UPDATE: Remember when CNN’s Soledad O’Brien was caught reciting liberal blog Talking Points Memo on air?
This is even worse: People who are claim to be professional journalists accused Paul Ryan of lying, based on talking points issued directly from the Democratic National Committee and the Obama campaign, which the journalists themselves didn’t bother to verify, and which are provably false.

Jennifer Granholm: God Shut Down Republican Convention
Jennifer Granholm: God Shut Down Republican Convention
This is a real howler coming from a woman replaced by a Republican after her failed policies rained as much misery on the State of Michigan as any hurricane.
But let's talk about the real issue, and that's the media.
If some obscure, no-name Republican City Councilman in some unincorporated small Southern town tweeted these exact words out after President Obama's convention was delayed by a hurricane, right now it would be the lead on Politico, Andrea Mitchell's wig hair would be on fire, Michael Steele and Joe Scarborough would've called a joint press conference to condemn the remarks, and the entire media-collective would be tut-tutting Romney's unwillingness to distance himself from
The RacistHateTheocraticExtemismThatWillSurelyGiveSwingVotersPauseBecauseRomneysTaxReturns.
But Hurricane Granholm --a former freakin' governor and current broadcaster who just today appeared on ABC's "This Week" -- will get a full pass for declaring God is on the side of The State because Obama's media punks know that Democrats like Granholm and Obama never mean what they say about God…
…Because they don’t believe in God.
"Oh, wait," the corrupt media will tell you, "It was just a joke. Lighten up."
You first, Bedwetters For Obama.
