NY Times and Fireman

June 6, 2005 – 8:13 am

The New York Times was one of those who took shots at President Bush over Kerry’s "opening firehouses in Baghdad and shutting them in the United States of America" sound bite. Sorry, no link, it is in the NYT’s archive which requires payment. They have taken numerous shots at Mayor Bloomberg over the same issue. […]

The AP’s on a roll today

June 2, 2005 – 5:08 pm

Didn’t I just post a bad headline by the AP earlier today? Yup. Now we get: Mexico police commander shot dead on U.S. border Perhaps I’m a bit sensitive about this kind of thing, as probably you, as political blog reader, are. But, as you read that, didn’t you think that maybe a US cop, […]

The AP is clueless

June 2, 2005 – 8:13 am

What’s wrong with this headline? Pakistan to Send al-Qaida Suspect to U.S. He’s not a suspect. Abu Farraj al-Libbi IS and Al-Queda member. Period. Get it right, AP. We all know that you and your leftist palls think it is made up. Buy a clue.

On Newstands Now!

May 26, 2005 – 10:21 am

Caught this story last night: Detainees told FBI interrogators as early as April 2002 that mistreatment of the Koran was widespread at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and many said they were severely beaten by captors there or in Afghanistan, according to FBI documents released yesterday. The summaries of FBI interviews, obtained by […]

So many nut jobs, so little time

April 26, 2005 – 8:15 am

The New York Times editorial staff sure likes to bring out some interesting attempts to take head shots at Bush and Co, don’t they? So much going on in the world, and virtually every editorial takes these shots, sometimes seemingly for the hell of it. Mo "woo woo woo woo woo woo" Dowd leads the […]

what the heck is wrong with these people?

April 19, 2005 – 9:33 am

Headline from an AP article: Cardinals Again Fail to Elect New Pope Why is everything such gloom and doom for the media? Was the headline really necessary? Why not simply "Cardinals still voting on new Pope?" Why did these asshats at the AP feel it necessary to put such a negative spin on this? All […]

AP making stories up. Again.

April 11, 2005 – 8:04 am

This is the lead paragraph from an AP story on John Bolton: Undersecretary of State John R. Bolton faced tough questioning Monday from Senate Democrats on his nomination to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Republicans were looking for swift approval from the Foreign Relations Committee. Notice the past tense. Notice the time […]

The Grey Lady is Still Blue

April 10, 2005 – 9:52 am

Yes, it is sorta blogless Sunday. For me, that means nothing serious. However, I could not let an obvious misrepresentation, and, realistically, outright lie, that the New York Times editorial staff go. In an editorial regarding the Patriot Act, they have made several errors. I would like to think that they are errors of omission, […]
