Our Criminal Media

Michelle Malkin rips into them good here: With great fanfare and elite media sympathy, Jose Antonio Vargas publicly declared himself an “undocumented immigrant” this week. . . .

O.J. Confesses … to Oprah?

Evidently he told one of her producers in a jailhouse interview that, indeed, he killed his ex-wife Nichole and her friend Ron Goldman. We already knew he did it.
