Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Last week, I urged you to read Michael Yon’s article about the shabby, sleazy, vicious reporting Rolling Stone did on the 5/2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team. Rolling Stone basically characterized the entire outfit as a band of uncontrolled, blood-thirsty renegades. Yon is still out for blood, and would like to
Continue readingYears ago, in another life, I dated a man who had worked for Rolling Stone and personally knew Jann Wenner. (My ex-boyfriend claimed that a well-known Rolling Stone photographer was the one who introduced him to and got him hooked on cocaine. I have no idea if he was telling

Continue readingActually, it’s not a new face at all — it goes back to Mohammed himself, and his paranoid, resentful rants when the Jews refused to accept him as a prophet. What makes it new is that, thanks to the modern age and the Leftist media, these messages, which used to
Continue readingThe other day, Mr. Bookworm asked me to tell him “what the right wing wackos were talking about.” Among other things, I mentioned that people were interested in the fact that Hillary had recently announced that she would not return as Secretary of State for Obama’s second term, leading to
Continue readingThe earthquake/tsunami/potential nuclear meltdown in Japan is one of the great disasters to hit the Western world. It’s worth remembering, however, that the media is a visual engine that lives to convey disaster. This post is an excellent antidote to that media tendency, as it carefully explains why the world
Continue readingIf there is one defining characteristic of liberals, it is their sense that they are better than everyone else. Nowhere was that more explicitly illustrated than in Ron Schiller’s comments: In my personal opinion, liberals today might be more educated, fair and balanced than conservatives. Schiller wasn’t unique, just unguarded.
Continue readingYou have to read this Patterico post to believe it. NPR’s ombudsman Alicia Shepard issues a flat-out erroneous statement. Patterico confronts her on it. She challenges him. Fine. Except…. She bases her fight entirely on the transcript, but never watches the video, which definitely proves that her tweet, which was
Continue readingAt about 4:30 PST, two headlines just came down the pike, following the Wisconsin Senate votes: Wisconsin anti-union measure must pass Assembly before it can go to Gov. Walker for signature More on Wisconsin anti-union vote: No Democratic senators were present – AP I’d like to rephrase them: Wisconsin pro-taxpayer
Continue reading[Between kids and phone calls, it took me way too long to write this post, although that proved useful at the end, as it was the AP’s republished news report that contained the real gem. Rather than re-write this post, I’m simply highlighting the explosive little factoid hidden in the
Continue readingThe New York Times hasn’t yet gotten around to reporting officially on Ron Schiller’s disgusting performance before a supposed front group for the Muslim Brotherhood. Those of us who have watched the short video, and made inroads into the long video, saw him trashing in the most extreme terms Tea
Continue readingApparently a video of her employees gleefully cuddling up to the Muslim Brotherhood, all the while trashing conservatives, Tea Partiers, and Jews, was the infamous straw that broke the NPR camel’s back: Vivian Schiller just got fired. (Although NPR is already phrasing it as a resignation — a forced resignation,
Continue readingToday is the day for videos showing Progressives humiliating themselves in front of the American people. Ron Schiller didn’t know he was on television, but Cenk Uygur, an MSNBC talking head, did — although he didn’t let that national audience stop him from making a bigoted fool of himself. The
Continue readingI’m actually grateful to NPR. It was its unbelievably biased Israel coverage that helped me make the break with my reflexive liberalism and take a long, hard look at my political beliefs and party affiliation. Nevertheless, it irks me no end that my taxpayer money funds NPR, PBS and local
Continue readingPaul Krugman has a bully pulpit in the New York Times. Its numbers may be declining under Pinch’s overlordship, but it still remains “the paper of record” to a lot of people with their hands in or near the power trough. Paul Krugman’s readers respect him because (a) he holds
