Mark Tapscott, executive editor of The Washington Examiner, did an interesting spot-check yesterday. Using the search engines of a few high-profile news outlets, he documented the number of references each made to conservative political activists, “the Koch Brothers,” as compared
We’re currently living through “30 Rock II: Electric Boogaloo,” where the elite media manufactures a reality that says a ratings disaster they happen to like is some sort of cultural phenomenon. This is an old trick the left plays to
New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg’s fascist zeal to regulate soft drinks and salt intake has likely resulted in him taking his eye off the ball of what really matters: reading scores and the homeless. While Bloomberg has yet to
Last month 236,000 net jobs were created and the unemployment rate dropped from 7.9 to 7.7%. Though the media buries this fact, the likely reason for the drop in the unemployment rate is that 130,000 people abandoned the labor force.
I have no idea why I so stupidly and carelessly assumed the young California woman killed by a lion last week had been careless. But I did, and I was dead wrong. Twenty-four-year-old Dianna Hanson wasn’t playing Grizzly Man, she
If things work out as hoped, I’ll throw in a few “Rockford Files” episodes, as well. That show’s been on constant rotation at the Nolte home since 1993. But here’s the agenda as of now. I’ll certainly update with any
In reporting, context is everything — at least, it should be everything. But when it comes to protecting Obama and his failed economic policies, the media willfully lies by omission to manufacture a reality in which Obama’s policies have succeeded.
Nobody watches HBO’s “Girls.” Nobody. In a country of over 300 million, 866,000 viewers is statistically zero. And yet: Lena Dunham, creator of the HBO series ‘Girls,’ has quietly shaken up the writing staff for her breakout comedy-drama about a group of
Once again we find Glenn Kessler doing the honorable, bipartisan work of holding a White House responsible for what they say and do. And once again, the White House has been caught lying regarding a sequester scare tactic, this time
***UPDATE: From an email: “Nolte’s Reagan-Obama job rate analysis is skewed in O’s favor because, sinceClinton, workforce dropouts are no longer included.” Below, a commenter accurately notes, as well, that Reagan expanded the workforce and still lowered the unemployment rate. Obama, however,
Good people can disagree on the issue of drone use. That wasn’t the point of Kentucky Senator Rand Paul’s epic filibuster to me. Here are the top-five things I loved about it… 1. Paul was demanding a straight answer from
The plot is ridiculously and intentionally screwball, but the delivery is sublime. The impossibly beautiful Doris (Loretta Young) is a society gal married to Leonard (Warner Baxter), a humble contractor facing hard times and a wife suddenly demanding a shot
In a Quinnipiac University poll released today, President Obama has lost whatever edge the media still pretends he enjoys over Republicans on the overall issue of guns. Only 42% of voters trust Obama on the issue of guns, compared to
It’s going to be a long time before we forget just how hard the ObamaMedia laughed at the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre when he suggested that the answer to stopping mass-shootings is to place an armed guard in every school in
A Fox News poll of 1,010 registered voters taken Feb. 25-27 of this year, shows that only 45% approve of our government using drones to kill a suspected terrorist who is American on U.S. soil. Fifty-percent disapprove. Concern over the Obama
At a shareholder Q&A Wednesday, Disney/ABC CEO Bob Iger met a shareholder unhappy over ABC News’ bias, specifically an attack on the Tea Party that ended up being horribly wrong [emphasis added]: When it came time for a general Q&A,
***CORRECTION: Every assumption in this post is dead wrong. Dianna Hanson did nothing wrong. I’ve posted a full correction and apology here. In response to This is not “Life of Pi”: In 2005, German director Werner Herzog released “Grizzly Man,”
Look at this madness: article after article after article hitting Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes for agreeing with President Obama on the issue of his work ethic, or lack thereof. Last night, though, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer took the attacks a
The. Greatest. Thing. In. The. World. just happened on CNN. On her morning show, the outgoing Soledad O’Brien was all set to rip into Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes for describing President Obama as “lazy” in an upcoming biography. The
On top of this superb filibuster unfolding in the Senate right now, the NRSC actually did this… https://www.nrsc.org/donation/i-stand-with-rand/ Yes, that’s right, like we’re Democrats or something, the National Republican Senatorial Committee was able to post a filibuster fundraising plea the same
Senator Rand Paul has drawn a line in the sand with his filibuster. He will stop if and when Barack Obama or Eric Holder clarify the White House drone policy regarding regarding the targeting of American citizens on American soil. The
The reason Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid interrupted when he did was likely in the hopes of stealing some of Rand Paul’s thunder in tonight’s Nightly News broadcasts. That little bit of tension, he hopes, will be what the networks
