Emperor: I may be naked, but I can still get you

13-Jul-09

Q:  What do Joe Wurzelbacher, Frank Ricci, and the CIA have in common?
A:  All of them embarrassed powerful liberal interests and got (or are getting) thoroughly trashed.
Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, gave Mr. Obama a bit of backtalk about wealth redistribution during the presidential campaign.  Liberals in state government knew just what to [...]

WaPo’s over-edited apology letter

05-Jul-09

The Washington Post got caught last week with all four hands and both feet in a rather obvious scam.  In my private opinion based on reading the published reports, it appears the WaPo got used by somebody within the Obama administration to set up a pay-to-play party on health care.  For a fee of thousands [...]

The WaPo sheds its integrity fig leaf

02-Jul-09

The Washington Post has been cashing in on access to Obama officials.  Caught green-handed, they’re looking for a climbdown.  The mainstream media do not have enough integrity left to convince an honest man of his own name.  This appears to my untrained eye to have been a meeting to flesh out the plans ObamaCare® and [...]

Obolatry

06-Jun-09

Some things speak for themselves.  Follow this link to see Evan Thomas from Newsweek gushing in an unguarded moment of latria adoration for Mr. Obama.  No kidding, I’ve never seen anything like this directed toward a political figure in my lifetime, not in America, not anywhere.  The most significant quote from Thomas, “I mean in [...]

Some not-news about the news

23-May-09

The mainstream media’s slobbery, puppy-tail-waggy adoration of Mr. Obama, embarrassing as it is, shows no signs of letting up.  They remind me of my late uncle Jack West talking about his son’s brittany spaniel.  “You can just see the love in a dog’s eyes,” he said.
Ah, yes.  Love in a dog’s eyes.  And speaking of [...]

Not missing and not a link

21-May-09

This is about as fast as I’ve ever seen the backtrack letters issued after an overblown media campaign for a fossil.  The “King Julian” fossil of an apparent lemur was greeted with the Darwinists’ equivalent of hosanna, but in this case, the rocks actually are crying out.  And they’re saying this was all a stupid [...]

Freedom, abused, is lost

15-Mar-09

The mainstream media spend a good deal of time these days lamenting the demise of newspapers.  Lots of papers are going bust, and for good reason.  For the past forty or fifty years, they’ve made leftwing activism the core business of “respectable” newspapering.
Sure, it was their right.  But it was an abuse of their right, [...]

Big, black eye

06-Mar-09

CBS is in financial trouble.  You have to wonder if their financial reports are fake but accurate.  Mainstream media such as CBS have exchanged their calling as the Fourth Estate to become a wing of the Democrat Party.  Nobody trusts them any more.

Obamolatry

22-Jan-09

The glorification of Mr. Obama is getting weirder.  I happened to catch a bit of CNN last Monday and found their coverage surprising, even taking their leftism and my cynicism into account.  There was an ad for some special Obama gear they were hawking.  Their link to a video of Mr. Obama taking the oath [...]

PC follies

28-Nov-08

Powerline has a nice example of how political correctness makes the news media go stupid when they’re trying to be smart.  As a general rule, distortion occurs when news reporting attempts anything other than stating the bare facts relevant to a story.  And when was the last time you heard a news report from the [...]

Tails Wagging at the WaPo

25-Nov-08

You’d think the mainstream press would worry about continuing to be viewed as a poodle for Mr. Obama.  But you’d be mistaken if you did.  How long will it be before this pooch is too embarrassed to be seen in public?
Obama’s campaign showed us a candidate of maximum cool…  It’s now clear that he will [...]
