Andrew trusted me to tell the truth about the media when he first started this web site, Big Journalism. I owe him much more than this small tribute. When Andrew first started this site and asked me to be a contributor I

Use all the sports superlatives you’d like on this one. Unbelievable! Unconscionable! Unthinkable! Take your pick, this will go into the Hall of Fame for historic racial slurs. The New York Knicks put together an amazing winning streak with Taiwanese

Nearly 50 years after his death, the Activist Old Media is still spinning circles to protect the legacy of John F. Kennedy. Whatever we learn, JFK will be forgiven. He was a Democrat and a Kennedy. Once Camelot, forever Camelot.

The media is calling the Barack Obama attack on the Catholic Church a “culture war.” Culture War. The words and graphics are everywhere. It was the ABC News headline one morning, “Candidate’s Culture War” is what the graphic said. As if

Brian Williams called it the “fierce debate over medical testing.” Rock Center did an intense investigative story (2 segments!) on whether chimpanzees should be used for medical testing. Nobody wants to see any animal abused, but like all leftists, NBC

ABC is back at it with their hidden cameras series, “What Would You Do?” They put actors in provocative situations and use hidden cameras to see how people react. Alan Funt, this aint. “Candid Camera“ was a fun show where

This may be an all-time record for a “hit piece.” If there is a Hall of Shame for journalism, the Reuters piece done on Marco Rubio will be at the front entrance emblazoned in flashing lights next to the Dan

It’s hard for the Activist Old Media to out-do itself with their leftist bias, but the Romney tax returns have them freaked out. This fits right in their wheelhouse of deception and class envy. The latest is an ABC story

Okay, perhaps I’m bitter about the All East Coast Super Bowl right now, but as a West Coast guy, I’m also not happy about these tape-delayed debates. NBC did it again. ABC did it earlier. To us folks out on

Let’s call it what it is now, folks. The biggest SuperPAC out there right now is the one working overtime to destroy any Republican wh0 might be so bold as want to take on the media’s Dear Leader in the

It’s always fun when media and their analysts tie themselves into knots when confronted with something that destroys their template. Republican front runner Mitt Romney gives 50 or 60 bucks to one of his volunteer campaign staffers and leftists spin

To NBC, I am “controversial” because I am a Mormon. Politics and religion, it’s all fair game right now for the Activist Old Media. Mitt Romney is not even the Republican nominee, and the battles are well underway. Of course,

I think we should have Republican debates every day. Every day. We should demand the candidates meet in one place every 24 hours and just pound each other early and often. If they can’t make it, they attack each other

The Shell Game is in full swing. Watch closely; the hands move quickly and it takes a sharp mind, quick eyes and cat-like instincts to keep up with all the movement going on right in front of us. Much has

Nice headline, huh? Actually, Wolf Blitzer is calling for Presidential Transparency on the leading Republican candidate, not the actual President. Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday hammered Mitt Romney on why he won’t release his financial records. Seriously, Wolf? I’ll get to

Brian Williams of NBC is trying to qualify for quote of the year, in this the 11th hour. Coming out of a commercial break on Rock Center Monday night, Williams said this: “As we try to do on occasion, we

A story on horrific poverty oddly gives me hope for local TV news. As a local TV news/sports anchor for almost 30 years, one of my biggest problems with the business was when young producers or reporters would cut-and-paste a

Isn’t this special? A TV reporter from KPTV in Portland covering the Occupy Freak Street movement declared to those at the rally, “I am one of you!” The love affair between the media and the Occupy Bizarre Street protesters has

Brian Williams was as cool as they come as sirens went off in the NBC Studios at Rock30CenterFellerLand–or whatever it’s called these days. Alarms go off and he stays cool and calm and keeps reading that ‘prompter. I admire a

From the start of the Occupy Freak Street movement the media compared the protests to the tea party. Based on jealousy over the movement that captured the nation prior to the November 2010 elections and since, the media wanted desperately

Hey, I’m stealing the line that Leslie Stahl used in her interview with lobbyist Jack Abramoff on “60 Minutes.” I’m mad at you, Leslie. To Abramoff, she said, “I’m mad at you” when he confessed to her on camera that

Protection from the activist old media when scandal hits is a great deal when you can get it. Political figures know that a Republican who sneezes sideways gets blasted non-stop, and a Democrat can stand on top of the local

The media is having a field day right now questioning the late Steve Jobs and his “Reality Distortion Field.” Skipping the fact that the deceased makes for an easy target, I find it hilarious that the media is all that
