If you want to see how the systemic liberal bias of The New York Times fails to confine itself to the editorial pages, Saturday's article on the letter Rush Limbaugh sold on Ebay for $2.1 million with the proceeds going to charity is an excellent example. After Rush Limbaugh referred to Iraq war veterans critical […]
The Columbia Journalism Review got around to noticing that last week's New York Times report on the comments of retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez vis a vis the media failed to make it into reporter David S. Cloud's piece. Cloud’s remarks left me with two questions. First, why didn’t he include any mention in his […]
"They" is The New York Times. On their online "Op-Ed" page, the Times has posted a nearly 7 minute video that is nothing more than a infomercial promoting the insurgency in Iraq. To say that I'm furious would be an understatement. If the Times exposé of the terroist finance tracking program and its subsequent cancellation […]
Over at The New York Times, law professor Stanley Fish addresses some of the issues in Evan Coyne Maloney's flim, "Indoctrinate U." Maloney's response can be found here.

Just a quick follow-up on last week's decision by a bunch of silly people to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore for talking a good game (but having a bigger carbon footprint then some small towns) on global warming, but not actually doing anything. The Wall Street Journal published a modest list of […]
We'll start with the two bad: First, The New York Times completely ignores the announcement that the Medal of Honor will be awarded posthumously to Lt. Michael Murphy of Long Island. There is no excuse for this. Nada. Zippo. Zilch. As one person noted: "If he had killed 15 people, he'd be on the front […]
The media followed-up yesterday on retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez's remarks attacking the Bush administration's handling of the Iraq War. However, the silence on his remarks about the media continues. Nothing at Poynter.org's Romenesko blog. No follow-up or reaction at Editor & Publisher. The story did lead Fox News' "Big Story" program this afternoon, but […]
Columnist George Will points out the liberal groupthink that is required in accredited social work programs across the nation. In 2005, Emily Brooker, a social-work student at Missouri State University, was enrolled in a class taught by a professor who advertised himself as a liberal and insisted that social work is a liberal profession. At […]
