Sean Hannity aired segments on his Wednesday evening program. Anonymous juror E54 told WOFL's Valerie Boey that he agrees with the...

The city of Detroit filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection in federal court Thursday, laying the groundwork for a historic effort to bail out a city that is sinking under billions of dollars in debt and decades of mismanagement, population flight and loss of tax revenue. The bankruptcy filing makes Detroit the largest city in U.S. history to do so.No one could have seen this coming, except Dewey:
Hmmm ... this can't be coincidence:

In the wake of revelations about the scope of the NSA's surveillance activities, Guardian reporter Glenn Greenwald will soon be writing a book that is expected to reveal new information on the matter. Some of the book's focus will also be on the alleged cooperation...
Good thing John Kerry is in Israel pressuring Israel to accept as a precondition to negotiations a return to the 1949 armistice lines with minor modifications. That precondition is being held firmly by Mahmoud Abbas, who weekly receives encouragement, including the recent decision by the EU...
In 2005 the Florida legislator enacted statute 776.032. "Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force." This immunity statute is often erroneously referred to as Florida's Stand-Your-Ground (SYG) law, even by lawyers, judges, and law professors who ought to know better...

Sure, I disagree with Marco Rubio on the Gang of 8 immigration bill, particularly the amnesty part. But what's most galling is that Rubio appears to have been played by Chuck Schumer on the Democratic side, and McCain/Graham on the Republican side, suckered into being the...

I think she came across a lot better in this interview than she did in the trial. And better than the Piers Morgan interview, which resulted in some narrative-busting and generally bizarre sound bites. It's loathsome that Al Sharpton has a show on MSNBC, but he did bring out the...
The trailer for the upcoming "The Fifth Estate" film about Wikileaks and its controversial founder, Julian Assange, was released today and was the subject of quite a bit of buzz. On the heels of May's theatrical release of the documentary "We Steal Secrets: The Story of...
The impropriety displayed on Wednesday by a high school-age intern who dared to ask White House Press Secretary Jay Carney a question relating to the security provided to the family of George Zimmerman knows no bounds. That is apparently the opinion of a number of members of the political press. After an intern had the temerity to ask Carney a question, the political media flew into a tizzy over the presumptuousness of the intern and turned to mocking him and the venue which credentialed him to be in the Briefing Room in the first place.... the 16-year-old intern, Gabe Finger, asked Carney about the security provided Zimmerman’s family in the wake of the controversial not guilty verdict handed down last Saturday. Carney said that President Barack Obama and the Martin family have called for a non-violent reaction to the verdict. “So, they’re on their own?” Finger followed up. “You can editorialize all you want, and I’m sure that you will, but that is a ridiculous statement,” Carney shot back.That was a perfectly legitimate question, yet here is some of the insider reaction via Mediaite:
Update: The Daily Caller responds:
Some reporters in Washington are asking why The Daily Caller sent our intern Gabe Finger to the White House press briefing this afternoon. Talk about missing the point. The real question is, why did it take a 16-year-old intern to raise an obvious and important question that the White House press corps should have asked days ago? We don’t care how old Gabe Finger is. It doesn’t matter to us what his credentials are. All we care about is how well he does his job. Today he did it a lot better than most White House reporters.... including this video:

There are many lessons to be learned from the media miscoverage of the George Zimmerman shooting of Trayvon Martin. We've dealt repeatedly with the false "hoodie" and racial narratives, the ludicrous audio and video analyses, and the misunderstanding of the role Stand Your Ground played [actually,...
