One of the great speeches of the 20th Century was delivered during this week in history, June 12, 1987. Ronald Reagan stood before the Berlin Wall—Brandenburg Gate, and demanded that Mikhail Gorbachev, the leader of the Soviet Union, remove the

This entire story will come as no surprise, but must be mentioned as the media blasts Andrew Breitbart for breaking the #Weinergate story. According to one of the women, MSNBC had first shot at it. Lisa Weiss, a Las Vegas

I sometimes wonder if the media thinks the public has a universal case of amnesia. Like we can’t remember what they were saying way, way back in the days when George W. Bush was president. Bush was president right after

This is not the real Anthony Weiner. Somebody hacked him and this is an avatar named, Tony…uh….Tony….Whiner. It’s a subtle difference in name, but makes all the difference in the world when it comes to what is going on here.

“This has been a befuddling experience.” “After almost 11 hours of answering questions, any that anyone wanted to put, today I’m going to have to get back to work doing the job that I’m paid to do.” Ya—ask away. Anthony

Like clockwork—you can count on the activist old media to take a human disaster and make it political. They are still searching for bodies in Missouri and leftists have started their chant of “global warming,” “climate change,” or “global cooling,”

It’s mildly entertaining to see the same brilliant media folk who blew their analysis so badly during the last election, struggle to try to figure out the next election. First, you can ask the legitimate question of why those who

I keep thinking/hoping, eventually journalists are going to wake up. I’ve spent 30 years in the business, always cynical about its mission (the business is supposed to attract cynics,) and waiting and wondering if good sense and logic will finally

The man who “runs the world’s money” has also been called, “The Great Seducer.” While I think they had something else in mind when they were talking “seduction,” there are some similarities here between taking our cash and taking whatever

What a waste of 60 Minutes. Actually, it was more like 42 minutes, but Kroft gave us nothin.’ I will say this was exactly as I predicted, but that would be way too easy. The activist old media is easier

Inquiring minds apparently don’t want to know. Most in the activist old media seem very willing to accept and even perpetuate the president’s argument for not releasing the death photos of Osama bin Laden. The same media that has fought

It’s the May ratings period so it’s perfect timing for CBS to interview Barack Obama about the recent killing of Obama bin Laden. The interview has already been done (it was shot Wednesday) but I am still going to put

Oh puleeeeeeeese. Can we cut the crap with the Royal Wedding? We’re all happy for the couple, but just let them get married and get on with their lives. My suggestion; come to Vegas and get it done at the

Would the ‘nets like to have great numbers for the May ratings book? I’m guessing they would. I’ll tell them how to get ’em. Do an honest investigation into President Barack Obama’s college transcripts. Honest, is the key word here.

The absolute disconnect between the media and reality on “Pain at the Pump” gets more profound every day. The first rule for the media on high gas prices, do not make a connection between Barack Obama and rising prices, in

I’ve always appreciated Steve Wynn for his ability to get to the heart of the matter. We haven’t always agreed on everything, but after nearly 30 years covering him in Las Vegas, I have always found him to be straight

You hear this mantra everywhere in the activist old media, “The Republican candidates for president are flawed,” “Republicans are not happy with their candidates.” George Stephanopoulos goes to the “Smart Screen” on Good Morning America with the latest poll/editorial that

The question I asked last week is now answered by the NBA. The league will impose its style of political correctness on fans—and you can take it or leave it. LA Laker star Kobe Bryant is being fined $100,000 for

This is a big week in American history. 150 years ago Tuesday the first shots were fired in the Civil War. The media has been covering the commemorations of the historic battle of Ft. Sumpter that really wasn’t much of

Barack Obama ain’t closing Gitmo and the media is there to make excuses for him. Shocking. There are as many examples of this as there are members of the activist old media, but let’s take this brilliant note from Good

This is funny and sad at the same time. Katie Couric is out at CBS later this year and before she heads out the door, she slaps local CBS affiliates across the face and blames them for her poor ratings.

In between watching March Madness and NASCAR I try to spend half hour on Sunday with my favorite lefty talk show host, Chris Matthews. The gymnastics he performs as he tries to protect Dear Leader always makes for great sport.
