Now that the Super Bowl is over, there’s the usual selective outrage arguing that ‘this or that ad is racist.’ Last year, it was the Tibetans and GroupOn; this year, it is the Chinese and Pete Hoekstra’s bid for the U.S.
On my Twitter account, I follow a few hundred mainstream media-types (keep the enemy closer, right?), and unless I’ve missed it (and I hope I have), not a single one has spoken out in defense of Roland Martin. Not one. How scary
I say offers little but in reality Romney has more to lose than Santorum does to gain. The contests in Missouri, Minnesota, and Colorado were all non-binding, which means it was nothing more than a beauty contest as no delegates will be
***UPDATE: As expected, Politico’s Dylan Byers uses Martin’s suspension to once again admonish CNN for not “punishing” (his word) Erick Erickson and Dana Loesch. Fascistic GLAAD wins another scalp. Over the years, CNN’s Roland Martin has said some awfully outrageous stuff about Republicans and the Tea
– This is now beyond stupid and ridiculous. Progressives are now angry at Roland Martin because he was making jokes during the Super Bowl. There is a scary, fascist trend developing here in the United States where people too sensitive to apparently
El Rushbo didn’t mince words on EastwoodGate today. Rush Limbaugh, back behind the golden EIB microphone following a one-day vacation, addressed the Chrysler Super Bowl ad featuring Clint Eastwood. And the talk show titan didn’t like what he heard. I think he
If John Podesta isn’t paying his Politico-parrot Dylan Byers anything, he’s getting quite the sweet deal. In today’s lip-lock with Media Matters, Byers writes up a piece about the Accuracy In Media award our own Dana Loesch and CBS News
We have just passed through the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) brouhaha. A bill intended to stop theft – an important goal, and a necessary function of government. But SOPA was overly broad, and deserved in its most recent iteration
It was an onslaught of savvy PR tactics yesterday that brought the Susan G. Komen Foundation to its knees, apparently prompting the organization’s retreat today from its initial decision to cut its funding to Planned Parenthood. As Politico reported this
In a blatant example of the Democrat/Media complex, NBC News’ reporter and anchor Andrea Mitchell actually thanks Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) for her efforts in getting the Komen Foundation to reverse their decision to withdraw support from abortion provider Planned
I take no pleasure in the misery of others, but as someone who recognizes that the mainstream media is the arch-villain in the fight for human liberty and the survival of an America that doesn’t resemble a European socialist country
So if I understand how this works, we currently live in a media world where “Juan” is racist, where “food stamps” is racist, where pointing out that a president who enjoys basketball enjoys basketball is racist. But “cracker“? Why, that’s
Unless you missed it this week: Media Matters still refuses to condemn the violence in the Media Matters-endorsed OWS movement. Media Matters also refuses to answer why a “media site” is seemingly in violation of the rules binding 501 c(3)s
[youtube http://youtu.be/CCN5-ovvFL0] The House Ways & Means Committee hit Barack Obama on the third anniversary on Barack Obama’s promise to Matt Lauer that if he didn’t make “progress” on the economy, well, that would be that. “If I don’t have
It’s been over 25 years since radio shock jock Howard Stern went national and in his own way helped to define today’s AM radio. So, it’s amazing to see the liberal media now suddenly discover a mean puritanical streak in
Media Matters continues to deflect from accusations of antisemitism and extreme bias by trumping up nontroversies on other conservatives. In addition to watching Fox, scouring Andrew Breitbart’s Twitter feed, and recording Erick Erickson and Dana Loesch’s shows, Media Matters for
***UPDATE: Politico finally added a story about today’s Fast and Furious hearings to their front page. Only they buried it waaaaay below where my screenshot ends and waaaay below the days-old Obama crooning story. Media Matters must be thrilled. Good
Left-wing operatives, like those who run Politico, are intentionally attempting to create their own reality. In the same way the left turned “30 Rock,” a show that ranked 106 in the ratings last season, into some sort of cultural phenom,

Two weeks ago Big Government reported that Facebook and Politico created a new partnership to reveal users’ public private messages–if and when they relate to their feelings about a political candidate–will be fed through a ‘sentiment analysis tool’ and potentially
Politico’s Jonathan Martin didn’t only malign residents of Florida’s Panhandle on MSNBC when he invoked the phrase “Cracker Counties” to refer to the region, he went on to equate the region with all of the Deep South, also mentioning Georgia

– Juan Williams adds “Founding Fathers” and “Constitution” to the Big Book Of Words You Can’t Say Because They’re Racist, According to Me. References to a lack of respect for the “Founding Fathers” and the “Constitution” also make certain ears
Yesterday, Juan Williams of Fox News doubled down on his accusation that Republican presidential candidates are using “racial code words.” Today, Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic has followed suit with an article rehashing the tired allegation that Republicans are using
***UPDATE: Some are arguing “cracker” is acceptable within the context of Florida. Newsbusters, who also caught the slur, sums it up perfectly: Some have asserted that Martin meant the word “cracker” as a reference to native Floridians and not in
