The Rise of a New Electoral Meme: George Bush Wasn’t So Bad.
I’m a big believer in coincidence but sometimes two news items come together so perfectly that I can’t help but wonder if the media fix still isn’t in. Last Friday, the former drama reporter and always drama queen Frank Rich had a column in which he sought to give the Democrats some electoral advice. His [...]
Amanpour Begins Her Time as Hard-Hitting Host By Giving Pelosi a Hard-Hitting Tongue-Bath
The Christiane Amanpour era began at ABC this weekend as the long-time CNN international talking head took over the network’s This Week Sunday pundit show from Jake Tapper. 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 [...]
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 [...]
The JournoList Diaries, Day 3: JournoListers Discover Hentai, Fail at Geek.
Lest you think that the life of a JournoLister consisted solely of trying to fix the election for Barack Obama, attacking Sarah Palin to help Barack Obama, rooting for Rush Limbaugh to die, and cheering the election of Barack Obama with slightly less dignity than a bunch of 14 year old girls backstage as a [...]
Journolistes Agonistes, or The Reporters Who Didn’t Bark in the Night
I’m pleased to see that The Daily Caller is finally living up to its hype. Today, it published a devastating story that shows how the 400-member JournoList conspired to spike the story that Barack Obama’s spiritual mentor is an America-hating bigot. For those of you who have not heard of the JournoList, let me explain. [...]
Do Conservatives Hate Journalism? No, But We Do Hate Journalists, and Rightly So.
You can probably count the times I’ve disagreed with Stacy McCain on the fingers of one hand and still have a couple fingers left to fork the Evil Eye at me. He and I are sympatico in most everything important (excepting, perhaps, on the matter of college football) but not on this post. Stacy posits [...]
Democratic Hack to Haley: Can You Assure Your State You Aren’t A Lying Whore?
I have a very hard time believing that George Snuffleupagus, former Clinton administration and current ABC News political hack, would have asked a Democratic woman running for office a pair of questions as openly insulting as these. STEPHANOPOULOS: You did face a very, very tough campaign. I know South Carolina has a reputation for that. [...]
One Bigot Down, Plenty More to Go.
Helen Thomas announced her retirement today and I say good riddance to her. If we all can agree on nothing else, we can agree that we private citizens should ostracize, marginalize, and disempower bigots as much as we are able, not just this time but every time. Neither should we let them or their former [...]
