Media Bias

HuffPo to fault Obama campaign for Super PAC coordination?
2012-02-09 08:41:00
Do wonder if the Huffington Post’s Sam Stein is going to get upset about the Obama campaign’s decision to enlist Superpacs in its reelection efforts.  After all, the call is coming from the campaign itself. Tuesday night, after Rick Santorum swept the beauty contests in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri, he caught “Foster Freiss, the main ...
Americans frustrated that Obama can?t force Congress to do his will?
2012-02-07 08:00:00
Wonder how Matt Lauer and his colleagues in the legacy media would have reacted had George W. Bush expressed a similar frustration: I think this is the nature of being President. What’s frustrated people is that I have not been able to force Congress to implement every aspect of what I said in 2008. Well, ...
Matt Lauer feeds Obama his talking points
2012-02-07 04:18:00
One wonders what the president’s image would be if the legacy media weren’t covering for him.  ”The broadcast network evening and morning” newscasts  have yet to cover the administration’s plan to force Catholic charities and hospitals “to cover sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs and contraception without a co-pay” in their health insurance plans. And lthough “NBC News did ...
Do NYT editors understand meaning of liberty?
2012-02-03 21:48:00
Yesterday, James Taranto linked this excerpt from a New York Times editorial: Even in his victory speech Tuesday night, Mr. Romney hinted darkly at the tone of the campaign to come. He accused President Obama of ordering “religious organizations to violate their conscience” and vowed to defend religious liberty. It was a reference to the ...
Obama: The Man WIthout a Plan reprise
2012-01-30 01:18:00
Writing about the president’s State of the Union address last week, Mark Steyn quipped that “the Union’s state ? its unprecedented world-record brokeness ? was not even mentioned”: If, as I was, you happened to be stuck at Gate 27 at one of the many U.S. airports laboring under the misapprehension that pumping CNN at ...
So AOL thinks Fidel Castro?s views on GOP are newsworthy?
2012-01-26 16:45:00
Caught this last night on their home page: UPDATE: It’s not just AOL; NYT quotes “retired Cuban leader” Castro.  What is it with liberal journalists who quote this tyrant as if he is some wise old man?  (Could he be his views of the GOP correspond with their own?)
If taxing the rich is so important to President Obama . . .
2012-01-26 06:48:00
. . . why didn’t he submit legislation to the 111th Congress when the Democrats had a majority in the House and a super-duper majority int he Senate (filibuster-proof for six months)? And why aren’t our friends in the legacy media asking him about this oversight? Question came to mind as I was reading Rush’s ...
Barack Milhous Obama
2012-01-26 06:30:00
“Can you imagine,” Hugh Hewitt asks, “if George Bush had told Karl Rove to get Howard Dean nominated and to spend millions to do so?” The blogger cites a story in the Orlando Sentinel which would have gotten national attention had the incumbent’s much maligned predecessor done just that: The Democrats are targeting Mitt Romney as ...
Where is the conservative candidate at this conservative moment?
2012-01-22 16:54:00
Polls show considerable popular dissatisfaction with the president’s policies, particularly his big-government initiatives like Obamacare.  They also show support for the broad conservative policies which have defined the GOP at least since Ronald Reagan’s election in 1980.  The best attempts of the media notwithstanding, conservative ideas are ascendant. At the same time, the incumbent struggles ...
Reflections on Newt?s big South Carolina victory
2012-01-22 09:40:00
As you can probably guess, I’m not as sanguine about Newt’s victory in South Carolina as is Bruce.  I think the most important issue in this election is defeating Barack Obama and replacing him with a president committed to making the kinds of reforms the Democrat has assiduously avoided for the past three years.   ...
Time?s (Liberal) World
2012-01-21 06:02:00
Can you imagine a periodical billed as a news magazine with a cover interview with a Republican leader conducted by a man who advised said leader? Now of the Obama apologists, Fareed Zakaria perhaps has the broadest world view — and does occasionally show respect for conservative interlocutors and understanding of conservative ideas.  But, aware ...
Newt surging* because he?s standing up to legacy media
2012-01-20 18:18:00
I have yet to watch a single debate, learning about them only through blog reports, on-line transcripts and Youtube clips. I don’t think the format is conducive to a serious discussion of the issues and believe you can learn more about a candidate by considering his record and reviewing his platform. Having interned for Newt, ...
Distraction Journalism
2012-01-19 18:48:00
Some supposedly well-informed writers attempt, at the dawn of this election year, with an apparent straight face, contend that the incumbent president “as yet has not had a single significant scandal to his name.”  They get away with this because our supposedly even-handed legacy media choose not to report stories which, if they had occurred ...
The GOP?s perception problem
2012-01-19 00:45:00
Yesterday on Facebook, a friend posted this: Newt Gingrich has an issue with hypothetical Muslim candidates who would not respect other religions and push Shariah agendas yet Republicans do just that with fundamentalist Christianity and their religious agendas. Emphasis added.  She’s not the first intelligent individual to have made such an observation.  Relating my experience ...
Last night?s debate shows legacy media eager to make Republican presidentia
2012-01-08 21:54:00
Sometimes in their commentary, our readers express points important enough to merit a post of their own.  Our loyal reader and regular commenter V the K did just that in a comment to my recent post on Newt Gingrich: Why was so much time even put to the question of gay marriage last night? Really? ...
A regal action for a Republican, a welcome credo for a Democrat
2012-01-06 00:09:00
In one of Best of the Web’s frequent feature, “Two Papers in One,” James Taranto delights in the inconsistent editorial stances in the nation’s one time paper of record  Today, he notes how the Times editors shifted their stands on recess appointments. Back in 2006, when the president made recess appointments, they manifested a “regal ...
Further Thoughts on Bachmann Withdrawal
2012-01-05 04:59:00
Those who have followed this blog have observed that while Bruce and I have very different blogging styles, we (very) often have quite similar points of view, he perhaps a tad more polemical than I, I perhaps a tad more philosophical than he. Now, to be sure, he eagerly embraced Herman Cain’s candidacy while I ...
Parting Thoughts on Michele Bachmann
2012-01-04 21:34:00
Let me get this out of the way first:  I am no fan of Rep. Bachmann.  I would not vote for her and I believe her social views are out of the mainstream of American conservatism, not to mention mainstream America. HOWEVER…. she has been a steady voice of reason on the disaster of Obamacare ...
972 days (since Democratic Senate passed a budget)
2011-12-28 00:18:00
Every time your Democratic friends and interlocutors accuse the House Republicans of being an obstructionist “do-nothing” chamber of Congress, remind them of this fact: as of today, December 27, 2011, it has been 972 days since Senate Democrats passed a a budget. And during that nearly three-year period, the president’s party enjoyed a supermajority in ...
WaPo runs Solyndra story on day after Christmas
2011-12-26 18:00:00
The left-leaning daily in our nation’s capital is finally reporting on an Obama administration scandal, but do wonder if they are doing so deliberately on a day when most people aren’t paying much attention to the news. At least they do report how “infused” the green technology program was “at every level“: Meant to create ...
The Protestor as Person of the Year; It?s His Ideology, Stupid
2011-12-20 00:01:00
In his post last week on Time magazine’s decision to name the Protestor as its “Person of the Year,” Ed Morrissey thought the magazine a “little late to ‘the protester’ story in terms of real impact“: In 2009, Time had the same opportunity to pick ?the protester? when the protests were the Tea Party and ...
Hiding Israel?s record on gays behind the ?pinkwashing? slogan
2011-12-19 01:36:00
In a letter to the New York Times explaining why Israeli Prime Minister Binnyamin Netanyahu “respectfully declined? to write an op-ed piece for the old gray lady, his senior advisor Ron Dermer provides his correspondent with many examples of the paper’s bias, including this one: Yet instead of trying to balance these views with a ...
LA Times coos over Occupy version of Christmas Carol
2011-12-19 00:54:00
To see just one reason why fewer and fewer right-of-center Angelenos subscribe to the Los Angeles Times, take a gander at this front page puff piece on a left-wing playwright’s revisioning of Charles Dickens’s Christmas Carol. The story is not even about a play that has been produced, but merely about a script a man has ...
When spending cuts aren?t real and tax hikes don?t reduce the deficit
2011-12-18 01:21:00
On Thursday, Glenn Reynolds linked a post from Daniel Mitchell which, like most posts from that libertarian scholar, merit your attention.  Mitchell corrected a New York Times reporter eager to peddle the notion of horrible, no good, very bad Republicans unwilling to raise taxes, reminding her that the “only budget agreement that actually produced a ...
Memo to MSM:Examine charges on left-wing blogs before reporting them as fac
2011-12-17 00:17:00
On Tuesday, several left-of-center Facebook friends linked posts from a left-wing blog contending that Mitt Romney had adopted a Ku Klux Klan slogan to guide his presidential campaign.  Quickly as charges leveled against conservatives and Republicans on such blogs are wont to do, that allegation was soon repeated unexamined on such news outlets as The Washington ...
What is Obama?s plan to fix Social Security?
2011-12-16 00:36:00
Maybe the editors at the AOL/Huffington Post aren’t quite the Obama shills we think them to be. Now, to be sure the “news” headlines on their main page tend to promote stories favorable to the administration, like this one linked today and critical of conservatives. That said, their leading story this morning points to one ...
Amanpour out at ABC?s ?This Week,? returning to CNN
2011-12-14 00:57:00
Had been working on a post on sex differences, but my mind is jut not in a writing mood right now.  So, I’ll do a quick post on the departure from ABC News’s “This Week” of one of the most biased reporters in broadcast journalism: Christiane Amanpour will soon step down as host of ABC’s ...
More demagoguery from the divider
2011-12-12 21:18:00
Stacy McCain watched “clips of Steve Kroft?s 60 Minutes interview with President Obama” so you don’t have to.  That caustic blogger quoted the Democrat saying this: If I can?t get Republicans to move, partly because they?ve made a political, strategic decision that says, ?Anything Obama?s for, we?re against, because that?s our best chance of winning an ...
The Do-Nothing Democratic Senate
2011-12-11 08:40:00
“The junior senator from Texas,” James Taranto wrote in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, “is decidedly unenthusiastic about the current state of the institution he joined nine years ago”: “It’s not what I would call the world’s greatest deliberative body now,” John Cornyn, a Republican, says on a recent visit to the Journal. “The Senate has ...
The Attorney General?s not a crook; he?s just incompetent
2011-12-09 18:57:00
A week ago, Bruce posted a piece suggesting that the Fast and Furious scandal was worse than Watergate.  Perhaps, it’s not that bad, not a question of administration malfeasance, but just one of bureaucratic incompetence. Yesterday, Republicans grilled Attorney General Eric Holder when the Democrat testified before the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee.  He might ...
Um, Arianna, Jon Corzine is the former Democratic Governor of New Jersey
2011-12-08 19:54:00
Take a gander of how AOL heads the story on former Democratic New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine’s congressional testimony: In the article, there’s nary a word about the failed CEO”s Democratic affiliation nor his service as governor of the Garden State, nor any mention of his advisory role in the Obama administration. Guess in their ...
Distracting us from Obama?s dismal economic record
2011-12-07 11:16:00
Commenting to my post about a lesbian mother dispatching her son to tell a presidential candidate that she (his mother) “doesn’t need fixing,” Naamloos offers: With the economic situation as it is, I?m not sure why Michele Bachmann?s views on homosexuality are relevant. I don?t agree with them, but I do generally agree with her fiscal/economic ...
Michele Bachmann?s silence & a lesbian mother?s cowardice
2011-12-07 01:48:00
Based upon my experience as an uncle, having seen (or currently witnessing) eight nephews pass through the late single-digit stage, if an 8-year-old boy were to, of his own accord, ask a question of a presidential candidate, he might ask him to name his favorite superhero or to discuss the various characters in Star Wars. ...
?Fast & Furious? ? Now MUCH Worse Than Watergate
2011-12-02 03:45:00
Let’s imagine that George W. Bush’s Department of Justice had a program going that funneled weapons to the drug cartels of Mexico and then that directly to the murder of a US Border Patrol Agent. I have no doubt that the network news would be on full-scale nuke alert and heads would be rolling, including ...
Wonder when AOL plans to feature story on Obama record
2011-11-30 18:36:00
From one of the revolving lists of headlines this morning on AOL (“news” content provided by the Huffington Post): You’d think stories about a federal government program selling guns to Mexican druglords (without informing the Mexican government or putting tracking devices on the firearms) would be just a tad more newsworthy than a Republican presidential ...
Obama record in a nutshell
2011-11-29 16:10:00
Last night before bed, I caught these headlines on Yahoo! Note particularly the last one: Seems the AP is eager to tie the GOP to the Solyndra scandal, even though its reporter found no evidence that the aide in question Gary Andres, staff director of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, had ever “worked on ...
Did Washington Post ever look for outlandish/incorrect predictions and quot
2011-11-29 07:04:00
Apologies for the slow blogging.  Am spending time with some good Mormon friends in Utah.  And, no, they’re not trying to “cure” me.  They know I’m gay and have made me very welcome in their home, even allowing me to adopt their children as my niece as nephews.  Indeed, they have made me feel far ...
Tea Partiers Helping Undermine ?Economic Sabotage? Narrative
2011-11-27 18:00:00
Refusing to understand conservative objections to the president’s economic policies and reluctant to acknowledge the failures of said policies, Democrats  – and their allies in the mainstream media — have been peddling the notion that Republicans are engaged in economic sabotage, obstructing Democratic legislation in order to forestall an economic recovery and so prevent Barack ...
NYT: Choosing to cover Mitt Romney?s hair rather than report Obama?s scand
2011-11-26 00:54:00
Do wonder how much effort our friends at the New York Times have put into investigating the various scandals swirling about the Obama administration, you know, like politicized hiring at the Justice Department, steering subsidies and loan guarantees to “green” companies with Democratic connections, selling guns to Mexican drug lords . . . . Maybe ...
Reuters: Socialists led Spain from boom to bust
2011-11-21 00:30:00
No wonder our media are so eager to downplay the Spanish election: Voters vented their rage on the Socialists, who led the country from boom to bust in seven years in charge. With 5 million people out of work, the European Union’s highest jobless rate, Spain is heading into its second recession in four years. ...
Spain?s Socialists Ousted in Landslide; Doesn?t Make AOL/Yahoo! Headlines
2011-11-20 23:36:00
Seems Instapundit is a better source for news than either AOL or Yahoo!  Glenn reports that “SPAIN?S SOCIALISTS lose in a landslide. Spanish voters, tired of war, got rid of Aznar and brought in people promising hope and change. Now they?re broke, and the Socialists are out.” Now, this seems to be pretty big news.  A ...
AOL/HuffPo Continues to Flack For Obama
2011-11-20 23:17:00
Can someone please tell me how it’s news when the president’s former Chief of Staff attacks a Republican presidential candidate. Yet on its home page, AOL treats us not just to one, but two headlines related to Rahm Emanuel’s attack on Mitt Romney. Nice to see AOL repeating an administration talking point.
Why is ABC even asking Bill Maher to offer political commentary?
2011-11-17 09:27:00
Lately, we’ve experienced many examples of media bias, the discrepancy in the cover of #OWS and the Tea Parties, the focus on allegations against a Republican presidential candidate while downplaying scandalous activity of a Democratic president’s administration, an absence of scrutiny of Democrats’ conflicts of interest. And here’s yet another example, a man known for ...
Tell me again, what is Obama?s plan to deal with the debt?
2011-11-17 01:48:00
Memeorandum didn’t give this story as much attention as they did to the “$1.6 million and $1.8 million” Republican New Gingrich received “in consulting fees” from Freddie Mac, one of the government-sponsored enterprise’s at the heart of the nation’s financial meltdown in 2008, so you might have missed the news that today, the federal debt ...
Are only surging Republican candidates subject to scrutiny?
2011-11-17 00:57:00
If I had access to Lexis/Nexis, I would love to do a search for how the media covered Barack Obama four years ago as he began his surge in polls (of candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination”. As he emerged as the leading “non-Hillary” candidate, did scrutiny of his record increase? When Michele Bachmann ...
Is objectivity of major American dailies a ?sham??
2011-11-15 18:37:00
“I don?t,” Ben Howe writes in Big Journalism, “read the New York Times or the Chicago Tribune“: For that matter, I don?t read the closest newspaper to my home, the Charlotte Observer.  I don?t read these rags for a simple reason: I find that the objectivity that is claimed within their pages is a sham.  There are ...
Debates show our media save scrutiny for Republicans(sending softballs to D
2011-11-13 19:36:00
“It would be wonderful,” an Olympian observer wrote on Friday . . . to see President Obama grilled as the Republicans were Wednesday night in Michigan.What exactly will you cut in the entitlement programs? How will you solve the foreclosure crisis? And we’d like you to answer in 30 seconds while we look at you ...
OccupyDenver Invades Conservative Blogger Conclave, Fails to Bring Canine L
2011-11-12 00:40:00
Remember all those stories we read in those dark days that dominated the first decade of this century about how the president and his evil minions were seeking to silence dissent? And in recent years, remember all those images of Tea Party protesters trying to block access to or invade liberal confabs?  Remember how Tea ...
Building on that explanation of media?s Cain obsession
2011-11-11 19:57:00
It’s not just CNN.  Glenn Reynolds sums it up: THE SOLYNDRA-OBAMA TIES: ?While everyone else in the political universe is chasing down rumors about Herman Cain making women uncomfortable, Fox News got down on the real scandal: President Obama giving a half-billion dollars of public money to a major campaign donor.? Wonder how many stories ...
Cain Accuser: Serial Frivolous Complaint Filer?
2011-11-10 18:00:00
Remember how Democrats attempted to discredit Paula Jones when she leveled accusations of sexual harassment against the then-sitting President of the United States?  Of course, they based their descriptions of Clinton’s accuser not on the facts of her life, but on prejudices against lower middle class white women.  ”Drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer ...
