A McCain Coincidence? NYT Stock Nosedived Thursday and Friday

During the four weeks preceding February 20, New York Times Company stock had been staging a nice comeback. Lord only knows that the company's long-suffering shareholders, who before then had seen the share price drop more than 70% since June 2002, a point in time that roughly coincides with the onset of the Old Gray Lady's seemingly intractable case of Bush Derangement Syndrome, welcomed any…

More Hatred From the Party of Peace

Ahh, liberal "tolerance." I've written before (here and here) about how our "NewsBusted" comedy show just drives liberals nuts. Today I have another installment of anger and rage from the party of love and peace.It's axiomatic. Whenever something even slightly conservative becomes popular, it simply incenses liberals--especially if they are the target of humor. The comments are often very similar…

AP’s Nedra Pickler Has Obama’s Back

It now appears, as predicted by yours truly two weeks ago today, that Hillary Clinton will not be our next president, and that Barack Obama is going to be Democratic Party's presidential nominee. This means that it must be time for Old Media to start playing robust defense on his behalf.

'SNL': CNN Debate Moderators 'Totally in the Tank for Senator Obama

'The Strained Scurrying of the Also-Ran

If that sound isn't the fat lady clearing her throat, it might be the MSM humming Hillary's dirge. Consider, for example, ABC national political correspondent Jake Tapper's Good Morning America segment today on the differences in tone between the Obama and Clinton campaigns.

AP Forgets to Mention Identity Thief Also Illegal Alien

I hate to say it, but for a news service that is supposed to thrive on the facts, the Associated Press sure seems to leave out an awful lot of them in their wire stories. We've seen dozens of examples of that when they conveniently forget to mention the political party affiliation when a public servant caught up in crime or scandal and happens to be a Democrat. We have also seen the AP somehow…
