I'm not naive. I know that there are people like Louisiana's David Duke and Fallbrook's own Tom Metzger who have a darkness and hatred in their own hearts that makes all skin color pale in comparison. But are we still at the point that everything is always about race? I'm not a big fan of […]
If he's breathing he's lying. That's something that Powerline's John Hinderaker found out when he went to check out New York Times columnist Krugman's assertion that USS Bataan, a multipurpose amphibious assault ship, was never mobilized to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. Don't expect a correction to be forthcoming. The New York Times editorial page […]
Fox News' Neil Cavuto has New Age wacko Deepak Chopra on to talk about Hurricane Katrina's aftermath or something -- the second Chopra came on I turned the channel. Why? Because Chopra is a frauda. I first saw Chopra on the Oprah Winfrey show in the summer of 1993. I was renting a room while […]
Over at EU ROTA, the Lexis-Nexis database has provided us with the craven and shameless opportunism that is the New York Times editorial page. First, Thursday's Times editorial on the Hurricane Katrina tragedy: While our attention must now be on the Gulf Coast's most immediate needs, the nation will soon ask why New Orleans's levees […]
I sent the following e-mail letter to Poynter Online's quasi-blog Romenesko. They're apparently not interested in publishing it. Last Thursday, New York Times columnist Bob Herbert basically recycled a column he wrote in 1999 with a new top and a new bottom. The heart of the column nine paragraphs was practically the same. Whether or […]
Over at Radioblogger.com there is a transcript of an interview between the Los Angeles Times' Tim Rutten and talk show host Hugh Hewitt. The occassion for the interview was an article Rutten was working on for last week's paper. For those who are unfamiliar with Hewitt's show, he has a policy of recording any interview […]
Dave Kopel had an excellent article in Saturday's Rocky Mountain News on the Cindy Sheehan the Big Three networks and major newspapers aren't telling you about. Sheehan has explained that the real global terrorist problem is the United States. Speaking at San Francisco State University on April 27, she announced, "The biggest terrorist in the […]
Why did he think that he wouldn't be caught? Why the silence from the mainstream media's watchdogs?
One of the signs that the apocalypse is on us occurred today when New York Times columnist Paul Krugman acknowledged error. Despite what I wrote earlier, early Wednesday morning I sent an e-mail off to the Times public editor Byron Calame. My point in sending it was merely to get Krugman to acknowledge his error […]
New York Times reporter Elisabeth Bumiller has been doing hard work following President Bush from place to place on his monthlong "vacation." I haven't spent a whole lot of time analyzing the Times' news coverage. During the 2004 election I discovered just how tainted the paper's hard news coverage had been tainted by liberal ideology […]
