On Thursday night, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC each covered the news that the United States-backed government in Yemen had fallen after rebels stormed the capital city of Sana’a and surrounded the presidential palace on Tuesday.  While the networks gave this story airtime, they only gave it to the tune of one minute and 59 seconds and avoided any mention of how President Obama had, just…

Those 'Mythical' Paris No-Go Zones: Recognized by NY Times, NBC, TNR

January 22nd, 2015 1:03 PM
The leftist press's truth squads apparently believe they have successfully intimidated any news organization which henceforth wants to be considered respectable from ever again referring to any Muslim-heavy enclave in Europe as a "no-go zone," regardless of the facts and circumstances. Snopes.com, the self-appointed, almost invariably left-driven debunker of supposed "urban legends," doesn't…

January 19th, 2015 7:36 PM

January 18th, 2015 12:23 AM
Howard Kurtz, the Fox News analyst and the host of its "Media Buzz" program, made a few pertinent observations in a column about Victor Paul Alvarez's astonishingly crass attempt at humor at Boston.com earlier this week.

Is Shep Smith Saying Paris Gunmen Are Muslim As McVeigh Was Christian?

January 9th, 2015 7:54 PM
Maybe it's just my imagination, but it sounds like Fox News's Shepard Smith is suggesting that the Muslim fanatics involved in the Charlie Hebdo massacre were motivated by religion in much the same manner as that notorious Christian extremist, Timothy McVeigh.
