Sorry, I missed the Obama visit to Las Vegas this week. It’s a busy week for me. I’ve gotta short-sell my house and doing all the paperwork and the move, along with my job has me sort of tied up.

News reporters have always loved the reference to those vicious animals that protect the junk yards late at night. Some of the most frightening, realistic scenes from movies depict the bad guy climbing over a chain link fence only to

At what point does a newscaster lose credibility? I’ll answer that myself. As long as you are a media leftist, you will always have credibility and have a seat at the table of activist, old media types. Dan Rather, he

The “What If” game is now one of the most popular on the internet. What if Archie Manning had married a Brazilian model? How many more World Cups would Brazil have? This silly game is being played because ESPN The

SEATTLE,WA (UIP)—In a shocking move considering the lockout of the NFL right now, the owner of the Seattle Seahawks agreed to a sudden change of mind and will sell his team to controversial talk show host Rush Limbaugh. Paul Allen

….everything will change. The world changed for the activist old media on Sunday night. The entire free world celebrated that Osama bin Laden had been killed by courageous Navy SEALs. The celebration was as it should be; a nation together

This has now become the norm for the media. When Muslim extremists are arrested in this country for a terror plot, the media want to give the impression that it’s the same as Johnny down the block acting out because

I can hear them right now in newsrooms across the country— “Are you sure we need to cover this story about a possible fraudulent solar power company?” “Won’t we look bad when we promote ‘Green Week?’” “Should we show that

This was the battle-cry of the 2008 elections: Obama was the Great Uniter who would bring America together and save it from the horrible division that Evil Bush caused. The activist old media (who constantly promise to protect us from

Sunday morning is a fun time to rest, relax and get ready for kickoff. I’ll sometimes watch CBS Sunday Morning to get my fill of artsy fartsy stuff, something funny from Bill Geist, and occasionally an interesting commentary from Ben

No surprise here, the National Association of Broadcasters is applauding the efforts of those who covered Hurricane Irene over the weekend. Forget the fact that the broadcasters did what they do best, which is to exaggerate, the NAB sees it

The media take great pride in being there to protect us, to ask the tough questions, to be the voice of the people. Just watch their promos about themselves. They are constantly pitching their civic minded vigilance while patting themselves

Oh…if you didn’t think this was an interesting story before, you can certainly see it now. Two weeks ago Politico reported that vice president Joe Biden said tea party Republicans “acted like terrorists” in the debt talks. Since then, the

Words have meaning. Somebody said that once—or twice, and the path to a Barack Obama reelection is simple. He just has to change his words. I know there has been talk from his campaign that he will need to “destroy”

The media should be destroying Joe Biden right now. There should be a countdown clock on his resignation. The Vice-President of the United States of America said that tea party Republicans “acted like terrorists” during the recent budget and debt

My memory is getting worse with time, but it’s still pretty good. Anybody out there remember what happened on Nov. 2, 2010? I think there was an election that day and if my memory serves me well, Democrats and liberal

One of this nation’s top businessmen goes straight after the President of the United States and the media can’t find the time to fit it in. I believe he used the “S” word … the “socialist” word … to describe

People may begin to believe it. That’s why truth needs to surface and lies get buried as soon as possible. Since the activist old media resisted at every turn making Anthony Weiner the issue, they have to continue bashing on

The world will end August 2nd. Or something like that. Preacher Harold Camping picked 6:00pm May 21st, the Democrats in the Treasury have picked August 2nd. Thus, the parrots in the activist old media have joined in and said that

January 1776 Thomas Paine first declared these words as he provided inspiration for a Revolution. The Revolution. “The time has found us.” The words leapt off the page to me as I read Common Sense for the umpteenth time, but

A new Harvard Study (yes, that Harvard) concludes that patriotic events, like 4th of July parades, creates more Republicans. Hey, it’s not often a Harvard Study supports conventional wisdom, so we must take the time to point it out. Here’s

I’m writing this column, hoping to avoid something tragic or horrible before it happens. The media loves telling us how they are there to protect us from everything awful or dangerous. Okay, time to put up. Conservatives are under attack

The activist old media does not want to make this connection. Barack Obama and Rod Blagojevich go way back. They emerged from the same cesspool that is Illinois/Chicago politics. Obama and Rahm Emanuel helped run Blago’s first campaign for Governor

Of the many things this “Arab Spring” has the potential to produce, this may be pretty low on the scale, but it is a lesson in the literary license that the internet can bring. Simply, the story is this; an

This headline should not be surprising, Obama’s first campaign used serious deception to get him elected President, why would the second campaign not do the same thing? Basically, the Obama campaign sent out an e-mail with a video making it
