Welcome once again to our top ten most left-biased working journalist list and now it’s time for number five in the countdown.

A Misleading Story on ‘Facts’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On July 11, the Boston Globe featured a story on “facts” and how people just don’t seem to want to hear them when they intersect with closely held political opinions. The story has some interesting points to make, points that seem quite sensible, but there is no escaping the fact that the whole story is […]

 

For All Teachers’ Whining, Almost Half of Chicago Area Teachers Make $100K a Year

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As the Obama economy tumbles farther and farther down into depression, as states begin to face the reality of a budget crunch that can only be solved by layoffs of public employees, and as teachers find they are open to those layoffs, we commonly hear teachers claim that they are perennially underpaid and don’t deserve […]

 

7 Things The GOP Can Do For The Right Side Of The Blogosphere

Posted on by John Hawkins

On a semi-regular basis, I get asked by Republican “new media” staffers how the GOP can better work with the Rightroots. As a general rule, I find that these new media staffers are well meaning, get the blogosphere, and have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done. Unfortunately, these very same new […]

 

AGW Today: Time For Another Unhinged Lecture On AC And Cars

Posted on by William Teach

Apparently, air conditioning is becoming a favorite target of the unhinged climate alarmists. There have already been several stories, and here comes another in the LA Times The car culture’s impact on cities and suburbs has been the subject of heated debate for decades. But all the while, humming away inconspicuously in the background, air […]

Snap! Companies Consider Moving Overseas Thanks To Finance Bill

Posted on by William Teach

Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite action. Too bad over-blown and idiotic legislation doesn’t do the same, because, in this case, when you push the ball at 5mph, it explodes and moves at 50mph, causing all sorts of damage U.S. banks, hedge funds and other […]

 

RWN Exclusive! – Sarah Palin’s 2012 Ground Game

Posted on by Donald Douglas

This essay appears tonight exclusively at Right Wing News, and will run tomorrow at American Power. ********** Just barely a year ago I published “Can Palin Win the 2012 GOP Nomination?” I laid out what I considered the necessary prerequisites for Sarah Palin’s emergence as viable, top-tier candidate for the nomination in 2012. The very […]

 

And by the way: while we’re not getting cocky about 2010…

Posted on by TrogloPundit

…let’s make sure we don’t get cocky about 2012, either. No less of a genius than Charles Krauthammer sounded that particular alarm earlier this week, and now Moe Lane writes: The NAACP has a goal; minimizing the Democratic Party’s losses in 201[0*] (via the use of a smear campaign). Vice President Biden also has a […]

 

“On a day when the BBC and other media have featured extensive reports all day long on what they term the dire economic situation in Gaza, why are they not mentioning the new shopping mall that opened there yesterday?”

Posted on by TrogloPundit

I’ll be the first to admit: I know very, very little about Gaza. But I know that I know very, very little about Gaza because of this story: A nice new shopping mall opened today in Gaza: Will the media report on it? It’s a long post with a lot of info by a guy […]

 

Muslims Riot in France

Posted on by Donald Douglas

The background story is here, “France fears widespread rioting as youths rampage after police shoot robber.” Other than that is mainly bloggers reporting on this, surprise. See Jihad Watch, “Muslims rioting in France, burning cars over killing of Muslim casino robber who shot at cops,” and Gateway Pundit, “Disgruntled Muslim Youths Now Using Automatic Weapons […]

 

Adam Serwer Says Move Along There’s Nothing to See Here

Posted on by Morgan Freeberg

Here’s a fascinating paradox of liberalism, one that affects not only them but anybody who lives where they have influence. Who you are determines truth. Ted Kennedy or Robert Byrd drop dead, and if Fox News says that’s what happened then it hasn’t really happened yet. Vice President Joe Biden says the Recovery & Reinvestment […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Continuing with our top ten most left-biased journalists working in America today, at number six we feature the redoubtable… or is it just doubtable… Rick Sanchez of CNN. Let’s face it, no list of Old Media left-wingers could be complete without the Ricker appearing on it somewhere! Any casual observer would conclude that Sanchez has […]

 

Unions Holding Up Cash for the Troops

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week the Washington Times had a story that should enrage every true American. The Democrat Congress is allowing Big Labor’s needs to come before the needs of our troops. The supplemental budget that Congress is considering is supposed to be about funding the troops and their efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, but Democrats are […]

Fish Wrap Frets About Socialists Patrolling The Arizona Border

Posted on by William Teach

The Times gives it the old liberal try in linking legitimate concerned groups with a kook fringe (leftist) group, attempting to make them all look bad: Militia With Neo-Nazi Ties Patrols Arizona Desert Minutemen groups, a surge in Border Patrol agents and a tough new immigration law are not enough for a reputed neo-Nazi who […]

 

Through a Gimlet Eye: Studying the Washington Post Kremlinologist-Style

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Let’s employ a little Cold War-style Kremlinology to try and ascertain the health of the Washington Post. Or even a little Nixonology — a modern-day equivalent of Woodward and Bernstein (or at least how they were presented to the public in the form of Redford and Hoffman) would have lots of fun tying together all of the strange stories that have circulated recently from the former home of Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham:

 

Taxing tanning beds…for racial justice.

Posted on by TrogloPundit

As if there wasn’t enough diversity between New Delhi and New Jersey already: A new Vaseline ad campaign in India urging men to whiten their faces has sparked international controversy, with critics of the ads contending that Vaseline – a subsidiary of the Dutch-Anglo conglomerate Unilever – is promoting the notion that only white skin […]

Noblesse Oblige: Obama’s Dog Gets Own Plane on Vacation Trip

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Morning Sentinel, a small paper from the state of Maine, has a travelogue story of the Obama’s vacation in and about Maine today. It has a very interesting little tidbit in it that should enrage every American. It is something that really shows Barack Obama’s arrogance and his obviously assumed air of noblesse oblige. […]

Our Cowboy President Is Making The World Hate Us

Posted on by John Hawkins

Remember when liberals were saying that they looked forward to having a President in office who would help rebuild America’s reputation around the world? It wasn’t all that long ago, was it? And of course, they immediately declared that Obama had done exactly that by bowing to everyone in site, trashing America overseas, pandering to […]
