We heard that refrain a lot during the eight years George W. Bush was president. Leftists marching in parades were patriotic when they carried banners stating: “We support the troops when they shoot their officers.” Code Pink and their cohorts were patriots when they blocked the entrance of the Marine Corps recruiting office in Berkeley, […]
Pulitzer Prize-winning “fact-check” Web site Politifact.com has done it again. When last we criticized one of their findings, Politifact.com rated this statement by Rep. Mike Pence “half-true”: "To use money from the TARP fund in the manner that is being discussed by the White House and congressional Democrats would be a violation of the law." […]
So much for the “reality-based community.” Here’s The Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel in The Wall Street Journal offering advice to President Barack Obama in the wake of the Democrats’ loss of their 60-seat supermajority in the Senate on Tuesday. And here's a no-brainer: After a year of being knifed by the GOP at every […]
UPDATE Had to swap out the video because some moron added some bolshevik storytelling graphic to it and ruined it. This one appears to be unadulterated.
There’s lots of ways that the media can inject their biases into their coverage. Several years ago my case study of how The New York Times buried the lede in the the race for a Maryland Senate seat got me a mention in a media criticism textbook. But burying bad news deep down in a […]
Martha Coakley is the attorney general of the state of Massachusetts and the Democratic nominee to replace Sen. Ted Kennedy in Tuesday’s special election. Coakley shouldn’t be given any position of public trust – even dogcatcher – as Pulitzer Prize winner Dorothy Rabinowitz noted last week in the Wall Street Journal. I strongly encourage you […]
Jillian Bandes, a columnist over at Townhall.com, has a piece up likening the upcoming Senate race against California Democrat Barbara Boxer as a potential repeat of the Dede Scozzafava debacle in NY-23 last year in which RINO Scozzafava split the conservative vote allowing the Democrat to win the House seat. With memories of NY-23 fresh […]
On Christmas day, an al Qaeda-linked terrorist attempted to blow-up a passenger plane destined for Detroit. The “suspect,” Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, apparently had explosives sewn into his underwear which he tried, but failed, to detonate. Let’s debunk one bit of leftist dogma right off. Abudulmutallab was not poor and uneducated. Like the vast majority of […]
You know, it’s starting to be old hat bashing Politifact for its partisan “analysis” of various politicos’ statements, but this one is particularly outrageous. The target is GOP Rep. Mike Pence of Ohio Indiana and his “half true” statement is this: "To use money from the TARP fund in the manner that is being discussed […]
The Atlantic magazine’s Andrew Sullivan embarrassed himself and his publication during last year’s presidential campaign when he continually aired irresponsible and false claims that GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wasn’t the mother of Trig. Sullivan suggested that Palin was covering for her oldest daughter Bristol. Once it was revealed that Bristol too was pregnant […]
