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 […]

 

Liberals’ Frankenstein Monster Runs Amok in Chicago

Posted on by Dave Blount

Civilization is coming unraveled in the city that gave us Barack Hussein Obama and much of his crew. But don’t be racist by noticing: Pardon the unintentional rhyme, but Chicago is under attack by packs of wild Blacks. (Paul Kersey is all over this.) They’re storming buses 15 at a time, beating White people with […]

 

Jose Antonio Vargas: From Journalist to Illegal Immigrant and Political Activist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The newly publicized life-story of award winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas seems to be one of those revelatory stories that tends to confirm some of the worst charges against liberals and the Old Media. The media sees no reason not to break the law, it employs people with political agendas, and all the while refuses […]

 

The Atlantic Magazine’s Lies: Of Breitbarts, Kochs, and RightOnLine

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last weekend Americans For Prosperity once again held its RightOnLine conference, this year in beautiful downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Consequently, the Atlantic Magazine decided to do a report on what went on at RightOnLine. Unfortunately, the whole thing was filled with opinions stated as fact, misconstructions of facts, and outright lies. Sadly, along with the rest […]

 

NBC Sports Removes ‘Under God’ From Kids Saying Pledge of Allegiance

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In its intro to the 2011 U.S. Open golf tournament, NBC Sports had a heart stirring montage of Old Glory, school kids reciting the pledge of allegiance, all intercut with some of golf’s biggest contemporary stars. It had everything: resounding music, patriotism, and golf. But one thing it didn’t have… the whole pledge. It seems […]

Presidential candidate Herman Cain (R) recently spoke with FOX Business Network’s (FBN) Neil Cavuto about the dispute between the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Boeing and its impact on the United States economy.

He wants them sent to the facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where they belong. Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com Why is the Justice Department doing this? Why expose our heartland […]

 

Soros Funded MoveOn.Org Lies About Hacking Fox News Ticker

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What’s the best way to counter what you think are the lies coming from your opponents? Is it to make up lies of your own? Apparently MoveOn.org thinks so. On June 9, MoveOn admitted using lies, subterfuge and fraud to “counter” what they maintain is the wrong-headed thinking of Fox News. I guess to a […]

 

Since When Is Reporting The Facts Irrelevant?

Posted on by John Hawkins

This Chicago Tribune article should be disturbing to fair minded, non-ideological journalists who take their jobs seriously….which, of course, probably comprises a group of about half a dozen people across the whole United States. This week the Chicago Tribune published several news stories and related columns about assaults by groups of youths in the Streeterville […]

 

Good News! NY Times Exposes Yet Another Secret Program

The NY Times has apparently given up on its research into Sarah Palin’s tanning bed interest, after realizing that, damnitall, she was a hard working governor who did an excellent job, and turns their attention to screwing dissidents around the world The Obama administration is leading a global effort to deploy “shadow” Internet and mobile […]

 

Why Does the Mainstream Media Never Agonize Over The Privacy Of Conservatives?

Posted on by John Hawkins

I do believe that the press pries too deeply into people’s private lives. Also, as I wrote yesterday, I felt bad for Anthony Weiner’s wife Huma. Still, this rubs me the wrong way. The news that Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, is pregnant had been known and agonized over in newsrooms, including this one, for […]

 

New York Times Columnist Kristof’s Foolishness

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof is a simpleton. There is really no other way to say it, no gentler phrasing possible, to explain how childish and uncluttered his tiny little mind really is. The latest example of his utter inability to think clearly can be seen in Kristof’s screed against Americans that love America. […]

 

Anthony Weiner Admits He Sent the Original Photo, Lied About It

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

To add to John’s coverage, I live tweeted the presser… Despite the many left-wingers spinning tales to make Weinergate the fault of conservative media mogul, Andrew Breitbart, Democrat New York Representative Anthony Weiner now admits that it was he who sent the original photo, that the underwear-clad person in the photo was indeed a photo […]

 

Breitbart Gets It Right. Liberal Media Gets It Wrong. Anthony Weiner Admits It!

Posted on by John Hawkins

The left side of the blogosphere bought into Anthony Weiner’s implausible claim that he was “hacked.” Why, Breitbart probably even had something to do with it! You know how that jerk is! Here are just a few of the many, many posts that were written along these lines, defending Weiner, vilifying Breitbart, if not outright […]

 

New ‘Reality’ TV Show To Focus On Race for 2012 Election

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

An interesting ad has recently appeared at the New York Craig’s List website which shows exactly how the left will be framing the upcoming 2012 presidential election. The ad asks for a family that represents “racial minorities” to be pitted against a family of “white conservatives.” It’s pretty clear they intend to make this whole […]

 

Even Lefty Website Mediaite Says Breitbart Did Not Lie about Weinergate

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of the things that the left has lighted upon to explain away the behavior of Democrat Congressman Anthony Weiner with his Weinergate Twitter mess is typical of the way leftists try to misdirect a debate away from the failings of their own side. Instead of keeping focus on the failures of Weiner to put […]

 

Evil Confederate, German, Nazi, Racists Invades Mind of The Atlantic Writer

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Atlantic’s Yoni Appelbaum has a troubled little mind. He seems to be an excitable sort, too. I say this because during this 150th anniversary of the American Civil War he strangely sees evil Confederate, German, Nazi, racists at Civil War events. He might want to see a therapist about this. Either that or he’s […]

 

L.A. Times Tim Rutten, Historical Idiot

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Tim Rutten is a left-wing, hack writer from L.A. He is always good for contemporary left wing trope but the other day we discovered that he is also good for the sort of uninformed blathering that leftists of his ilk pretend is American history. Chiefly that of America’s religious history and the so-called “wall of […]

 

MSNBC: Obama’s Job Loss Blamed on Natural Disasters, Bush’s Job Growth ‘False’ Because of… Natural Disasters?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

From the “figures lie, but liars figure” department we find that left-leaning cable newser MSNBC reported that the main reason Obama’s job stats are tumbling and unemployment is so high is because of the harsh tornado season and other natural disasters we have been experiencing over the first half of 2011. Yet, hypocritically, if we […]

 

Let’s Say Sarah Palin Got Into The Same Situation As Anthony Weiner…

Posted on by John Hawkins

Let’s imagine another prominent political figure, like Sarah Palin, in the same position as Anthony Weiner. Let’s say tomorrow, Sarah Palin starts following my account and sends me a hot half-naked picture. #1) I would say “thank you.” #2) If she screwed up and sent it publicly, I’m pretty sure she’d know if the picture […]

 

Now Media Trying to Turn Weiner Tweeter Into a Republican?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This story about Democrat New York Congressman Anthony Weiner sending a photo of his… uh… weiner… to some barely-out-of-her-teens student in Washington State is as ridiculous as it can get. But the leave it to the Old Media to make it more ridiculous yet. Leave it to the venerable newswire service Reuters to turn a […]

DC Libs Happy to Sign Petition Banning Conservative’s Free Speech

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is always a bundle of contradictions. On one hand leftists set themselves up as the ultimate in “tolerance” and a guarantor of “freedom” to do as one wishes. Most leftists imagine themselves interested in making sure everyone is free to do as they wish to the point where that they are almost libertine […]
