Journalist Diversity Committee Declares Term “Illegal Immigrant” to Be “Offensive”

Posted on by Dave Blount

Journalists are advised to update their Newspeak dictionaries at once.

No Cancer in Hinkley, California: Activist Hollywood Wrong AGAIN!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Proving once again that Hollywood always gravitates to the wrong causes, Tim Cavanaugh of Reason.com reported on Dec. 14 that the California town made famous by Erin Brokovich — an activism that Hollywood embraced with a major motion picture starring Julia Roberts — has proven not to have lived up to all the anti-corporate fearmongering […]

 

Assange’s Hideout: Journalist Club

Posted on by Dave Blount

America’s enemies certainly find undignified places to hide. Remember Saddam Hussein’s spider hole? Julian Assange found a still more unsavory sanctuary — a British club for journalists: The Frontline Club in London is the kind of place where war correspondents and investigative reporters mingle with admirers and wannabes, fired by a shared passion for exposing […]

 

Helen Thomas ‘Spirit of Diversity’ Award Canceled After Latest Anti-Semitic Comments

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A few days ago the miserable Helen Thomas, famed long-time Washington correspondent, let her hatred for Jews get the best of her once again. At a workshop held in Dearborn, Michigan dedicated to fighting anti-Arab bias in the United States, Thomas came out forcefully against the “Zionists” in Israel and the United States and refused […]

 

FCC Commissioner Michael Copps Dreams of Inflicting “Public Value Test”

Posted on by Dave Blount

If FCC Commissioner Michael Copps had any hair, he would let it down not only for the BBC, but also for moonbat-infested Columbia University: American journalism is in “grave peril,” FCC Commissioner Michael Copps says, and to bolster “traditional media,” he said the Federal Communications Commission should conduct a “public value test” of every commercial […]

 

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 […]

 

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. […]

Hollywood Lunatics and Other Stories

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s a holiday and some might say we should be charitable to the unfortunate. By unfortunate usually they mean those that don’t have as much as you and I. But one might construe “unfortunate” to mean being gut wrenchingly stupid, too. And when one thinks of the gut wrenchingly stupid one often thinks of the […]

 

Obama’s Labor Dept. To Create Gov’t Sponsored ‘Labor News’ Agency?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

What is it called when a government creates a state-sponsored “news” agency, again? Ah yes, it’s called government propaganda. And that is what the Obama administration seems interested in creating if the words of Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis’s senior advisor Carl Fillichio can be believed. On Nov. 19 Fillichio attended the annual meeting of […]

 

WaPo’s Richard Cohen Shows His Bias And His True (Racist) Colors In Palin Hit Piece

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

These days, the biased leftist slant of the media is more apparent than it has ever been. They are spinning madly, increasingly frantic with fear of those super scary Tea Partiers and oh-so-terrifying conservatives. And when you add Sarah Palin and race-based identity politics into the mix, it becomes a perfect storm of unabashed – […]

 

How The Old Media Constantly Undermines Sarah Palin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Most media-watching conservatives have simply been flabbergasted at how the Old Media establishment has so neatly come together to destroy Sarah Palin. The Internet has been abuzz with examples of this attack on Sarah since she was chosen by John McCain to be her number two during the campaign for the 2008 presidential election. Every […]

 

The Progressives’ “Nazi” Rhetoric Begins With George Soros

Posted on by Jeff Dunetz

Media Matters, a George Soros propaganda organization:  masquerading as a media watchdog is exhibiting its hypocrisy again today. In an article called Fox’s “Nazi” rhetoric also comes straight from the top, they took a comment by Fox News head Roger Ailes and used it as a starting point to attack almost every commentator on the […]

 

What We Need to Say, And Say, And Say

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

If leftists are good at one thing it is staying on message. Since 2006 when Nancy Pelosi was raised to the dizzying heights of Speaker of the House of Representatives the left has been chanting over and over that the voters wanted the country to take a hard left turn. This month’s election, however, proved […]

 

Name That Party: Another Criminal Democrat Goes Unidentified by Old Media

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Every now and again I like to play “name that party.” This is the fun parlor game where you read a story about a politician that has either been indicted, arrested, or imprisoned and try to guess by the story from which party he hails. If you read the story and no political party affiliation […]

 

Glenn Beck Is a Jew-Hater, Mark Levin Is an Anti-Intellectual and Other Stuff Some People Want You to Believe

Posted on by Robert Stacy McCain

Sammy Benoit at Yid With Lid calls our attention to Media Matters’ effort to paint Glenn Beck as an anti-Semite for criticizing George Soros. (They’ve even managed to get the ADL’s Abe Foxman to join up for their smear crusade.) Of course,: Jew-hating is a vicious thing, but Media Matters certainly didn’t hesitate to foment hatred […]

 

Politico Says Florida’s Allen West Will Become the Alan Grayson of the Right?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Lt. Col. Allen West is one of the most stand up guys you’ll ever meet. He first came to the public eye when his interrogation of an Iraqi yielded lifesaving results even as it was a bit unorthodox. His professional handling of that incident put him on a track to run for Florida’s 22nd District […]

 

Another Reminder: ACORN Isn’t Dead

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The New York Post reminds us of an important fact: ACORN isn’t dead. It is merely attempting to morph into a new group with a different name in order to shed its ruined reputation. It has no intention, though, of disappearing entirely like it should. I’ve also mentioned before that this assumption that the Association […]

 

Al Gore’s Climate Exchange Scheme Utterly Fails… Media Ignores It All

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Al Gore’s much ballyhooed Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has recently announced that it will no longer be engaging in carbon trading, an activity that was the sole purpose that it was created. This is an utter failure of purpose in global warming hysteria yet the Old Media is almost completely silent on this colossal failure. […]

Intriguing story, via Politico: MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has been suspended indefinitely without pay after POLITICO reported that he made three campaign contributions to Democratic candidates.

Watch Out for Fraud

Posted on by Dave Blount

Every poll has Republicans winning in a tsunami. The Dems’ only chance is to cheat, which they have proven repeatedly they can do with impunity (e.g., Christine Gregoire in Washington, Al Franken in Minnesota). MSNBC appears to be laying some groundwork for a big surprise. Check out this screenshot from this morning: Democrat cheating was […]

At one of the last poll watcher training sessions held by the King Street Patriots on November 1, Assistant Harris County Attorney Doug Ray made an admission that contravenes the media meme that charges KSPs poll watchers with harassing voters here in Harris County, Texas.

Alaska CBS Affiliate Caught Conspiring to Spread Lies About Joe Miller

Posted on by Dave Blount

Our worst fears regarding the reliability of the left-wing establishment media were confirmed when apparatchiks at CBS affiliate KTVA in Anchorage were caught on tape conspiring to smear Tea Party Senate candidate Joe Miller: Despite KTVA’s defensive spin, they were clearly conspiring to sabotage Miller’s campaign by trying to find a child molester somewhere amid […]

 

John Stewart’s Speech Served Conservative Ends

Posted on by Brian Garst

It’s easy to be critical of the attendees at the recent Stewart/Colbert non-political but political non-rally rally, and for good reason. As a group, they are hard to take seriously.:  Egged on by Stewart’s Daily Show, they routinely confuse conviction for extremism, and the possession of neither information nor principles with moderation.:  Most of them […]
