The “progressive” War on Christianity

Posted on February 4, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

This past week, Susan G. Komen for the Cure announced a decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood. Their decision was based on the fact that to a large measure, the business of Planned Parenthood is abortion. A determination substantiated by a statistical analysis of Planned Parenthood’s services. http://liveaction.org/blog/38-4-of-pp-health-center-income-is-from-abortions/ Planned Parenthood continues to insist that they […]

Admission: Journalists are Liberals Not Interested in Facts and Truth

Posted on February 3, 2012February 3, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Polk Award-Winning Rolling Stone writer Michael Hastings made a startling set of admissions on CSPAN, recently. Not only did he admit that most “journalists” are liberals, but he implied that they really aren’t interested in just reporting the facts of stories. Instead he said they are filled with a liberal “moralistic righteousness” and their goal […]

CBS Featured No Pro-Lifers in Photo Essay About Pro-Life Rally

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

If you want a case of clear bias, the Washington D.C. affiliate of CBS will surely fill the bill for its bias against pro-life supporters. On January 23 the DC affiliate featured on its website a photo slide show of pictures taken at the March for Life rally held annually at the nation’s capitol. Curiously, […]

Why obama is Toast

Posted on January 26, 2012December 30, 2012 by Michael Fell

This just in from the Associated Press: The Commerce Department said Thursday new-home sales fell last month to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 307,000. The pace is less than half the 700,000 that economists say must be sold in a healthy economy. About 302,000 homes were sold last year. That’s […]

Chicago Sun-Times Shows White Flag: No More Political Endorsements

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

The Chicago Sun Times has received your message loud and clear, dear readers. As much as admitting that they are biased and they know it, the long-time Windy City staple has decided that hence forth it will no longer endorse candidates for political office. In a Sunday editorial, the 71-year-old paper announced its new policy […]

Guilt By Association Used by Old Media Only to Hurt Republicans

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Last week two political operatives were arrested in separate incidents, one Democrat and one Republican. It certainly isn’t news that political operatives sometimes break the law, but how the different incidents were reported is typical of how the Old Media establishment uses guilt by association to tar Republicans but rarely does the same thing to […]

The Tweet Of The Year So Far: Sarah Palin Pops Newsweek

Posted on January 18, 2012December 30, 2012 by John Hawkins

Newsweek has gotten a great deal of attention, most of it bad, for this insipid cover. This prompted Sarah Palin to give Newsweek the smackdown it deserves. When you’re claiming to be a serious news magazine and yet, you’re running obnoxious stories by a writer who has become a laughingstock for pushing the least plausible […]

Politico’s Fake Tea Party-Slamming South Carolina Poll

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

It almost seems that on a daily basis the onetime political news website Politico is edging toward a Daily Kos-like experience and on Jan 14 we see yet another step in Politico’s journey toward left-wing extremes with a fake poll that claims that no one in South Carolina likes the Tea Party movement. Did I […]

Romney ‘Shoe Shine’ Photo a Hoax, Left-Wingers Push Story Anyway

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

If you want to see a perfect example of how the left-wing media plans to smear and destroy Mitt Romney should he win the GOP nomination, no better example can be found than the hoax over a photo that lefties every where are trying to sell as evidence of Romney’s “privileged” life. Lefties say the […]

Truth in Advertising

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Michael Fell

Have you seen this TV commercial advertising an electric car? It starts by showing virtually every appliance, utility and tool used by average, everyday people being powered by an internal combustion engine that’s pumping massive amounts of black smoke into the atmosphere. Impressive efforts are made to tie all visual references to the petroleum industry, […]

NPR: Again Falsely Blaming Giffords’ Shooting on Uncivil Political Rhetoric

Posted on January 10, 2012October 21, 2018 by Warner Todd Huston

I suppose we couldn’t get past the one-year anniversary of the crime against Democrat Representative Gabrielle Giffords without some Old Media outlet blaming the supposed “heated” political rhetoric of the day for her shooting. On Sunday we saw NPR doing just that. The fact is, no matter how many times they say it, politics and […]

Obama’s Electronic Medical Records Requirements Already Causing Job Loss

Posted on January 9, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

While the Old Media has been ecstatic over recent job numbers, claiming that some 200,000 jobs have been added to the economy, we should note that while Obama giveth Obama also taketh away. The media may be trying to claim the President has “created or saved” jobs (the latest weasel word is he’s created job […]

Albany Police Chief Slams ‘Occupy’-Supporting Councilmen

Posted on January 8, 2012January 8, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Albany Police Chief Steven Krokoff came in for heavy criticism by fans of the Occupy “movement” after he ordered the clearing of their downtown encampment pursuant to a court order. The arguments over the actions by police have raged since the December 23 conflagration with Chief Krokoff getting savaged repeatedly by the media and some […]

Eugene Robinson: Extreme Rick Santorum Shouldn’t Be Let Near White House

Posted on January 7, 2012 by William Teach

One thing that I have missed during the King Obama years has been the truly unhinged lefties being unhinged. They were a lot more fun when Bush was president, but, hey, with the 2012 silly season in full swing, they are coming out of the woodwork (Washington Post) Before there was the Tea Party to […]

Reality TV Tax Hikes? ABC Pushes a Kim Kardashian Tax

Posted on January 6, 2012January 6, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

Here’s a new way to try and hip-up the boring, ages-old, left-wing idea of tax hikes: link it to reality TV star Kim Kardashian. That is just what ABC News tried to do on the Wednesday, January 4 edition of ABC World News Tonight when the venerable news program helped advertise an effort by a […]

The Essential Lies Underneath Occupy Wall Street

Posted on January 2, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston The folks at Fox News made a fantastic video that helps elucidate the lies floated about how wonderful, how pro-America, and how peaceable the Occupy Wall Street “movement” has been. It is important to watch this video for the truth. The whole nonsense that OWS is a “peaceful movement” is the […]

Israel Killed Fewer Civilians in Military Operations Than Others, Including the US

Posted on January 1, 2012 by Warner Todd Huston

The last decade or so we’ve assigned a euphemism to the deaths of civilians in military operations; we’ve called it “collateral damage.” The fact is, though, that deaths of bystanders — purportedly innocent — are almost unavoidable in war operations. After all, war usually entails the indiscriminate firing of automatic weapons or the dropping of […]

Wash. Post Plays Hate-The-Rich-Republicans With Graphic Chart

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston On Wednesday morning the Washington Post’s Aaron Blake posted an infographic that was a perfect example of how one can use a graphic chart to influence the public in subtle ways, ways that we of the center right better start employing in our own efforts if we want to win over […]

The Elephant Stick

What’s the elephant stick?: Simply, it’s: a stake driven into the ground to keep a chained baby elephant from escaping captivity.: The young elephant, small and relatively weak, is: not yet strong enough to pull up: the stake and flee.: The baby elephant: learns that: when it feels tension on it’s ankle: it’s reached the end of: the chain and: can’t go any: farther.: […]

Politico’s Top 10 Political Blunders: Mostly GOP Blunders?

Posted on December 28, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Top ten lists at year’s end are always subjective, to be sure. But some lists seem rather obviously out of whack at first glance. Politico’s “Top 10 political blunders of 2011” is one of those lists that is glaring for what isn’t present as opposed to what is. And what isn’t seems to bespeak that […]

Media Forgets to Mention S. C. Immigration Law-Blocking Judge is Obama Appointee

Posted on December 23, 2011December 24, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

One of the Old Media’s favorite ways of attempting to hide the ideological track of a story is to somehow forget to mention to which party someone in the news hails or owes fealty to. In this case it is what they don’t report that misleads. This week we find a classic what-they-don’t-say story concerning […]

Senator Dick Durbin: Pants on Fire

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Illinois Senior Senator, Democrat Dickie Durbin wants you to know that the fact that the Democrats have not passed a full, working budget in over 900 days is all because of those wascally Republicans. Never mind that the Democrats have had the majority for over three years in the Senate, never mind that before the […]

Nut Wants Obama Assassinated, Left-Wingers Falsely Say He’s a Tea Partier

Posted on December 20, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

On Monday morning a story whipped through the liberal blogosphere (and unfortunately one generally conservative news source) that had the left gleefully attacking the Tea Party Movement. They were thrilled, you see, to find a Tea Partier advocating for the assassination of President Obama and his entire family. Only they didn’t. Find such a Tea […]

Salon’s Joan Walsh: Reagan Dems Voted GOP in 1980 Because They Were Raaaaacists

Posted on December 15, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Did you know that the only reason those famed “Reagan Democrats” voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984 was because they were… uh… racists? Well on the little watched Ed Show on MSNBC, Salon’s Joan Walsh assured the nation — or at least the 20 people watching — that this was the truth. Sometimes […]

Time Mag: Occupy Wall Street The Number One Story of 2011?

Posted on December 12, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

It’s that time of year again, time for newspapers and magazines to start floating their “top stories of the year” lists and Time Magazine has a whole “Top of Everything” list with which to thrill us. But it is Time’s Top U.S. News Stories list that deserves some closer scrutiny because on it Time has […]

My Video At Heart of Controversy in Florida House Race

Posted on December 12, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently, a video I made in Denver is at the heart of a controversy in a race for the House of Representatives in Florida. While at Blogcon 2011 I had the opportunity to interview Karen Harrington, a Republican candidate for the 20th District House seat now held by Debbie Wasserman Schultz — who is also […]

Jose Antonio Vargas: Being an Illegal Alien Made Me… a Better Reporter?

Posted on December 8, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Jose Antonio Vargas is the perfect example of media bias. He presents himself as both an activist for illegal immigrants and a “journalist.” He’s uniquely suited to this claim in today’s PC world, too, because he is himself an “undocumented American,” as he styles it. And in a new interview he also claims that being […]

How the Left Lies its Way to ‘Facts’

Posted on December 6, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

There was once a famous liberal congressman from New York who reminded his opponents that they could have their own opinions but not their own facts. This, of course, was Daniel Patrick Moynihan, one of the few respectable liberals of his or any other day. But, for the most part, the left operates on pushing […]

CNN Soft Peddles ‘Occupy’ Lawbreaking, Asks if Police Have ‘Sympathy’ With Occupiers

Posted on December 3, 2011December 3, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

On November 30, CNN’s T. J. Holmes gave us a great example of how the Old Media is soft peddling the law breaking going on at the Occupy events in order to make these events seem far less dangerous and illicit than they are. Like many in the Old Media, Holmes seems desperate to give […]

NYTimes: Guess What? Tea Party is Just Like KKK

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Warner Todd Huston

Tis the season for buying books for your loved ones and as always the The New York Times Sunday Book Review is here to help. And as always the Sunday Book Review is there to help us understand that anything from the right side of the aisle, especially the Tea Party, is to be put […]
