Remember when Charles Blow of The New York Times was fussing about the tea party’s supposed racism? Blow called the Dallas Tea Party “a minstrel show,” and a “bizarre spoof of a 1980s Benetton ad.” He sneered, “It was a farce … It’s almost all white.” Or this column, in which he glowered, “It has [...]

Friday Crib Sheet: Maddow vs Politifact; NPR Debuts New Ethics Book

- Rachel Maddow and Politifact engage in giant slapfight: On her Dec. 20 show, Maddow said, “Today, the self-proclaimed but quickly becoming irrelevant Web site PolitiFact declared the idea that Republicans voted to end Medicare their lie of the year for 2011. That comes after lots of lobbying by Paul Ryan for that to be declared [...]

Radical Protester Cindy Sheehan Sued by Feds

Remember when Cindy Sheehan was relevant? In 2004, when the media was desperately seeking a face for the anti-Bush left, Sheehan leapt before the cameras and staked her claim. Her son, U.S. Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, had been killed in Iraq. So she decided to set up what was, in retrospect, the first occupy tent [...]

Russia Today (RT) Offers a New, Progressive “American Dream”

From Accuracy in Media’s Cliff Kincaid: The Russia Today (RT) Moscow-funded propaganda channel, which is backing the murderous regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, aired a special program on Tuesday night on how progressives in the U.S. can “Take Back the American Dream” by defeating Republicans.

So What if Rubio Was a Mormon?

It’s time we start anticipating the “mainstream” media’s narratives and get ahead of them. We need to stop playing checkers and start playing chess. Yesterday the website BuzzFeed published an “exclusive” story about Florida Senator Marco Rubio once being a Mormon. In the compelling personal narrative that has helped prope […]

NYT’s Charles Blow Mocks Romney’s “Magic Underwear”

Wow. Déclassé. And I’m not even a Romney fan. From NRO: We just witnessed ESPN firing an employee for using the phrase “chink in the armor” in a headline about the New York Knicks’ Jeremy Lin. While no one could prove a desire to mock Lin’s ethnic heritage, and the employee expressed great regret for what he insisted was [...]

Fast and Furious Ignored At Arizona Debate, the State Where the Program Originated

Operation Fast and Furious should have been brought up in Arizona’s debate. I’ve no idea how you can have a debate in a border state that is being sued by the Obama administration for enforcing its immigration laws and yet not discuss this issue. The fault belongs to CNN and the politicians. Yes, the politicians could have [...]

Thursday Crib Sheet: Gas Prices Soar Faster Than News Can Report It

John King Twists Audience Question Around Completely to Protect Obama, and Iran, in #CNNDebate

During last night’s Republican presidential debate, a member of the audience stood up and asked the candidates a very simple question on Iran (my emphasis): QUESTION: Hi, my name is Ken Taylor (ph) from Wickenberg, Arizona and my question to all the candidates is, how do you plan on dealing with the growing nuclear threat in [...]

Will Karzai Now Apologize to Obama?

Troops at a Bagram Airfield were ensnared in controversy after burning copies of the Koran, it was revealed this week. The Korans, as reported by CNN, weren’t just Korans; they apparently also served as a form of communication between detainees with “extremist” writings in them: A military official said the materials were removed from the d […]
