The American Spectator does a nice job of deconstructing this ridiculous piece from a progressive blogger over at the Progressive Christian Alliance. The gist of the piece is this: Jesus was an illegal immigrant baby, thus if you are against
[youtube pn10FF-FQfs nolink] From all of us here at Big Journalism, a very merry Christmas to you and yours. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of
Victory over darkness. We at Big Journalism wish everyone a very happy Hanukkah.
This qualifies as a Credit Where It’s Due and a Soundbite For The Day. Kudos to CNN’s Jack Cafferty for his reporting. [youtube MIRTeTvjR7Y nolink] For more on our F&F Media Watch, check out Mary Chastain’s excellent reporting.
Here we go with dog whistle again. The Nation’s Lizzy Ratner surmises that it’s racist to acknowledge that a record number of Americans are on the government dole. The deep racism at the heart of conservative food stamp critiques offers
Why do I not bet on things like this? In a truly “shocking” turn of events, an associate librarian at Yale has once again, compiled a list of top quotations of the year and they are, predictably, predominately unfriendly to
Media Matters for America has had a bad year, with declining traffic and regular knocks from more notable media outlets. This week alone, MMfA was slammed by Politico and the Simon Wiesenthal Center for antisemitism, so they are eager to
Vanity Fair brings the news. Christopher Hitchens–the incomparable critic, masterful rhetorician, fiery wit, and fearless bon vivant–died today at the age of 62. Hitchens was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in the spring of 2010, just after the publication of his
Only Media Matters can bury the lede of their latest Christian-bashing missive five graphs down into a story. After starting one story on Tim Tebow, the article plunges headfirst off the cliff into insanity by switching gears and blaming poverty
Remember when AttackWatch launched? The President’s new site aimed at fighting that with which they disagree collects anything negative written of the President — what it terms “smears.” Now it’s completely silent and has been so for the past several
If I have to do one more piece on correcting Tommy Christopher’s silly bias, I’m going to start charging Mediaite for copy-editing. Christopher recently wrote a post attacking Rush Limbaugh and later Ann Coulter for criticizing Romney at CPAC and
Alec Baldwin cannot stop sticking his foot into his mouth. He does so again on the virtual pages of the Huffington Post, in explaining his rude behavior on the American Airlines flight from which he was ejected. He describes American
My colleague John Nolte blows the lid off the weak excuse used by Questlove to deflect the Fishbone/Michele Bachmann fallout. Questlove ratted himself out in the lastest issue of Rolling Stone: When the Fallon/Bachmann controversy first exploded, Questlove issued a
Whenever I think of the Huffington Post newsroom I think of the frat house from “PCU.” That’s the only possible explanation for the is-it-or-isn’t-it-true story posted to HuffPo yesterday detailing how Eric Boehlert firmly believes that the bearded Verizon guy
And it’s legal. Legal and the government doesn’t disclose the details. Mary Chastain has been all over Fast and Furious for the past several weeks. You’d think such a story as this would be headline news, considering we’re talking about
“To be honest, I don’t even really know who Ed Schultz is … I know he yells a lot.” Oh ouch. “Apparently, Mr. Schultz has a pretty thin skin for someone who goes around calling people sluts.” Still laughing. “But
Progressives, the vultures of tragedy, aren’t above exploiting it for a political purpose. (See the funeral of Paul Wellstone, Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, the Tucson shooting.) Cartoonist Pat Oliphant is no exception: his latest attention-seeking panel compares Republicans to child rapists.
Even in a far-left city such as San Francisco no one listens to progressive talk radio. Green 960 will be replaced by a conservative talker KNEW, and KNEW’s old spot on the dial 910 AM will be relaunched as KKSF
When did Vanity Fair become a poorly-written, fraternity version of itself, aka Wonkette? VF has delved into the serious journalistic endeavor of analyzing Newt Gingrich’s office knickknacks. I know it’s the publication’s attempt to be cutesy, but instead it comes
The SEIU and Soros-funded Media Matters for America is sounding the alarm: Fox News, they gush, has given a lot of airtime to Republican primary contenders. The Republican presidential primary race isn’t news? A serious question: is Fox supposed to
Big Journalism’s Mary Chastain has done a fine job of chronicling the media’s response to (and refusal to report on) Fast and Furious. Fed up with the media attention, Eric Holder today lashed out at the Daily Caller for daring
I spoke with Newt Gingrich on my show earlier today and asked him about his Climategate remarks, immigration (we agree to disagree on the means to the end), and informed him of the story where a Washington Post blogger is
The Big Journalism stable of contributors and I would like to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving. We’re grateful for faith, freedom, family, friends, and fellow patriots like yourselves who support this site and support us by standing up for
I can’t wait for the day when progressive males can evolve to a higher intellectual level and debate conservative women on facts, not on sex. [youtube BqeVjopXLWI nolink] Have we ever had a woman president? Who was the last to
Join me in watching tonight’s GOP primary debate on national security at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. I’ll be amongst those providing pre and post-debate analysis. The info: CNN lead political anchor Wolf Blitzer will moderate a Republican
