Boston Globe Actually Notices 'The View' Is Biased Against the Right
Most everyone on the center-right knows the media are biased in a leftward direction, much fewer on the left are able to see this phenenomenon--skewed stories are are just saying the truth after all. Because of this, it's always refreshing to see a liberal news organization sit down and notice something that's left-biased such as the Boston Globe did recently when it correctly observed that ABC's…
Joe Trippi More Newsworthy Than Posthumous Medal of Honor Recipient
Army Captain Mark L. Stoneman took issue with the Washington Post placing an article regarding the Medal of Honor ceremony for the late Lt. Michael P. Murphy, a Navy Seal killed in action in Afghanistan, on page A4, when the Post devoted prime real estate on the front page to a profile of Democratic strategist Joe Trippi (emphasis mine).:I was disappointed in your coverage of the posthumous…
Facebook Provides Fascinating Glimpse Into Society, Media Demographics
As the popularity of personal web profiles continues to skyrocket, their utility as a demographic research tool has increased dramatically, both as a means of studying the general public but also to study the ideological bent of the self-described mainstream media. On the second point (see below for a discussion of the first) a recent study of Facebook profiles of BBC employees finds, surprise…
WaPo Downplays Biden's Latest Racial Blooper; NYT, LAT Ignore It
It's time for a TGIF edition of one of our favorite games: WIARHSI. For you beginners, that's "What If A Republican Had Said It?"What if a Republican had said, in explaining why schools in Iowa are performing better than those in Washington:There's less than one percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than four of five percent that are minorities. What…
MSM Reporter Shows True Colors in Blog Post About Military Check Point

Time's Joe Klein: Romney Running as 'Troglodyte,' Duncan Hunter a 'Fru
Time's Joe Klein, aka the Anonymous who wrote "Primary Colors," painted a very nasty portrait of the crop of 2008 Republican candidates for the presidency on his October 24 appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." Particularly of note, Klein referred to the former Republican governor of Massachusetts as a "troglodyte.":Look at Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney, you know, ran as a liberal against Ted Kennedy…
Boom: Drudge Scoops Docs to Sink New Republic
Drudge scooped me (arrgghhh!) with two documents related to the Beauchamp/TNR story. I had asked for in a FOIA request submitted more than a month ago to the U.S. Army. Those documents including a transcript of the call between Scott Beauchamp, TNR editor Franklin Foer, and TNR executive editor Peter Scoblic on September 7. I first wrote about the conversation itself previously. The other…
FBI: LA State Senator is Money Laundering -- Did AP Mention He's a Dem
Today it's being reported that Louisiana State Senator Derrick Shepherd stands accused by the FBI of money laundering. The AP duly reported the messy story surrounding this charge, of course. Their story was long and exhaustive for an AP report. Only one tiny, little thing seems to have been forgotten by the AP. They seem to have forgotten to mention that Shepherd is a Democrat. I know...…
Fallen Hero Marine's Grave Desecrated in Texas -- Will MSM Cover it
If this is how the memory of heroes gets treated in the U.S. today, then I wouldn't blame any U.S. soldier if they would stop caring about their own country -- not that any soldier has done so. I reported several months ago that a bunch of ignorant, ingrates in Colorado were trying to stop a memorial to a local hero from being erected where school kids could see the display. And now we have a…
Morning Shows Ignore Another Clinton Scandal
The mainstream television media, for the most part, ignored yet another potential Clinton scandal. As NewsBusters’ Richard Newcombe reported, the Los Angeles Times, certainly not a conservative publication, broke the story of the Clinton campaign raising a large sum of money from very poor Chinese immigrants. One third of these immigrants could not even be located and the vast majority of those…
