Very frightening, I think, what the media was able to get away with this go round.So said Alaska Governor Sarah Palin at the beginning of John Ziegler's must-see documentary "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted." After a nicely spliced introduction that included many of the disgraceful moments NewsBusters reported throughout the campaign, just before the opening…

I mean it's embarrassing to watch.” Gingrich cited a series of subjects on…

Amy Davidson of the New Yorker should take up bowling or gardening because history doesn't seem to be her thang, if you will.
