Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
It turns out that Charles Gibson has two different interview modes. If you’re male, black and a Democrat, it’s very loving. If you’re female, white and a Republican, it’s condescending, aggressive, and dishonest. I know that from all the articles I’ve read about each interview. Now, the Anchoress reprints a
Continue readingI don’t know how much difference this will make, but it’s a petition to show that the media is wrong — women will and do support Sarah Palin. Hat tip: Bloggers for John McCain
Continue readingExplorations has a comprehensive list of the rumors circulating around Sarah Palin, and explains which are true and which are false. It’s amazing how much dirt managed to flow down the media pipeline is a single week.
Continue readingI periodically check out Yahoo’s most popular news to see what AP articles are getting the most play according to the Yahoo picks (which, except for including Ann Coulter, skew liberal). It’s fascinating to see the AP headlines, each of which is snarky, dismissive or critical of Palin in some

Continue readingFrom the National Review editors: This shameful but predictable media performance [obsessing about Bristol’s sex life and manufacturing debased rumors] stands in marked contrast to the rigorous “hands-off” privacy policy dutifully honored by the press throughout the Clinton years for the president’s then-teenage daughter, Chelsea. Indeed earlier this year, though
Continue readingI told an elderly liberal friend (“ELF”) about my liberal friend, the one who thinks the media is being so unfair to Palin that she’s tempted to vote for McCain just to spite the media. The following conversation ensued. I should add here that the ELF considers herself very well
Continue readingA liberal friend of mine told me she’s so incensed by the attacks on Palin’s pregnant daughter that she feels like voting for McCain just to spite the media.
Continue readingOnce again, a writer for the MSM leads with a sentence that implies that there is no causative relationship between two obviously related facts. This from the San Francisco Chronicle: California home sales surged last month even while prices plunged a record amount, as buyers snapped up bargains among the
Continue readingSomething very peculiar is happening at the AP, so much so that I think someone might be sneaking something into the AP water supply. Why do I say this? Because of the almost bizarrely objective series of articles the AP published on the occasion of Obama’s announcement that Joe Biden
Continue readingIn 1980 (and again in 1984), Ronald Reagan won in significant part because traditionally Democratic voters abandoned their party to vote for him. Those same “Reagan Democrats” have shown up frequently in the news today. Indeed, McCain is specifically targeting those same people and demographics. US News & World Report
Continue readingThe AP does it again, serving as Obama’s water carrier. Here’s the set up: Jerome Corsi’s book, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, instantly shot to number one on the New York Times bestseller list. Panic ensued. First, the New York Times attacked it, pointing to
Continue readingPamela Geller, who blogs at Atlas Shrugs, has spent countless hours following both McCain’s and Obama’s money. In a carefully detailed article at American Thinker, she explains that McCain’s donations are squeaky clean, while the donations coming into the Obama campaign are, to put it tactfully, questionable. For example, Obama’s
Continue readingI find amusing, in a bitter kind of way, the first sentence in a New York Times article about Jerome Corsi’s book on Obama, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality (which is, by the way, one of Amazon’s top sellers and will debut this week as
Continue readingThe answer to the above question: When it’s impossible to distinguish the satire from the real thing. I received several emails today alerting me to a post at Power Line that purported to reprint a directive from a powerful person at a major media outlet, describing how to cover the
