Rush Limbaugh’s broadcast a year ago on the day of Andrew Breibart’s death, March 1, 2012.

One of the best memorials I’ve heard.

Long before Bob Woodward mentioned even a word about the “you will regret” email, the media was rising up in a frenzy to preserve Obama’s campaign narrative that the sequester was forced on Obama and that it always included more taxes.

Bob Woodward almost single-handedly took down that narrative through his original...

Michael Goldfarb declined to be interviewed “in person” for the article about him being written by Jim Rutenberg of The New York Times.

There’s no sense in cooperating with people who are out to get you, and Rutenberg was out to get Goldfarb.  When the NY Times profiles a conservative in general,...

The mainstream media, egged on by Democrats, is trying to pin the “McCarthy” label on Ted Cruz.

It doesn’t matter whether there is a basis, all that matters is that there’s a name connection made.

Two of the biggies at Politico have a lead article today, Obama, the puppet master (emphasis mine):

President Barack Obama is a master at limiting, shaping and manipulating  media coverage of himself and his White House.

Not for the reason that conservatives suspect: namely, that a liberal press  willingly and eagerly allows itself to...

I doubt David Gregory intended to violate D.C.’s ban on the possession or transfer of high capacity ammunition magazines when he waved around such a magazine during his interview of Wayne LaPierre yesterday.

Prior to yesterday, I never would have thought that possession of an empty magazine, kept separate from ammunition or a...

Suffering through the top story in the arts section of yesterday’s Los Angeles Times, I thought of Andrew Breitbart, whom I knew a bit—enough to have had several conversations about how insidiously destructive the mainstream media are to American ideals.

Breitbart’s passion and mission in life were to counter that influence. So...
