Open Thread: Has The Left Gone All Fire and Brimstone?

These fire and brimestone preachers of the left give the Southern Baptist with which I grew up a run for their tithing. As a kid spending weekends in the Ozarks, I remember my granny’s preacher shaking his fist, his jowls

Slate Reporter Misses Entire Point of Palin WSJ Critique

Keith Olbermann Returns… With Thank Yous?

Olbermann is back with two clips courtesy of Mediaite. Olbermann vies for the self-effacing guffawing “aw shucks you really love me” but it’s odd to see him not snarling about Fox for more than a minute. In one of the

Guess Who! Bush Dominates Media to Promote Book

An excuse to post this .jpeg: I love how his face seemingly peeks out from the black-and-white news columns of the day to defiantly whisper: “PSSST. HEY. Still heeeeere.” His existence may have been obscured by the hubris surrounding the

Olbermann Demanded MSNBC Apology

The details of the Olbermann – MSNBC slapfight are still emerging, but one thing we’re hearing now is that one of Olbermann’s conditions for returning to air was for MSNBC to apologize for the ordeal. And it looks like his

Howard Kurtz: MSNBC Policy Is Related to Fox News or Something

It’s amazing to me that liberals can’t assume responsibility without pointing at Fox as though Fox has anything to do with Olbermann’s insubordination. Howard Kurtz this weekend: [youtube hEIiAUPr8Xc nolink] “Well if you look at Fox News you have some

Sunday Night Open Thread: Will Olbermann Return?

Rachel Maddow Defends MSNBC's Imaginary Credibility

Election Coverage Roundup: MSNBC Fails Epically

Does anyone really watch MSNBC any more? Seriously, does their blindingly white line-up (which is only an issue because they make it so) of hysterical liberals with their cacophonous whining reverberating from the padded walls of their echo chamber appeal

The Left Lost More Ways Than One on Election Night

The latest installment comes courtesy Congressman Ron Klein who accosted blogger of the Lacrosse Watchdog Blog: [youtube WjCU6yNs9o nolink] Martha Coakley’s muscle knocked a Weekly Standard reporter to

What The Media and The Left Won't Tell You About Lauren Valle

The left loves full video and always pooh-poohs excerpts, which is why so many thought it odd that they ignored Lauren Valle’s actions leading up to the now-infamous scuffle. Full video has emerged validating all the eyewitness accounts that Valle

Local Reporter Betrays Bias in O'Keefe Interview

I cringed for this reporter while watching this since he obviously lacked the modesty to feel embarrassment for himself. The Ted Baxter of local Philly Fox 29 got the vapors while interviewing ACORN dismantler James O’Keefe; O’Keefe’s latest video shows

PBS Announces Election Night Coverage

Playing it safe while watching the calls of “DEFUND!” roll in for its sister in government funding, NPR. Gwen Ifill rounds out the analysts; maybe this time she’ll have a better grasp of American history.

XM Radio Host on Juan Williams: 'Negro Apologist'

Keep it classy, Guy With Horrible Radio Delivery! This XM William Shatner would’ve fit perfectly at the NAACP press conference where the word “uncle Tom” was their word du jour. His proverbial 15 minutes of fame: [youtube y4IR2VZt_WM nolink]

Tea Party and NAACP Square off in St. Louis

The St. Louis Tea Party’s Ben Evans fights back against the ridiculous defamation from the NAACP: Adolophus Pruitt, the man who stood silently and idly by at the press conference where the NAACP mocked Kenneth Gladney and called him an

Who Really Puts Islam in a Bad Light?

I’ve been sifting through hundreds of emails, stories, reactions to Juan Williams’ sensational firing by NPR over his remarks on Bill O’Reilly’s show, covered on Big Journalism for the past 24 hours. I’ve also read Slate’s ridiculous comparison of Williams

Anderson Cooper Grills Ben Jealous on NAACP Report

Last night Anderson Cooper did what few journalists dare to do: he asked the tough questions of NAACP’s Ben Jealous on the topic of the highly-controversial report the NAACP released which unfairly mischaracterized the tea party. Jealous gets flustered and

Third Time's a Charm? NAACP's Latest Tea Party Smear

The NAACP is back again with yet another attempt to defame and smear the multicultural tea party movement. Strike 1: July 2010 the NAACP’s demand for tea party racism repudiation fell flat when video emerged the day before showing an

Blowing Apart the Atlantic's Attempt to Doctor Truth

I adore it when a publication commits a heinous irony while attempting to condescend to its ideological opposition in a long and tortuously drawn out essay. Behold, The Atlantic presents you with this comedic headline, comedic, considering the subhead that

Once More into the Breach, a Maher Wrap-Up

Friday night I was joined by Team Breitbart in L.A. at CBS Studios to appear on “Real Time with Bill Maher.” It was exactly what I thought it would be except for one thing: I was taller than most of

Krystal Ball, HuffPo Cry 'Sexism!'

By now I’m sure everyone is familiar with Democratic congressional candidate Krystal Ball’s reindeer games (NSFW photos here). Now Ball has a missive up at the Huffington Post comparing herself to Hillary Clinton and bastardizing history on why Bill Clinton

Carnahan-Friendly Blog Critical of Honest Journalism

Last year blogger 24thstate did some excellent reporting about the structure of a little-known blog heavily linked to the Democratically dynastic Carnahan family of Missouri. The blog is a clearinghouse of all things anti-anti-Carnahan, with special attention on Roy Blunt

NPR Orders Staff Away from Stewart, Colbert Rallies

I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t find this move from a government-funded media entity a surprising one, but kudos to NPR for drawing a line in the sand. Of course, there isn’t a directive about objective coverage,

Media Spins Predicted Dem Losses as Hit for Women

Government media is wringing its hands at the predicted losses their party will suffer at the hands of an informed electorate this fall. All options to fight back are on the table, including spinning the failure of liberal policy into

EXCLUSIVE: CBS2 Reporter Threatens Journalist Over Rahm Questioning

We’ve often said that the media “protects” President Obama but this video from WIND radio host and Big Blogs contributor William Kelly shows this allegation literally. Kelly, a Chicagoan, was there when Rahm Emanuel was pressing the flesh, kissing babies,

Politico's Mike Allen Owes NRSC an Apology

UPDATE: Larry Weitzner of Jamestown Associates, the media consulting firm that initially denied having described West Virginians as “hicky,” admitted on Thursday to having used that characterization in the firm’s casting call request. He has since been fired by the

Allow Me to Introduce Myself…

I don’t know if I ever believed in the infallibility of a journalist’s objectivity, but I definitely stopped flirting with the notion as a young adult. There is bias for agenda and bias for truth. Though I work in broadcasting
