AP: 'Not So Clear' That Israel Is Democratic

The pundit class in the U.S. and much of the rest of the world is still seething over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's electoral triumph last week. On Monday, Dan Perry at the Associated Press took that hysteria to a new level, in effect attempting to discredit Bibi's win by writing that, after all, it may not really be correct to call Israel a democracy. That's because "Palestinians" who are…

Nets Omit Mention of Susan Rice Praising Bowe Bergdahl in June 2014

In their coverage of desertion charges filed against U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, the major broadcast networks on Wednesday night failed to mention that National Security Advisor Susan Rice had praised Bergdahl for serving “with honor and distinction.” Standing in sharp contrast to this glaring omission by the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC, the clip of Rice’s claim on the June 1, 2014…

ABC's David Muir Is a Propagandist Pretty Boy, Not a Newsman

It's possible that Muir knew his Ferguson recap last week was a complete lie and decided his best course was to promote the left-leaning agenda of ABC News. He's a pretty face spouting the same old propaganda.

Ironic: NYT Finds America's Cuba Network Lacking 'Balance, Fairness'

The front page of Wednesday's New York Times featured Lizette Alvarez's "Out of Cold War Past, Broadcasts to Cuba Face an Uneasy Future." For conservative fans of hypocritical liberal media irony, the text box is a keeper: "Accusations of a lack of balance, fairness and objectivity." This from the liberal fortress known as the Times.

As Durable Goods Deterioration Continues, AP Hides the Decline

The Census Burau's February Durable Goods report, released at 8:30 a.m. today, "unexpectedly" (Bloomberg did the U-word honors) came in with a seasonally adjusted 1.4 percent decline compared to the 0.2 increase analysts expected.

Bowe Bergdahl on Wednesday's CNN Newsroom, just minutes after the U.S. Army announced that the former captive would be charged with desertion.

NY Times Writer Wonders if Bowe Bergdahl Will Get Honorable Discharge

It was announced today that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was swapped last year for five Guantanmao prisoners, has been charged with desertion. So what is the major concern for New York Times writer Helene Cooper?
