SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!
Remember when all the journalists laughed and laughed at President Obama's birth certificate jokes at the White House Correspondents Dinner? Well, it's not funny, anymore...now that GOP presidential rival Mitt Romney has made a light-hearted birth certificate joke of his own. It's full freak-out time for the Left and the Left Media. Water-carrying business as...
Read MoreJourno-tools For Obama by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 Can we stop calling the hosts of the presidential debates "moderators"? They're left-erators. It's time for the old media godfathers to end the pretense that they're fair and neutral observers of the American political scene. And it's time for the GOP to stop perpetuating these...
Read MoreScroll down for update... At RightOnline in Las Vegas this weekend, those of us in the "Just A Blogger" club hammered away at the MSM journalistic elites and their self-serving double standards. Fantastic keynote speaker Sarah Palin mocked the inhabitants of MakeUpCrap-istan who disparage investigative bloggers while manufacturing the news themselves to fit their agendas....
Read MoreNice media smackdown, Bryce Harper! *** We need to turn this phrase on its head, though. Every time Jay Carney hem-haws, a journalist needs to work up the courage to say: That's a clown answer, bro."
Last week on Hannity, we joked about the iconography and media worship making a comeback on TV airwaves and newspaper pages. I made reference to the old "Glowbama" phenomenon of halos and light. Right on cue, here's Reuters with its magical rainbow pic from Air Force One. Click for full-size. It's been a while since...
Read MoreScroll for updates... Let me quote from the National Public Radio ethics handbook: First, on "impartiality:" Impartiality Our experiences and perspectives are valuable assets to our journalism. We enjoy the right to robust personal lives, yet we accept some unique professional obligations and limitations. Because our words and actions can damage the public's opinion of...
Read MoreQuestion: Why isn't this national front-page news? Answer: Just as most national media outlets have dutifully whitewashed Barack Obama's ethics scandals, they're dutifully whitewashing their own. Ed Morrissey: The worst damage to the credibility of these journalists is probably the excuse they offered Gannett. According to Kevin Corrado, the president and publisher of Gannett’s Green...
Read MoreWhat's the matter with Soledad O'Brien? by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 CNN's Soledad O'Brien isn't used to criticism. In the world of media elites, she's a beloved figure and an award-winning news anchor. But last week, she revealed her true, decidedly non-neutral colors. And she's not happy about the hoi polloi questioning her...
Read MoreThis was attached to the end of a nauseating Boston Globe article celebrating the amorous relations between Occupy protesters: Editor’s note: This story about relationships that began during Occupy Boston featured a man, Robert Stitham, who is a registered sex offender, according to state records. Had his status been discovered during reporting, the story would...
Read MoreYes, again. Those bulldozers are working overtime. Over Thanksgiving, I told you about the last batch of White House visitor logs quietly dumped over a busy holiday season. I noted MSNBC host Rachel Maddow's August 5 visit (along with several other prog media personalities). It was her fifth visit to Casa Obama; she didn't respond...
Read MorePeople make honest mistakes. When right-leaning people make them, Soros-funded Media Matters turns it into Apocalypse Now and an opportunity to discredit all of conservatism. But when liberal journos err, it's like the proverbial trees falling in the forest. Does anybody hear the muffled sound? Last night while I was on Twitter, a few left-leaning...
Read MoreWow. Just wow. (h/t Dan Collins) Huffington Post explains (h/t collegepolitico Stephen Gutowski): Like Dan says: "What if this had happened on Fox?" Over to you, NAACP, Al Sharpton, the Congressional Black Caucus, and FCC.
Don't screw with me! Joe Biden: Beltway Bubble Boy by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2011 Last fall, before the midterm shellacking, Vice President Joe Biden admonished rank-and-file Democratic voters to "stop whining." Uncle Tough Guy should practice what he screeches. The 2012 campaign has barely begun, but Biden's thin skin makes a spring roll...
Read MoreI'm sure you all saw what the Washington Post did this weekend. The newspaper tried to macaca Rick Perry. The frenzy is over a now-overturned stone on a secluded property -- "associated" with Perry through his father, partners or his signature on a lease -- that once had the word "Niggerhead" painted on it. The...
Read MoreHeads are rolling in the News of the World hacking scandal aftermath. As they should be. Several editors and London police officials have resigned. More are undoubtedly on the way. A former NoTW reporter-turned-whisteblower who suffered from drug and alcohol addictions has now tragically turned up dead -- compounding a global media tragedy that has...
Read MoreIn January, I published "The progressive 'climate of hate:' An illustrated primer, 2000-2010." Review it here. Part IV was a section on anti-conservative female hate, with tons of links on the sexist rhetoric of the Left. You'll recall that the “M” in MSNBC stands for misogyny. Here's a new entrant in the race to the...
Read MoreIt's time for the MSM to put its drool buckets in permanent storage. In the past month, we've had: -- The Pleasanton (CA) Weekly bullied by the White House press shop over a benign article that irked the administration because it made Michelle Obama look snooty. -- The San Francisco Chronicle punished by the White...
Read MoreSan Fran new media ban.
Most open, high-tech, accessible administration....(n)ever. Yes, it's true. The social media-darling-in-chief has banned a San Francisco Chronicle reporter for using her cell phone to capture video of left-wing protesters at the Bay Area Obama fundraiser earlier this week. Banned. The White House press shop refuses to comment on the record about it -- and, no...
Read MoreIf the obscure and has-been comedians who appear on National Public Radio want to mock conservatives and spread left-wing propaganda, they should do it on their own damned dime. The government-sponsored radio conglomerate broadcasts a weekend show called "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" It leans heavily on laugh tracks to prop up the lame punchlines of...
Read MoreThis moronic attack started percolating on the blogs and Twitter over the past week: Fox News hosts and contributors including Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, yours truly, and others are greedy, union-bashing hypocrites who are card-carrying members of AFTRA. Here's a typical rant: And here's another: Glenn Beck and the rest of the Fox...
Read MoreLara Logan in Cairo on Friday before she suffered a sustained beating and gang sexual assault. Image: CBS I haven't always had kind words for CBS News, but I've always admired reporter Lara Logan's guts and willingness to report on the ground and on the battlefield around the world -- even if I didn't agree...
Read MoreThe anchor who once shouted that he "wished he brought a gun to work" after his Magic Screen malfunctioned (h/t Allahpundit), and who works for the network that made "Crossfire" famous (see Doug Powers for an iconic screenshot), is now interrupting his show for real-time p.c. language self-policing of guests who use the term "crosshairs:"...
Read MoreEn fuego!
En fuego! Man, I thought those Palin-bashers who didn't know when the Boston Tea Party occurred took the hate cake. I was wrong. Here's the errrrrrudite liberal journo Richard Wolffe mocking Sarah Palin for citing famed, beloved Christian author, novelist, lay theologian, and apologist C.S. Lewis as a source of divine inspiration (via The Daily...
Read MoreThe media is filled with left-wing activists. The race card is the first and last refuge of liberal scoundrels. The race-card playing liberals in the media tried their best to whitewash Barack Obama's radical ties to Jeremiah Wright and other race demagogues. We hold these truths to be self-evident, but it's always useful to see...
Read MoreI've been flagging the MSM newspaper bailout campaign for the last two years (chronology recap here). The clamor for big government to rescue old media has not died now. The latest? Columbia University president Lee Bollinger doing the Chicken Little routine in the pages of the Wall Street Journal. Really: We have entered a momentous...
