Crap. I Agree With The HuffPo On Brian Williams

April 14, 2007 – 10:20 pm

Seems as if Brian Williams (who at least has higher ratings then Katie C) has an issue with bloggers (via Dean Barnet at Hugh Hewitt's) "You're going to be up against people who have an opinion, a modem, and a bathrobe. All of my life, developing credentials to cover my field of work, and now […]

Loose Libs Media Mistakes

April 13, 2007 – 10:53 am

In case you haven't noticed, I haven't posted on the whole Imus issue. I've left plenty of comments on other sites, including this fine post by Beth at Blue Star Chronicles. It's been more fun and interesting commenting, then doing research and keeping up with what is going on with Imus, a media person I […]

March 30, 2007 – 8:18 pm

Obviously, those in the Left leaning media are worried about Rudy getting the Republican nomination, hence: NEW YORK – Rudy Giuliani's White House aspirations are inescapably tied to Sept. 11, 2001 — for better and for worse. While the former mayor of the nation's largest city was widely lionized for his post-9/11 leadership — "Churchillian" […]

LA Times Goes Nutroots

March 3, 2007 – 8:07 am

Oh, my. Amazing what passes for journalistic standards these days (h/t Michelle. Woops, picked the wrong post. Meant to be this one) IF YOU HATED IT the first time, you might like the sequel better. Remember Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the right-wing goon squad whose defamatory insinuations helped sink John Kerry's presidential campaign? They're […]

Today’s Iraq News

February 24, 2007 – 12:24 pm

It starts out with the al-AP telling us we are stoopid for understimating and not thinking about how many civilians have died during Operation Iraqi Freedom. A subtle way to remind us that we as Americans are jerks, occupiers, terrible people, and should pull out right now. Don't worry about the possible full blown civil […]

Michelle Manhart, Air Force SGT Who Posed Nude, Discharge?

February 15, 2007 – 3:27 pm

I have to wonder what the motives of the USA Today were. Intentionally misleading/lying? Simply clueless? Flame bait? Traffic bait? Their headline reads "Drill sergeant who posed nude discharged." That couldn't be farther from the truth, as the story itself, taken right from the AP, shows An Air Force drill sergeant and former Iowa National […]

Beer Monday Linkfest: Insurgents Waxed and Other Developments

January 29, 2007 – 8:07 am

Good Monday to all. How about a beer? No clue why people have gotten upset about this commercial. Maybe it was some sort of PETA protest? CNN has a story this morning about a battle in Najaf. Let's look at the highlights, shall we? A pitched battle between U.S.-backed Iraqi troops and insurgents raged into […]

Is Coverup Worse Then Crime In The Plame Affair?

January 14, 2007 – 1:51 pm

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

January 2, 2007 – 7:42 am

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 […]
