Abandoned Newspaper Buildings Mirrors Decline in Industry

For the Minneapolis Post, columnist John Reinan has a very interesting piece noting that many once powerful city newspapers are being forced by industry loses to abandon their palatial, decades old headquarters buildings.

Paul Ryan Has Already Been an Effective Obama Critic

One of the things that a vice presidential candidate has to be able to do and do well is be an attack dog for the ticket. The best VP candidates have both the credibility and the capability to severely criticize the other team. Even before being picked as his running mate by Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan had proven that he is that man.

Lefty Attack: Paul Ryan is a Follower of Ayn Rand

It was only minutes after news broke that Paul Ryan was Romney's likely pick for Vice President that leftwingers on Twitter began to needle Ryan as a follower of that mean ol' Ayn Rand, the famed objectivist philosopher of the middle of last century most famous for writing Atlas Shrugged and for being a proponent of what the left says is a less than compassionate philosophy on humanity.

Who is the ‘Cancer’? I Say it’s Obama

The ad that Obama put out saying Mitt Romney killed the wife of a Kansas City steel worker is so dishonest, even the left’s favorite cable channels, CNN and MSNBC, have been excoriating Obama over it. But Obama’s tactic here is to just lie through his teeth on purpose in the hopes that some handful of voters will be stupid enough to believe him or will catch Obama’s lie-filled ad but miss the many people pointing out the lies in his ad. Well, Crossroads America did a great job pointing out Obama’s lies here…

ABC’s Brian Ross: Sikh-Killer is Right-Wing

ABC News is at it again, misidentifying a mass murder as part of the "right" in America today. And, naturally, it was Brian Ross who did the dirty deed claiming the man responsible for killing several Sikh temple goers in Wisconsin is a member of the "right-wing."

For His Trajectory, Obama is Right, ‘He Didn’t Build That’

Much has been made of President Obama's "you didn't build that" comment made early in June at a campaign stop in Roanoke, Virginia. Comments range from the disingenuous claim that he only meant that successful folks didn't themselves go out and build roads and bridges to the thought that his comment revels his desires to credit the nanny state with all things good in the world. But one thing seems evident. From his perspective he’s right. Wealth and fame are easy and really don't require much work.

Lifetime’s Army Wives: Domestic Terrorist is Über Patriot?

Lifetime's Army Wives has often walked up close to anti-American plot lines without stepping too far over the line, but this weekend's episode crossed right over into the left's famous — and famously bogus — favorite storyline: turning patriotic Americans into villains.

CNN Cries Over Rebuke by Romney Aide in Poland

CNN wants us to feel sorry for it. More specifically CNN reporter Jim Acosta wants us to feel sorry for him. It was Acosta who said on a July 31 broadcast that the behavior of Romney's aide in Poland was "really inexcusable" and "sort of unprovoked."

Gov. Scott Walker Wows Crowd at AFP Summit

On Friday night Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin spoke before Americans For Prosperity's event Defending the American Dream Summit and the crowd was loving it, I have to say.

Up is Down: Media Ignores Romney’s Successes in Overseas Trip

What was the most striking thing about Mitt Romney's overseas trip this week? Says Powerline, the most striking thing is the "hypercritical" coverage given the trip by the American press. In what could only be seen by an unbiased person as a success, Romney's trip has instead been reported as a gaffe-filled mess.

CNN Plays ‘Stupid Girl’ To Intro Piece on Sarah Palin

Apparently they wish they hadn't done it now, but CNN must have thought it was a hilarious thing to play a song by singer Pink titled Stupid Girl as it introduced a report on Sarah Palin's support of Chick-Fil-A on its July 29 Sunday morning program.

Media Ignores Warren Plagiarizing, Went Nuts Over Claims of Scott Brown’s

Michael Patrick Leahy detailed yet another twist to Elizabeth "Faux-Cahontis" Warren's tale of fake American Indian claims. Apparently, in 1984, Warren supplied several "old family recipes" to the "Pow Wow Chow cookbook," edited by her cousin. Turns out these "family recipes" where just lifted from various cookbooks and newspaper articles of the era. She appears to have plagiarized them.

C.S. Monitor Wonders if Every Romney Campaign Ad is ‘Racist’

The Christian Science Monitor apparently thought it was doing the country a public service by laying out rules by which to judge whether or not a Mitt Romney ad is "racist," but in its five questions to ask yourself about Mitt Romney's ads, the magazine essentially laid out criteria that makes any ad Romney has done or even could do into a racist attack on Barack Obama.

Even TIME Says Mayors Emanuel and Menino Wronging Chick-Fil-A

It's a "First Amendment buzzsaw,"that the mayors of Chicago and Boston have walked into over misuse of their powers in denying Chick-Fil-A the right to open and operate their fast food stores in the two cities. This is from TIME, yet. And if even TIME realizes that the Democrats are misusing their powers, well, let's just say it's a major violation of Chick-Fil-A's free speech plain and simple.

Media Loves Romney Brit ‘Gaffes,’ Forgets All About Obama’s

All day Wednesday the Old Media establishment was going gaga over the “gaffes” that presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney supposedly committed on his overseas tour. But all the many gaffes Obama committed with our allies — especially the Brits — were conveniently absent from any of the coverage.

The Liberal Media’s History of Falsely Blaming Conservatives for Massacres

The media does not “report,” it invents the “news.” Want a few examples? Let's go to the tape…

ABC’s Kimmel Calls Palin ‘Crazy Moose Lady’

From the mouth of Jimmy Kimmel, the late night comedian that said it was impossible to make fun of President Obama because he was too "cool" comes the hilarity that Sarah Palin is a "crazy moose lady." This was so hilarious that CBS This Morning had to replay it hours later on its morning show.

Roger Ebert Tries to Exploit Colorado Crime for Gun Control Purposes’

Jumping on the gun-ban band wagon and to take political advantage of the murders in Colorado, film critic Roger Ebert immediately ran to his keyboard to decry our "insane" gun laws in an Op Ed in the New York Times. His goal was to invalidate concealed carry laws by noting that no one in the theater shot back at the murderer in black. But, Ebert misses an important point. The Cinemark theater chain has a "gun-free zone" policy.

If You Watch Fox News, Obama Says You’re ‘Stubborn’

At a campaign stop in Virginia on July 6, Obama thought it would be funny to take a shot at Fox News.

More from President Obama, the most negative campaigner in recent presidential campaign history. This time Obama is name calling Fox News fans, saying they are "stubborn" for having the temerity to frequent the most watched cable news station on the air.

Hey, Media, The House Did NOT Vote to Repeal Obamacare 33 Times

By the way, we missed this last week when the House voted to repeal Obamacare, but you may recall that the Old Media went bonkers to tell everyone that the July 11 vote was the "33rd time the Republicans voted to repeal Obamacre." Only there is a little problem with that claim. It isn't true.
