What's With Olbermann: First Chicken & Waffles, Now Guacamole
First, to be fair to Keith Olbermann, I personally doubt the MSNBC anchor harbors prejudicial sentiments towards Mexican-Americans, but really, can you imagine the ire, or very least wide-open speculation if say Don Imus had said this?:New York Senator Clinton, an adopted Giants fan watched the game in Minnesota and told the Associated Press, quote, "Super Bowl, Super Tuesday, we've got one…
Hillary Clinton Passes On 'Bastard
Remember when the media was concerned about the tone of the Presidential discourse? About how it had fallen to new lows when an audience member, in querying Republican Senator and aspirant John McCain on November 13th of last year, referred to Democrat hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) as a female dog? CNN's Rick Sanchez tried desperately to create a scandal out of whole cloth, insisting that…
NY Times: We're Above the Law
The mainstream media seems to believe that they are above the law. they feel that anything that they do should be protected by law, no matter if they are engaging in actions that walk close to the line of treason.

CNN.com Highlights Negatives of GOP Candidates

Case in point: Here are the GOP candidate bios (my emphasis):John McCain: The U.S. senator from Arizona ran for the GOP presidential nomination in 2000, but lost to George W. Bush. Mitt Romney: The…
AP's Vastly Different Obits for Edwards, Giuliani Failed Candidacies
The presidential campaigns of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) and former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) were both derailed yesterday in Florida. But in covering the story, the AP was considerably more morose about Edwards's train wreck than Giuliani's (h/t NB reader Joe Loiacono).Let's look at the AP coverage. First the Edwards write-up by Nedra Pickler (emphasis mine):
Clinton Clobbered in South Carolina, Will Media Blame Race Baiting
Have the recent race baiting antics of the Clintons left you wondering whether the former first couple has lost its collective mind, especially now that this tactic seems to be at least partially responsible for Barack Obama's landslide victory in Saturday's South Carolina primary? Or, like most conservatives, do you believe that nothing this pair ever does is spontaneous and without…
Media Give Franken a Pass for Nutball Behavior
Comedian Al Franken is running for the U.S. Senate seat from Minnesota, this the media is happy to report. But, for some unexplainable reason, the media isn't so interested in reporting Franken's odd behavior. It seems that an ungovernable rage is always just under the surface with Franken, a rage that has several times broken free and resulted in assault and other violent or antisocial behavior…
The Latest Media Scam
Left wing think tank hatchet reportingThe Establishment Media's Weapon of ChoiceAnd you thought only the New York Times was engaged in not-for-profit journalism. Behold the Center for Public Integrity (CPI), who on Wednesday made headlines across the nation with their report -- co-authored with the Fund for Independence in Journalism (FIJ) -- entitled "Iraq - The War Card: Orchestrated Deception…
NYT: Everyone Hates Mitt Romney
Everyone hates Mitt Romney. You should too. Why? Because, among the Republican presidential candidates, he's the most disliked.This extremely sound bit of reasoning comes in today's edition of the New York Times courtesy of reporter Michael Luo whose evidence that the other candidates think this is based on some good old-fashioned arm-chair psychology. Let's take a look:
Bring Mika the Head of John Gibson
The woman who got her big break on network TV thanks to the firing of Don Imus now apparently wants another host to lose his job over some tasteless remarks.Morning Joe is the show that took over MSNBC's early-morning time slot after Imus was bounced for his offensive observations about the Rutgers women's basketball team. Mika Brzezinski, a regular member of the Morning Joe crew, has now left…
MSM Forgets That Republicans Remember King
In a moment that can only be described as journalistic amnesia, the NYT forgets to mention that Republican candidates remember Dr. King.The NYT had three stories on the section of their site designated for U.S. news, reporting how the presidential candidates honored Martin Luther King, Jr. The first story discusses the three Democratic candidates - Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards…
