The Associated Press has a famous book on grammar and style that its news writers use to govern their work, a book that is also popular with the whole American news industry. It has served as a standard for many
Nobody likes a racist… Nobody likes a race hustler either. On Saturday March 20th the leftist media reported what they described as a horrible story from their sources at the conservative-hating Huffington Post. The media claimed that members of the
In modern day America, if you criticize the government you are now fair game to be called upon to explain yourself in front of it. As Byron York reported in a recent Washington Examiner column, Rep. Henry Waxman sent letters
This week, nominated by Tom Costella of Canton, MI, the “Educated Idiots Award” goes to… Fidel Castro (remember him)? The communist octogenarian/anachronism has come out of semi-comatose retirement to praise President Obama’s trillion dollar government takeover of Americans’ health care.

It’s come to this… The state-run media is now pushing their anti-tea party propaganda from sources at the Huffington Post. And, they’re reporting this propaganda without a single piece of evidence. On Saturday the media reported without a shred of
Because the legacy media focused on the persona of Barack Obama and the “historic” nature of his candidacy, rather than anything substantive, it willfully neglected to thoroughly vet his specific campaign promises. Like Washington Irving’s character Rip Van Winkle, the
