Cindy Sheehan Thinks 'Empire' Faked Osama Takedown: Will Chris Matthew
Remember back in 2005, when the major media turned Cindy Sheehan into their anti-Bush heroine of the moment? They never seemed to notice her statements made her sound like a very anti-American radical fruitcake. On August 15, 2005 (video here), Sheehan went on Hardball and told Chris Matthews the U.S. was using Iraq "as a base for spreading imperialism." An impressed Matthews suggested: "You…

Liberal Policies Lose on a Day America Wins
Sunday was an historic day for America, an historic victory in the War on Terror - Usama Bin Laden, the man who had ordered the death of over 3,000 Americans on 9/11, had finally been killed.

Al Gore Tells Time Magazine Global Warming Skeptics Just As Dim As Bir
Former vice president Al Gore is as eager as your average liberal on the street in wanting to explore resistance to the persuasiveness of global warming theories. The first problem? If conservatives are so thick in the head, why does the rest of the public need pictures, not just mere words?
In a supportive interview with Bryan Walsh in Time magazine, Gore explained "Years ago I shifted from…

Mainstream Media Try to Pour Cold Water on John Paul II Beatification
Several media outlets on Sunday did their best to cast doubt on the legacy of Pope John Paul II as the Catholic Church beatified the late pontiff. NPR highlighted how the pope apparently "alienated many Catholics who began leaving the church in droves." CNN brought on a liberal theologian who claimed that John Paul II "led us backwards rather than forward." NBC played up the "avalanche of…

On Osama's Death Day, Chris Matthews Waits Just 43 Seconds to Launch I
Chris Matthews' obsession with birthers didn't take a break on the day after the killing of Osama bin Laden. Only 43 seconds into Monday's show on the terrorist, the Hardball anchor connected, "Barack Obama. The cool hand directs the operation step by step. All this time, the crazies were talking birth certificates, he was working."
Politicizing the death of the man who murdered 3000 people…

AP: Secret Prisons and Harsh Interrogation Techniques Worked; Will TV
Update (17:38 EDT on May 4): Rush Limbaugh mentioned this post on his May 3 program. You can listen to that by clicking here.
Well, this should be interesting.

CNN In 2002: 'Al Qaeda Leader Is Dead or Alive
CNN is finally vindicated, sort of. Nearly nine years ago, the network emphatically declared of Osama bin Laden: "Experts Agree: Al Qaeda Leader Is Dead or Alive."
Which would pretty much cover all of the available possibilities. Now we know -- he was alive back then, and he's dead today.
Here's the item from the September 4, 2002 CyberAlert (as written at the time by MRC's Brent Baker)…

NYT's John Broder Provides Obama Political Cover Over High Gas Prices
New York Times environmental reporter John Broder, who writes like a firm believer in human-induced global warming, provided a little political cover for Obama in his front-page story Saturday on rising gas prices, "Gas Cost Spurs Fight Over End Of a Tax Break."
The problem is more than perception. As Julia Seymour of the Business and Media Institute reported, on April 25 the average price…

Richard Clarke on ABC: bin Laden Killing 'Doesn't Mean Much' for U.S
The day after terrorist Osama bin Laden was killed in a U.S. military action, Good Morning America brought on consultant Richard Clarke to downplay the death as a "propaganda victory" that will "make us feel good," but won't "mean much" for U.S. security."

Your Tax Dollars at CPB: Pacifica Radio Airs Radical Saying 'bin-Laden
Taxpayer-funded Pacifica Radio receives around $1.5 million a year in funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It has a nasty habit of being especially radical on conventionally patriotic occasions. On Memorial Day 2010, Pacifica brought on radical Noam Chomsky to denounce "the great killer and torturer" and "grand criminal" Ronald Reagan. The morning after Independence Day in 2010…
