While newspapers in the U.S. struggle to survive the triple threat posed by the Internet, the perception of a persistent left-leaning bias, and the weak economy, newspapers in the People’s Republic of China simply struggle to report the news. Most

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

Supporters of the Cleveland Cavaliers, especially the owner of the team, are upset that basketball superstar LeBron James has decided to sign with the Miami Heat. The anger is especially intense because the Cavaliers offered $4 million more over the
The American public education system is going the way of the auto companies and just like the $17.4 billion American taxpayers forked over to bail out outrageous employee contracts and spineless spending decisions of management, labor unions are hoping their
I get a sense of the threat we may face, from a Supreme Court influenced by Elena Kagan, in her vow to defer to the political branches of government when interpreting the Constitution. This is a stance now being trumpeted
One really can’t satirize this kind of “journalism.” All one can do is point out its awfulness, its neglect, its illiteracy, its ignorance. It is the kind of “journalism” the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission must have
Hero of the Gulf? That’s certainly what it’s starting to look like. Not only has BP purchased 32 of actor Kevin Costner’s oil/water separators but they’ve tested the hell out of them and seem legitimately amazed at how well they
One of the best ways to cajole a reader into accepting a point of view is to use emotional descriptives in writing. It is the difference between opinion style editorials — like what I write — and straight news, like
Second of two parts. Part One is here. Much of the Draft seems heavily influenced by the findings and recommendations of a USC/Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism study,”Public Policy and Funding the News.” It claims that the Internet and
The other day President Obama gave BP an ultimatum, he met with BP executives for the first time, and squeezed $20 billion from the company. He also made a prime-time bomb of a speech. Moreover, in that short period, Tony

UNBELIEVABLE! How’s this for HOPE AND CHANGE? Tar blobs began washing up on Florida’s white sand beaches near Pensacola this past weekend. Crude oil has already been reported along barrier islands in Alabama and Mississippi, and has impacted about 125
Time for a POLL: 1. Is director James Cameron helping and truly trying to be helpful with the Gulf Oil Spill? 2. Is Cameron’s raging “those guys are morons” ego completely out of control but because he’s King of the
On June 6, 1944, the D-Day invasion of Europe took place during World War II as Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France. America lost 2,499 of its finest men that day. (Enterprise News) It’s too bad Barack Obama
It must be insanely frustrating to do media outreach or public diplomacy for Israel. It’s not only that media outlets seem to have an endless supply of anti-Israel storylines that they just mix and match regardless of context, from lurid
It didn’t take a genius to predict the butt-boy entertainment media would pimp “Fair Game’s” lies or wouldn’t bother to challenge director Doug Liman’s absurd claim that his film wasn’t about the politics. This was scorpion-and-frog easy to predict. What
