I'm curious to see how Eric Alterman and his ilk who believe that the media -- especially News Corp.'s Fox News and The New York Post -- are part of a right-wing cabal react to this news. Five executives on Kerry's list joined him in Davenport, Iowa, today at what the campaign called an "economic […]
Vietnam vet Sen. John Kerry apparently isn't all that popular with the Marines. The Marines — two in uniform and two off-duty — were polite but curt while chatting with Kerry, answering most of his questions with a "yes, sir" or "no, sir." But they turned downright nasty after the Massachusetts senator thanked them "for […]
The Associated Press is reporting that Sen. John Kerry "narrowly trails" George W. Bush in the electoral college. John Kerry narrowly trails President Bush in the battle for the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, as he makes his case at the Democratic National Convention this week to topple the Republican incumbent. […]
National Review and The New Republic are having another one of their respectful and thoughtful "opinion duels" again this week. At issue is whether or not President Bush has "made America less democratic" -- and they don't mean that he's made it so there are fewer "Democrats." What is really interesting reading this debate and […]
It's a common complaint from the anti-religion left that President Bush injects his religious views into his speeches. For them, the mythical "wall of separation between church and state" is practically translated as public servants shall not talk about G-d. So what happens when the candidate of the G-dless left has this to say at […]
If you haven't been following Sen. John Kerry on the campaign trail, now is your chance to ketchup.
As I watched the news coverage yesterday of Sen. John Kerry's veep selection, I was struck by the utter stupidity of NBC's instapoll on the subject. When asked who would do a better job of running the country, 45 percent said Edwards, while 38 percent said Cheney. That finding runs counter to Bush's answer Wednesday […]
It's an election year, and the media continues to do a shoddy job of covering probably the most important presidential contest in more than two decades. It's a common lament, but the media spends much of its time not analyzing proposed policies or doing in-depth pieces on the candidates' records, but doing stories on the […]
A Roll Call article exposes a recent Los Angeles Times poll on the presidential race that gave Democrat Sen. John Kerry an unheard of 7 point lead. According to Roll Call, the survey sample was made up of 38 percent Democrats and only 25 percent Republicans. Why even make a play at accuracy at the […]
The New York Times is at it again. The first four paragraphs of its story on inaccuracies in political ads is Exhibit #9869872378235983374507324907. A record year for political advertising has brought with it a hail of televised exaggerations, omissions and mischaracterizations that pollsters say seem to be leaving voters with mistaken impressions of Senator John […]
