TNT’s ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ Demonizes Fracking
The new villain, same as the old villain, but with a twist.

Frank Rich: Obama Should 'Nuke' Romney With Attack Ads Like LBJ's 'Dai
The most toxic and notorious political ad in history was Lyndon Johnson's "Daisy" commercial used against Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater in 1964.

Leading Language Indicator? Three Earth Summit-Related AP Reports Don
It may be a fluke, but it seems too coincidental. What it may be is a leading indicator that the establishment press and international advocates of global wealth redistribution have figured out that "global warming" and "climate change," its deceptive substitute term, have lost their luster thanks to a lack of scientific rigor, scandals, and deception.

Nigerian Violence: AP, Reuters Won't Label Boko Haram a Muslim Terrori
It would appear that the establishment press is determined to portray a "both sides are at fault" equivalency as much as possible in Nigeria where almost none exists.
Earlier today, Patrick Poole at the PJ Tatler pointed out that a brief initial Associated Press item from Lagos would cause a person, in Poole's words, to "come away mystified as to why these churches were subject to apparently…
George Will Takes on Media’s ‘Ronald Reagan Couldn’t Win in Toda
“About twenty years after a conservative leaves the scene or dies, he becomes acceptable,” to the media-left, George Will observed on Sunday’s This Week. “They say, if only people were more like Ronald Reagan and that wonderful libertarian curmudgeon Barry Goldwater.” Will recalled: “I worked for Bill Buckley, voted for Barry Goldwater and knew Ronald Reagan and no one talked about them on the…
