Liberal thinking in a cup of tea

Posted on by Bookworm

We are a family of tea drinkers. As dedicated tea drinkers, we like good tea, which usually means loose leaf tea. Loose leaf tea, in turn, means special tea makers. Our favorite is the Adagio Ingenuitea Teapot, which makes one perfect cup of tea at a time. The only downside of the Ingenuitea maker is […]

As most of you know last week I was down in Cancun, Mexico reporting on the U.N. Climate Change Summit (officially called COP16/CMP6). It was several days of sun, surf, and U.N. conmen. I am back in the saddle here at home but Friday I went from the warm white sands of Cancun back to […]

Why has Media Not Played up Republicans Taking Obama’s Senate Seat?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Wouldn’t you think it would be a big deal if a Republican president lost his senate seat to a Democrat only 2 short years after he was elected to the highest office in the land? I mean, don’t you think the media would think that a Republican president losing his own former office to the […]

 

Smoking Gun on Google Bias: Moonbattery.com Listed as “Compromised”

Posted on by Dave Blount

It looks like Moonbattery’s gentle admonishments of Google for incessantly wallowing in leftist ideology are not going over very well: There is no technical problem with the site, as the ISP has confirmed. Despite its liberal corporate climate, Google supposedly returns search results on a nonpartisan basis. But Moonbattery’s bogus “compromised” status suggests otherwise. On […]

 

More Palin Bashing: How CNN Misleads With Headlines

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

CNN indulged a classic left media tactic by misleading with a headline in a recent piece on former Governor Sarah Palin. The headline, if read by itself, seems to be saying that Sarah Palin delivered a “gaffe-filled message,” when the truth is that her message talked about gaffes, but wasn’t “filled” with them per se. […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Harry Reid survived his brush with electoral death winning yet another term as Nevada’s Senator. Reid knows what side of his bread is buttered, too.

But with Republicans and tea party […]

 

The Thomas Friedman Bubble

Posted on by John Hawkins

Thomas Friedman strikes me as a creepy guy. Keep in mind, we’re talking about man who openly admires China’s lack of democracy because he thinks it would make it easier to get things done. Clearly, Friedman is not the sort of person who can be trusted with power, which is why it’s probably a good […]
