Flushed with JournoList Success, The Daily Caller Produces Something That Should Be Flushed.
Tucker Carlson’s $3 million vanity project, The Daily Caller isn’t going to be around much longer if it continues to print garbage like this as news. Jonathan Strong sallied forth today to smite the right-wing blogosphere a mighty blow, perhaps because his boss took a bit too much heat for his week-long JournoList transcriptions. Unfortunately, [...]
You Want “Offbeat Candidates”? I Got “Offbeat Candidates”!
Geez, the Politico isn’t even trying to hide its left-wing bias in this article: Will its offbeat candidates hurt GOP? A former professional wrestling executive, a libertarian ophthalmologist and a man who thinks bicycle use could empower the United Nations filed to run in elections. That’s not the start of a joke: that’s a sampling [...]
Well, At Least the MSM Vetted Somebody.
Thanks to GQ, we know that Rand Paul, Republican candidate for Senate from Kentucky, was a pretty ordinary college student.

Tapper had done a very good job running the show and has been popular inside the network. Save for his choice of panel guests (which always slanted [...]
I Won’t Win A Pony, So How About Some Juicy Links?
I’ve been collecting stories and blog posts over the last couple of days, with the goal of working them into wondrous and intensely interesting blog posts that would drive thousands upon thousands of hits to The Shack and garner mentions on all the finer right-wing radio talk shows. Then I realized that for all that, [...]
Right-Wing Blog Coordination? Yeah, Like I Have Time for That.
Apparently, the only thing the left has learned from the sad tale of the JournoList is…umm…well, absolutely nothing. After The Daily Caller broke story after story this week illustrating, with honest-to-goodness evidence and everything, that a small, intimate group of 400 progressive journalists and pundits treated journalism like a cat treats a litter box, you [...]
