What Now Passes as Today’s “News”

Posted on by Michael Fell

Monday March 12, 2012…Today’s “news” begins with the headline: The Most Aired Political Campaign Ads. A sub-headline reads: Obama’s “Unprecedented” commercial was shown 6,190 times before Super Tuesday. At first, by mentioning campaign ads from multiple candidacies, this article flirts with the idea of integrity. A flirtation which disappointingly dissolves in the face of the […]

 

False Fronts: Obama Still Pretending Fluke is an Innocent Kid

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If you want to see how the left skews the narrative using untrue claims and false imagery to sell a message, you don’t need any other example than President Obama’s recent press conference where he continued to perpetrate the myth that Sandra Flake is somehow an innocent coed, a kid barely out of high school, […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There is accidental “hypocrisy,” where you didn’t actually realize that you have committed the logic/moral sin, and then there is rank hypocrisy, that time when you do two things that are totally opposite each other yet you defend both. The on-line computer backup company, Carbonite, has committed the latter over this business with Slutgate and […]

 

Slut-Gate: Obama’s Orchestrated, Left-Wing Campaign Plan

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You know the story by now, right? Republicans run the he-man women haters club. As the media has it the story goes like this: poor, unassuming, innocent Georgetown coed, accidentally ends up in front of Congress pleading for “reproductive rights.” Evil mean conservatives led by scalawag Rush Limbaugh unfairly call her a slut and announce […]

 

Rush Limbaugh Is Not The Problem

Posted on by Michael Fell

This is not a defense of Rush Limbaugh. Rush can take care of himself. This is about a much bigger problem within a much bigger picture. Have you seen the latest hit piece on Yahoo’s Destination 2012 web-site by David Crary of the Associated Press? Not surprisingly, this latest salvo is aimed directly at Rush […]

 

Leftist’s Hate on Full Display Over Breitbart’s Passing

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It is sad that to be a left-winger is to be a hatemonger, but the death of conservative media activist Andrew Breitbart has certainly brought out those true colors of the left. The giddiness displayed and cheering indulged by America’s leftists over the fact that Mr. Breitbart died late Wednesday night has been shrill, disgusting, […]

 

RIP, Andrew Breibart

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The country has lost a leader. Early this morning I was woken by texts, phones calls, and Facebook IMs to the devastating news that conservative activist Andrew Breitbart passed away, late last night. He was only 43. Andrew was a force of nature, for sure. He was everywhere at once, attended every conservative gathering of […]

 

Chop Licking: How Obama Uses Falsehoods to Advance His Policies

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week we all got a great lesson in how the left promotes a lie to make Republicans the enemy and this time President Obama was a chief participant. This is how the game is played: the left-leaning media establishment makes a claim about how rotten Republicans are and Obama then echoes the claim and […]

Fired ESPN Editor Claims no Racial Slam Meant with ‘Chink in Armor’ Headline

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The headline written by ESPN editor Anthony Federico about Asian-American basketball star Jeremy Lin lasted only about a half hour before ESPN changed it but the fallout is lasting a bit longer for editor Federico. On its Saturday story on Jeremy Lin’s less than stellar game the night before, ESPN’s headline screamed, “Chink in the […]

 

Heartland Institute: The ‘Gate’ Scandal That Never Was

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Global warmists finally have an email “gate” of their own that they can turn against “deniers” and they are taking full advantage of it. The Warmists are excited that the Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based state policy group, has been “outed” for attempting to undermine the religiously held tenets of global warming. Emails to that effect […]

 

Newspapers Defend Their Crony Capitalism: Outdated Monopoly on Public Notices

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Ever wonder why taking out a public notice costs so much money? It shouldn’t be that way. With the demise of print newspapers, it no longer makes sense to require that public notices be published only in newspapers. More people have access to the internet now than subscribe to print newspapers. Yet print newspapers have […]

Obama Programming Media Matters, or is it the Other Way Around?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston There has been a lot of chatter about the blockbuster report at DailyCaller.com revealing the extent to which the self-proclaimed “media watchdog” outfit Media Matters for America is joined at the hip with the White House. Many are shocked at just how much Obama is seemingly programming the media with the […]

 

Obama’s Budget: More Tax, Borrow and Spend

Posted on by Michael Fell

The White House presented its 2012 budget Monday. A $3.8 trillion proposal which includes $1.43 trillion in new taxes on households whose incomes meet or exceed $250,000 (note: this is the new “progressive” definition of millionaires and billionaires), a fourth straight year of $1 trillion-plus deficit spending (which will require yet more borrowing), and new […]

 

Rick Santorum’s Sweep Changes the Race

Posted on by Michael Fell

As the final Colorado vote counts were coming in late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning, confirming that Rick Santorum scored a hat trick against his Republican competitors, it was becoming clear that a sea change is occurring within the GOP race. More than before, it’s now arguable that the inevitability of Mitt Romney’s candidacy is a […]

 

The “progressive” War on Christianity

Posted on 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 by Warner Todd Huston

Polk Award-Winning Rolling Stone writer Michael Hastings made a startling set of admissions on CSPAN, recently.

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

Posted on 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 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 […]

 

Guilt By Association Used by Old Media Only to Hurt Republicans

Posted on 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 […]

 

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

Posted on 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 […]

 

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

Posted on 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 […]

Reality TV Tax Hikes? ABC Pushes a Kim Kardashian Tax

Posted on 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 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 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 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 […]
