Sarah Kliff Forced to Perform Another ObamaCare 'Oops

October 21st, 2013 12:03 PM
Oops! Sarah Kliff of the Washington Post has been forced to perform yet another ObamaCare Oops! When last we encountered the Polyanna ObamaCare cheerleader Kliff she was claiming that young people were among the more enthusiastic ObamaCare shoppers based on evidence that ranged from nil to none. This empty claim came on the heels of her previous ObamaCare Oops when Kliff, after hailing one…

E.J. Dionne: 'The Era of the Tea Party Is Over

October 20th, 2013 12:57 PM
How many times in the past five years have you heard a liberal media member declare the Tea Party dead? It happened again on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday with Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne claiming, "I think that the era of the far right and the era of the Tea Party is over" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

‘Inside Washington’ Ends Program Calling Ted Cruz a Joe McCarthy-L

October 19th, 2013 2:36 PM
This wasn’t the first time liberal media members likened Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) to Joe McCarthy or called him a demagogue. But it didn't seem appropriate for PBS’s Inside Washington to end its program Friday on such a defamatory and arguably false note regarding a sitting senator (video follows with transcript and commentary):

WashPost Notes Western States Want to Own, Control More National Park

October 18th, 2013 5:43 PM
Western states where a majority of land is owned by the federal government were disproportionately harmed by the closure of national park lands during the partial government shutdown. Local economies in those states suffered as small businesses dependent on tourism to those parks took a big hit. Some of those states kicked in donations to reopen a few parks during the shutdown, you may recall…

Fareed Zakaria Lectures Conservatives to 'Lighten Up,' Hits the 'Extre

October 18th, 2013 11:05 AM
Hours after President Obama lectured Republicans about governing, CNN boosted his agenda by ordering conservatives and the Tea Party to "lighten up" on Thursday's The Situation Room. "So while the President is calling for a change in behavior and tone here in Washington, listen to this from CNN's Fareed Zakaria writing in today's Washington Post. He takes direct aim at what he calls the…

WashPost Front-page Lecture: GOP Must Save Itself from 'Self-Destructi

October 18th, 2013 8:40 AM
The Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty is trying to help the Republicans on the front page of Friday’s paper. It's not labeled "Analysis," but "Politics Debrief." The alliance between the “agreeable” GOP and the media is getting more transparent. “What will it take to save the Republicans from the self-destructive impulses of the tea party movement? That the government shutdown was a political…

WashPost In Gloating Mode: Elephant Waves White Flag as 'Far Right Fla

October 17th, 2013 2:08 PM
The Washington Post was in Gloating Mode on Thursday against Republicans. The front page of the free Express tabloid showed an elephant’s trunk waving a white flag. The headline: "IT'S OVER. FOR NOW." (Somehow, they failed to show Obama waving a white flag when he “solved” Syria’s chemical-weapons problem.) On page 3 was a nasty Associated Press article by Donna Cassata on how a selfish Ted Cruz…

Networks Hype Threat of Default, But Were Wrong about ‘Fiscal Cliff

October 16th, 2013 11:18 AM
Between the government shut down and the debt ceiling limit about to be crossed Oct. 17, the news media is screaming like the house is on fire. The Obama administration has also warned of dangers. Of course, that’s nothing new. In many cases following the Obama administration’s reports and threats, the networks were hysterical in their coverage of the “fiscal cliff” and the sequester in late…

1 Year, 32,000 Words: WaPo’s Campaign Against Redskins 7x Longer tha

October 15th, 2013 8:59 AM
The Washington Post was once the paper that brought down a president. These days, what with the industry in decline and a Democrat in the White House, the Post has a more modest goal – to be the paper that brought down a mascot. Nobody has done more to agitate for the Washington Redskins to change their name to something more politically correct. In just the last year, October 2012 – October…

Hypocrisy Alert: WashPost Puts Race-related Lawsuits on Page One -- Un

October 13th, 2013 7:02 PM
Media outlets see themselves as brave souls reporting on racial discrimination inside greedy corporations. On June 12, The Washington Post made a front-page story out of a suit against BMW and Dollar General by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for “indirectly discriminating against African Americans by using criminal background checks to screen out workers.” At FrontPage magazine,…

Grasping at Straws: WaPo Writer Claims Young People Starting to Sign U

October 12th, 2013 10:35 AM
If Washington Post writer, Sarah Kliff, of the WonkBlog had been the music director aboard the Titanic, the last tune played on the deck of the sinking ship would probably have been Happy Days Are Here Again. I make that claim because Ms Kliff has taken upon herself the role as pollyannish cheerleader for the "train wreck" known as ObamaCare. In her latest desperate search for a nonexistent…

Miss America More Important to Media than Fed Nominee

October 9th, 2013 2:22 PM
The next Federal Reserve Chairman will be Janet Yellen. President Barack Obama plans to nominate her on Oct. 9. Ahead of the announcement, Yellen, the liberal Fed vice chairman, was considered the most likely candidate to replace Ben Bernanke ever since Larry Summers, her chief rival for the nomination, bowed out of the race on Sept. 16. She was a frontrunner even before Summers’ withdrawal.…

WashPost Boosts Amnesty Rally on the 'Otherwise Shutdown' Mall Without

October 9th, 2013 8:17 AM
The Washington Post typically boosted a leftist rally for amnesty for illegal immigrants, with one major difference – they utterly ignored the hypocrisy of the Obama administration and the National Park Service closing open spaces in Washington, unless a left-wing protest was scheduled. The Post promoted the rally in a story on A-4 with three photographs and a story on the front page of the…
