Montana Paper Documents Failures of Socialized Medicine on Indian Rese
Something tells me Karen Ogden doesn't have a future in health care reporting in any large mainstream media publication or network. In the July 23 edition of her paper, the Great Falls Tribune editor took a sobering look at painkiller addictions and the black market for the narcotics on American Indian reservations in Montana. "Free" socialized medicine and the long wait times for surgery were…
Daily Kos Founder Issues Warning Concerning ‘Nasty Rhetoric
Is Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas growing weary of the vitriol being expressed at his blog? It appears so, as without explaining what incidents precipitated the need for such, Moulitsas posted a warning to his readers Monday referring to "nasty rhetoric" that is "rampant in the primary war diaries." Maybe Charles Johnson was prescient Sunday when he wrote, "Just doesn't look right to be…
More Al Gore Hypocrisy: ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ Wasn’t Carbon Ne
At some point in time, it seems logical that the name of the Democrat Party must be changed to the Do As I Say, Not As I Do Party. In another fine example of such hypocrisy, it appears that despite claims by Al Gore that all of the CO2 emitted into the air as a result of the production of his schlockumentary "An Inconvenient Truth" were offset with carbon credits, nothing can be further from the…
WashPost Interviewer Gives SUV Owners Little Respect
In the July 22 Washington Post, writer Monica Hesse interviewed Ron DeFore of the SUV Owners of America (SUVOA), for her Style section front-pager, "A Man Who Wants SUVs to Get More R-E-S-P-E-C-T." But far from respect, Hesse's interview at turns shifted from an almost "Daily Show"-like mockery to an unqualified parroting of liberal talking points. You can find her interview here, but I found…
NYT's New Democrat Campaign Slogan: It’s NOT The Economy, Stupid
In 1992, Bill Clinton successfully used a campaign strategy of continually focusing attention on the supposedly poor economy thinking that Americans typically vote with their wallets. Of course, most intelligent people know that the recession actually ended in early 1991, and that this strategy would have failed miserably had the media not been complicit, and, instead, honestly reported…
Female President on ‘24’ Not a Plus For Hillary Clinton
Be honest: when you saw the news Sunday that a woman was going to be president in the next season of the hit series "24," you smelled something akin to when ABC made a similar announcement concerning "Commander in Chief," and CBS hired Katie Couric. Well, according to Politico, the failure of both is actually not good news for Hillary Clinton (h/t Hot Air). But, before we get there, what…
'Mouse-Pushing Crackpot'? WashPost Scours Anti-Amnesty Blogger
For all of those lefties who were enraged at Howard Kurtz granting publicity to conservative blogger Michelle Malkin a few months ago, they can now rest easy. On the front page of Sunday’s Washington Post, reporter Nick Miroff warned that a conservative "mouse-pushing crackpot" was tapping into ire against illegal immigrants – or more precisely, Miroff writes that he can’t be dismissed as a…
