VIDEO CLASSIC: ‘Pure Bias, Which You Demonstrate With Every Breath You Take’

Kerry Picket of The Washington Times has not yet identified the two dudes who hassled her at a press conference with D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, but the one dude (pictured above, right) let loose with a hissy rant of self-righteousness that will live in infamy: “Don’t pretend that you’re not biased. . . . You […]

A topic we blogged last week gets a deeper examination from Alanna Shaikh at Foreign Policy: The world was shocked by a report on CBS’s 60 Minutes this week that accused bestselling author and humanitarian Greg Mortenson of being a fraud.
