‘Let’s Face It, the Color of His Skin’

MSNBC’s Richard Wolffe explains why you hate Obama: “What is it about this President that has stripped away the veneer of respect that normally accompanies the office of the president?

Neutral Objective Headline of the Day: Speaker John Boehner Should Resign For His Unprecedented Insult To The President That’s from Tommy Christopher at Mediaite, who adds: The media, meanwhile, ought to abandon its fetish foe false objectivity, and recognize the facts.

No Honor Among Thieves, No Curiosity Among Journalists: Perez Hilton Re-Pirates Video, CBS News Repeats Smear
