Colby King Charges Tea Partiers Are Descendants of George Wallace and

“Today's Tea Party adherents are George Wallace legacies,” the Washington Post’s Colby King charged in his weekly Saturday column, maintaining “they have been culturally conditioned to believe they are entitled to do whatever they want, and to whomever they want, because they are the ‘real Americans,’ while all who don't think or look like them are not” and so, “without folks like them, there…

CNN Lowballs Nevada Tea Party Event: 'Hundreds of People, at Least Doz

If the media outlets are going to report on tea party events, they're not likely to get any benefit of the doubt much of the time. Case in point - at the Tea Party Express event on March 27 in Searchlight, Nev., which former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin spoke, CNN's Fredricka Whitfield wasn't quite prepared to give the rally credit it was due as far as participation. She estimated that hundreds, but…

Gutfeld: Media Only Like Protests If They Agree With Protesters

"Red Eye" host Greg Gutfeld on Saturday said the media's response to the nation's anger over healthcare reform was totally predictable."I've been down this road so many times I could navigate it blindfolded and covered in peanut butter," Gutfeld marvelously wrote at his blog. "It goes like this: for the media, anger is only okay if its targets meet their stereotypical, romanticized criteria.…

On PBS, Lehrer Asked Pelosi: Are Your Tactics a 'Model' for Major Legi

PBS NewsHour anchor Jim Lehrer interviewed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday night, and did not directly suggest to her that there was something suspicious in Cornhusker Kickbacks and deem-and-pass strategies. He began by simply asking: "Do you see the way you did health care reform as a model for enacting major legislation?"What kind of weird, passive question is that? Pelosi replied in…

Did you know that Republican Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts is "harassing" Rachel Maddow? Depends, of course, on how you define harassment. Liberals like Maddow are inclined toward the most flexible definition possible, especially when directed at those of less evolved politics. As far as Maddow is concerned, Brown is "harassing" her -- in other words, he's a criminal -- because Brown…

How Are Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert 'Modern-Day Prophets' for Chri

Unsurprisingly, the Washington Post granted editorial-page space on Saturday to leftist Jim Wallis to vent against Glenn Beck for opposing "social justice." But here's the weirdest part: Journalists, cable and radio talk shows, and even Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have reported on or spoofed Beck's attempt to discredit this concept. Even the left-wing comedians have spoofed Beck? And yet, I…

Lib Talker Malloy Calls for Deaths of Limbaugh, Beck and O'Reilly

As the mainstream media hyperventilate over what is now regularly being referred to as rightwing hate speak, liberal talk radio host Mike Malloy Friday actually called for conservative talkers Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Bill O'Reilly to commit suicide."You rat bastards are going to cause another Murrah federal building explosion," said Malloy. "[M]aybe at that point Beck will do the honorable…

CNN Uses Misleading Headline to Further Smear James O’Keefe (Update

(March 27th, 10:06 a.m. -- Please see update at the end of the post.)What is the first step in the main stream media's handbook of liberal bias?  Why, alter the headline to fit your agenda, of course.To say that CNN was misleading in their headline about James O'Keefe is to be kind: Feds punish ACORN filmmaker?  Seems an odd choice of headline considering the article itself does not mention any…
