Why is the Activist Old Media so obsessed with Mitt Romney’s taxes? He has released what is federally required, he has been as transparent as most other presidential candidates, so why the obsession? The short answer is that as Barack
A year ago I wrote a column here on Big Journalism detailing violence by leftists and expressing my desire that my friends in the media would spot it, expose it, and perhaps hold firm to their promise to “protect” the
The “Tiffany Network” is trying to sell that cheap cubic zirconia garbage. What else would you call journalism in which the biggest questions of the day go unasked in order to help the reportorial subject? Nancy Cordes shows up to
It was a safe prediction that I made earlier this week that the Activist Old Media would work to destroy Mitt Romney’s choice for vice president. The attacks began even before the early morning announcement of Paul Ryan. Witness CNN
I make the mistake of watching ABC’s Good Morning America most mornings. It’s out of habit, having worked on air at an ABC affiliate for 25 years (plus, who wants to see Charlie Rose first thing in the morning?) These
Let’s first give credit where credit is due. Politico, the web site that is the brunt of a lot of criticism here, knows that there is something fishy with the collusion between the Obama camp and a pro-Obama SuperPAC and
We are used to shocking billboards in Las Vegas. Usually they are near The Strip and they show bodies in various stages of undress. These latest shocking billboards make a clear political statement. The War on Wall St. took to
ABC has now doubled down on its “happy talk” towards gang warfare. I don’t know what else to call this. This is about Serena Williams and the Crip Walk, Part II. After the weekend crew called the “Crip Walk” a
I almost….almost could not believe what I was seeing. ABC Good Morning America anchors celebrating the “Crip Walk.” Oh, I understand funny, silly, happy-talk news, but this was over the top. I’m guessing you don’t have to be a brilliant ABC
Let’s see if the media will do its job here. I have no delusions it will. Democrat Senator Harry Reid has made the insane allegations that Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney did not pay any taxes for 10 years. Reid
This is as automatic as the debt-ceiling growing under Barack Obama. The media will hate Romney’s choice for Vice President. It does not matter whom Mitt Romney chooses; this person will be hated, despised, and compared to Sarah Palin. There
I guess you have to say what NBC wants you to say about the Olympics, or you could get your Twitter account suspended. Don’t laugh. It has happened to Guy Adams. Adams is a journalist with The Independent. He works
Like any political campaign, you are told to attack your opponent’s strengths. Make no doubt about it, the Activist Old Media is Barack Obama’s most powerful SuperPAC, and they are out to attack Mitt Romney on his strength. Take the
The Activist Old Media is making it very clear who they want to win the White House in 2012. It’s the same guy they were rooting for in 2008. Lowering gas prices is one of the weapons they will use
I like to get to the heart of the matter, so I will use this column to ask one question of President Barack Obama. Who authorized Fast and Furious? Since no answer will be given, I will rhetorically ask a
If you want to see a liberal media member’s head explode, compare Fast and Furious to Watergate. If you want to see an entire newsroom freak out, say that Fast and Furious is worse than Watergate. The Activist Old Media has spent
Context is one of the most important things a journalist can provide. There’s the old joke of a sportscaster giving out scores on the nightly news; 5 to 2, 7 to 0, 3 to 1. Without team names the numbers
At first, I thought the story was a prank on the media, and someone was going to jump out of a box in the newsroom at the Washington Post and yell, “Gotcha!” Maybe John Quinones of ABC would pop out from
The Occupy Cleveland members who allegedly plotted to blow up a Cleveland bridge and kill dozens of innocent people should use NBC’s Brian Williams as their lead defense witness. First, the Peacock Network totally ignored the background of the accused men.
It’s been known for years that the US media has decided not to do its job when it comes to vetting Barack Obama, but when the British media is out there reporting critically on this White House on a daily
“Can Romney get on the cover of Rolling Stone?” This was asked by none other than the brilliant leftist Chris Matthews to his panel of fellow leftists on his syndicated Sunday show. The show began with Matthews calling Obama a
ABC went from promoting the “Dog Wars” to declaring the issue dead within 24 hours. Actually, their flip-flop on the issue took about 14 hours. Diane Sawyer, in her interview with Mitt and Anne Romney, quizzed the pair about the
It was one of his biggest campaign promises: Candidate Barack Obama told us early and often that he would unite Americans in the wake of Evil Bush doing everything he could to tear us apart. The media jumped on that
