At least one mainstream media outlet on the other side of the pond engages in the sort of pro-abortion journalistic malfeasance we've grown accustomed to in the U.S.
In Ireland, where the battle is particularly fierce at the moment to protect the sanctity of life on an emerald isle surrounded by a sea of abortion, The Irish Times is involved in several cover-ups to prop upthe other side, as…

Ann Coulter Column: Some Bad Inventions We Could Do Without
I am bored with politics, refuse to pay attention to the news and am watching only True Crime TV shows and Turner Classic Movies these days. With the Democrats controlling the Senate and presidency, nothing good can possibly come out of Washington for at least another two years.

Networks Trumpeted Obama's Pledge to Veto Backtracking on Spending Cut
Over 13 months ago, the NBC, CBS and ABC newscasts touted Barack Obama as a tough talker who wouldn't back down on threatened spending cuts. Now, that he's backed down, the same networks have ignored the President's retreat.
