party Line", named after the American Communist Party" and its bosses who decided from month to month, exactly what the "The Communist Party Line” was. What you said and wrote, was all at risk of being brutally punished by The Party Bosses, and ALL your fellow commie pals. New Media has countered "The Line", exposing truth, the lying pattern of censoring. New Media is exposing the Old Media cover-up of Benghazi, birth certificate, czars, on and on. Old Media chastized for their Party Line. Their Protection Racket of Beltway crimes.

As long as the LSM is headquartered in New York City and DC there will be no change. They sit in their high rise ivory towers and look down on the rest of the country with contempt and disdain. If they would come down off their high-horse every once in a while they would see the rest of the country has indoor plumbing and electricity too.

Remember when Romney was at the correspondents dinner party in Washington, D.C. last month. He made a "joke" of the so-called liberal mainstream media, by saying something like "When I state what my plans are to fix the American economy, it appears that it is the liberal media's job to make sure that the American people never hear those plans". You have to figure that Romney has the liberal media's number and once Romney is elected that he will not play their little games.

I think it finally dawned on me.
Yes the "news" organizations are full of leftists who no doubt think that obumbler's agenda (whatever that is) is a good thing. In that respect they would go easy on him no matter his skin color.
But oblamer is clearly getting more than just a pass. He's getting active help. And I think it is just a manisfestation of the affirmative action mentality.
With all their blather of racial equality and their quick willingness to blame racism as the cause of opposing The One, in reality liberals see blacks in this country as poor, incapable children that just have to get help from them (the benevolent liberals) in order to succeed. So in their deepest beliefs, being tough on obummer is the same as chastising a young child who missed some notes during his piano recital. You just don't do that!
Who are the real racists here?

OK, haven't read the article yet--but #2 touched on a fantasy of mine: President Romney stands in front of the WH press corpse and says something like, "The outlets you represent, almost unanimously, did everything in their power to see that I wouldn't be here today to address you in this capacity. Please tell me why I should extend any consideration to you at all." I know, won't happen--but he came pretty close at the Cardinal Newman dinner.

And let us not forget the equally corrupt pollsters with their biased questions, slanted sampling, and bogus turnout models. They've tried to sway voters with their dishonest output just as much as the biased leftwing media has. Thanks to the New Media on the internet, that curtain has been pulled back exposing the humbugs manning the special effects. A lot of polling agencies are going to be discredited after tomorrow.

Just as the solution to improper free speech is more free speech, the solution to a biased free press is more free press. While I agree that Carlson and Patel's piece is a bit of wishful thinking, there is a solution. It's time to ramp up Fox broadcast into a prime-time and morning alternative national news outlet. All the pieces are obviously in place; Rupert only needs to pull the trigger. Bring on the Fox evening news with Brit Hume.

I agree that a large number of media personalities have lost any credibility and have shown a total lack of integrity during this campaign and administration.
I believe that those same bias individuals will beginning tomorrow, begin the undermining of the Romney administration. They will do to him what they did to Bush; he will be portrayed as stupid, out of touch and a terrible human being. The liberal media will continue their drive to a far left agenda that they in their very limited capacity think is right.
They will also try and get people someday again believe their propaganda, but I think they went too far this time and the people recognize how bias and prejudice they are.
You just can’t fix stupid

The MSM is toast. The main thing is that when Romney wins they will realize they have lost all humf when it comes to attacking Romney. Their credibility is now shot. People will laugh them off when they now try to attack Romney as they did Bush.

If Obama gets returned to the throne I believe a lot of things will be changing, including his consolidation of the media. The FCC will become a Ministry of Change. Worst of all, he will claim a mandate to do whatever necessary to homogenize the government/media message... across the spectrum. Look out Rush, Fox and Anti-Muslim film makers.

As long as the LSM controls print media, it will be hard for the New Media to reach everyone. #30's comment about older viewers being confined to the alphabets is true - not just in NH but because seniors generally are somewhat slower to adapt decades of viewing patterns to the New Media.
Take it from this oldster, though, that cable and satellite are not the only resources. Many of us are pretty good with a computer (as long as it doesn't break down).
The Tea Party News Network has a new site http://tpnn.com/ and promises election coverage beginning at 3 PM tomorrow.
Perhaps under the Romney administration, what Carlson calls "political reporters" will make a last-ditch fight for self preservation and begin some actual reporting.
Wouldn't it be fun to see the New Media representatives in the majority at WH press conferences and briefings by the new Romney Press Secretary?

A President Romney was opposed by the media and he and Ryan have had to wade through them and keep their heads above the muck.
Hopefully their administration will keep in mind the duplicity of the dems and their media and ride out any storm just as Romney did about his taxes when the nervous nellies in the GOP wanted them put out as demanded.
When Newt took over the House in 1994 he capitulated to power sharing with the dems and then we watched dirty Harry and Pelousy reign of power aiaded by the press.
This is a new day and we need to keep after the media on blogs and social media and any other way. The race isn't over until the goal of smaller government and states rights is achieved.

The media's leftwing bias has become more extreme in just the last four years. During the Bush administration, the Washington Post made a half-hearted attempt to be balanced--in the news section, not the op-eds, which are full of flaming commies. They were actually much better than the NY Times during that period, believe it or not.
However, the moment Obama took office, the Post dropped the mask completely and has been more biased towards the Democrats than at any time since I first started reading it.
When Romney wins, he absolutely needs to have an aggressive media strategy. Under the First Amendment, he obviously cannot suppress the media, but he's also under no obligation to kowtow to them. I totally agree that Fox News and outlets like the Daily Caller, NY Post and Washington Times get first dibs on press conference questions and information releases. Let the WashPost, NY Times, and the broadcast networks subsist on crumbs. Make them perform actual acts of journalism if they want stories--assuming they're even capable of that anymore.

Pat Caddell accurately described today's old media as " enemies of the people ". Our house no longer watches any offering , news or otherwise , from ABC , CBS or NBC. If I could figure out a way to delete them from my cable package I would . I have no idea who the sponsors are for the agitprop channels . Brian Williams has long been an anti Republican propagandist and mouthpiece for the Democrat Party. He always used terms like " everyone says " or " people are saying " to begin his pieces slandering Republicans . I will never forget before the 2004 election, when the unemployment number was 5.4 % . Williams showed black and white Depression era footage of men on bread lines and said that if President Bush was re elected , " people predict " that will happen again in Bush's second term. Tapper and Ms Attkisson should work for FOX. Their journalistic integrity is wasted where they are now.

The media will lost credibility with some. But there is a hard core out there--media as well as people who want very much to believe the misleading information fed them by the media. If Romney should win, it is guaranteed that there will be a howling, petty, vicious, persistent, stupid and unbalanced mob of media people attacking Romney by Wednesday morning. And they'll keep it up forever.

We do not watch any MSM on TV or listen on the radio. We do not receive any newspapers and only subscribe to Financial literature. We watch Fox Cable News, if anything, grudgingly, because even they have become somewhat PC. We get all our news from the Internet and Conservative talk radio stations some of which we tune into on the internet. I believe that many millions of Americans do the same as we do. Frankly, if anyone from the Obama Administration pops up on the screen, we often change the channel, because they nauseate us with their lies. It is a sad state of affairs that the MSM has turned into a Democratic propaganda outlet, and quite odd that many intelligent people will not do their job, which is to report the news in an independent manner. As the article implies their end date has been hastened by their biased reports, which bear no relation to actual reporting. Lastly, I think Fix Cable News is heading in the wrong direction by having two sides represented in most situations. To me, that is fair, but UNbalanced, because many on the left appear to be unhinged from reality. Not to pick on one individual, but I rarely watch THE FIVE because MR Beckel make no sense to me. I can see no reason to have him as part of the show. I am sure that the ratings would go up if they had only informed, rational folks involved. Mr Beckel is not rational. That is my opinion.

Well, let's acknowledge: 1.The media BELONGS to the leftists. 2.They are paid by the leftists - either directly through the stimulus-shmimulus money or by intimidating the companies to advertise in newsrags and on local tv. 3.They will do what they are told, no matter how many working in the media are leftists or conservatives - fascists/commies know how the vet their ranks. 4.The media will dump on Romney's administration even worse than they did before!
What needs to be done? 1.Cut government, overt and covert, funding from the lefties. 2.Build the conservative mainstream media!

They will be required to report ad nauseam about the cuts to EBT cards, food stamps, welfare, social security, and medicare. The public must be informed of the atrocities.

The LSM is a full arm of the criminal and corrupt left. Hopefully the electorate will elect Romney and reject the criminal currently in the WH. The turning point on the LSM's bias occurred many years ago, to those actually paying attention. The Long March through our institutions has produced far too many Honey Boo Boos; if Romney wins these people will wake up Wednesday morning, go, "Hmm", and go on with their self-absorbed lives.

News Flash: I work in journalism so let me give you an insider's quick take. This profession pays poorly unless you are working for network TV. Further, journalists see society 24/7. While you are sleeping, there is another world out there, active and pulsating, and that figures into how journalists see life. Some of it is tragic. Just take my word for it.
Comment on this site and others to your heart's content. But, your voice really can be heard if you write to the news sources you abhor. That would be metro dailies? Most of them have a person who is supposed to be YOUR advocate. The e-mail is often ombudsman@thedailyfishwrap.com or whatever your local outlet is. Make it your job to find out how to contact that person, and DEMAND fair news coverage front page to back.
Why did so many papers endorse Romney this election? My guess is advertisers put the word out to publishers that their money was going elsewhere if news outlets didn't support a capitalist candidate. Think about it. Then act.

WHEN Romney wins and WHEN he gets the economy turned around it will be painfully obvious that Progressivism is bereft of any value. That's what the media supports and they thought that BO embodied Progressivism. They have been cut adrift, just as they have been so many times in the past by people who they invested their fervent beliefs in but who turned out to be duds. They never look to the root, that Progressivism is simply wrong and anyone who tries to support it is doomed to fail. The people that try must suspend rational actions.
The MSM has been unmasked and hopefully they will be replaced by an honest media that serves a valid role as watchdog for the public instead of lapdog for the dems.

That said, I can only hope that Tucker is right. I would love, LOVE to see the NY Times reporters and those stupid TV people on the unemployment lines. Especially Stuffin Envelopes and that moron Brian Williams. Had Benghazi happened under a Republican President, there would have been a drumbeat every night about how the administration was lying, followed by how expensive gasoline has become. And then with Sandy, that would have been the knock out punch with the Republican president's incompetence. How do these people look at themselves in the mirror? Their professional dishonesty is shocking. Their demise can't come soon enough.

There’s a huge red flag in the Benghazi mess, but conservatives are letting the media get away with using a red herring to avoid it. Give the establishment media credit for obstinacy: Once it settles on a standard narrative or explanation for a particular subject, it shows remarkable discipline in explaining away any evidence that contradicts its own approved spin. So it has been with the media’s 250-day old determination to downplay the scandalous nature of the Obama administration’s treatment of its outpost in Benghazi before, during, and after the terrorist attack there that took four American lives.

Lawmakers across the country are tussling over the Obama administration´s plans to create a small army of assistants to guide millions of Americans as they sign up for new health-insurance options available this fall. Backers of the health-care overhaul face an uphill battle to spread the word about the law, in the face of consumer research that suggests most uninsured people know little about it and are skeptical about the value of health insurance generally. Some Democrats have openly worried that the administration is doing too little to make sure the enrollment process goes smoothly. That is where the "patient navigators"

Labor unions are breaking with President Obama on ObamaCare. Months after the president’s reelection, a variety of unions are publicly balking at how the administration plans to implement the landmark law. They warn that unless there are changes, the results could be catastrophic. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) — a 1.3 million-member labor group that twice endorsed Obama for president — is very worried about how the reform law will affect its members’ healthcare plans. Last month, the president of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers released a statement calling “for repeal

Since Hillary Clinton last came up to Capitol Hill, we’ve learned senior State Department officials sought to scrub references to terrorism from the infamous Benghazi talking points to insulate Foggy Bottom from political criticism — citing concerns of their “building’s leadership” to justify the demands. The rising temperature of the scandal means it’s possible that Hillary could be asked to return and testify again. If she comes back, she had better be prepared, says House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa. “We are interviewing lots of people, most of them under oath,” Issa says, describing the “methodical” approach his committee

We hear a lot, these days, about how President Obama is not like Lyndon Johnson and thanks be to heaven for that small mercy. The point seems to be that the president doesn´t know how to arm twist, sweet talk, bribe, and emasculate both friend and enemy (of which he truly had neither) in order to further his agenda. Since many among the chattering class believe, still, in that agenda, his is generally regarded as an excellent presidency.

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon. These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law. According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
