Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The story is amazing and the source — the normally anti-American Spiegel (a German magazine) — is equally amazing. According to this story, things in Baghdad are going really well, and the citizens have a renewed sense of well-being and purpose: There is an unexpected air of normalcy prevailing in
Continue readingHonest Reporting captured the first spin that the BBC put on the terrible story of the latest massacre in Israel (a Palestinian versus Israelis, of course) — and, as always, it was Israel who was spun as the brutal aggressor. Orwell clearly understood something in the British psyche when he
Continue readingIf you haven’t already heard it, please listen to Dennis Prager’s June 26th interview with Dick Morris about Morris’ new book Fleeced: How Barack Obama, Media Mockery of Terrorist Threats, Liberals Who Want to Kill Talk Radio, the Do-Nothing Congress, Companies … Are Scamming Us … and What to Do
Continue readingThere has been speculation lately from those with little us to occupy their brains about whether the snazzy red loafers that adorn the Pope’s feet are Prada. It turns out that they not. Never say that the modern media isn’t heavy on the investigative reporting, right? This inordinately silly story
Continue readingThis sounds dreadful — until you read this, and discover that it’s not dreadful, it’s profoundly dishonest. And it’s the dishonesty that’s the true horror. Have past elections been characterized by such terrible dishonesty? I wonder if these lies, damn lies and statistics were always out there tainting the flow
Continue readingDid you know that a rocket could break a truce? I didn’t. Being neither a scientist nor a weapons expert, nor a member of the MSM, I kind of thought that, absent human intervention, rockets would just lie around inert. It’s just always seemed to me that, for a rocket
Continue readingOne of the things I’ve always admired about Harry Truman is the fact that he was able to separate principles from personal preferences. He was a racist who integrated the American military and an antisemite who was among the first to recognize the State of Israel. I keep thinking of
Continue readingI highly (really highly) recommend that you read Paul Kengor’s piece in today’s American Thinker, Return of the Dupes and the Anti-Anti-Communists. In it, he describes a struggle I remember well from the 1970s (when I became politically aware during the end of the Vietnam era) through the 1990s (during
Continue readingThere is an absolutely staggering editorial in today’s Washington Post — it admits that, John Rockefeller’s “official” indictment to the contrary, Bush did not lie. If anything, Rockefeller, in his official Senate Intelligence Committee report is lying by reaching conclusions at odds with his own evidence: Search the Internet for
Continue readingOne would think that, now that the candidates for both parties are known, both of their vice-presidential choices would be the issue. How naive I am. In media-land, there’s really only one party running for the White House — the Democrats and some sort of vaguely known, but not really
Continue readingRemember a year and a half ago when the MSM, directly and indirectly, assured us that Hillary’s candidacy was inevitable?
Continue readingThe CDC did a study about teen sexuality. Here’s how The Telegraph, a leading British news paper spun it: American teenagers are having less sex, doing fewer drugs and drinking less alcohol than those who grew up in the 1990s, according to a new study. Amid growing concern about teenage

Continue readingTalk about subliminal advertising: It’s not only the photo of Obama’s uplifted face, surrounded by a halo, it’s the juxtaposition with the text: U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama waits to speak in Aberdeen, South Dakota May 31, 2008. Obama said on Saturday he quit his Chicago church in the
