Al Reuters Sympathy for Terrorist Family

While I am dealing with Al Reuters in the previous post, take a look at this (via Little Green Footballs) MORONI, Jan 10 (Reuters) – Relatives of fugitive al Qaeda suspect Fazul Abdullah Mohammed said on Wednesday they were keeping night vigils after the Comorian was targeted in a U.S. air strike in Somalia, where […]

Is Coverup Worse Then Crime In The Plame Affair?

Seriously, Al-Reuters actually asks this question The only criminal trial to result from a three-year investigation of government leaks begins on Tuesday and, as in previous Washington scandals, prosecutors will focus on the cover-up, not the crime. Rather than being charged with disclosing the identity of a clandestine CIA officer, former White House official Lewis […]

Tuesday Linkfest: The AP Sympathizes With Sunnis

We have seen those on the Left, including in the media, fawn over Saddam and sympathize with his execution over the last few days, forgetting what a monster he actually was. Now, the AP provides a sympathetic piece on Sunnis, apparently forgetting that it is the Sunnis who have been causing most of the problems […]

Al-Zawahiri: US Should Talk to Al Qaeda?

So says the headline. Is this Yahoo News playing games, or was this the headline that the AP released?   Nowhere in the story could I find any indication that Al-Z stated that the U.S. should talk to Al Qaeda, and it looks like most who picked up the AP story aren't even going there. […]

Silly Muslims, Trying To Bomb Another Mosque

What is with Muzzies? They pitch a fit and riot over some cartoons, but have no problem attempting to damage or destroy a Mosque. You know, that holy place that they worship (from DefenseLink) Iraqi police were patrolling yesterday when they found an improvised explosive device near a Samarra mosque’s doorway. “This action by the […]

Leftards That Actually Moved To Canada

Over at MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, decked out in a format designed to keep liberal trolls from sticking around, Sir Martin finds an article about Lefties (the Druckers) actually following through in their promise to leave the US if Bush won reelection in 2004 MY WIFE AND I AWOKE, as usual, to NPR. Before political […]

Quick Global Warming Post: Getting My Shovel And Hip Waders

More complete and utter misreported environmental news Bush pulled out of Kyoto in 2001, saying caps would cost jobs and the plan wrongly omitted targets for poor countries. You cannot pull out of something that you were never part of. The US Senate voted 95-0 on July 25th, 1997, against joining the Kyoto Protocol, which […]

And They Say Liberals Aren’t Weak On Terror

So why is this story not top billing on so many liberal news sites? Britain's spy chief has said authorities are tracking almost 30 terrorist plots to "kill people and damage our economy" and expressed concern over future terrorist attacks using chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. MI5 Director Eliza Manningham-Buller said in a speech released […]

Rove’s The Big Loser (WTF?)

I don't remember the media discussing this about Democratic architects after they lost, well, most everything over the past 20+ years In January, Karl Rove, the president’s chief political strategist, gave a speech that epitomized his breezy confidence about the future for the party. Republicans had gone from being “a minority party with little influence […]

Media Rule of 3 #34,584: US Forces Killed Reporter

Are you aware of the Rule Of 3? That is where what the media wants you to know, what they want to portray, is in the first three paragraphs of a story. Why? Put simply, it is because people tend to either not read past paragraph three or skim the story past paragraph 3. And […]
