For the past couple of weeks, Fox News White House reporter Major Garrett has been trying to get flack Robert Gibbs to confirm or deny Rep. Joe Sestak’s claim that he was offered a job (allegedly Secretary of the Navy) in return for dropping out of his primary challenge against incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter. Such […]

Fox News’ Bret Baier today did the best interview of President Obama any journalist has done since he first began running for president when he was in college. Unlike the sycophants in the rest of the mainstream media, Baier repeatedly returned to questions that Obama failed to answer the first time as he went off […]

A couple months back, Editor & Publisher magazine – often referred to as the bible of the newspaper industry – was shut down. (It has since re-opened under new management.)

The only news hook for this post is the fact that it’s been bugging me for months and I haven’t written about it. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama characterized U.S. policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan as little more than indiscriminate bombing. "Now you have narco drug lords who are helping to finance the […]

Tom Hanks is a fine actor. He’s also done a lot of good work on bringing some American history to the big and small screens – including “Band of Brothers,” and “John Adams.” But it appears as though his latest project is more of the typical Hollywood fare – America is evil and racist. But […]

Politifact.com, which is routinely an object of scorn here, has this interesting bit in its latest mailbag feature. There are the e-mailers who criticize us generally for perceived liberal bias.
