Well someone obviously didn’t heed the media’s call of a New Tone. [youtube yG2hWFPLmZ4 nolink] When Democrats speak of a “reduction in rhetoric” or “civility” they’re really talking about censorship. Not for me, but for thee. Think Meredith Viera will

Big Journalism Editor Dana Loesch and Cornell Belcher discuss Sarah Palin’s remarks immediately following Hannity. “No one is going to be happy with anything Sarah Palin says until she puts her head on a platter and offers it up.”
I was pleased to read that Eric Fuller issued an apology to Trent Humphries this afternoon: Arizona shooting victim James Eric Fuller sent his apologies Monday for telling a Tea Party leader, “you are dead.” Dorothy DeRuyter, a companion of
There was a lot of discussion of this around the blogosphere as to whether or not ABC would air a video that, if Eric Fuller and Trent Humphries’ positions were reversed and a tea partier threatened someone who is obviously
There’s no mincing of words in this. Considering the public isn’t buying the spin and a recent study shows how Americans find Sarah Palin more believable and sincere after her Tucson remarks, this (forgive the “violent rhetoric”) backfired on the
Two things stick out: Thomas Paine was a deist, which means that Maher may not be a big fan of those things called “books” as he baselessly accuses “teabaggers.” Also, a man with a mullet, glorified, but a mullet nonetheless,
In an exclusive statement, famed attorney and Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz defended Sarah Palin’s use of the term “blood libel” from multiple detractors. As the Media Matters/MSM/Democrat narrative on the Tucson tragedy unravels, they are getting a lot more

I’m not kidding. As we reported this morning [yesterday], House Republicans will kick-start the 112th Congress tomorrow with a spirited recitation of the Constitution, a document whose recent relevance is due largely to the ideological and sartorial interests of the
As socialists progressives gear up to take on the filibuster, again, Jim Hoft shares some important filibuster myths that you’ll likely see parroted by many in the media as they struggle to carry Harry Reid’s increasingly heavy water pail. I
Look, I don’t like getting juvenile in terms of media critique, but I just think that a man who embodies a modern-day adult Little Lord Fauntleroy shouldn’t be calling names. Shame on me for that, right?
Interesting move. Former CNN “American Morning” anchor John Roberts is expected to join FOX News Channel as a senior national correspondent, based in Atlanta. He will be reporting on major domestic and international stories for the network. […] Says FNC
Why you shouldn’t call ladies “sweetheart,” “a–hole,” or “sugar.” Although, I’m sure the a-word was said in the same tone that most men say the other words. The incident occurred in a pre-game production meeting also attended by ESPN announcers
No, it’s just his lack of professionalism shining through. He refers to the Democrats on the panel by their titles, but for Rep. Bachmann, it’s “Michele.” Stay classy, Harry. [youtube vgwuEn1xaqQ nolink]
[youtube 2yXHZKYtnrM nolink] From Breitbart.tv: The new liberal talking point appears to be that the term “ObamaCare” is really meant as a derogatory, partisan attack word. If that’s true, then why did the Obama Administration buy GoogleAds directing “ObamaCare” search
Whatever insane, drunken reasoning they can employ to come to terms with why Bush’s book sold so well, I guess.

While the denigrated and ridiculed citizen journalists of the “under media” focus on unimportant stories like Pigford, renewed Death Panels talk, and the government power grab on the internet, our friends in the highly-respected (and well-funded) world of “legitimate” journalism

Funness abounds. I particularly like the “The Barbra Streisand Political IQ Award for Celebrity Vapidity.” Winner? More here.
They need to get a room. If it’s not the tingle down his leg from a speech, it’s the “boyish smile” he loves. We’re one presser away from Matthews pulling this:
This seems pretty nuts. Correct me if it’s something completely in the ordinary for a federal agency: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has bought a Google advertisement to steer people searching for “ObamaCare” to a page that
