After nearly 3 years of ratings failure (to say the least), Al Jazeera America will finally be put out of its misery this April. Since its 2013 launch, not only has the left-wing cable news network failed to deliver anything
After NBC News anchor Brian Williams was caught lying about being in a helicopter over Iraq that took enemy fire, according to Vanity Fair, he wondered aloud if he had a brain tumor. Turness and the other executives who had
According to a lengthy Vanity Fair piece covering the ongoing credibility implosion at NBC News, disgraced and suspended-NBC Nightly News editor Brian Williams is bitter towards those who he believes could have saved him, including Tom Brokaw: While he has
According to a lengthy Vanity Fair article that examines the ongoing credibility implosion at NBC News, CNN Chief Jeff Zucker used his left-wing cable news network to “fan the flames” of the Brian Williams scandal in the hopes that it
According to an extensive Vanity Fair article looking at the trials and tribulations of NBC News, the ongoing internal investigation of suspended-NBC News anchor Brian Williams has resulted in the discovery of a “number of incidents” that “paint a portrait
President Barack Obama has granted an interview to National Public Radio in an attempt to sell the Iran “framework” to a skeptical public. In the process, he compares the agreement to a real-estate deal–a poor analogy for a man who called his own last property purchase deal “boneheaded” after involving indicted (now convicted) bag Chicago man Tony Rezko. Obama also provided at least five big reasons that Congress–whose opposition is growing–should reject the Iran deal.
A new poll by St. Leo University finds more people trust Fox News on climate change than they do President Barack Obama.
On Monday, the University of Virginia’s Phi Kappa Psi fraternity announced it would investigate a lawsuit against Rolling Stone.
The Columbia Journalism Review concludes the core reporting problem was confirmation bias.
The fraternity at the center of a now-discredited Rolling Stone rape article says the story was defamatory and reckless and they are pursuing legal action against the magazine.
Frequent Morning Joe guest Mike Barnicle, who quit the Boston Globe in 1998 after the editor called for his resignation for fabricating one story and plagiarizing another, decided to exhibit more of his unrepressed rage at conservatives for the Daily Beast on Sunday in an article hilariously titled “Why is the GOP So Angry at Everything These Days?”
Of course no one was or will be fired at “Rolling Stone” in the wake of the left-wing outlet’s colossal debacle in misreporting a gang rape that almost certainly didn’t happen at the University of Virginia. When you’re an activist
On Sunday night, Rolling Stone magazine published a report from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism detailing the many failures of its University of Virginia rape story.
In the blow-up that has followed the Rolling Stone story about “Jackie,” a student at UVA who claimed she had been gang-raped, Rolling Stone managing editor Will Dana allowed that the mistake resulted from “individual failure” and “procedural failure, an institutional failure… Every single person at every level of this thing had opportunities to pull the strings a little harder, to question things a little more deeply, and that was not done.”
As the reports on Rolling Stone’s journalistic fiasco make clear, author Sabrina Rubin Erdely and Rolling Stone’s editors failed to do the right—and professionally appropriate thing—time after time. Had they done anything akin to due diligence, the now-retracted mess of a story would never have seen the light of day, let alone have been enshrined in print.
On April 4, The Economist mocked the NRA and Second Amendment supporters with a column that turned out to be an epic fail because it was built on numbers from a debunked Everytown for Gun Safety study, an erroneous claim that “armor piercing” M855 ammo endangers police, and a not-so-veiled attempt to undercut the push to arm women for self-defense on college campuses.
The magazine fully retracts the original story, while CNN’s Brian Stelter reports that Rolling Stone’s publisher will not punish any employees involved in its publication.
On Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125 from 7PM to 10PM EST, Breitbart News’ Matthew Boyle and Alex Swoyer will be hosting a special Easter program discussing all of the most important recent news with a special
CNN’s week-long misinformation campaign that used the Indiana and Arkansas religious freedom bills to gin up hate against Christians by dishonestly portraying them as fiery bigots, did little to help the left-wing network in its ongoing death struggle with MSNBC
Just hours after Breitbart News published the troubling history of NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s oppressive attitudes towards women that came with his 1971 conversion to Islam at age 24, Jabbar responded directly to Breitbart with a lengthy Facebook post where
If Arnold Schwarzenegger could travel back in time, as he did in the Terminator movies, and stop himself from vetoing gay marriage in 2005 and 2007, then perhaps he could have saved his political career from its later, near-complete devastation. However, the Silicon Valley techies haven’t yet invented a time machine. So Schwarzenegger must content himself with an op-ed in the pages of the Washington Post, lecturing fellow Republicans about the evils of Indiana’s religious freedom law.
Politifact may have outdone themselves with a fact check devoted to whether or not Gov. Scott Walker really bought a sweater at a clothing retail store for one dollar.
New York Times columnist David Brooks, who views himself as something of an expert on history, having defended Barack Obama’s anti-Christian remarks at the National Prayer breakfast this year in which Obama chided Christians for criticizing Muslim violence by citing the Spanish Inquisition of 500 years ago, made a slight mistake in his column revolving around Passover published on Friday.
Just before Christmas Eve weekend in December of 2013, a young New York-based communications director fired off a tweet before stepping on a plane to Africa. The tweet was a joke about hoping she didn’t contact AIDS while visiting the
Left-wing Israeli writer Ari Shavit, an ardent advocate of Israeli concessions to the Palestinians, has blasted President Barack Obama’s “framework” deal with Iran, saying that Obama is making the same mistakes for peace that George W. Bush made for war. Just as Bush launched an invasion of Iraq with no clear idea of the strategic consequences, Shavit says, Obama does not realize the deadly results of a bad deal with Iran, including a nuclear Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey.
NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was born Lew Alcindor in New York City on April 16, 1947. In 1971, at the age of 24, while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks, he converted to Islam and changed his name to one that means “the noble one, servant of the Almighty.” There was, however, an ugly side to Jabbar’s conversion to Islam — a troubling and oppressive attitude towards women.
