The Bias and Bigotry of Bill Keller
On Thursday, outgoing executive editor of the New York Times Bill Keller wrote one of the most proudly ignorant columns I have ever had the misfortune to read on the subject of religion and politics. In it, he strongly intimated that Presidential candidates — Republican Presidential candidates, actually, since he obviously didn’t feel that “God [...]
While Keller Surveys his Kingdom, Stacy Flings Well-Aimed Fruit
I enjoy Stacy McCain’s posts most when his considerable experience as a journalist and his snark align as they did in this post about New York Times’ editor Bill Keller: Failure heaped upon embarrassing failure cannot be endlessly repeated and sold to the proprietors as success.

Ryan Sager, who for all I know is a fine upstanding person, never makes it clear in his editorial that the distinctive characteristic of Astroturfing is dishonesty. Without that central [...]
Tales of Media Bias, Part Whatever
Back in November, Ed Driscoll wrote, “When the MSM moans about the gallons of red ink it’s spilled since 2001, it needs to ask itself if it’s prepared to actually report the news, in a fashion that interests readers, or if it exists as a non-profit ideological support system.” I’m going to go with “non-profit [...]
