The New Republic continues to stonewall on the Scott Thomas Beauchamp fabulism. Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee reports over at Pajamas Media that TNR's vaunted fact-checking department didn't actually do any fact-checking. And here's the bit that hurts the most: While TNR complains that they can't get Beauchamp to talk to them, he manages to […]
You'd think that whole First Amendment thing about freedom of speech and the press and the whole "shall make no law abridging" the aforementioned would've gotten into the political class sometime in the past 200+ years. You can cut them a little slack however, after the Supreme Court upheld McCain-Feingold's restrictions on politcal ads by […]
Sometimes karma takes awhile to catch up with you. However, when it does, you better hope it doesn't crack three of your ribs. (via Powerline which has video) If he didn't believe in karma before, Piers Morgan must surely do now. The ex-newspaper editor, now a columnist for The Mail on Sunday's Live magazine, took […]
I mentioned last week that at least 25 newspapers, including the Washington Post had declined to publish Berkeley Breathed's "Opus" cartoon these last two Sundays because of its "questionable content." The content in question being the mocking of "radical Islam." With last week's comic there was a slim possibility that some papers bowed out because […]
This post has been updated. The New York Times editorial board is a partisan, ideologically homogeneous cadre of elite leftist thinking -- not that there's anything wrong with that. The problem is that their partisanship often takes the truth out into the alley out back, beats the tar out of it and leaves it bruised […]
I was always a big "Bloom County" fan growing up. I loved the idea of pear pimples for hairy fishnuts and the torrid affair between U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick and Bill the Cat was hilarious. When cartoonist Berkeley Breathed made political points, he was never as overbearing and unfunny as Garry Trudeau's "Doonesbury." Breathed is […]
Bill Moyers, who has spread his left-wing ideology for decades courtesy of your contributions to the Public Broadcasting System, is a hateful, despicable little man. And I may be putting it much too nicely. A little over a week ago, in the wake of the announcement of the resignation of presidential adviser Karl Rove, Moyers […]
Last month I noted that President George W. Bush was able to travel back in time to and set policies on dealing with terrorists during the Clinton administration. Well, he's done it again. From a New York Times editorial: When George W. Bush won the White House, Mr. Tenet seems to have shifted his priorities. […]
If you haven't had a chance to read it, head over to National Review Online and check out this article by former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy on The New York Times false reporting on the recent FISA fix. So, have you heard the latest? Your business records can now be taken away by Big Brother […]
A couple of years back, San Diego Police released the mug shot and name of a 17-year-old murder suspect to the local media. The kid was on the loose and, in the standard law-enforcement wording, "armed and dangerous." A journalistic judgement had to to be made. Does the newspaper run the mug shot? The initial […]
