December 17th, 2008 8:46 AM
It looks like the best thing about the movie "Che" is the absolutely devastating but hilarious review given to you by New York Post writer Kyle Smith.

Rupert Murdoch has his critics - from those who think his papers are too tabloid-ish - The Sun, The New York Post - to those who find his cable television networks too right-leaning for their tastes.

Which "View" co-host receives, on average, the most death threats? Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd coming from racially motivated individuals? Nope.

Newspaper Circulations in 3-Year Plunge, with Four Exceptions
May 1st, 2008 10:27 AM
Old Media business reporters have a definitionally-incorrect habit of labeling single industries or economic sectors as being "in recession," when the term, as defined here, can only describe national economies or the world economy. Two examples of this are New York Times reporter David Leonhardt's description of manufacturing as being in recession in February 2007 (laughably incorrect, in any…

April 13th, 2008 10:00 PM
If recent polls and rumors are correct, two of America's most prominent women are about to go down in flames, conceivably at virtually the same moment in history.Predictably, the left and their media minions seem destined to blame it all on men.Think that's sexist of me?
