Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
While the MSM would clearly like the whole Journolist discussion to vanish (as evidence by the fact that I haven’t found mention or, at least, prominent mention of it in any traditional print media), the fact remains that it’s out there and it’s ugly. The bits and pieces we’ve seen
Continue readingThose on the Left and the RINO “right” (Frum, Parker, etc.) are defending JournoList vigorously by saying that there’s nothing wrong with them having opinions and talking amongst friends. That’s absolutely true. But that wasn’t what the JournoList people were doing. IBD sums it up beautifully (emphasis mine): In essence,

Continue readingYou already know the whole sordid story of the progressive journalist listserve — Journoloist — that actively strategized about ways to suppress the story of Obama’s sordid affiliation with black racist Jeremiah Wright. For those of us who pay attention to the one party MSM, there is nothing knew about

Continue readingCharles Johnson is an iconoclast. A liberal who found himself in conservative territory because of his fierce and principled stances against Islamism and corrupt media, he had a parting of ways with conservatives because of his equally fierce stances regarding groups in Europe that are pushing back against Islamism (groups
Continue readingThe following, from 2006, is a perfect video. First, it shows what a horrible person Helen Thomas has always been. Second, it highlights the Bush White House attitudes towards Israel as well as the late, great Tony Snow’s intelligence, wit and charm. That’s as good a contrast as you can
Continue readingCharles Johnson is masterful when it comes to exposing media fraud, whether it was Rathergate in 2004, or Reutersgate in 2006 (when Reuters messed with photos of the Israeli/Hezbollah War). Proving that he wasn’t just lucky back then, but in fact has a genuine knack, Charles has done it again,

Jews have been in the land, without cessation,

That’s the one, of course, that saw Comedy Central, the oh-so-hip-and-edgy (meaning often offensive) television station brutally censoring a South Park episode that implied that Mohamed was walking around wearing
