Yesterday, Democratic Rep. Russ Carnahan of Missouri held a town hall event. Unfortunately, Rep. Carnahan didn’t really want to hear what the public had to say. Instead of opening the front doors to let those waiting to attend in, they snuck SEIU union members in the side door in a successful move to stack the […]
The dumbest thing the news media does on a regular basis is failing to identify corrupt Democrats in news stories. It’s stupid because it fools no one but continues to erode what little trust anyone has in the media. Today former Democratic Rep. William “Cold Cash” Jefferson was convicted on 11 of 16 counts of […]
From the “I can’t make this up” file: The editor-in-chief of American Vogue, Anna Wintour, proposed a novel solution to the problems that plague clothing retailers at a recent industry meeting. And by "novel" we mean "she's completely clueless." The Vogue editor stood up to offer, "Could someone lead a committee that would make ground […]
I’ve noted before that Politifact.com, despite its Pulitzer Prize and its claims of nonpartisanship, nonetheless does what it can to shield President Obama as best it can from having to call one of his hundreds of campaign promises “broken.” That trend has continued. As I noted last week, Democrats in Congress had assailed Obama for […]
On Friday, Instapundit Glenn Reynolds linked to this blog post from the Asheville Tea Party organization revealing that the Asheville Citizen-Times reporter covering local health care issues was also speaking at rallies in support of Democratic health care reform efforts while at the same time taking pictures for the paper. But it's not just reporter/activist […]
It looks like the forces of democracy are standing strong and wannabe strongman Manuel Zelaya will not be allowed to return to Honduras as president. It would be nice if the Obama administration would take this opportunity to reconsider its decision to side with the likes of Raul Castro, Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chavez, but […]
Pulitzer Prize-winning Web site Politifact.com has come under fire here at Hoystory for several months because of its tendency to consult left-wing sources and then use them to discredit conservatives and prop up President Obama. Now, I’m not usually a defender of Ann Coulter, but Politifact.com decides to give a statement that she made regarding […]
The classic TV show “Hogan’s Heroes” featured a stocky Sgt. Schultz who could be counted on at least once an episode to unequivocally state: “I know nothing. Nooothinnngg!” In a conference call with liberal bloggers this morning, Obama revealed that he’s “not familiar” with the House version of the health care reform bill he’s been […]
I know what you’re thinking: “Then who are they going to put on the air?” On a more serious note, Susan Roesgen, the reporter who saw her job at a tea party protest to present the Democratic argument for big spending government didn’t have her contract renewed. You all know what this means: She’ll be […]
Amidst all of the media overkill of Michael Jackson’s death, the sacrifices of our military men and women have gotten even shorter shrift than has been typical from much of the media. So, it was refreshing to read this piece in yesterday’s Washington Post about the return of Lt. Brian Bradshaw to the U.S. Bradshaw […]
