'Stunning' News from NYT: Campbell Brown Shifts Towards Commentary

The New York Times has just shocked us with this news: the CNN anchor on Election Center, Campbell Brown, is shifting over to commentary. This is quite hard to believe since Brown conceals her own views so well that it is impossible to detect the slightest trace of bias on her part. The Times informs us of this most unusual transition:

CNN Ignores Bernardine Dohrn's Terrorist Past While Defending Obama

McCain Camp Finally Expose Obama Ayers Connection, Media Quick to the

Obama’s unbreakable friendship with the unrepentant, America hating terrorist William Ayers of the Weather Underground is probably one of the most important things America needs to know about Barack before voting day. The media have done well in pretending this is not an issue, and acting as if this does not bring serious questions about Obama’s judgement. The media want this controversial…

Frank Rich's Palin Paranoia

A beautiful woman, at once a scheming, ambitious right-wing ideologue, and the powerful, evil forces behind her, plot to seize the presidency from the man—foolish enough to have made her his running-mate—who may be concealing just how seriously sick he is, both physically and mentally!As the stuff of straight-to-video filmmaking, not bad, perhaps.  But as the theory of an ostensibly serious…

AP: Palin is a Racist

Talk about an idiotic assertion, but the Associated Press just claimed that Governor Sarah Palin is a racist for saying that Obama used to "pal around with terrorists." According to the AP's Douglass K. Daniel, Palin is a racist because the word "terrorist" is construed now-a-days to mean a "dark-skinned radical Muslim" so that makes her a "racist" in his blinkered view. See, it isn't overt,…

'SNL' Skit Blames Democrats For Financial Crisis

NBC's "Saturday Night Live" last evening amazingly blamed Democrats for the current financial crisis, and accurately informed viewers that the Bush administration warned about the looming calamity many years ago.This came roughly 24 hours after actor Alec Baldwin made the same claim on HBO's "Real Time." In addition, much like a report Matthew Sheffield and I did for the Capital Research Center…

Charlie Gibson: 'It's Important to Expose' Sarah Palin

So, instead of merely reporting the news, now reporters are the news? Apparently Charlie Gibson thinks he is, anyway. He gave an interview to the Toledo Blade on October 5 as if his opinions of the race for the White House are somehow more important than the news of the candidates. You remember the candidates, don't you Chuck? You know, those guys who are actually going to be elected, the ones…

Billions of Barrels Could Mean Trillions of Government Dollars; Media

Old Media's coverage of the recently-lifted executive and congressional bans on offshore exploration and drilling for oil and natural gas largely overlooked an important element that should have been very relevant to the discussion. Supporters of lifting the bans surely share much of the blame for only rarely citing it. Though they have frequently noted the hundreds of billions of dollars a years…
