This is old news, but I'm going to resurrect it because it follows a media storyline: Kerry is a flip-flopper. John Kerry had just pumped up a huge crowd in downtown West Palm Beach, promising to make the state a battleground for his quest to oust President Bush, when a local television journalist posed the […]

Today's anti-527 editorial in The New York Times is interesting for its subtle nod toward the reality that there are some 527s who are supporting Sen. John Kerry. Campaign finance reform has accomplished a good deal in forcing the parties to rely on relatively modest individual donations. But thanks to the F.E.C., the nation's Potemkin […]

I wish I could've been there tonight to see Rudy Giuliani's speech in person. It was a thing of beauty. What most of the media will focus on is the attacks on John Kerry's flip-floppity nature ("John Kerry's record of inconsistent positions on combatting terrorism gives us no confidence he'll pursue such a determined course."). […]

Two French journalists have been kidnapped by terrorists in Iraq. The French had believed that their opposition to the war in Iraq would act to inoculate their citizens against Islamic terrorism. They were wrong. Instead, the terrorists are demanding that France "reconsider" its law banning overtly religious symbols in schools -- specifically the muslim headscarve […]

Patterico points to some analysis made by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Debra Saunders -- one of the minority conservatives in the media -- on the voting tendencies of journalists.

I would like to […]

You know it's bad when they won't even try to fake it any more. National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru reports on an e-mail response from Reuters to a press release sent out by the National Right to Life committee. What's your plan for parenting & educating all the unwanted children you people want to bring into […]

The former editor of the New York Times has taken on the serious subject of President Bush's intelligence, or, from his analysis, the lack thereof. Bush's former counselor Karen Hughes, in her awkwardly named book "Ten Minutes From Normal," assures us that what "Bush does best of all" is "ask questions that bore to the […]

It should come as no surprise that the man who just a couple of weeks ago took umbrage at being called a quasi-socialst comes out today for the government taking over the healthcare industry. Paul Krugman's column today endorses the nationalization of a huge chunk of the American economy. Does this mean that the American […]

From today's New York Times: [A] front-page article on Aug. 4 about evidence that Islamic groups are training fighters in Pakistan and sending them into Afghanistan misstated the nature of a 1998 American air strike on a militant training camp in Afghanistan. It was carried out with cruise missiles fired from ships in the Arabian […]
