Andrew Breitbart: Warrior, Fighter, Friend

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

ESPN's Historic Racial Slur

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

The Media-Created Camelot

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.

NBC and its "Fierce Debate" over Life

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

The Media Freak Show Over Romney's Money

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

Republicans: DebatesRUs

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

CNN and Wolf Blitzer Call for Presidential Transparency

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

KNBC Challenges AP Poverty Numbers

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

The Media's #RDF, Or 'Reality Distortion Field'

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
