New York Times hack Paul Krugman weighs in on the Karl Rove non-story today instead of sharing his genius Social Security plan (raise taxes) that he promised long ago. Krugman's column is short on facts and long on slander. I first realized that we were living in Karl Rove's America during the 2000 presidential campaign, […]
The "Today" show report I mentioned earlier was done by Jamie Gangel, not Katie Couric. However, if this is a complete and accurate account of the Joseph Wilson interview, then I was, once again, correct -- softballs only. The only semi-challenging question of Wilson was on the charge that he is/was a Democrat partisan. Gangel: […]
NBC teased Thursday's "Today" show which will feature a Katie Couric interview with discredited former ambassador Joseph Wilson. I'm going to go way out on a very sturdy limb and predict a huge softball interview (and with my body clock so out of whack from jet lag and a drastically changed sleep schedule here in […]
Today's nutty statement of the day comes courtesy of The Washington Post's Bob Woodward. In an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live," Woodward offered to serve part of New York Times reporter Judith Miller's time for contempt of court as a show of solidarity. WOODWARD: I would have done it, too. And in fact, you […]
In one, Bush adviser Karl Rove is the devil, in the other he's a saint. The more accurate of the two editorials notes that former ambassador Joseph Wilson has been exposed as a liar; the other paints him as a victim -- unbelievable. It's interesting to note that the New York Times claims that "Mr. […]
Once America's most prestigious paper, The New York Times continues to go down the tubes. Today's column by Frank Rich would be acceptable, if questionable, journalism had it been published on or before July 6, 2004. Today, it's just a big correction waiting to happen -- that is, if editorial page editor Gail Collins had […]
Time magazine once again proves that when the majority of the media describe themselves as "moderate," that's what the general public calls "liberal." Try this test for yourself before you check out how Time magazine chose to categorize our remaining Supreme Court justices. Classify each justice as a "Staunch conservative," "Moderate Conservative," "Moderate Liberal" or […]
Nearly a month ago I noted a piece by National Review's media reporter Stephen Spruiell that gave the other side of the story to a sensationalistic column by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Susan Paynter. Paynter's column basically claimed that Marine recruiters had attempted to Shanghai a Seattle-area teen into the Corps -- a distortion of reality […]
New York Times reporter Judith Miller is in jail for refusing to reveal the name of one of her sources to a grand jury. This is as it should be. The grand jury has every right to demand the name from her; she has every right to refuse to give it. It's really too bad […]
This is the most bizarre "editor's note" I've seen in years. The Op-Ed page in some copies of Wednesday's newspaper carried an incorrect version of the below article about military recruitment. The article also briefly appeared on NYTimes.com before it was removed. The writer, an Army reserve officer, did not say, "Imagine my surprise the […]
