Bernie Ward, once known as the “Lion of the Left” for his insane blathering as a leftist talk show host in San Francisco, will roar no more, at least not among civil folk.
I just love Fox NewsBy Michael Bates Wednesday, May 7, 2008
In fact, I don’t really love Fox News. I do, however, love saying that I just love Fox News. Simply expressing that view is enough to drive many liberals to rabid, foaming at the mouth frenzy. I mean, even more than their typical rabid, foaming at the mouth frenzy, which is not inconsiderable.
San Fran Chronicle Spreads False Immigration Raids StoryBy Warner Todd Huston Wednesday, May 7, 2008
The San Francisco Chronicle and the various demagog politicians of Berkeley and Oakland, California should really be ashamed of themselves for ginning up into sensational “raids” a few arrests by ICE agents and making of them actions designed to empty those community’s schools of children.
Nonsense ‘Survey’ Says Americans ‘Struggling in Life’By Warner Todd Huston Tuesday, May 6, 2008
How about I ask you if you “feel” like you make enough money each year? Let’s say you make $48,000 a year, OK? (That’s the median household income in the US) You’ll likely tell me, then that you “feel” you need more. Now, from this, can I conclude that you are “struggling in life” as a citizen of the USA?
Repression of press and paid agents in BangladeshBy OnTheWeb Tuesday, May 6, 2008
In my entire journalistic career, possibly I never saw a section of paid journalists opposing publication of reports and articles on the ongoing repression of journalists in a country. But, it happened in Bangladesh! And such nasty attempts at opposing this topic come from a journalist working with the Associated Press (AP). The other comes from a journalist belonging to a minor English language daily newspaper, which is owned by an ousted and extremely controversial advisor of the military emergency government.
Oprah Shifts to the Dark SideBy Marsha West Monday, May 5, 2008
Notorious New Ager George Lucas’s wildly popular Star Wars movies abound with occult themes. In Return of the Jedi, dissident Jedi warrior Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side of the Force and became the evil Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. Likewise, Oprah Winfrey has fully shifted to the dark side and is a full-fledged New Age spiritual leader and occultist. Make no mistake about it: as with Vader, Oprah is fully aware that she has made The Shift.
Press Freedom Day today: Last 12 months proved deadliest for mediaBy OnTheWeb Saturday, May 3, 2008
15 journalists murdered, 357 arrested since May 2007. Not even a single murder accused arrested. Islamabad remained unsafest place for journalists
Media Cover Up – Not really news, is it?By Dr. Richard Benkin Friday, May 2, 2008
On April 29, 2007, the Associated Press (AP), BBC, Reuters, the Press Trust of India (PTI), and the French Press Agency (AFP), all distributed the story of an American mountain climber being deported by the Nepalese government. Police arrested him at the Mount Everest base camp because, so all the accounts relate, they discovered a “Free Tibet” banner in one of his bags.
A Newspaper’s Skewed, Left-Partisan History LessonBy Warner Todd Huston Thursday, May 1, 2008
Dick Polman is a long time Philly columnist and extreme left-winger that rarely makes any attempt to seem “fair and balanced,” so it isn’t surprising that his latest attempt at prescient punditry is a plaintive plea for the Democrats to chill out and just get along so that they can beat the “septuagenarian” McCain
Defending America on the BBC!By Alan Caruba Saturday, April 26, 2008
When you’re internationally famous or, in my case, just available to do an hour of radio, occasionally the BBC, Great Britain’s famed radio outlet, calls you and asks that you be interviewed or participate in an on-air discussion.
NYT’s Failure to Understand Our Times Now CompleteBy Warner Todd Huston Monday, April 21, 2008
To show how pathetic The New York Times and John Broder are at analyzing the current political climate, all one has to do is read ”Gore-Lieberman: A Hyphen Apart? Try Poles.” Here the Times clearly reveals that they see but two types of American politician: the good guys against the war, and the evil ones for it. That’s it. To the Times there is no other issue, no other divide, no other substantive thought, no other thing that separates our leaders one from the other. There is only the war and nothing else.
How Dare ABC News Treat Obama as if He Were a Conservative!By Jim Kouri Monday, April 21, 2008
Richard A. Viguerie, publisher of ConservativeHQ.com, appears to have had the same reaction as many conservatives to Barack Obama’s performance and his subsequent complaints regarding the ABC News debate in Philadelphia between Hillary Clinton and Obama: Barack’s performance lacked any sort of dignity desired in a president and he showed clear thinking Americans he’s nothing more than an “empty-suit.”
Poor Coverage of Pope’s VisitBy Cliff Kincaid Friday, April 18, 2008
It was big news that the Pope said that he was ashamed that the Catholic Church had pedophiles in its midst. But there is much more to the story. The media ignore the well-documented fact, which the Pope understands, that the pedophile problem was a function of homosexual men infiltrating the church as priests.
A Culture of Corruption: The News MediaBy Jim Kouri Friday, April 18, 2008
During a segment of Fox News Channel’s The O’Reilly Factor, former CBS TV newsman now media critic, Bernard Goldberg, stated clearly and consisely, “The news media are corrupt.” His fellow guest Jane Hall, formerly of the L.A. Times and now a respected journalism professor concurred.
By Selwyn Duke Tuesday, April 15, 2008
The phrase “fair and balanced” certainly has a positive connotation. It is thought the greatest quality a news outlet can possess; it has even become a motto of the Fox News Network. Yet I don’t find Fox very balanced at all.
McCain Wrong to Support Media Shield LawBy Cliff Kincaid Tuesday, April 15, 2008
The Bush Administration is absolutely right―and Senator John McCain is absolutely wrong―on the issue of the so-called “media shield law” before Congress. The purpose of the law is to enable people claiming to be journalists to hide their anonymous sources of information even when those sources are involved in or have knowledge of criminal or terrorist activity.
By Yomin Postelnik Thursday, April 10, 2008
Presenting true and accurate information is crucial to enabling the public to make proper decisions, yet it’s increasingly clear that this is of little concern to today’s mainstream media. But as inexcusable as their distortions and slanted coverage are, they come as little surprise.
ABC’s Shameless Troop PoliticizationBy Bob Parks Thursday, April 10, 2008
It’s nothing new that the American news media, complete with starry-eyed ideologues, want to be a part of the possible history a Barack Obama presidency would be. They see it as a national historical vindication, an erasure of racism past, and it would be a damn good story.
Christiane Amanpour: Post Nam Cambodian Genocide Just Like U.S. ‘Waterboarding’ Today?By Warner Todd Huston Tuesday, April 8, 2008
So, do you want to see a most egregious example of equating apples to oranges? Well, even that old saw is too mild a metaphor to describe the disgusting example of Christiane Amanpour’s latest foray into moral relativism. In her CNN piece titled, ”Survivor recalls horrors of Cambodia genocide,” Amanpour assumes that American “waterboarding” today is exactly the same thing as the genocide of millions as perpetrated by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s.
Pultizer PukeBy Alan Caruba Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Isn’t it about time we all just admit that the Pulitzer Prizes are a sham? Let’s see who the winners are this year. There’s The Washington Post that took six of the 14 journalism categories. Six! It’s the most ever for the newspaper and second only in history to The New York Times which won seven Pulitzers in 2002, mostly for its 9/11 coverage.
By Roger Aronoff Friday, April 4, 2008
CBS’s 60 Minutes offered up a cleverly deceptive story that makes the U.S. government and military look extremely evil, building on a narrative that continues to damage American interests at home and abroad. The story, shown on March 30, was presented in such a way as to convince the audience that it has discovered some awful truths about a man held prisoner in Afghanistan and later Guantanamo, and finally set free after years of torture and abuse. The problem is that CBS left out or glossed over significant information that might have made viewers wonder if this man was really telling the truth. Clearly 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley wanted the viewers to believe he was. But the truth might not be so clear.
Fraud of the DayBy Bob Parks Wednesday, April 2, 2008
The liberal blogs are all in a collective, but cautious twitter over the UK Independent’s edition which calls our current economic recession “USA 2008: The Great Depression”. I’ve been saying for weeks now that leftist politicians, punditry, electorate, and media are talking down the economy purely for political advantage this November.
Fixing Hillary’s FightBy Bob Parks Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Tuesday, while in Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton made this cute little analogy between herself and movie-icon Rocky Balboa. She made reference to the conclusion of one of the training montages, where Rocky runs up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Public Broadcaster Faked Burqa IncidentBy OnTheWeb Thursday, March 13, 2008
Public broadcaster BNN deliberately misled viewers in a film clip about a woman in a burqa, the all-covering Muslim garment.
The Media Destruction Machine at WorkBy Alan Caruba Thursday, March 6, 2008
It was entirely predictable and, as such, a perfect example of the way the mainstream media, wedded to the bad science and false pronouncements of the global warming crowd would attack the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change.
Talk-Show Hosts Fall Like Flies in SF, Except Dr. Michael SavageBy John Lillpop Wednesday, March 5, 2008
--Satire--
First it was leftist nut case and alleged child pornographer Bernie Ward whose microphone was silenced by the broadcast moguls at KGO-AM in San Francisco
By Warner Todd Huston Tuesday, March 4, 2008
Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell has proven that skin color is deeper than hate in her Sunday column as she scolded Barack Obama for distancing himself from the endorsement of the racist Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan. Mitchell scoffed at Barack’s denouncement of Farrakhan as merely a “game” to placate racist white people and tried to pump up the legitimacy of Farrakhan at the same time.
The Shunning of Immigration Critics by the BBC, ABC and CBCBy Tim Murray Thursday, February 28, 2008
Is there something endemic in state broadcasting in the Anglophone world which makes the population question taboo and the pro-immigration stance the default position? Is there an intrinsic bias, and if so, where is it coming from? The journalists, the presenters, the researchers, the producers or the higher-ups? Is state media more captive of political correctness than the private media?
ABC Fakes Muslim Prejudice, Unsurprisingly Finds ‘Islamophobia’ in AmericaBy Warner Todd Huston Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Apparently to prove that the US is filled with Muslim hating Yahoos, ABC went on the hunt to find “Islamophobia” in America and the result is HYPERLINK “http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/WhatWouldYouDo/Story?id=4339476&page=1” “Witness to Discrimination: What Would You Do?”
Call It Quits, Andy Rooney!By Alan Caruba Monday, February 25, 2008
One of the great mysteries of television is why someone at CBS hasn’t sat down with Andy Rooney and told him to clean out his desk. He is, after all, an irrelevant old man who shows up at the end of every edition of “Sixty Minutes” to rant about things of no significance whatever.
