A pro-union blogger impersonated David Koch in order to get through to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.  The blogger, pretending to be Koch, made numerous inflammatory and outrageous comments hoping to get a reaction from Walker.  The blogger recorded the phone call, and then released the phone call, causing a political firestorm directed at...

from his plan to scale back (not eliminate) collective bargaining for state workers.  And contrary to the general mainstream media spin that Walker was rewarding a politically supportive group, perhaps Walker realized that when contronting the public sector unions, he would need all the protection he could get (image via

When it came to overthrowing Hosni Mubarek, the western media thrust itself into the situation and portrayed the uprising as a western-style demand for freedom.

The television screens were filled with stories of relatively western figures such as Google employee Wael Ghonim, who became the face of the new Egypt — educated,...

To its credit, The New York Times ran the video produced by the Wisconsin Republican Party of signs carried by union protesters against the Governor of Wisconsin (featured in my post here), under the headline Republicans Accuse Liberals of Hateful Rhetoric in Wisconsin:

The Republican Party of Wisconsin has produced a striking web video highlighting...

The New York Times has a story on the return of Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi to Egypt (emphasis mine):

Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an influential Sunni cleric who is banned from the United States and Britain for supporting violence against Israel and American forces in Iraq, delivered his first public sermon here in 50...

Now this represents real change. 

After two years of using the pages of The NY Times to lash out at peaceful health care protesters and Tea Parties, the Board of Editors of The New York Times has decided that actual violence by unions in Wisconsin is “not surprising” (emphasis mine):

“Like many...

There isn’t much I can add to the numerous comments regarding the “brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating” of CBS News correspondent Lara Logan by a large group of men in Tahrir square in the moments after it was announced Hosni Mubarek had resigned.

Some of the comments around the net have...

They just can’t let go of the issues of where Obama was born or his religion.

Not Obama’s opponents, but his political and media supporters, who insist on a political purity test from Republicans, and who use the “refused to repudiate” line of attack on all who do not comply.

David Gregory asked John...

PolitiFact, started at the St. Petersburg Times and then franchised out to other newspapers including The Providence Journal, has been the subject of critique here before, Media Bias In Action: Providence Journal Politicizes PolitiFact:

In these latest examples the circumstances are virtually identical — both candidates voted against a law they generally supported...

The AP (via CBS News) has a headline sure to warm the hearts of the Obama communications team:  High Taxes? Actually, They’re at a 60-Year Low:

Actually, as a share of the nation’s economy, Uncle Sam’s take this year will be the lowest since 1950, when the Korean War was just getting...

I doubt you could find any issue on which 92% of people in this country agree.  And certainly not when the issue is political.

Yet CBS News ran an “online poll,” which is getting plenty...

I heard Supreme Court Justice Antonin “Nino” Scalia talk many years ago at a function in Rhode Island held by the Justinian Law Society.  If I recall correctly, the topic was the “living Constitution.”

Scalia was both brilliant and entertaining.  He is a wonderful speaker, and I would jump at the chance...

As you know, I’ve expressed my doubts about Politico.  But the reality is that Politico is one of the major internet news sources and will be for the foreseeable future.

While my prior criticisms applied to Politico’s news oper...

If you have noticed, I am very intolerant of cheap shots and snide comments directed at Sarah Palin, particularly when those cheap shots and snide comments come from conservative bloggers and Republican politicians.

Perhaps I react this way because when Palin Derangement Syndrome first struck this blog was not yet established, and...

I was going to write a post about Dana Milbank’s attention-seeking column in The Washington Post about how he supposedly is going to stop writing about or even talking about Sarah Palin for the month of February. 

The Milbank column really is a window into the mind of mainstream media journalists and pundits.  To...

A reading of We Just Witnessed The Media’s Test Run To Re-Elect Barack Obama, by Rush Limbaugh today.

Obamacare was “historic.”  Do a Google News search, and there are hundreds if not thousands of references to the “historic” nature of the legislation.

But do a similar search for the House vote repealing this historic legislation, and the term “historic” is used only to describe the legislation, not the vote.

So tell me, how...
