The administration’s public feud with Fox News has the interest of some other news organizations. Jake Tapper, the ABC News Senior White House correspondent, ends an exchange with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs with a pointed question: I’m not talking about their opinion programming or issues you have with certain reports. I’m talking about [...]

The headline reads: FOX-TV CHICAGO ORDERED NOT TO RUN ANTI-OLYMPICS STORY Here’s the reality…. The story already ran. The debate was whether or not to rerun it. From Drudge’s own story… The Chicago Olympic Committee told FOX Chicago that its broadcast “would harm Chicago’s chances” to be awarded the games. The station’s news director ordered [...]

There’s a difference between sensationalism and lying…and the above is a lie. The US has known that Iran had a second “secret” nuclear plant since at least 2002-2003. Here’s more from The Policy Page: The truth is that Iran only decided to reveal the existence of the uranium enrichment operation to the International Atomic Energy [...]

One of the most intellectually dishonest political commentators is at it again. What’s weird is his reason for not answering the question. Basically, he says there’s no way he can define “white culture” without getting himself in trouble. And that begs the question…why make a statement that claims Obama has a deep seated hatred for [...]

Remember when I was talking about impotent rage on the left and the right in a post about Glenn Beck a couple days ago? Well, now we’ve got an analog to that and it comes in the form of this shameful screed by one of MSNBC’s newest commentators… The Republicans lie! They want to see [...]

“The role Glenn Beck is playing is harmful in its totality. My hunch is that he is a comet blazing across the media sky right now—and will soon flame out. Whether he does or not, he isn’t the face or disposition that should represent modern-day conservatism. At a time when we should aim for intellectual [...]

Yes, he’s a man of many words…but he needed a few more this time… And yet this will become the highest rated show on cable television. Guaranteed. *sigh* Updated: Some folks in the comment section have told me that he was just playing a joke, misspelled it on purpose, etc. Yeah, that’s why in the [...]

Just got word from the net that they bumped it up given Teddy’s death last night. If you want to see a preview, click here.

Shocking, I know. Ed’s post is here — and it is indeed some very good writing. Allahpundit responds: For the rare distinction of having earned Olbermann’s blessing, let me be the first to say to Ed: You are the RINO king. Enjoy the throne of shame; if you need me, I’ll be at the bar [...]

For the first time in a decade! Still think David Gregory was the right choice NBC? From Huff Post: It’s an ominous sign for David Gregory, who was called upon to take over NBC’s long dominant Sunday morning show following Tim Russert’s death from a heart attack last year. While it’s only one Sunday in [...]

Perhaps CNN will take note and boot him? After all, it seems the cable newsers will allow nearly anybody on air if it’ll boost ratings. But once ratings drop, well, sayonara.From New York Observer: Mr. Dobbs’ first began reporting on Obama birth certificate conspiracy theories on the night of Wednesday, July 15. In the roughly [...]

Yes, I know the reason. But still… MSNBC laments… What’s most amazing about this episode is that what Beck said isn’t a fireable or even a SUSPENDABLE offense by his bosses. There was a time when outrageous rants like this would actually cost the ranters their jobs. But not anymore; if anything, it’s now encouraged. [...]

Some salient discussion of Glenn Beck’s mystifying comments with the Morning Joe crew, sans Morning Joe himself. I think that they are all correct in their assessments. I do want to highlight one thing that Willie Geist touched upon. Around the five minute mark, Geist posits the idea that, had some commentator on the left [...]

The A.P. continues to come up with one dumb idea after another. I have more on this craziness over at True/Slant.

As you can see below, the title of this post was an actual caption on Fox News. So their argument is basically, “Because Universal Health Care brings about more diversity, it’s more likely to attract terrorists because Muslims will fit in and not be noticed. Best to have private practices where white, Christian doctors make [...]

Apparently, The Washington Post is completely abandoning the idea of hosting exclusive salons with power brokers – an idea which erupted into scandal last week when a marketing flyer indicated lobbyists could pay for access to Post reporters. Now, the paper has apologized blaming the flyer on a marketing snafu but taking responsibility for the [...]

The Washington Post has found itself embroiled in an ethics scandal involving a poorly conceived money-raising venture that the paper has moved fast to cancel and excuse: Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth said today she was canceling plans for an exclusive “salon” at her home where for as much as $250,000, the Post offered lobbyists [...]

Listen, I thought they should have done a revote in Minnesota, and I said as much on this blog. But nearly every single court decision went Al Franken’s way, and that’s just how it went down. Norm Coleman lost. And when I watch the following inanity, I genuinely wonder if the folks at Fox News [...]

A bombshell story broke today about the Obama administration drafting an executive order that could be used to hold terrorism suspects indefinitely. First, here’s the story… Obama administration officials, fearing a battle with Congress that could stall plans to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, are crafting language for an executive order that would [...]

Glenn Reynolds criticizes the media — and I completely agree with him: A TV LOW POINT: Turned on the TV to see Geraldo interviewing Tommy Mottola about Michael Jackson’s death. In the background, footage of the body being delivered to the coroner’s office by helicopter. Glad to see Fox is keeping us up on what’s [...]
