Not News: Food Stamps Is Now Our Guaranteed Income Program
March 7th, 2016 9:06 PM
Since the economy finally began consistently regaining jobs in early 2010, the establishment press has had a consistent, predictable and annoying reporting (and non-reporting) pattern.

Obama Labor Dept. Rule May Curtail Financial Advice Talk on AM Radio
March 7th, 2016 3:16 PM
Score another blow for (allegedly) "unintended consequences."
A proposed 33-page rule applying to investment advisers emanating from the Department of Labor would redefine the fiduciary relationship between investment advisers and their clients investing for retirement, which is the predominant objective of most investors.

Good Grief: AP Report on Car Sales Says Buyers Were 'Giddy'
March 2nd, 2016 2:45 PM
To believe what the Associated Press's Tom Krisher and Dee-Ann Durbin wrote yesterday about February's auto sales, you have to believe that last month's car buyers were either: "a) affected with vertigo; dizzy"; or b) "frivolous and lighthearted; impulsive; flighty."
That's because they claimed that in February, "consumers - giddy from Super Bowl ads - returned to showrooms after a snowy January…

March 1st, 2016 10:01 AM
The failures of liberal internationalism meets the New York Times’ liberal hypocrisy on interventionism, in an enormous front-page Sunday story on Hillary Clinton’s decision to bomb Libya, and the catastrophic results:“The Libya Gamble,” by Jo Becker and Scott Shane.

On the eve of Super Tuesday, the network evening newscasts went all out with 24 minutes and 31 seconds of 2016 coverage and made it clear Donald Trump was far and away the most important story to them with over 62 percent of that time spent salivating on how “there’s not much” Trump opponents “can do to stop him from getting the nomination.” Trump fetched an astonishing 15 minutes and 19 seconds…
AP's Darlene Superville: Critics of Obama Economy Are 'Deniers'
February 29th, 2016 5:34 PM
It appears that there's an effort underway to expand the definition of "deniers" beyond the realm of climate change/"global warming."
Ideally, in leftists' minds, a "denier" would be "anyone who doesn't accept leftist dogma without reservations." That definition would apparently extend to anything relating to the economy, if Associated Press White House reporter and dedicated Barack Obama…

February 29th, 2016 2:07 PM
At the Associated Press, in a Friday morning writeup, the wire service's headline writers and reporter Martin Crutsinger demonstrated extraordinary auditory powers.

U.S. Press Ignores Emotional Testimony of Displaced Disney IT Worker
February 29th, 2016 12:00 AM
Two categories of news the press has studiously avoided during the Obama era came together this week, causing it to (in my view) proactively decide to ignore emotional congressional testimony which should have been front-page news almost everywhere.
The first is their virtually complete disinterest in reporting on congressional hearings. The list is longer than can be recounted here, but…

February 28th, 2016 5:01 PM
On Sunday morning, ABC’s Good Morning America chose to devote only a tease and scant 22-second news brief on the tragic shooting death of a rookie police officer in a Washington D.C. suburb and instead devote over half the hour-long newscast to previewing the Oscars later that day on ABC.
