Media Dismisses Fact that Show of Force Stopped CT School Shooter

NBC's Pete Williams reports that the Connecticut elementary school shooter ended his rampage and killed himself upon the arrival of the police: "Only when he saw and heard the police running down the hall toward him did this end, when the police say he used one of the handguns to shoot himself; ending this killing spree." 17 Dec 2012

Media Sets Gun Control Narrative, Shuts Down Mental Health Debate

If the media's going to maximize their effectiveness in pursuing this goal, it simply must make sure that no other attractive ideas or policies are discussed or debated, other than gun control. The media must shut down debate and shape The Narrative in a way that makes it appear to the public as though there's only one consensus and solution to this problem -- their solution. 15 Dec 2012

Dem Lawmaker: Obama Must 'Exploit' School Shooting To Get Gun Control

Dem. Rep. Jerrold Nadler is at least being honest about how he, and no doubt many Leftists, would like to feast off an unthinkable tragedy. Nadler has openly called for President Obama to "exploit" the murder of 20 children, “I think we will be there if the president exploits it, and otherwise we’ll go on to the next.” 15 Dec 2012

David Frum Cracks CT School Shooting Joke

When I see David Frum, what I see is pure, 100% undiluted ambition. A guy who will do anything to bring attention to himself, which is why I don’t believe for a second his appalling tweet was merely the act of a man "ventilating his anger." 15 Dec 2012

JournOlist Cage Match: Ben Smith, Politico Fight for Post-Rice Spin

Either way, what we're seeing is a media in disarray and completely caught off guard. Smith is angry because the Left didn't win this one(New Media did),and Politico's desperate to help Obama hold on to his chivalrous credentials even as Rice meets the underside of a bus. 14 Dec 2012

'WaPo' Makes It Official: Chuck Todd Made a Fool of Himself

In Todd's fevered mind, Rice was in no way a victim of her obvious willingness to spread what everyone knew was misinformation or her inability to use her diplomatic skills to win over even the squishiest of Republican Senators. No, Rice was a victim of that awful New Media. How absurd is Todd's claim? So absurd that even the Washington Post called him out. 14 Dec 2012

The Unbearable Cowardice of Roland Martin, Soledad O'Brien, and Don Lemon

Unless I missed it, O'Brien has yet to use her morning show to call attention to what would almost certainly be called a hate crime had the suspected perpetrators been Tea Partiers. And while Martin has taken to Twitter to condemn what happened to Clint Tarver, he's certainly not concerned enough to condemn the fact that, for purely political reasons, the media is covering up a legitimate story involving violence and racism against a black American. I haven't heard a peep from Lemon, either. 14 Dec 2012

Susan Rice Falls On Sword To Save … The Media

Make no mistake about it, it's not just the Obama White House breathing a sigh of relief over Susan Rice's "decision" to take her name out of the running to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. The media's just as relieved, if not more. 14 Dec 2012

Complicity of Silence in Michigan: Media Condones Violence, Racism

Because the suspected thugs are pro-union protestors and not Tea Partiers, this act of racial violence is not considered a story. You see, the media doesn't really care about racism or thuggery or violence -- what it cares about is The Narrative -- and The Narrative demands that unions must always be the good guys. 13 Dec 2012

'Men in Black 3' Bluray Review: For Franchise Fans Only

The movie looks great, especially the trip back to Mad Men Land, and I am interested enough in how things wrapped up to take another look at the previous films to see if all the pieces fit. Regardless, the sequel no one wanted will probably beget a sequel no one wanted. 8 Dec 2012
