The New York Times‘ coverage of the radical Islamist attacks on 9/11 on the U.S. embassy in Cairo and the U.S. consulate in Benghazi begins–like the Obama administration–with acknowledging “anger” over an anti-Islamic film, not with the attacks themselves–and criticizes

In 1980, Governor Ronald Reagan won the sole debate with incumbent President Jimmy Carter–and won the election a week later. The media won’t let that happen again. And so President Barack Obama will “win” next month’s debates–not because he is

The first rule of manliness is that it is unmanly to try to be manly. Manliness should be an afterthought, or not thought at all. That is where Barack Obama is failing. He is just trying too hard. Oh, I’ll

Yes, Obama is winning. So was Jimmy Carter. So was Michael Dukakis. So would any Democrat, incumbent or not, who enjoyed the fawning coverage the mainstream media heaped on President Barack Obama. During the Republicans’ convention, the media interrupted, fact-checked,

Though there are obvious differences, there are some clear similarities in the Reagan vs. Carter race of 1980 and the Romney vs. Obama race of today–principally, that Reagan was slow to build a lead over Carter, and that the public
