Not the U.S. military, but terrorists. Maybe Eason Jordan can't tell the difference between the two.

Former PBS newsman Bill Moyers has apologized for passing on a smear against former Reagan administration Interior Secretary James Watt. Earlier this afternoon, Bill Moyers called James Watt and "apologized profusely" for misquoting him and misrepresenting his views on the environment. Moyers says he will produce a written apology and think about ways to make […]
The story of CNN news executive Eason Jordan's charge that the American military was targeting journalists in Iraq for assassination finally broke into the mainstream media. The best article on the subject comes from the New York Sun. There is video of the forum and the comments, but that video is apparently not forthcoming. The […]
Wednesday's New York Times: 13 total letters. 6 anti-intelligent design. 1 pro-intelligent design. 1 neutral. 4 anti-Bush (out of 4 on the president's budget). 1 anti-American. I'm just not sure how to classify the intelligent design letters when it comes to conservative/liberal labels. I tend to lean toward saying that anti-intelligent design letters are anti-religious […]
A report in today's New York Times on a August 2000 fund-raiser for then Senate candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton that lead to the indictment of Sen. Clinton's finance director, paints a picture of the VRWC out to get the Clintons. It also shows the continuing effort of a longtime nemesis of the Clintons, Judicial Watch, […]

Watching today's news report on President Bush's budget plan and the appearance on Capitol Hill of Treasury Secretary John Snow and White House budget director Josh Bolten before various congressional committees, I figured out why New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has not offered his promised plan to fix Social […]
In his Jan. 4 column, New York Times columnist/economist Paul Krugman wrote this: In the next few weeks, I'll explain why privatization will fatally undermine Social Security, and suggest steps to strengthen the program. Since then, he has written 10 columns, and the only "steps to strengthen the program," that Krugman has suggested was later […]
Tuesday's New York Times letters to the editor: 15 total letters. 5 left-wing. 2 right-wing. 8 non-partisan.
I was flipping channels and actually listened to about 15 seconds of Paul Begala on CNN's "Crossfire." Begala decried the fact that President Bush's proposed budget increases the co-pay for veterans by more than 100 percent. Dang! More than double. Of course, that phrasing begs a question: what is that in dollars -- not as […]
Thanks to Powerline we are reminded that former PBS "newsman" Bill Moyers is a less-than-stellar journalist. If an apology to former Interior Secretary James Watt and retraction from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is not immediately forthcoming, then Moyers cements his reputation as a partisan hack.
