Some bias from the Washington Post
Comparing the slant of the Washington Post on Obama’s US Attorney appointments to actual facts. So far, the facts are ahead. Continue reading
Jindal didn’t go over so well
Reactions to Governor Bobby Jindal’s response to Obama’s non-State of the Union speech. Continue reading
