Press Mostly Ignores Hillary's Praise of Australia's Gun Confiscation

October 17th, 2015 11:21 PM
The establishment press is mostly ignoring what Hillary Clinton said about gun control at a New Hampshire town hall meeting on Friday morning. Searches on "Clinton Australia" (not in quotes), attempting to find her statement that a massive, coercive gun "buyback" such as that seen in the Land Down Under almost 20 years ago "would be worth considering doing it on the national level," indicate that…

October 17th, 2015 8:17 PM
D. Watkins has written at Salon.com for about 1-1/2 years. In his previous columns, he has shown that he fits right in with the "white privilege and oppression of blacks explains everything" crowd. Friday (HT Twitchy), he went into uncharted territory, seriously suggesting that no American should be able to own a gun until they "know the pain of getting hit" (bolds are mine):

MSNBC Uses Discredited Map Showing 'Palestine' Land Shrinkage

October 17th, 2015 12:29 PM
Based on a map presented during a recent MSNBC broadcast, I'm left wondring why there's all this hand-wringing over a "two state solution" in the Middle East. After all, according to that MSNBC map and the host of the program involved, "Palestine" has been around for almost 70 years, existing since 1946 (HT Sooper Mexican at the Right Scoop):

Maine Food Stamp Enrollment Declines; AP Ignores Work Requirement

October 16th, 2015 10:03 PM
A week ago (late on a Friday afternoon, naturally), the Obama administration released food stamp enrollment figures for July. Despite millions of Americans finding work during the past several years, the data continued a national trend of little to no meaningful decline in enrollment. Seasonally adjusted Household Survey employment is now 148.8 million, slightly above its prerecession November…

NYT Critic: 'Truth' Is 'Beautifully Executed Journalistic Thriller'

October 16th, 2015 7:44 PM
The New York Times has not merely climbed aboard the bandwagon of Truth, which exalts the fraudulent September 2004 CBS 60 Minutes report about President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard Service. It's now serving as the film's de facto lead apologist. The most recent example demonstrating how deeply in the tank the Old Gray Lady has gone is Stephen Holden's Thursday film review…

McArdle: 'A Marshmallow Planet' More Likely Than Truth in 'Truth'

October 16th, 2015 12:50 AM
The disgraceful determination of Hollywood to rewrite history not favorable to the left, its causes and its personalities has perhaps reached its nadir with the laughably misnamed movie Truth. The film is about Dan Rather's September 2004 60 Minutes report on President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard Service during the 1970s. In Rather's words, "The nuanced, not preachy, script makes…

The New York Times admitted on Thursday that a staff writer's F-word attack on former Governor Jeb Bush was out of step with their standards. Politco's Hadas Gold and Marc Caputo quoted an unnamed spokesperson for the liberal newspaper who labeled the now-deleted Twitter post from Philip B.

October 14th, 2015 11:07 PM
Democratic National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has insisted that she consulted with all of her vice-chairs before deciding on the number of Democratic presidential primary debates would be held.

CNNMoney Email Touts 'Most Ever' Dem Audience — 40% Below GOP's

October 14th, 2015 2:19 PM
The last thing the press wants low-information voters to learn is that there has been far more interest in the contest for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination than there has been in the Democrats'. That disparity has naturally carried over into the size of the audience watching the respective parties' debates. Despite months of buildup to the first left-side debate of the season and…

Latest Fairness Crisis: Breakfast Sandwich Inequality

October 13th, 2015 8:28 PM
Life is so unfair. "The rich" live in nicer places, have nicer amenities, drive nicer cars, etc., etc. Here's the last straw: Now they even have better breakfast sandwiches. But never fear: The press's inequality police are on patrol to supply the outrage.

As Limbaugh Demonstrates: The Media’s Lockstep Leftist Talking Points

October 13th, 2015 8:42 AM
We’ve time and again seen the media receive their messaging orders  - and then march off all mouthing the Leftist talking point(s) of the day.  Washington, D.C.-based talk radio host Chris Plante quotes a military friend of his describing the media not as a gaggle, but as a centipede.  Multitudinous legs in coordinated movement - all headed in the same direction.  Talk radio impresario Rush…

The writer later touted that "asthma didn't keep him from embracing the…

NY Times Backs Away From Doubting Jewish Temples' Existence

October 10th, 2015 9:42 AM
In an October 8 item at the New York Times ("Historical Certainty Proves Elusive at Jerusalem’s Holiest Place"), reporter Rick Gladstone pretended that it's an open question as to "whether" the two Jewish temples — one destroyed over 2,500 years ago and the second razed in roughly 60 A.D., ever existed on the 37-acre site known as the Temple Mount. In doing so, Gladstone gave credibility to…
