There’s pretty much doom and gloom all the time in the right blogosphere.
Most of the bloggers I follow are having a hard time staying away from sharp objects as we glance towards November and the possibility of the teflon president tefloning his way towards a tefloned personal popularity by the tefloning mainstream...
Hollywood constantly has its thumb on the political scale.
Whether it’s late night talk show hosts, SNL, or sitcoms, the political pressure always heads in one direction:
Sunday’s episode of “Mad Men” — the popular drama about an ad agency in the 1960s — gave a nod to the current political scene, with...
Via The Crawdad Hole, a very interesting chart of FBI crime statistics for 2009.
What it shows is that whites kill whites, and blacks kill blacks. And interestingly, “other” kills “other.”
It’s not the narrative heard much in the media, because it does not play into stereotypes as to violence.
Adam Kinzinger, a first term Congressman who was backed by Eric Cantor, defeated 10-term incumbent Don Mazullo. Kinzinger had won election in 2010 with the support of Tea Party groups, but many conservative / Tea Party groups supported Mazullo in the new district which pitted two Republican incumbents. Perhaps readers can explain...
Gawker Media’s websites, particularly its flagship Gawker website, are notorious gossipers.
Gawker in many ways is an equal opportunity attacker, but two of its highest profile stories were sexualized attacks against conservative female politicians.
Wonkette, known for going after Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin and other conservative women, was started by Gawker Media but spun...
There’s another “victim” of Rush Limbaugh, according to Adam Clark Estes at The Atlantic Wire, Rush Limbaugh’s Latest Verbal Victim Feels Derided, Dismissed:
Less than a week after calling Sandra Fluke a “slut” on the air, Rush Limbaugh ran his mouth again on Tuesday, calling investigative journalist Tracie McMillan a “babe”, an...
Good for Newt for pushing back against David Gregory.
This segment epitomizes almost everything about how the MSM tries to frame the narrative against conservatives and particularly against religious Christians.
It actually got worse. After Newt, Gregory did the same thing to Eric Cantor, and then demanded to know from Cantor why Republicans...
Liberal groups have seized on a strategy I didn’t think would be effective, but has had some success, to go after advertisers of prominent conservative media personalities.
Media Matters explicitly seeks to bring down Fox News and investigate its executives, and Fox News advertisers have been targeted by groups like Color of...
In addition to the line quoted in the title, listen to what Breitbart told him the core of the problem was: The media.
Nothing proves how right Breitbart was as the last few days of complete and utter absurdity regarding Sandra Fluke. Her testimony should have been taken apart by any self...
With Andrew Breitbart’s death this week, one of the most persistent falsehoods has resurfaced, the claim that the original tape released of Shirley Sherrod’s speech to an NAACP Chapter was misleading or defamatory in that it did not reveal that Sherrod’s discrimination against a white farmer was long ago, that she ended up...
Being the mainstream media means making birth control an election issue, then wondering aloud why birth control is an election issue.
Disingenuous Tweet of the Day:
The tweet links to an article titled Birth control as election issue? Why?
The issue of birth control has suddenly become an obsession of the 2012 presidential campaign. To...
When Foster Friess, a funder of a pro-Santorum SuperPAC, made a joke about birth control in the old days (that women kept an aspirin between their knees, meaning they kept their legs closed and were not promiscuous), there was outrage (on the internet pronounced OUTRAGE) from various quarters.
In responding to questions,...
Interesting theory from Steve Kates at the Catallaxy Files (“Australia’s leading libertarian and centre-right blog”) that Obama does not want to run against Romney and that exciting the religious base in the Republican Party decreases Romney’s chances.
I’m not sure I agree with what amounts to a double-manipulation theory. I agree with Dan Riehl...
Dick Morris appeared on Hannity last night (h/t @TheAnchoress) and made a connection between the J...
Remember when George Stephanopoulos, at the New Hampshire Republican debate on January 7, brought up and harped on whether the candidates thought states could ban contraception?
Everyone, at least on our side of the aisle, shook their heads in disbelief as to why Stephanopoulos was bringing up the issue. There was no active...
We are at the mercy of misleading statistics which nonetheless form the media narrative.
I posted earlier today about workers leaving the workforce in droves, which drives down the nominal unemployment rate and renders it a misleading statistic. Yet the details are the details, and the headlines are the headlines.
Here are...
