In response to Hey, Media: Chicago Teen's Shooting Called Gang-War Mistake:

How dare you Jerome....You know us black people aren't supposed to talk about black on black crime, especially when it's in President Obama's backyard.  (I'm sure someone somewhere is trying to revoke your Black Card, AGAIN)

In response to Media flipping out over Ted Cruz questioning of Hagel:

I think it's a great idea to have "some kind of victim" as Secretary of Defense.  You wouldn't want some sort of super-patriotic America-is-awesome tough guy in a job like that.  We need someone who understands how the hearts of the Iranian mullahs break a little, every time their legitimate elected government has to mutilate a dissident or jail a Christian.  Chuck Hagel knows they're crying inside, just like he cries every time a mean old conservative throws his own words in his face.

This is at least as believable as much of what MSNBC splices together and tries to pass off as hard news.  Someone thought it would be a good idea to PhotoShop a few historically inaccurate people into pictures with Eisenhower, to raise money for a memorial his family doesn't like.

The National Civic Art Center complained that "the images are manipulative, misleading, and undignified... this is as tawdry as the 1996 television commercial that used a dancing Fred Astaire to sell vacuum cleaners."  I wonder if they were looking at the photo of Eisenhower doing an interview with George Stephanopoulos when they said that.

In the aftermath of Martin Bashir's hoax, NBC promised to review the controversy and determine if one of its key employees had, yet again, deliberately falsified audio or video to make for a splashy, sensationalistic story for its partisan liberal audience.

Well, they did.   Surprise-- NBC gave themselves a Gold Star of Accuracy.  They claimed the only question was one of semantics, whether one could call the answer "The Second Amendment" an incidence of heckling. 

They claim that different people could decide this matter differently -- even though at this point the only two people I know of who claim the situation can be termed "heckling" are 1, NBC host Martin Bashir, who perpetrated the hoax, and 2, NBC host Lawrence O'Donnell, a decrepit old man who fancies himself a Boston Brawler and so who naturally comes to the rescue of softer, squishier members of his cable gang.

In response to Chicago gangsters obviously don't listen to their elders: I know, John. And what's even worse is that the so-called "Killing Season" that used to be the dangerous summer months where most of Chicago's homicides occurred, is now the norm. And the media doesn't give a flying flip. And so far into his first term, Rahm has avoided political backlash for his abject failure to clean up the streets. 

In response to Hey, Media: Chicago Teen's Shooting Called Gang-War Mistake:

This is incredibly disappointing, Jerome, because I distinctly remember Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel pleading with gang-bangers to aim more carefully.  He even appealed to their "values."  Kids these days just don't listen.

Apparently, gun downed honor student Hadiya Pendleton was in the "wrong place at the wrong time." 

Newser:

The Chicago teen who was killed days after performing in President Obama's inauguration may have simply been in the "wrong place at the wrong time." Chicago's superintend says, calling the shooting a matter of "mistaken identity." The shooting, police believe, was part of a turf war among gangs, but Hadiya Pendleton had no gang links--nor, it appears, did any of those with her that day. The gunman, however, seemed to confuse the group with gang members.

I take no particular pleasure in the news that CNN has canceled Soledad O'Brien's show. It was always an example of egregious left-wing media bias, which is precisely why it was, in a way, so useful to conservatives.

I had only one enduring grievance. After our exchange over Critical Race Theory, Soledad publicly invited me back on the show and then never honored that invitation. She did, however, invite someone to refute my arguments without offering me the chance to defend them. That's not just bias--it's downright rude.

In response to Occupy Wall Street Was Overwhelmingly White & Privileged and Somehow CNN Didn't Notice:

There's always been an element of snotty upper-class self-loathing at the forefront of leftist movements.  I suspect one reason for that is the ability of the Left's "community organizers" to engage such people.  They know where to find rebellious white college kids looking to establish their identity by declaring war against The Man and his evil System.  They know how to engage the reflexive sympathies of such people, flatter their vanities, and speak to them in the idiom of Hollywood liberalism.  The extras drawn into leftist street theater are people who don't have jobs, but the star players tend to be people who don't want jobs.

First, any politician regardless of party should be exposed for bad and possibly illegal actions. 

Senator Bob "Macho" Menendez is an alleged thief. Allegedly: he owed the two Dominican prostitutes $500 each and paid them only $100 each. Maybe he was unsatisfied [pun intended] and if so should have complained to their boss aka pimp about the quality of their service.
