That title should get me some Google hits, and it has the bonus of being true. Dowd takes aim at both Mel Gibson for his film "The Passion" and President Bush for opposing gay marriage. She's mad at Mel because "The Passion" made her feel angry and violent. Solution: Take some valium. She's mad at […]
I mentioned the case of George Meagher and his recycled quote on Sunday. Well, the New York Times has corrected their mistake -- and Meagher's an independent. I'm still waiting for formal word from public editor Daniel Okrent on what the Times policy is on recycling man-on-the-street quotes.
Instapundit picked up this item on The New York Times apparently recycling a quote and changing the party affiliation of the individual quoted to better fit the premise of the story. This incident has resulted in my first e-mail to Times public editor Daniel Okrent, politely asking for an explanation. I'll report what I learn. […]
I just got done reading a little recounting of a hysterical post by Eric "What Liberal Media" Alterman over at RealClearPolitics and just had to point one thing out. This is delusional in the extreme. "Sensible" people have "only one hope"? Liberals bemoan the fact that Bush has used fear to divide the country since […]
Fox News' "Special Report with Brit Hume" did a little report on the swank Georgetown digs that Democrat Senators John Kerry and John Edwards live in (Edwards owns his; Kerry's wife, Madame Ketchup owns the other). Both of the homes are more than 100 years old and each is worth north of $3 million. So, […]
I watched most of Mel Gibson's interview on ABC last night (I think I missed the first 5-10 minutes) and was impressed. Gibson's description of the flaws in the past and how, by the grace of God, he finally overcame many of them, was inspiring. I'll see the "Passion" when it comes out -- probably […]
The Alabama National Guard base commander who Democrats have cited as an authority on "Bush never showed up" claim, suffers from Alzheimer's. Retired Brig. Gen. William Turnipseed, the 187th's Tactical Reconnaissance Group's former commander, recanted his statement that he couldn't remember if Bush reported for duty, now saying his memory is faulty because he's in […]
So, Donald Luskin gets quoted in the New York Times as part of a non-Paul Krugman related story. Now, not only did the reporter apparently mischaracterize the substance of Luskin's position, but also screwed up the name of his company. So today's Times runs the following correction on the name mistake -- not the substance […]
From London's Guardian newspaper: Fresh from his latest win in Maine, the favourite to challenge George Bush for the US presidency has secured the financial support of some of the most powerful media moguls in the world. As John Kerry's campaign to secure the Democrat nomination - and with it a crack at the White […]
Just finished watching the recording of Sunday's "Meet the Press." Russert, true to form asked some tough questions. Second, Bush is no Alan Keyes when it comes to eloquence and sheer force of personality. If I'm handing out grades, I give Bush a "C". This interview wasn't a deciding factor for any voter. He probably […]
