Shameless Bill: Hillary's Press Coverage 'Slanted and Rude

December 5th, 2007 6:07 AM
Hillary Clinton, victim of an unfair press? Bill certainly thinks so. Associated Press writer Philip Elliott reported: "Bill Clinton said Tuesday that if reporters covered the candidates' public records better, his wife's presidential bid would be far ahead of her rivals. During a campaign stop on behalf of his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former president said he can't…

December 4th, 2007 10:47 AM
An aide for Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) was arrested last Friday for attempting to sexually exploit a minor. I guess you didn't hear about this in the middle of Hillary Clinton looking so regal and presidential during the hostage takeover in New Hampshire.Could that be why this seedy story was hushed-up for three days? While you ponder, the Associated Press finally reported Monday (h/t…

December 3rd, 2007 12:49 PM
The Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post are all referring to a package of recently-defeated Venezuelan constitutional amendments as "reforms."

At Last, AP to Enter the Internet Age with 'AP Version

December 3rd, 2007 10:27 AM
Al Gore must've gotten to the Associated Press and introduced to them his invention, the Internet, because they have announced a refit for the new news age. The New York Times spins some coverage for the venerable news wire service's newest venture, even taking the chance to extend a compliment for AP's creation of the "24-hour news cycle" (I know, that one made my head turn, too). So, at last…

AP Fawns Over Hillary’s 'Presidential' Handling of Hostage Crisis

December 1st, 2007 2:36 PM
Democrat Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton was hundreds of miles from a hostage crisis that occurred at a campaign facility in Rochester, New Hampshire, Friday, and had absolutely nothing to do with the matter's resolution. Yet, the Associated Press - almost as if parroting talking points from one of Hillary's campaign workers - managed to not only give her credit for what local officials…

Global Warming and the Tax the Rich Scheme

December 1st, 2007 1:48 PM
Have you noticed the genie concerning the real modus operandi behind climate alarmism beginning to peek its head out of the bottle lately? After the United Nations announced earlier in the week that rich countries - code for America, of course - are going to have to pay billions of dollars to help poor nations deal with global warming, several international press outlets published articles of…

Hillary's '$50 Billion to Avoid Paying Claims' Is a Claim Debunked

December 1st, 2007 8:12 AM
Journalism's defenders often describe it as a profession or craft unto itself, and minimize the importance, or even sometimes the relevance, of subject matter expertise. That lack of subject matter expertise, and the apparent unwillingness to seek out a source of that expertise when necessary, probably explain how a Hillary Clinton whopper has survived on the campaign trail for so long. In a…

Work Nights, Eat Salt and Die

November 30th, 2007 8:25 AM
So that's why they call it "the graveyard shift."There's little the MSM likes more than to report the latest thing that's bad for us. Today's news brings a double-header of doom: night shifts and salt.First, the AP reports that the UN's World Health Organization will soon list working the night shift "as a 'probable' cause of cancer."Then Reuters informs us that the Center for Science in the…

MSM Laughs Along As Chris Rock Tells Harlem Crowd Not to Vote for 'Tha

November 30th, 2007 7:15 AM
A conservative comedian [yes, there are some], appears at a venue in a heavily-white suburb at a campaign event for a white candidate and tells his audience composed overwhelmingly of people of pallor they'd be embarrassed if they supported a black candidate and the white candidate won, saying "Oh no. I can't call him now. I had that black guy. What was I thinking?"What are the odds the MSM…

AP Claims Discrimination Against Mexicans in Illinois, Offers NO Proof

November 28th, 2007 3:40 AM
According to the Associated Press, folks who are "foreign-born" are "newcomers" who "feel anything but welcome" in the Chicago suburb of Waukegan, Illinois. The AP piece leads the reader to imagine that several of the town's laws have been specifically written to chase out Mexicans and that the immigrant community (legal or otherwise) in Waukegan is feeling pressure to get out. Yet, upon close…

UN Coming After Your Wallet to Solve Global Warming

November 27th, 2007 2:44 PM
As NewsBusters has been reporting for many months, one of the key elements to the advancement of global warming hysteria is money, in particular, taking it from those that have to give to those that don't.Of course, during this time, the media have been less than forthcoming concerning this inconvenient truth. A fine example of where all this alarm is heading was surprisingly reported by the…
