Rove’s The Big Loser (WTF?)

November 9, 2006 – 1:43 pm

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

October 14, 2006 – 9:54 am

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 […]

WTW: Noks Threaten War?

October 11, 2006 – 8:58 am

Morning, y'all, Jebediah here. Ya know, there is a series of books by Jack McDevitt which mention a race of aliens called the Noks, who are very aggressive and perpetually at war, depleting their resources and killing off each other. Funny, because there are some Noks here on Earth, who are war like, agressive, and […]

Kyra Phillips Goes Top Ten

September 1, 2006 – 2:57 pm

[gv data=”s7UAS-7YtJ4″][/gv] Well, you have to admit that she is taking it well. She could have gone all wonky, or gotten a sense of humor. She did the latter. Good for her! Of course, while Michelle puts this under Blogger Happy Hour, on reflection, you have to wonder what a supposed "journalist" was doing hitting […]

CNN Takes A Potty Break

August 30, 2006 – 8:14 pm

Seriously, this was funny (h/t Indian Chris) [gv data=”dp7QhEeQF_o”][/gv] Woops! Aw, well, everyone makes miskates. However, I bet Kyra Phillips' sister in law won't be pleased (transcript from Newsbusters): Phillips: "..Brothers have to be, you know, protective. Except for mine. I’ve got to be protective of him…Yeah. He’s married, three kids, but his wife is […]

Hurricane John To Devastate Baja (?)

August 29, 2006 – 10:09 pm

Or so the front page headline would make one think  Click for full size. It says "Hurricane headed to baja could be category 4. But, what does the actual story say? John became the sixth Pacific hurricane of the season earlier in the day and quickly grew in strength with maximum sustained winds reaching 115 […]

Katrina 1/5 Insensitivity

August 29, 2006 – 2:20 pm

Today is the one year anniversary of Katrina. Now, perhaps many may find this insensitive, and take me to task, but, I think the media and the lefties, often one and the same, are over doing the issue. And, we know why. PPP. Petty partisan politics. Blame Bush. BDS. The media never made a huge […]

Thongs Greet Obama As He Goes All Photo Op

August 26, 2006 – 10:39 am

So, when United States Of America President George W. Bush goes to see the troops in Iraq on Thanksgiving, the press terms that a phony photo op. When W went to New Orleans on multiple occassions, particularly at the request of "Chocolate City" Nagin, the press called those visits photo ops. You know, because the […]

WTW: Remembering the Other Side

August 23, 2006 – 8:12 am

Morning, y’all, Jebediah here. And, I have a serious subject for this Wednesday. Journalistic responsibility. Now, I reckon I won’t beat this to death, but, I want to run this by folks. We in the right-o-sphere are constantly talking about the bias, spin, and sometimes, outright lies that come from the mainstream media. Yet, on […]

Where Are The Israeli Soldiers?

August 21, 2006 – 10:00 am

There are lots of whiny stories in the MSM and the Left-O-Sphere about Israel breaking the cease fire (there is no maybe or might have's from them.) But, are there any stories out there about the kidnapped Israeli soldiers, who still have not been returned? I wonder what the families of the soldiers have to […]
