Exhibit A: Cartoonist/Columnist Ted Rall. His latest "column" is entitled "Authoritarians Gone Wild." You can bet the video won't be nearly as entertaining as the other line of "Gone Wild" productions. He has canceled elections in Iraq. He will probably cancel them in Afghanistan. Will George W. Bush put the kibosh on elections in the […]
First it was Cal Poly and the stifling of free speech, now it's my former employer the North County Times. As reported by Poynter's Jim Romenesko, the Times last week altered a photo of a youth softball player with the Union-Tribune logo on the back of her jersey.

But not a whole lot. Today the Times published an op-ed piece by Reps. Earl Blumenauer and Jim Leach which reveals to readers that both Republicans and Democrats play the gerrymandering game.

The Media Research Center has watched the reports of the death of segregationist Governor Lester Maddox of Georgia and reveals that no network mentioned his party affiliation.

Only in the land of the loony left does "freedom of expression" mean that citizens have the right to enjoy pornography in their public library. The Times complains that Internet filters […]
The Associated Press is reporting a story with the headline: "Six British MPs Killed in Southern Iraq." The problem? The MPs they're referring to are military police. When you're talking about the Brits, MP usually means "Members of Parliament."
There was a notable column posted last week over at TechCentralStation by James K. Glassman regarding the New York Times editorial page and its lack of gravitas. Like many, Glassman doesn't particularly care for wunderkind Paul Krugman: Look at the op-ed page of the Times itself. It deteriorated beyond recognition. Paul Krugman, once a respected […]
