Yesterday Big Journalism first told you how NBC’s Dylan Ratigan and other media types were actively working with Occupy Wall Street to help them craft messaging (and in some cases, completely revise statements themselves) while simultaneously reporting on the movement

Yesterday afternoon a reader name LibertyGeek asked a great question about media bias: I ask what are we going to do about it? There’s no doubt that the MSM is in the tank for the Dems. That knowledge and a

Why does the GOP agree to debates hosted by those openly hostile to our side like MSNBC, Politico, and Anderson “teabagging” Cooper? Democrats aren’t stupid. Their refusal to accept Fox News’ debate invitations during the 2008 election wasn’t cowardice; it

Junk science has exploded thanks to the Internet. It’s easier than ever to strike fear in the hearts of consumers by using words like “toxic” or worse, “cancer” in association with a given product. Some of you may remember the

– Via NewsBusters, it’s come to this: Ed Schultz says he will be “cheer-leading” for the Occupy Wall Street movement every night on the air. I’m not sure even the Left can handle Ed Schultz in a cheer-leading uniform every

Note to media: it’s the ethics, not the ideology! Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi, also exposed as one of the alleged journalists working with the Occupy movement behind the scenes and undisclosed, offers up a weak defense of the inherent lack

Dave Weigel acknowledges in his Journolist 2.0 analysis that as a member of the original Journolist, his take may not be well received. I didn’t have a problem with his write up until I got to this: Why dilineate [sic]

—– What good is a self-appointed truth squad that appears in a national news segment like this merely to call the top-three GOP candidates “mostly” liars? Oh, and what about one that doesn’t bother to fact-check even a single Democrat?

In my experience, there are two ways that the mainstream media blames Bush for problems that exist three years after he left the Oval Office: 1. They blame Bush when something is bad that they think should not be considered

“Still looking to make a difference.” — CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux introducing Anita Hill … because making a difference trumps everything, including truth and decency. See if you can figure out which part of this gushing interview is the most troubling…

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

—– With a stunning lack of journalistic ethics and/or an equally stunning ignorance of economics, NBC’s David Gregory made three declarative partisan statements in less than seven minutes during his failed attempt to “gotcha” Herman Cain on yesterday’s “Meet the

Remember when Media Matters was hyper-sensitive to anti-semitism? Shockingly, they’ve gone silent in response the latest wave of anti-semitism. [youtube IMjm4LxFa1c nolink] They once had to dig deep and literally create an allegation of anti-semitism against Glenn Beck. Of course,

– Big Government takes on the ADL. It’s worth noting here, as the media is every bit at fault in this regard, as are they. The Anti-Defamation League is one of the most powerful and authoritative voices against bigotry of

Why is it so hard to answer such a simple question? I’m having the same problem with The Washington Post. Their ombudsman, Patrick Pexton, emailed me a short note: Hi Mary: I actually am not a spokesman for The Post,

Big Journalism has learned that the Occupy Washington DC movement is working with well-known media members to craft its demands and messaging while these media members report on the movement. Someone has made the emails from the Occupy Wall Street

I received another email from Mr. Brock from The New York Times and I have to admit I am shocked, but very thankful he is still corresponding with me. However, his latest response isn’t getting us anywhere and we’re just

Two weeks ago, I responded to the mainstream media labeling the Occupy Wall Street protests the left-wing version of the Tea Party. Apparently the reasons given to prove that comparison false were too vague for the media to understand, because

While I’m trying to understand why 99% of the Old Media isn’t properly covering Operation Fast and Furious there is one who is doing her job: Sharyl Attkisson at CBS News. We have to give credit where credit is due.

A few days ago, I reported on an email I received from New York Times senior editor Greg Brock in response to my questions about the paper’s coverage of the developing “Fast & Furious” scandal. While the response I was

– There was never any serious proof that tea party members spat upon a black Democrat Congressman. There is, however,official confirmation of Occupy protest participants spitting upon a female member of our armed forces. There was a time in American

In the beginning, I was willing to accept that a group of unhappy citizens utilized their First Amendment rights to protest what they believe to be an injustice (as I have written here and here): The picking of winners and

Sean Penn launches into a bizarre, hateful race-baiting attack on the tea party, claiming we want to lynch “the N-word in the White House” and rather than challenge Penn’s hysterical and deliberate smear with the example of, say, HERMAN CAIN,
