The Washington Post series Top Secret America promises to be an indictment of the American intelligence community. They are offering up plenty of stories about bureaucratic inertia, duplication of efforts, and money wasted in an effort to keep America safe.
The media are gathered in the White House press room expecting another session kicking the crap out of feckless Robert Gibbs. The lights dim and several disco balls descend from the ceiling while tendrils of smoke snake across the front
The Washington Post series Top Secret America promises to be an indictment of the American intelligence community. They are offering up plenty of stories about bureaucratic inertia, duplication of efforts, and money wasted in an effort to keep America safe.
After using both Google and Politico’s own search engine, it appears as though the online publication I like to call The Left-Wing MSM Disguised as New Media, has found the story of a government whistle-blower’s testimony regarding systemic racial discrimination
Do you know — and more important, do your Representatives and Senators know — that the just-passed Dodd-Frank financial reform bill will unleash a tsunami or racial quotas on financial regulatory agencies and, inevitably, on the financial industry itself? Not
A memo obtained from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence indicates the Washington Post is preparing to “publish articles and an interactive website that will likely contain a compendium of government agencies and contractors allegedly conducting Top Secret

Poet Ogden Nash knew the score: …if called by a panther, don’t anther. And that’s exactly what America’s liberal agenda-setting media has done. It has not answered the “New” Black Panther’s call daring it to report on voter intimidation by
Yesterday, Newsbusters ran a story with this headline: WaPo Finally Runs Story on NASA Administrator Bolden: Eight Paragraphs On Page A13 From the article: In a June 30 interview with “Talk to Al Jazeera,” NASA administrator Charles Bolden revealed that
My name is Hippocritico and I’m here to help my friends in the mainstream media protect their journalistic legacies by making sure they don’t come off as brazen, biased, hypocrites by covering a particular story that hurts one political party
The Washington Post reports that today at their national conference in Kansa City, MO the NAACP will vote on a resolution condemning the Tea Party movement as racist. Of particular interest is a passage in the Post report that describes
What exactly is “courage” in the context of art? I spent the 4th of July weekend the same way many others did. I watched a TV special on the Revolution; my Fiancé made a raspberry pie in the shape of
The David Weigel saga continues to stagger on, becoming ever more intellectually incoherent. Not only has Weigel written yet another story about himself, this time for Esquire, but Ezra Klein of the Washington Post — the man who recommended Weigel
Fascinating to note that the quote Robert Gibbs obsesses over — a quote from Rep. Paul Ryan, a Republican — is not only incomplete, and breathtakingly misrepresented, but taken straight from the pen of the Washington Post’s blogger/reporter, the “JournoList”
And now there are Four. Yesterday, Andrew Breitbart’s fourth “Big” website, Big Peace, launched, fittingly born on the Fourth of July. Editor-in Chief Peter Schweizer, a scourge of liberal mendacity and hypocrisy, is joined by the redoubtable Frank Gaffney and
I’ve never before been encouraged by a threat to our national security. But last week’s news that the FBI arrested ten Russian spies is reassuring – even rejuvenating – in a very odd way. (That an eleventh, apprehended in Cyprus
It’s been a pretty remarkable week, news-wise and media-wise, and to say the two are related would be an understatement. We’ve seen the lid finally blow off the long-simmering Al Gore sex scandal, which certainly serves to explain the otherwise
Ron Brynaert has a story over at his The Raw Story blog that reveals yet another denizen of the Old Media trying to be both a “journalist” and an operative of Barack Obama’s administration. She is Patricia McGinnis, an unpaid

So Dwight Armstrong died last week. He was an asshole who planted a bomb made of jet fuel near a lab at the University of Wisconsin back in 1970. The bomb killed a young teacher named Robert Fasnacht, who had
Throughout the promotional campaign for “South of the Border,” director Oliver Stone has been loudly complaining about what he sees as the American media’s unfavorable bias towards the subject of his documentary, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. Obviously this is a propaganda
I’ve had $100,000 burning in my pocket for the last three months and I’d really like to spend it on a worthy cause. So how about this: in the interests of journalistic transparency, and to offer the American public a

The Washington Post had two pieces on the (forced) resignation of its “conservative” blogger, Dave Weigel: one by ombudsman, Andrew Alexander; and, another by the staff writer, Howard Kurtz. Both pieces make a bad situation worse: Alexander’s by unintentionally posing
It’s always disheartening to see someone from your own camp take a bad hit as Dave Weigel has. The Washington Post blogger, who was hired to provide coverage “inside the conservative movement and the Republican Party,”resigned over recently leaked emails
In the first (and still best) “Austin Powers” film, a United Nations representative makes a faux pas and calls the film’s villain “Mr. Evil.” “It’s Dr. Evil,” he huffs. “I didn’t spend six years in Evil Medical School to be

This week, we saw partisan Washington Post blogger David Weigel resign for getting caught showing his private but unabashed disdain for conservatives. Weigel, who was hired by Post editors for his perceived thoughtful analysis of the issues, was actually a
Washington Post writer David Weigel has resigned his job reporting on the conservative movement and the Republican Party and the newspaper is well rid of him. Having only been hired in the spring of 2010, it took little time for
The title of the latest blog post from the Washington Post‘s Ombudsman, Andrew Alexander, reads; “Blogger loses job; Post loses standing among conservatives.” Alexander makes an incorrect assumption that the Weigel incident caused the Post to lose standing among conservatives.
The resignation under pressure of Washington Post blogger David Weigel raises so many important issues that it’s difficult to know where to start. So I’ll limit my comments to a few of the most important: Coming on the heels of
The Washington Post‘s David Weigel has resigned in the wake of a series of leaked emails, in which the blogger disparaged various figures in the conservative movement he was “covering” in his official capacity as the Post‘s point man on
On the heels of an L.A. Times story that 31% of Americans are “still not angry yet at the nation’s media,” one wonders how much lower that percentage would drop if the public knew exactly how much they are not
Eugene Robinson, a stage four Obama apologist at the Washington Post, thinks the Republican party is “all shook up” over Joe Barton’s portrayal of the Obama-BP “meeting” as a shakedown. Strange words coming from an MSM Obama shill who himself
Either these media know-it-alls don’t know their history or they do and assume we’re all stupid. In a break from the state’s racist legacy, South Carolina Republicans overwhelmingly chose Nikki Haley, an Indian American woman, to run for governor and
Richard Cohen of the Washington Post is a troubled soul these days. Having seen the triumph of the “narrative” so dear to so many liberal columnists and editors’ hearts, he and they are now forced to witness the disintegration of
On his first day in office, January 20, 2009, President Barack Obama issued a statement on the White House Web site promising Gulf Coast residents that his administration would not fail them like he accused his predecessor President George W.
Immediately following the 9/11 attacks in New York City, Americans were reminded just how brave and important first responders, including fire fighters, police, and EMTs, are to us. Nearly a decade on, though, Big Labor and politicians are using them
