Bias by Labeling: WashPost's Kumar Notes 'Women's PAC to Take On 'Anti

Much of the media's liberal bias is furthered by presenting political controversies such that they pit a non-ideological group versus an ideological one, most often of course the ideological group being conservative in nature. Take the Washington Post's Virginia legislature correspondent Anita Kumar, who informed readers in an 11-paragraph item on page B2 of today's paper that a "Women's PAC…

Jon Stewart: Fox News Reporting Debt, Unemployment and High Gas Prices

Comedian Jon Stewart apparently thinks the economy is just fine and that any news outlet that says otherwise must be doing it because they don't want President Obama to get reelected. Even more preposterous, on Tuesday's Daily Show, the host did an entire segment on how Fox News reporting the national debt, unemployment, and rising gas prices is all a Republican National Committee conspiracy…

Two big topics of discussion that arose yesterday: Michigan and Arizona both delivered victories to GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney over his opponents.

NYT's David Brooks Goes Off Deep End with Ludicrous 'First They Came

In Tuesday's New York Times print edition, supposed in-house conservative David Brooks ended his column bemoaning how the Republican base (nicknamed "wingers," who are "Republicans on the extreme") is ruining the "mainstream" Grand Old Party by violating a Godwin's Law corollary, namely (rephrased for columnists) that whoever inappropriately alludes to the Nazi era in German automatically fails…

Did Morning Joe Bore Michael Steele To Sleep

Morning Joe likes to think of itself as the most scintillating three hours on morning TV.  But did the show have a soporific effect on Michael Steele? When the camera cut to him today at 7:50 ET today, Steele appeared to be, well, I believe the polite term is "resting his eyes." Hat tip NB reader Susan J, who points out Steele is due considerable slack since he was up late doing primary…

Our Latest Experiment in Subsidized Art: 'Miss Chief Eagle Testickle

Washington's taxpayer-subsidized museums have become regular forums for the gay agenda in art. First there was "Hide/Seek" mocking Jesus on the cross at the National Portrait Gallery, followed by a Gertrude Stein-honoring exhibit at the same gallery featuring a photo of three nude black dancers and their "erotic alliance" with their choreographer.  The gay D.C. magazine Metro Weekly is touting…

Joan Walsh Attacks Mitt Romney's Faith on Twitter

CNN a few weeks ago suspended Roland Martin for making homophobic comments on Twitter. Will MSNBC consider Salon editor-at-large Joan Walsh's attack on Mitt Romney's faith Tuesday equally offensive?

Richard Who? AP, NYT, Others Ignore MIT's Lindzen As He 'Pwns' Global

As is the case with so much that is being reported in other countries about how much of the rest of the world is walking itself back from the extreme statist agenda supposedly necessitated by "climate change," a presentation at the British House of Commons made by MIT Professor Richard Lindzen, whom James Delingpole at the UK Telegraph describes as "one of the world's greatest atmospheric…
