- Rolling Stone’s Bizarre Cheap Shot At Sarah Palin
March 28, 2011
I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...] - More Disgustingly Overt Reuters Bias
March 24, 2011
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...] - Bloomberg’s “Crash Tax”
March 24, 2011While reading last month’s issue of AAA’s Car & Travel magazine, I was surprised to discover that Bloomberg (with the FDNY behind him) is now trying to push a “crash tax” on anyone involved in a car accident, with such taxes ranging from $365 up to $490, depending on the severity of the crash. The [...]
- Obama’s Abu Ghraib
March 21, 2011The latest news out of Afghanistan is going to be really interesting to follow, if only to see how the media handles it. According to the Guardian and other (so far relatively few) sources, pictures have now made their way out of Afghanistan (courtesy of Germany’s Der Spiegel) showing brutal and psychopathic activities by U.S. [...]
- Sympathy For Israel? Time To Restore “Balance”!
March 16, 2011
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]

Journalism
Left-Wing Crazies
Listen to the mainstream media long enough and you’ll take it for granted that the right-wing fringe is replete with dangerous lunatics and psychos—the counterpart of which you’ll almost never hear about on the left. The Weekly Standard’s Scrapbook cleared up that serious misconception, pointing out how it’s the complete opposite that is closer... »
CBS Affiliate Attempting To Malign GOP Candidate
A GOP candidate without any skeletons in his closet is apparently a problem for the mainstream media—a CBS affiliate in this particular instance—and, so, they start brainstorming to come up with creative ways of pinning negative stories to the candidate. Of course, people who believe that are typically called “conspiracy theorists” or “paranoid”, but... »
Bowing to Islam
Mark Steyn has written a piece on the West’s growing habit of nauseatingly kowtowing to Islam and walking on eggshells whenever anything Islamic comes into the picture, to the point of employing blatant and ridiculous double standards. This is Steyn truly at his best! He writes: While I’ve been talking about free speech in... »
Reuters Doctoring Flotilla Photos – UPDATED
Little Green Footballs has busted Reuters for cropping out an “activist’s” knife from a photo taken on board the Mavi Marmara. The original photo, published by Turkey’s Hurriyet (and, to their credit, by AP) clearly shows one of a group of “activists” standing over a wounded Israeli soldier (in the lower right corner of... »
The Wicked Witch of the White House Press Corps
RabbiLive.com has posted an explosive video on YouTube showing Helen Thomas, the most famous member of the White House press corps, making unbelievably insensitive anti-Semitic remarks, telling Jews to “get the hell out of ‘Palestine’” and to “go home” to Germany and Poland. To add insult to injury, these comments were made while attending... »
Obama Christ
If anyone has any doubt as to what the New York Times thinks of Obama, one needs to look no further than this devoutly doctored image that graces their web site: »
More Blatant Reuters Bias
I couldn’t help but seethe as I read a recent “news alert” from Reuters AlertNet, loaded with an unbelievable amount of spin and bias. The story involves Muslims hurling rocks at Jews from above, as the Jews pray below harmlessly at the Western Wall. Note that these large rocks (sometimes euphemized as “stones”) can cause—and... »
AP: “Anti-Palin”
Apparently AP stands for more than just “Associated Press” these days. I recently posted about James Taranto’s critique of the AP’s critique of Sarah Palin’s new book. Actual critique aside, FOXNews points out that the AP, the “Anti-Palin”, has dedicated eleven reporters to fact-checking Sarah Palin’s new book, whereas they never at all bothered to... »
FOXNews – White House Detente
Politico has been all over a story today regarding the news that the White House is finally granting an interview to FOXNews. First, it was leaked, then passively denied by the White House, then confirmed by FOXNews, then admitted by the White House. Sure, it’s an interview conducted in a series of interviews being... »
AP Reviews Palin’s New Book
James Taranto writes a great piece today in his “Best of the Web” on a recent review of Sarah Palin’s new book, Going Rogue, by a whole slew of AP reporters: It’s said that Sarah Palin had help writing her new book, “Going Rogue.” Not nearly as much help, though, as the Associated Press’s... »
Obama Fights Losing Battle With FOX News
It seems to have become “official” in the last few weeks. Obama and his administration have decided to vilify and ostracize Fox News, the nations premier news organization boasting viewer ratios of 2:1 and greater over most other news channels, and viewers from every part of the political spectrum. With those numbers, this is... »
A Technical Glitch With Amazing Precision
I’ve been working in the technology industry all my life and I have yet to encounter a “technical glitch” with this amazing level of precision. The Guardian, a newspaper not exactly known for ever having anything nice to say about Israel, published a listing of what it referred to as “every peace prize winner... »
Dead Palestinians Only Matter If Killed By Israel
I recently posted about an incident in Gaza where Palestinians clashed with one another, resulting in 28 Palestinians killed and more than 120 wounded. Tim Marshall, the foreign affairs editor at Sky News, took an obvious, but always interesting, perspective on this story when he recently blogged about the double standard that exists in which dead... »
The New York Times: Just the Facts?
New York Times coverage often supports the Palestinian narrative without placing events in greater context. Headlines, eyewitness accounts, and images depicted the Gaza conflict as Israeli aggression against Palestinian civilians. Settlements are misrepresented by having images of tiny outposts accompany articles about settlements. Issues such as Palestinian incitement are downplayed or ignored. »
God, Guns, Guts, and American Pickup Trucks
If I needed a pickup truck, I think I would actually go all the way out to Missouri just to give this principled, intelligent guy, Mark Muller, and his company, Max Motors, my business (as well as to shake his hand and give him some respect for not letting CNN step all over him): »
