WaPo Blogger Flunks Cash for Clunkers

Jimmie | November 7, 2011 | Comments (0)

I can not imagine how much pain the Washington Post must be in today. Brad Plumer, one of Ezra Klein’s co-blogging team, wrote a detailed and pretty fair blog post this morning about the failure of the Cash for Clunkers program.

Ben Pershing and the Washington Post Need to Retract Their Lie

Jimmie | March 3, 2010 | Comments (0)

The amount of journalistic dishonesty on display in the Jim Bunning Kicks Puppies and Unemployed People story is galling. Over and over again, MSM outlets have reported that the Senator opposed extending unemployment benefits, wanted to put government employees out on the street, or wanted to deny medical payments to hard-working physicians. None of those [...]

The WaPo is So in the Tank on Health Care, It’s on A First-Name Basis With that Little Diver Guy

This headline, on a WaPo story about Jim DeMint, has me irked. S.C. Senator Is a Voice Of Reform Opposition The reason it irks me is because it is not true. Jim DeMint does not oppose reform, nor does he speak for anyone who does. In fact, DeMint has proposed a number of reforms but, [...]

Again, the MSM Beclowns Itself

William Jacobson takes the Washington Post to task today for a nasty article which takes the position that treating detainees harshly is not only really, really bad but also never accomplishes anything useful. If all the Post has done was stick an op-ed masquerading as a real news article on the front page, it would [...]

If you want the perfect storm of partisan media bias and laughable reality-twisting, look no further than this front-page article from the Washington Post. Heck, don’t even bother reading the article, just read the headline and subheadline. Democrats Set High Goal Of Sweeping Fiscal Reform As Senate Opens Stimulus Debate, Sacrifices Become More Urgent “Sweeping [...]

The Non-Skeptical Journalist

Here’s another one of those Handy Obama Facts I’m sure you’ll be seeing again, courtesy of the Washington Post. No president has begun his term with so broad a wave of public confidence — 78 percent approval in the most recent Gallup poll. I have no idea how the reporter is defining “broad wave”, but [...]

Also, The Sun Rises in the East and Orbits the Earth.

The deuce you say! To some staunch conservatives watching President Bush relinquish the reins of power to President-elect Barack Obama, a few too many ardent liberals are now crashing the gates. … Conservatives fear that some of these Obama transition advisers are too far left on the political spectrum and are a sign of radical [...]

Another Day, Another MSM Story Running Down the Economy

Jimmie | December 25, 2008 | Comments (1)

You would think, after months of running around and screaming about how our economy is crashing worse than Buster during an episode of Mythbusters, that the MSM would get tired. I know that I am. Yet even on Christmas Day, a day of hope and joy, the MSM is doing its best to club our [...]
