TIME's Zeke Miller Notes Amusing 'All Hope Is Lost' Democrat Fundraisi

May 31st, 2014 8:57 AM
We just had to pass this on for your amusement. Time magazine's Zeke Miller has a piece documenting House Democrats' overwrought, melodramatic fundraising emails. You can check them out here.  As you read through them, you realize these sort of emails are ripe for late-night comedy and maybe for snarky treatment on shows like Morning Joe or The Five. Of course, as Miller explains, this…

CNN Admits ObamaCare 'Still a Liability,' But Hypes 'Major Milestone

March 18th, 2014 6:52 PM
In a refreshing change of pace, CNN's John King skeptically wondered on Tuesday's New Day about the White House touting the five million "enrollments" in ObamaCare: "They wanted to get the seven million by March 31 – unlikely they'll get there....How important are the next couple of weeks, and...if they get to six, can they spin that as a success, or is this baked in as a failure?" King…

Time Writers Act as Stenographers for Obama; Bury Fact Cash-Strapped D

October 1st, 2013 3:55 PM
Alex Rogers and Zeke Miller of Time magazine dutifully hacked out a 16-paragraph item on President Obama's complaint this afternoon that Republicans were the cause of the government shutdown. It was your typical, garden variety bias-by-stenography. Only at the very end of their article did Rogers and Miller mention that the Democratic National Committee is having a fundraising field day off…

Time Magazine Attacks 'Once-Esteemed' Conservative Think Tank Heritage

September 30th, 2013 1:05 PM
In its 40-year history, the liberal media never really cared for the Heritage Foundation. But now that the think tank has been more assertive in its engagement of Capitol Hill, the liberal media are rewriting history to depict the move as something that is threatening the organization's respectability inside the Beltway. In July, I noted the Wall Street Journal's stab at the concern-trolling…

TIME Writer Presents One-Sided Push For Earmarks, Backroom Deals

August 6th, 2013 4:56 PM
Wouldn’t it be great if Congress reinstated earmarks and started legislating from behind closed doors? That was the argument pushed by political reporter Zeke Miller in a Tuesday article on TIME.com’s Swampland page entitled “The Bipartisan Call to Bring Back the Smoke-Filled Room.” Miller presented  a thoroughly one-sided view of the subject, refusing to acknowledge the considerable downside…

Time.com Still Fawning Over Hillary Clinton Twitter Account While Igno

June 11th, 2013 3:48 PM
Yesterday, my colleague Matt Vespa noted how Time writer (and former BuzzFeeder) Zeke Miller had room to fawn over Hillary Clinton setting up a Twitter account, yet no space to mention allegations of widespread drug and prostitution use by her security detail when she was Secretary of State. Checking back at Time.com today and searching for "State Department," I found that the magazine has…

'Used Up, Thrown Away': Obama Campaign Staffers on Receiving End of Sh

January 16th, 2013 8:54 AM
It's pretty safe to say that a Monday evening story appearing at Buzzfeed which should thoroughly embarrass President Obama will continue to be ignored or seriously downplayed by the Associated Press, (aka the Administration's Press), the New York Times, the TV networks, and most of the rest of the establishment press. Longtime media followers will also recognize the story as the type of item…

Obama 'Major Address' Panned by Fans in the Press; AP Barely Musters E

June 14th, 2012 11:31 PM
If you're starting to lose Jonathan Alter, reporters at Politico, and other left-leaning outlets, you're starting to get into trouble. Double that if you can't even get Julie Pace at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, to muster more than eight paragraphs relating to a 53-minute speech pre-positioned as a "major address." Hunter Walker has compiled several less than…

Still in the camp that doesn't believe the media are liberally biased? Check out what the Washington Post's Aaron Blake tweeted moments ago on Twitter:
