'Please Don't Read This' Headline Leads Incomplete AP Beauchamp Story
August 9th, 2007 2:49 PM
One needs to look no further than the Associated Press's story on the Scott Beauchamp saga to understand why the general public not following the news closely doesn't "get" just how biased and antagonistic towards the war, the military, and American soldiers Old Media outlets are. In the case of Scott Beauchamp, now that their brethren at The New Republic (TNR) have been caught red-handed…
Carroll's Cri de Coeur: Globe Columnist Anguished, and It's All Americ
August 6th, 2007 8:21 AM
I don't know James Carroll, but if I were a friend or family member I might truly be concerned. His Boston Globe column of this morning, American Disconnection, is a disjointed lament about the state of the world and his feeling of disconnectedness, invoking the anomie of his youth. What makes it interesting for present purposes is the way in which Carroll, the prototypical MSM liberal, looks…
Network Morning Shows Ignore Obama's No Nukes Comment
August 3rd, 2007 12:29 PM
On Friday, the network morning shows downplayed or ignored 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s muddled comment that nuclear weapons shouldn’t be used in "any circumstances" in Afghanistan or Pakistan. On CBS, the "Early Show" didn’t cover the story at all. During the three hour broadcast of the "Today" show, NBC found time for only one brief anchor read. ABC’s "Good Morning…
Shocking ‘Chris Matthews' Discussion: Maybe We Shouldn’t Leave Ira
July 29th, 2007 2:29 PM
[Updated w/video clip, 14:21 Eastern, July 30]Something happened on Sunday's "Chris Matthews Show" that likely shocked virtually all viewers on both sides of the aisle: the panel, stocked with liberal media members as usual, actually discussed reasons why America shouldn't pull troops out of Iraq. In fact, not only was this issue seriously debated, but some of the statements made could have come…
NY Daily News Misleads About Bush Linking Iraq and
July 25th, 2007 9:31 AM
The New York Daily News perpetrated an interesting, yet subtly misleading headline about president Bush's Charleston, South Carolina speech on Al Qaeda in Iraq today in theirs titled "W still ties Iraq, 9/11." Following the left's playbook of claiming Bush has illicitly linked Saddam's Iraq to 9/11 their headline made it seem as if Bush, indeed, "still ties" 9/11 to Iraq. It is, of course, a…
As Expected, CNN's YouTube Debate Skews Leftward
July 23rd, 2007 11:25 PM
In the lead-up to Monday night’s YouTube debate with the Democrat presidential candidates, CNN ran prime-time specials previewing videos that might be featured during the debate, and most of those featured came from the liberal side. It should be no surprise then that video clips featured left-wing clips by almost a 3 to 1 margin versus the conservative clips - 17 liberal clips to 6 conservative…
Bill Maher: ‘I Love America; It’s Americans I Can’t Stand
July 22nd, 2007 5:51 PM
As if allowing this anti-American Bush-hater to have his own series wasn't enough, the brilliant folks at HBO decided to give Bill Maher another comedy special to rail against all things conservative. For those on the left hoping for some truly vile attacks on the GOP, Saturday's "Bill Maher: The Decider" surely must have hit the spot. In fact, of the 60 minutes Maher was given, upwards of 40…
For Upcoming Special, CNN Equated Suicide Bombing 'Martyrs' with Chris
July 22nd, 2007 11:26 AM
CNN's Pressroom announced that its upcoming six-hour special “God's Warriors,” reported by Christiane Amanpour, will discuss “the impact of religious fundamentalism as a powerful political force.” In the process, CNN revealed what it thinks about the various “fundamentalists” around the world by pushing the typical multi-culti PC media position that no one religion is more problematic or violent…
