An explanation, but not an excuse

A couple of weeks ago, the New Bedford (Mass.) Standard Times published a story about Homeland Security agents visiting a 22-year-old UMass-Dartmouth student after he checked out Mao Zedong's "Little Red Book". All of the horror of Big Brother reared its head and the news briefly sobered up the senior senator from Massachusetts enough that […]

On timing

I just got finished watching this week's "Fox News Watch" and loony liberal Neil Gabler and American University prof Jane Hall both saw nefarious pro-conservative intent in the New York Times' decision to hold the story of President Bush's surveillance of al Qaeda operatives/affiliates inside the U.S. during the 2004 election. They may very well […]

Only the New York Times

This is like shooting fish in a barrel. Only the New York Times editorial page can write a Christmas editorial, keep "Christmas" out of the headline and not mention Jesus once.

Duh

The reporting in the Wall Street Journal is usually really good. However, this [subscription required] has got to be the most stupid statement I've seen in any report on the new Xbox 360 and its effects on the videogame industry. The new Xbox 360 has been a big hit for Microsoft Corp. this season -- […]

No bias here

Editor & Publisher magazine -- the magazine of the newspaper industry -- doesn't even try to hide the bias of its editor Greg Mitchell. Headline: 'Impeachment' Talk, Pro and Con, Appears in Media at Last I've got no idea why impeachment is in quotes. Bad bias. Bad grammar.

The hardest substance on Earth

Diamonds, right? Wrong. The hardest substance on Earth is the skull of a New York Times editorial writer. Evidence? This. I'm only going to skewer the second paragraph, because after that, it's just meaningless. Virtually from the time he chose himself to be Mr. Bush's running mate in 2000, Because Bush can't make a decision […]

International spying

There's a line in "Die Hard 3" where Samuel L. Jackson's character tells Bruce Willis' character that he doesn't hate him because he's white, he hates him because "you're gonna get me killed." (Radio show Hugh Hewitt uses the sound clip liberally.) Well, if the majority Democrat view were national policy (Sen. Joe Lieberman and […]

Jonathan Alter, legal eagle

Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter reveals that President Bush had both New York Times executive editor Bill Keller and publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. in the oval office and pleaded with them not to reveal the NSA's surveillance of international communications during a time of war. (There is no word on whether or not the oval office […]

Big whoop

Tuesday's New York Times is reporting that in the wake of 9/11 attacks the government has finally come to its senses and is monitoring groups that publicly advocate violence and terrorism. Of course, that's not the way the Times characterizes it. Counterterrorism agents at the Federal Bureau of Investigation have conducted numerous surveillance and intelligence-gathering […]
