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

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

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
The arc of the MSM is at once predictable and satisfying, especially when it comes to the liberal media’s slowly dawning realization that the Obamessiah ain’t all they cracked him up to be. First, a willful decision to opt for
Unable to discuss facts in any logical, coherent way, or even engage in civil discourse, the modern left has two modes of argumentation: tu quoque and ad hominem. The former translates roughly as “and so are you,” while the latter

The same weekend “Sex and the City 2” hit theatres, the email copied below (which was leaked to Big Hollywood), titled: Is Sex & the City 2 Bad For America’s Brand?, made the rounds in the obvious hopes of kicking
Yes, we here at Big Journalism know there’s an infinite number of “what-if-the-shoe-were-on-the-other-foot” stories when it comes to the MSM. Any story that can redound to a conservative’s discredit will be hyped to the skies: [youtube r90z0PMnKwI nolink] Anything that
It’s become a familiar story: confronted with almost any form of opposition, the self-righteous left skips over the informed-debate part of the political dialogue and immediately resorts to vitriol, if not outright violence. The “peaceful” and “tolerant” mask slips, and

A Washington Post/ABC News poll shows a major shift in sentiment toward (against?) the tea party movement. As an original tea party organizer, this shift doesn’t surprise me. By “this shift,” I refer to the the tea party’s popularity waning
