WaPo Hawking $300 Online 'Master Class' Course on Economic Literacy
The Washington Post hopes you may want to "Widen Your World," with online "Master Class" courses that cost $200-$300 a pop.
For example, there's Steven Pearlstein's "Introduction to Economic Literacy."
[Lesson number one: don't spend $300 to have a liberal journalist lecture you.]
Budding oenophiles can bone up on "The Wines of Bordeaux" with Joseph Ward, which you may need after…
WaPo Editorial Writer: 'Newt Established Great Future for Himself as D
After his performance on Sunday's "Meet the Press," Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is taking hits from media members on both sides of the aisle.
A few minutes after conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer declared the former House Speaker's campaign "over," one of the Washington Post's editorial writers told "Special Report's" Bret Baier, "I think Newt established a great…
Notable Quotables: Thrilled by Obama's ‘Almost Biblical’ Success
Rounding out the news of the past couple of weeks, the media elite struck two contradictory themes — with journalists saluting the “courage,”“guts” and “cool hand” of Barack Obama in ordering the mission that killed Osama bin Laden, even as the liberal media were “repelled” and “appalled” by the “vulgar” and “idiotic” celebrations of everyday Americans to the news of the terrorist leader’s…
WaPo: Convicted Drunk Driver May Run for Local Office After Finishing
Two years ago he lost his job as Alexandria [Va.] police chief on a drunk driving charge.
Now David Baker is considering running for local office in the northern Virginia city.
Allison Klein of the Washington Post has a gauzy story about Baker's penance for his crime on page B1 of the May 16 paper. In paragraph seven Klein briefly alluded to Baker's party affiliation:
WaPo Critic Hails Novel 'Re-Imagining' Jesus As Bisexual Free-love Adv
Novelist and infamous liar James Frey has a new novel out, "The Final Testament of The Holy Bible," which he pompously holds forth as a "theoretical third volume of the Bible" that conceives of a second coming of the Christ in the person of "an alcoholic bisexual living in the Bronx who impregnates prostitutes, titillates priests and becomes the ultimate seducer himself," John Murray of the…
Greenland to Hillary Clinton: We Like Global Warming, Thank You Very M
Global warming has been kind to Greenland, expanding tourism and with it economic opportunity and giving farmers a growing season long enough for vegetables.
But it sure makes it a bit awkward when Hillary Clinton comes there to clamor about the dangers of climate change.
From Joby Warrick's page A6 story (emphasis mine):
Gainor Column: Over 30 Major News Organizations Linked to George Soros
First of Four Parts
When liberal investor George Soros gave $1.8 million to National Public Radio, it became part of the firestorm of controversy that jeopardized NPR's federal funding. But that gift only hints at the widespread influence the controversial billionaire has on the mainstream media. Soros, who spent $27 million trying to defeat President Bush in 2004, has ties to more than…
WaPo Buries Opposition to Tuition Bill; Baltimore Sun Paints GOP Criti
Yesterday liberal Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley (D) signed into law a measure allowing illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities.
Covering the story today, the Washington Post offered this bland print edition headline on page B1: "O'Malley signs bill allowing immigrant tuition breaks."
The move "bucks trend in other states" and a "showdown…
WaPo Poll: 62% of Virginians Approve of GOP Governor; Paper Shuffles S
A new Washington Post poll of Virginians finds that Old Dominion voters are optimistic about the direction of the state, approve of the job of their conservative governor, and are divided on the question of same-sex marriage.
Guess how the Post handled reporting the results.
That's right, the paper hyped the same-sex marriage numbers on A1 but shuffled the good news for McDonnell over to…
WaPo Hearts Bleed Over Leaking Bradley Manning, But They Can't Place H
Sunday’s Washington Post Magazine carried a cover story that oozed with compassion for radical-left WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning. Just as they did in last August's "antiwar hero" story, the Post utterly failed to locate Manning and his supporters on the far left. They were merely "free-information activists." They were the same kind of folks who wanted America to lose the Vietnam War, like…
WaPo Editor's Liberal Tweets Again Belie Paper's Claims of Neutrality
In late 2009, the Washington Post's response to a tweet from its managing editor that betrayed a clear left-leaning worldview was to censor all of its employees for fear that they might betray their (gasp) opinions. A more sensible policy might have been to acknowledge that the paper is staffed by people who are, for the most part, liberals.
The same managing editor, Raju Narisetti - who has…
NYT Uses False Jessica Lynch Narrative to Call for WH Honesty on Bin L
"Let's Clear the Fog of War," suggested Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Timothy Egan in a recent blog post for the New York Times. Egan criticized the White House's decision to simply stop talking about what happened at the compound where Osama bin Laden was killed on Sunday night. "They owe us a complete story, an honesty story, one for the record," Egan wrote.
But in calling for truth, Egan…
Wash Post Devotes a Staggering 6,228 Words to 'Nuanced' Maine Senators
According to the Washington Post, examining every detail of the relationship between moderate Republican Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins is worth devoting an exhausting 6228 words to. Writer Martha Sherrill offered a fawning analysis of the two senators who often frustrate conservatives.
The near book-length profile investigated the apparent dislike the senators have for each other…
WaPo 'On Faith' Panelist: Celebrate Mother's Day with Family Planning
Mother's Day is around the corner. While the rest of us are agonizing over what to give mom on her special day, the Washington Post religion website "On Faith" sees it as another excuse to bash conservatives for trying to defund Planned Parenthood.
"This Mother's Day, support family planning," urges the teaser headline for Debra Haffner's May 6 post (see below page break for screen capture).
