Media's Lack of Curiosity About Killer of Muslims in North Carolina

Was the brutal murder of three Muslims in North Carolina this week a case of “random violence,” or were the three targeted because of their Muslim faith? And why, of all the murders committed across the country this week, did these three grab so much national media attention? The FBI has now joined the investigation.

Critical Information on Iranian Threats Presented in Washington

But if action were to be taken, the U.S. should provide tanker support to Israel as a number one priority, as well as electronics and suppression weapons and the “bunker buster.” Doing so might just send a message to Iran

Washington Times’ Bombshell Tapes Confirm Citizen Commission’s Findings on Benghazi

Mendacity is Still the State of the Union

Media were determined to shower President Obama with undeserved, fawning praise for simply showing up

Hypocritical New York Times Takes on Steven Emerson

When the New York Times sees a gaffe made on Fox News, it blasts the network in article after article, in this case at least three times, but when its own reporters make basic fact-checking mistakes, the paper's readers receive casual notice at the bottom of an article.

It’s the President’s Policies—Not His Team’s Vision

It's been a gradual process, but we welcome former New York Times columnist Leslie Gelb to the realization that President Barack Obama's leadership has been disastrous for this country. Last October Gelb wrote, "While Obama inherited rather than caused many of the world's current crises, his habitual complacency and passivity prevent him from mitigating or resolving them."

Paris—The Latest Example of Islamic Jihadist Terrorism

While much of the media are doing contortions trying to explain why the latest terrorist attacks are either home grown, lone wolf, or committed by alienated youth, this misses the point. And yes, we realize that most victims of Islamic jihadists are other Muslims. Just look at the massacre in Pakistan last month of 141 individuals, including children and teachers. Or the one this week by Boko Haram in Nigeria that may have led to the death of at least 2,000.

Benghazi Congressional Investigations Roll On, Barely

The latest hearing by the House Select Committee on Benghazi was held on December 10th, as Congress is about to head out the door for Christmas. The hearing was unfortunately still focused on the far-from-independent State Department Accountability Review Board. It’s time to move on. There is plenty to investigate. The critics of any further investigation are citing the latest report from Rep. Mike Rogers’ (R-MI) House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) to argue that the whole investigation should be shut down.

Still Debunking the Benghazi Debunkers

The Washington Post, like The New York Times, is intent on declaring the Benghazi scandal dead and buried, as suggested in this recent cartoon, and in this more recent editorial. The latest item these papers are hoping will provide the final stamp on the story is a recent report issued by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Left Tries to Blame Ebola Crisis on Republicans

A new ad put out by the left-wing Advocacy Project seeks to link Republican budget cuts with the spread of the Ebola virus, a shameful fear tactic that could take hold among a populace rightfully concerned about this epidemic. While media organizations such as Time Magazine and Real Clear Politics have reported on the existence of the video, all they did was cite the ad, not challenge the veracity of its information. In doing so, they're acting as vehicles for spreading its misinformation.
