I knew we lost "illegal immigrant" and "illegal immigration" to the language police. The preferred and completely politically correct substitute term was supposed to be "undocumented immigrant." Even Colorlines, the group pushing the claim that "illegal immigrant" is racist, used the term "undocumented immigrant" in a recent...
In times of important breaking news (see, Newtown and Boston Bombing), I find myself devoting substantial and increasing amounts of time towards filtering mainstream news media reports trying to figure out what is sufficiently reliable as to be worthy of passing on to my blog readership. I...
As Lee Stranahan notes, it took the NY Times to vindicate Andrew Breitbart against the attacks led by Media Matters: Many have noted the irony of Andrew Breitbart's tireless work to expose the fraud and corruption in Pigford being vindicated by the liberal New York Times--but...

The attack on AP's Twitter account and the AP Mobile Twitter account was preceded by phishing attempts on AP's corporate network. […] The false tweet went out shortly after 1 p.m. and briefly sent the Dow Jones industrial average sharply lower. The Dow fell 143 points, from 14,697 to 14,554, after the fake Twitter posting, and then quickly recovered.And in March, several of BBC’s Twitter accounts were also hacked by the same group. They tweeted out snarky messages such as, “Saudi weather station down due to head-on collision with camel.” But these attacks from the Syrian Electronic Army aren’t limited to recent weeks.
