Here’s one from a few days ago (via Tom Nelson). Let’s go through the preamble before we get to the meat YOU may have heard that the federal government wants to limit your choice of light bulbs, starting in January. If only.

Once Again Reporters Try to Decide Who is Allowed to be ‘The Press’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In yet another example of collusion between “the press” and the Democrats, Bill Kelly of Chicago tried to ask a question of Democrat Senator Dick Durbin at a press availability at Chicago’s City Club and met, shall we say, some resistance? As Kelly tried to ask his question, the reporters standing next to Kelly tried […]

Remember back in the early 1960s when blacks could get any job they wanted in the American airline industry? Oh, and remember back then how no one smokedcuz it was really, really bad for you and stuff? Yeah. No one else does, either. Well, maybe not no one. Big Three Network ABC seems to remember […]

 

Want Proof of How Democrats Would Shut You Up, Tea Partiers?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On MSNBC, John Kerry told us that Tea Party ideas are not “real” ideas, not “factual,” and thinks that the media should stop reporting on anything that smacks of ideas or news coming from Tea Partiers. If this isn’t proof of how Democrats and leftists would use the power of government to quash free political […]

 

Before Pipeline Explosion Calif. Utility Spent Millions on Political Campaigning

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Back in September of 2010, a gas pipeline running underneath the city of San Bruno, California ruptured. The resulting explosion killed eight people. A recently finished investigation has revealed safety and engineering failures at many levels but, sadly, even the state agency charged with investigating seems to be hoping that the failures are hushed up.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

William J. Kelly of Chicago organized an event at a business across the street and about a block down from the venue where President Obama held his birthday bash/fundraiser.

A Newark, NJ “campaign worker” pled guilty to election fraud on Friday. Angel Colon admitted submitting fraudulent absentee and messenger ballots on behalf of State Senator Teresa Ruiz in 2007. Ruiz won the election. Now here’s the test. Go read the AP story. Did you notice any mention of Colon’s or Ruiz’s political party affiliation? […]

 

Gays, Media, Ignore MSNBC Talker’s Gay Slur

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We all know that the Old Media is filled with double standards where it concerns treatment of conservatives and liberals. Last week we found yet another example of the media’s penchant to hypocrisy when a talking head on MSNBC used a derogatory term associated with gays yet the entire militant gay establishment and their pals […]

 

Politico Op-Ed: TEA Partiers Are Terrorists

Posted on by William Teach

The actual headline reads “The tea party’s terrorist tactics“, which is interesting, when one considers that The Politico, like so many other leftist news outlets, refers to actual Islamist terrorists as militants and insurgents. And, having kept track of so many liberal blogs and forums for a long time, the Left generally thinks of Conservatives […]

 

New York Times Blames American Conservatives for Norway Massacre

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

(Just back from vacation so I am a few days late on this one, but…) The New York Times is never one to let a good tragedy go to waste when it can turn that sad incident into a bludgeon with which to bash American conservatives, even if the incident doesn’t have a thing to […]

 

Did Team Obama Pay The Washington Post For Fawning Coverage?

Posted on by William Teach

Apparently, they watched a different speech than the rest of us did. Here’s Charles Krauthammer on Obama’s Monday night repeat, via Gateway Pundit: Don Surber has some other quotes which lambaste President Snippy Pants. And So It Goes In Shreveport eviscerates (whoops, sorry, uncivil word) Obama’s class warfare scaremongering blamestorming 5 year old tantrum presser. […]

 

NY Times Blames The Deficit On……..

Posted on by William Teach

….if the first thought that came to mind was “enormous and reckless spending by Obama and the Democrats,” well, sorry, nope, uh uh, you have to go back to the B and T words With President Obama and Republican leaders calling for cutting the budget by trillions over the next 10 years, it is worth […]

 

Lefty Outrage Du Jour: Bachmann’s Staffers Manhandle Reporter

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

ABC’s Brian Ross claimed that Michele Bachmann’s staff pushed him around on July 19 at a campaign appearance. I know, I know, you are waiting for the pity party to start. In a fit of wild hyperbole, Ross called his treatment by Bachmann similar to the treatment he’s received “mostly by Mafia people.” The left-o-sphere […]

 

More Lessons in Liberal Civility: Rape Yes, Target Maps No.

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

Pretty much everyone remembers last January when the liberal mainstream media accused Sarah Palin of being an accomplice to mass murder because she had almost the exact same target map on her Facebook page that the Democrats had up a year earlier. This whole “do as I say, not as I do” fiasco prompted liberals […]

 

Dylan Ratigan: Hates Newspapers, Claims Not to be a Common Leftist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan has been saying some interesting things these days, hasn’t he? Most particularly, two amusing things scream out in a recent interview with The Atlantic. One was that he refuses to read newspapers and the other is that he wants people to think he isn’t the doctrinaire liberal everyone assumes he is. […]

 

GOP Shifts To The Hard Right On Debt Talks (?)

Posted on by William Teach

So says the Politico in a wonder article that could have been written by the DNC or the uber politicized White Democrat House Turning right with a vengeance, Republicans will bring to the House floor Tuesday a newly revised debt-ceiling bill that is remarkable for its total absence of compromise at this late date, two […]

 

NY Times: This Prolonged Recession Is The Fault Of You Consumers

Posted on by William Teach

Because, darnitall, you silly consumers just won’t spend yourselves into massive debt in the manner (NMP) Obama has THERE is no shortage of explanations for the economy’s maddening inability to leave behind the Great Recession and start adding large numbers of jobs: The deficit is too big. The stimulus was flawed. China is overtaking us. […]

 

The Atlantic Attempts To Smear Michele Bachmann Through Her Church

Posted on by William Teach

I’m so glad they can take on this issue, after being dragged in kicking and screaming to the Jeremiah Wright controversy after Sean Hannity revealed it a year prior. Of course, all the writers at The Atlantic gave Obama a free pass after sitting for 20 years in the pews listening to an anti-American and […]

 

Nanny State Wins: Light Bulb Ban Repeal Fails in House

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If the House Republicans can’t even get rid of one of the most odious examples of nanny statism in the age of Obama, what exactly are they worth? On Tuesday, Rep. Joe Barton (R, Texas) failed in his effort to repeal the incandescent light bulb ban idiotically signed into law by Nanny G.W. Bush. Barton […]

 

NY Times Thinks Economy Runs Thanks To Government

Posted on by William Teach

I’m not quite sure which is more delusional and clueless: Team Obama or the NY Times (anonymous) editorial board: The Worst Time To Slow The Economy It was not surprising to hear the Republican presidential candidates repeat their tiresome claim that excessive government spending and borrowing were behind Friday’s terrible unemployment report. It was depressing […]

 

Politicians’ Immoral Behavior Becoming Acceptable

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Politicians today are getting away with higher levels of disgraceful behavior. Even just a few years ago it was a shock when a high-level political official did something immoral or promoted inappropriate values. When former Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders said in 1994 that masturbation should be promoted to deter young people from engaging in risky […]

 

Obama’s Veritable Intercontinental FAILroad

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, maybe John Sexton and I both gave Obama a little too much credit on this “intercontinental railroad” gaffe? When he and I wrote about this little gaffe we both assumed that it was no big deal, that it was juts a slip of the tongue — and an easy one to make at that […]

 

Newsweek: White House Intimidation of NBC ‘Reprehensible’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Old Media is still acting shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that the Obama administration treats them like a redheaded stepchild. Newsweek’s The Daily Beast, for instance, is incredulous at the “reprehensible” actions of the Obama White House for having the temerity to call NBC to scold the cabler over Mark Halperin’s “dick” comment. You’ll […]

 

Obama’s Lincoln/Railroad Gaffe, why Did Old Media Ignore This?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In keeping with the many dozens of gaffes that Obama has made over the years, Verum Serum found another one from last February that has, with the help of the Old Media, slipped under the radar. Just more proof that Obama’s constant gaffes go unreported by the Old Media while they search high and low […]

 

Don’t Film Me Bro: Getting Arrested for Filming People in Public Places

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The law has not caught up with cell phone cameras, Flip Cameras, compact video cameras, and the electronic age. Two stories being reported last weekend prove out how the ubiquity of video capture devices are often a gray area in the law. In one case a woman in Rochester, New York, pulled out her video […]

 

MSNBC’s Mark Halperin Calls Obama ‘A Dick,’ Gets Fired For It

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Long-time media talking head Mark Halperin has just found out that the left-wing news cabler MSNBC will brook no criticism of their Obammessiah. On the June 30 episode of Morning Joe Halperin gave a rather frank assessment of how President Barack Obama was acting. As a result of his poke, Halperin was given the shaft […]

 

Why Can’t Old Media Learn That Obama Has Contempt for Them?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Since the early days of Barack Obama’s run for the presidency, you know, right after he became Senator Obama in 2006, he’s been slighting the media in ways small and large. And since 2006 the media has been complaining about his sleights. Even this week the Old Media has been found whining about getting the […]

 

Virginia Attny Gen to Sue FCC Over Net Neutrality

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Up to this point, the far left has won the war for branding on the issue of Net Neutrality. Even many conservatives and Republicans have been fooled by the “freedom of the Internet” lies that the left has spun with NN. But the Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli of The Commonwealth of Virginia means to change […]

 

Today’s Bachmann Hit Piece: Her Husband’s Practice Received Medicare Money!

Posted on by William Teach

Somehow, this NBC News investigation….we’re still waiting for them to investigate anything regarding 2008 Democrat presidential contender Barack Obama….is supposed to create a big kerfuffle. It’s spread out through many news sources, along with liberal blogs, who are a bit unhinged over it (it would also be nice if the legacy media could spell her […]
