NY Times: All The News That’s Fit To Twist

Tuesday, August 23, 2011

In light of some recent (although hardly surprising) reporting by the NY Times, my father had these particularly insightful comments to make, ending with a pair of questions that I challenge any honest person to answer: According to the “paper of record”, Israel’s killing of terrorists responsible for killing Israeli civilians (including children) ignited... »

Israel Naval Blockade Is Legal, According to the U.N.

Tom Gross, an renowned and influential journalist with years of expertise in Middle East reporting, reported on the recent UN commission that found Israel’s naval blockade to be legal, as reported in Israel’s Haaretz newspaper. As he often does, Gross added some great commentary of his own to the story: The Israeli paper Ha’aretz reports that “The... »

The Waterboarding Debate Continues

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

James Taranto posted this great piece in his Best of the Web Today column on the WSJ site: Administration officials and sympathizers have continued to fire back against the argument that the Osama bin Laden raid vindicates the Bush administration’s use of enhanced interrogation techniques, including waterboarding. As we noted Friday, the counterarguments have... »

Civil Libertarian Hypocrites

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

Marilyn Penn, blogging at Political Mavens, had this great piece last week: When it comes to provocateurs who are anti-American, the bastions of liberalism march in lockstep to defend whatever freedom is at stake.  Refusing to say the pledge of allegiance?  Freedom of speech.  Nazi march through a community of survivors?  Same and warum nicht?... »

Fayyad’s Advisor Shrugs Off School Bus Attack

Wednesday, April 13, 2011

Omar Al-Ghoul, one of PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad’s advisors, had the audacity to say this publicly regarding the Hamas attack on a school bus that left one young boy brain dead: The bus wasn’t that badly damaged, but Israel wants to use the attack on the bus as an excuse for its... »

Drop Dead, Goldstone

Tuesday, April 5, 2011

Hey Goldstone, nice of you to wake up. Now go back to sleep. Or, better yet, drop dead. I’ve posted many posts about Richard Goldstone’s libelous and scandalous report, and now, almost two years later, that buffoon wakes up and says “maybe I was wrong”.  It’s a bit late for that, the damage has... »

AP Fact-Checks Obama’s Speech!

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

Obama had another one of his usual bullcrap-laden speeches last night, which is no surprise given his irresistible attraction to the media.  But, here’s a nice surprise:  the media’s irresistible attraction to Obama may finally have reached its breaking point with the Libyan war. AP put out not one, but two distinct reports, both extremely critical... »

Rolling Stone’s Bizarre Cheap Shot At Sarah Palin

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... »

Barack Jintao

Sunday, March 27, 2011

The Weekly Standard’s “The Scrapbook”, always a great source for a cynical laugh or two, had this to say about Obama’s Sinophilia: Buried at the end of an otherwise milquetoast New York Times article (“Obama Seeks a Course of Pragmatism in the Middle East,” which THE SCRAPBOOK supposes is a generous interpretation of the... »

More Disgustingly Overt Reuters Bias

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... »

British MP Louise Bagshawe to BBC: Where Is Fogel Coverage?

Thursday, March 24, 2011

Louise Bagshawe, a British Member of Parliament, outraged at the lack of coverage on the BBC of the Fogel family massacre, has written a strong condemnation in the Telegraph today. Summarizing it would do it an injustice, so here it is in its entirety: Who is Tamar Fogel? The chances are that you will... »

Obama’s Abu Ghraib

Monday, March 21, 2011

The 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... »

Abba Eban Nostalgia

Friday, March 18, 2011

Here is a really amazing video (in three parts) of Abba Eban being grilled by Mike Wallace and coolly, gracefully replying with one slam dunk after another. We desperately need more people like Abba Eban (may his memory be blessed). »
