ABC News: Global Warming ‘Helps Taliban, al Qaeda’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Increasingly, the Old Media appears to be engaged in satire and here is another story that could serve as an example of it. ABC News has published a purportedly serious story claiming that global warming “helps” the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan and terrorists all over the world. For ABC, writer Bill Blakemore makes […]

 

It’s Too Late To Delegitimize Fox

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Obama Administration is continuing to lash out at the only major news outlet that doesn’t grovel at: its feet like a penniless beggar hoping for some spare change: Attacking the news media is a time-honored White House tactic but to an unusual degree, the Obama administration has narrowed its sights to one specific organization, the […]

 

Associated Press and Misleading Rhetoric on Afghanistan

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Associated Press employed some interesting rhetoric in its recent wire story on Obama’s coming decisions on the war in Afghanistan. It is rhetoric that might mislead a casual reader as to how many casualties the U.S. has incurred in Afghanistan and just when they’ve occurred as well as both Obama’s and the Bush administration’s […]

 

No Impact Moonbat

Posted on by Dave Blount

Colin Beavan isn’t like other environmentalists who hypocritically talk the talk while walking all over Gaia by participating in modern civilization. He and his family went an entire year without using toilet paper to prove his devotion to the bizarre cult of eco-moonbattery. If people just cared enough to stop wiping their behinds, the thriving […]

 

Michele Bachmann Dismisses MSNBC

Posted on by Dave Blount

As the corrupt liberal establishment that produced Comrade Obama continues to fail our country, it will give way to alternatives that are more responsive to our needs. An example is journalism, where upstart Fox News continues to smoke the duckspeaking propagandists that comprise its entrenched competition. Unless prevented by totalitarian means, political representation will follow […]

 

Tom Friedman’s Selective History And Left-Wing Paranoia

Posted on by McQ

I don’t know how else to describe this from Thomas Friedman: I was in Israel interviewing Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin just before he was assassinated in 1995. We had a beer in his office. He needed one. I remember the ugly mood in Israel then – a mood in which extreme right-wing settlers and politicians […]

 

Getting past the “idiot,” “nuts” and “wacko” factor so that liberals have their moment of cognitive dissonance

Posted on by Bookworm

I’ve been thinking a lot about responses to my post regarding the gal who is running for town council, the one who donated to Obama, and who nevertheless seems to be a fiscal conservative. I asked how she can live with the cognitive dissonance. Several of you pointed out, in one form or another, that […]

 

Chicago Sun Times ATTACKS Drudge Report

Posted on by Alex Nobles

(via Political Lore Blog):The Chicago Sun Times ran the headline “Drudge wrong on Web site report”. Of course the newspaper who is in Chicago, who has a Chicago 2016 banner at the top of their site, who is posed to gain millions if the games are in town, is being truthful here. The Sun Times […]

 

Lefty Outrage at ‘Conservative’ Article Misses Key Fact, Writer Isn’t Conservative

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is in an uproar today. They got their panties in a bunch over a piece that ran on the conservative newsblog NewsMax.com where it was suggested that Obama’s irresponsible actions as president could result in a military coup that would “restore” the Constitution. Not completely without reason, many lefty blogs have lost their […]

 

NBC’s Gregory Assumes Liberal Argument for Healthcare, Raises ‘Right Wing Conspiracy’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a Meet the Press interview with Bill Clinton on September 27, NBC’s David Gregory seemed to assume as accepted fact that the only way to fix healthcare was for Americans to “pay higher taxes.” He also asked the former chief executive if the “vast right wing conspiracy” that his wife bemoaned in 1998 was […]

 

RIP, Bill Safire

Posted on by Sister Toldjah

The NYT reports on the death of Bill Safire, a conservative and former columnists for the so-called “Newspaper of Record”: William Safire, a speechwriter for President Richard M. Nixon and a Pulitzer Prize-winning political columnist for The New York Times who also wrote novels, books on politics and a Malaprop’s treasury of articles on language, […]

 

FireDogLake’s Weak Reply to Obama as Jesus School Song Video

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

**Update** below from children’s book author Charisse Carney-Nunes As school kids in New Jersey are being indoctrinated to think that Barack Hussein Obama is a suitable replacement for Jesus of Nazareth, the extremist leftist website FireDogLake rose to defend the propaganda. But even the left-wingers over at FDL must realize how indefensible their support of […]

 

Joe Wilson: Petition to Put Bills On Line for 72 Hours Before House Vote

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I was part of a small number of bloggers and Internet writers invited to speak with Representative Joe Wilson (R, SC) Friday afternoon. Rep. Wilson wanted to alert us all to a resolution that would provide that all bills that go through the House of Representatives would be posted on the Internet for 72 hours […]

 

Abortion Addict Racks Up 15 Kills and Counting

Posted on by Dave Blount

Not all serial killers are wanted by the police. Self-described abortion addict Irene Vilar is free to kill and kill again with the active encouragement of authorities, who confiscate your money to help finance her homicidal activities. Vilar has committed 15 abortions in 16 years. Here’s how ABC sees fit to report on her accomplishment, […]

 

Brit Hasn’t a Clue About U.S. Politics

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Many elitist American leftists like to go about claiming that it is only Americans that are dunces on foreign matters. There is some truth to the accusation that Americans are not knowledgeable about the rest of the world but if a column in the UK Telegraph is any indication it isn’t much better for Britain’s […]

 

LATimes Finally Finds Graphics Like Commie Propaganda Art… And It’s Glenn Beck, NOT Obama

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

After the last three years of President Obama’s graphics and poster art that evokes the style of graphics used in communist propaganda someone in the Old Media has finally discovered the similarity between today’s political graphics and communist styled propaganda art. And on top of that another we see another member of the Media calling […]

 

Setting The Record Straight: My Diabolical Tea Party Attendance “Misinformation Campaign”

Posted on by Tabitha Hale

I hadn’t planned on responding to the entire Tea Party attendance controversy, but since Media Matters is using information I was responsible for to smear Michelle Malkin, I figured I’d set the story straight. Estimates for the 9/12 march ranged from the “tens of thousands” all the way up to two million. Yes, two million. […]

 

CNN’s Poll Vaulting

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

A short report on CNN’s Political Ticker is interesting for what it doesn’t mention in the story as well as its admittedly misleading trumpeted headline that Obama got “double-digit post-speech jump” after his Sept, 9 healthcare speech to a joint session of Congress. First the headline: “CNN Poll: Double-digit post-speech jump for Obama plan.” Reading […]

 

Nasty Tennis Player’s ‘Anger’… Just Like Joe Wilson?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It was bound to happen, but it might have been the Orlando Sentinel’s TV reviewer Hal Boedeker that was first out of the gate to compare the obscenity laden tirade disgorged at a tennis match by Serena Williams to the no more than annoyed outburst of “you lied” from Representative Joe Wilson during President Obama’s […]

 

Media’s Credibility Continues Its Decline

Posted on by McQ

A new poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press shows the media’s credibility is at its lowest level since the poll has been taken (1985). Skepticism about the truthfulness of the media is rampant. The survey found that 63 percent of the respondents thought the information they get from the […]

 

Press: Give Up The Pretense, Wait You Kinda Have…

Posted on by Melissa Clouthier

I’m waiting for the public announcement by CNN saying that they want to clarify their editorial perspective and that they’re biased to the left. Wouldn’t that be freeing for everyone? Stop the pretending to be objective and just clearly state a bias. It’s not like they’re even attempting to report unfavorable Obama news. Imagine biased […]
