In his illuminating new e-book on covering the Obama re-election campaign, Buzzfeed reporter Michael Hastings reveals that President Obama secretly joined reporters for drinks once while the campaign was in Orlando, Fla.  The “beer summit” with supporters is described by Hastings as little like

Politico’s Senior Political Reporter Jonathan Martin is married to Meet the Press Executive Producer Elizabeth Discher Martin.  Surely that high-powered relationship had nothing to do with Politico’s paltry coverage of the David Gregory/DC gun law story.  Surely not.  The biggest story within Beltway

After accusing Breitbart News of “terrible reporting” on the intrigue surrounding John Boehner’s re-election as Speaker of the House, Politico ran a detailed article repeating most of the same facts found in our reporting. When editors proofed Jake Sherman and John

On Thursday’s addition of MSNBC’s “The Cycle,” polarizing political pundit Touré agreed with Breitbart News‘ take on Barbara Walters’ shallow, sexist, and embarrassing interview of potential presidential candidates Chris Christie and Hillary Clinton:   That moment about the hair, and

NBC News reports that US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has withdrawn her name from consideration as Secretary of State:   “If nominated, I am now convinced that the confirmation process would be lengthy, disruptive and costly –

On Wednesday night’s “Hardball,” MSNBC host Chris Matthews asserted that the mainstream media’s reporting was too favorable of the Republican Party.   According to Matthews, the media failed to report fairly on the presidential election and the biggest story that,
