NY Times Editorial Regurgitates Obama Attack on Obamacare 'Cynics'
June 14th, 2015 10:13 PM
The New York Times might resent the impression that they merely recycle and re-sell warmed-over Obama talking points, but James Taranto at The Wall Street Journal displayed the echo under the headline “Our Fearless Independent Press.”
Preelection FBI Study Team Admits Media Distorted It — 6 Months Later
June 13th, 2015 1:18 PM
In late September 2014, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released "A Study of Active Shooter Incidents in the United States, 2000-2013." To say the least, the report's issuance, timed six weeks before the midterm elections, and its topic ("a specific type of shooting situation law enforcement and the public may face") were curious. Given the press's inclination to sensationalize and…
Bozell & Graham Column: Ann Coulter Takes On Pro-Amnesty Media
May 30th, 2015 8:17 AM
Ann Coulter has another best-selling book coming out, provocatively titled Adios, America! The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole. One major target of Coulter barbs is our “objective” media.
Lord knows Coulter understands they deserve the hectoring. News reports are slavishly sensitive to the Latino Left’s political correctness. Start with the terminology. The factual…
Paper on ‘Changing Minds’ on Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ Retracted (Part 2)
May 28th, 2015 5:16 PM
As noted in my previous related post, one of the authors of a late-2014 study which made the nonsensical claim that “a single conversation (can) change minds on divisive social issues, such as same-sex marriage,” causing "a cascade of opinion change," issued a retraction last week, because the data supporting it was faked. Since it was published in Science Magazine — and because it conveniently…
Paper on ‘Changing Minds’ on Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ Retracted (Part 1)
May 28th, 2015 2:37 PM
"Science" has a problem — or more accurately stated, those who produce and publish "scienitific" studies — have a problem. Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet, one of the leading weekly peer-reviewed general medical journals, caused quite a stir last week when he said that "much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue." That may be an underestimate.
One of the more…
State Department Email Reveals Bizarre Touchy Feely Hillary Interview
May 22nd, 2015 6:14 PM
Oh Hillary! Can I ride on your lap to the White House? I know President Obama sends tingles up Chris Mathews' leg so can I go knee to knee with you and draw upon your energy? Oh Hillary...what do you eat? Drink? Dream about when you sleep?
Am I describing an awestruck liberal who goes dreamy eyed in the presence of Hillary Clinton? What if I were tell you that the scenario I just described…

May 19th, 2015 3:53 PM
A prominent American businessman said the media have unfairly “pounced” on recent data to slam Gov. Scott Walker’s employment policies in Wisconsin.

Networks Dodge and Downplay Poor Economic News, Break in IRS Scandal
April 30th, 2015 12:09 AM
In the Wednesday edition of bias by omission, five of the English and Spanish network evening newscasts again refused to report on a troubling sign for the U.S. economy while all six omitted any mention of a new development in the IRS scandal. After completely ignoring the story all together Wednesday morning, the CBS Evening News stepped up to mention that the U.S. economy has screeched to a…

10-1: Biggest U.S. Newspaper Editorials Lambast ‘Bigoted’ RFRA
April 7th, 2015 11:22 AM
One would think the editorial boards of the nations’ top newspapers – journalism’s brightest and best – wouldn't lightly throw around inflammatory language, slurs and insults.
But it appears that an Indiana law protecting the religious freedom of businesses and individuals is so beyond the pale it had the journalistic high-priests at many of America’s top 20 papers sputtering “bigot,” “…
Wall Street Journal Runs So-Called 'News Article' With Quote Mark Bias
April 4th, 2015 6:41 AM
Media watchers in the past week rightly have criticized multiple media outlets for suddenly deciding that religious freedom needs quotation marks, as in “religious freedom.” Leave it to the news pages of The Wall Street Journal, though, to use those quotation marks, which by their nature indicate that the very concept is in dispute, in the same story with the term gay rights published without…

Networks Say Nothing As Congressional Democrats Bully Climate Skeptics
March 20th, 2015 12:40 PM
Global warming alarmists have lost ground lately, but Congressional Democrats have implemented a new strategy: try to “silence” those with other views.
In separate instances, three Democratic senators and one Democratic representative have attempted to intimidate more than 100 companies, organizations and academics that diverge from the liberal view that climate change is catastrophic. The…
