County Sheriff Runs Sex-Slave Operation from Jail -- Guess Which Party
April 18th, 2008 2:12 AM
Well, this time the AP has really done it. Dateline Custer County, Oklahoma: Sheriff Mike Burgess resigns after authorities charged him with running a sex-slave operation out of his jail using female inmates he bribed for the purpose. So, which party did the AP tell us our crafty entrepreneur was from? Well, they seem to have forgotten to mention it... shocking, I know.
Oklahoma sheriff charged…
MSM Using Papal Visit to Focus on Priest Scandals Instead of Obama's R
April 16th, 2008 4:19 PM
Thank heavens. Pope Benedict XVI has finally stepped off of Shepherd One onto American soil to begin a six day visit that is sure to be everything the American left hopes to make it out to be. The media is working overtime to resurrect old wounds, create some new controversies and repeat liberal talking points that so perfectly judges a man as only the selective memory of liberal hypocrisy has…
Scarborough: MSM Talks 'Litmus Test' Only Regarding Pro-Life Republica
April 16th, 2008 9:06 AM
During Morning Joe's opening segment today, Joe Scarborough, in an apparent allusion to the ambitions Chris Matthews has expressed, facetiously wondered whether the panel should start calling the Hardball host "Senator." But just a bit later, Scarborough seized on a question Matthews posed to John McCain yesterday to illustrate a classic bit of MSM bias: the way the liberal media only speak of a…
Press Ignore History-making Italian Election: No Commies Elected
April 15th, 2008 2:38 PM
Michael Ledeen over at the National Review's Corner reminded me today that the recent elections in Italy resulted in a historic event- for the first time since World War II, no Communist was elected to the Italian Parliament. And in an equally positive corollary, no member of the fellow-traveling Green party won either. Mr. Ledeen also noticed something that the Big Media around the world…
Elizabeth Edwards to Blog for Lib Think Tank, Time's Carney Lauds the
April 8th, 2008 4:01 PM
Elizabeth Edwards, I'm sure, is a smart, capable woman. A well-educated lawyer, seasoned politician's wife, and mother of three, her battle against cancer is laudable no matter what your politics are. But in all honestly, is she really that much of a scholarly health care policy or health care finance expert?Time's Jay Carney apparently thinks so. Witness his recent pat on the back for the…
The AP Tries to Spin Truth Out of Clinton Fabrication
April 8th, 2008 10:28 AM
The Associated Press launched a farcical defense of Hillary Clinton’s discredited account of a “health care horror story” that involved a pregnant woman who died weeks after losing her baby. The article, Clinton’s Tale Part Truth, Part Errors, by Charles Babington (or is it Babblington?) is a classic journey down Libsteria Lane where no good lie goes undefended. The AP one-ups the Hillary Clinton…
Dem Label Still AWOL for Blagojevich in ChiTrib, Sun-Times Coverage
April 3rd, 2008 12:05 PM
Gov. Rod Blagojevich's (D-Ill.) name has cropped up quite a few times in the ongoing trial of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) benefactor Tony Rezko. Yet in their latest coverage, both the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times left out Blagojevich's party affiliation. The Sun-Times, however, did take note of the Republican party affiliation of another politico caught up in the maelstrom, William…
Time Editor: As Cardinal, Pope Benedict Was 'Hatchet Man
April 3rd, 2008 10:36 AM
Appearing on Morning Joe a couple weeks ago, Time editor Rick Stengel was quick to blame the controversy over Rev. Wright's past remarks on "the incredible ignorance of white Americans" about what goes on in black churches.But the Time editor wasn't quite so forgiving when it came to the past of the current pontiff. Appearing on today's Morning Joe to discuss Time's cover story on Pope Benedict…
Daily Kos Flashback -- or -- Memo to Dan Abrams
March 25th, 2008 5:27 PM
On Monday night, we were privy to Round II of Dan Abrams' (of MSNBC's Live with Dan Abrams pseudo-fame) lukewarm game show, "Rush Limbaugh -- UnAmerican".Both times Abrams levied said assertion in response to Limbaugh's apparently effective (at least at tweaking the likes of Abrams) Operation CHAOS. Which is what Limbaugh has dubbed his call for Republicans to cross over -- where legal -- to…
Jewish Man Attacked in Brooklyn By Muslims Yelling 'Allahu Akbar,' Med
March 24th, 2008 8:41 AM
On March 19th, I found a story on The Jerusalem Post detailing an attack by Muslim youths on a rabbinical assistant that occurred at a Brooklyn, New York subway station. The youths grabbed Uria Ohana's yarmulke off his head then ran off yelling "Allahu Akbar," which is Arabic for "God is great." I have waited four days to report this story myself to see what other news outlets decide to cover…
Righty Female Bloggers Are Targeted By Liberals
March 20th, 2008 7:48 PM
The left and the media love to hyperventilate about the right wing “hate speech” on the Internet, but the anger and vitriol of the left dwarfs that of the right, especially where female or minority bloggers are concerned. Hateful comments are not uncommon at lefty blogs like Daily Kos. That kind of hostility forces the Huffington Post to occassionally close comments on articles involving certain…
