NYTimes Waited Full Week to Correct Military Rape Story - One Tale a T
March 27th, 2007 4:11 AM
On March 18th, the New York Times published a piece titled "The Women's War". It was a feature of great length (18 pages on the Internet) centered around the plight of several female Veterans of the war in Iraq. It detailed the mistreatment they suffered by the US Military, sexual harassment they received at the hands of army officers, and their PTSDs (post traumatic distress disorders). A…
Seymour Hersh Discusses American Military Strategy on Iranian Radio
March 27th, 2007 1:34 AM
Seymour Hersh of “The New Yorker” has been an outspoken critic of the Bush administration and the war in Iraq for many years. This certainly should come as no surprise to folks familiar with his name, his work, and his style of dangerously activist journalism.On March 11, Hersh added a new wrinkle to his résumé by not only doing a radio interview with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting,…
WashPost Says Evangelicals Turning Against the War --- Offers NO Proof
March 26th, 2007 5:54 AM
It is always interesting to me how a story can be published as if it is serious work, a story that almost seems plausible until you step back from it to realize that not a shred of proof to support the supposition was ever offered.

Is Bill Maher Becoming the Rosie O’Donnell of Cable Television
March 26th, 2007 12:19 AM
Lately it seems that HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” has become the place for left-wing politicians and media members to go on Friday evenings to say whatever disgraceful thing they want about the Bush administration without regard for accuracy or prudence. Does that make it HBO’s answer to ABC’s farcical morning coffee klatch “The View,” and Bill Maher is suddenly just an intelligent…

March 23rd, 2007 9:45 AM
It is safe to say after listening to Wednesday’s “Glenn Beck Program” that the host is not at all fond of ABC’s Rosie O’Donnell. In fact, one wouldn’t be out of line in stating that he loathes the co-host of “The View” who he disaffectionately referred to as a “fat witch.”In an unbridled rant about a figure that is truly becoming one of the prime targets for conservatives due to her frequent…
Media Ignore Syrian Minister’s Claim That CIA Was Behind 2005 London
March 22nd, 2007 1:13 AM
Is it the media’s job to keep American citizens aware of statements made by foreign officials that could shed light on what we’re up against in winning the wars in Iraq and on terrorism? Or, should the press keep the caustic comments of such political officials from the public in order to maximize the impression that all the problems in the world are caused by the Bush administration?While you…
