News Flash: @DonLemonCNN Hates You

And by “you,” of course, I mean the 60 million extremist homophobic anti-choice teabagging racists who didn’t vote for Obama: CNN anchor Don Lemon shouted down a conservative guest after pushing him to admit he should be “embarrassed” over certain protesters at Sunday’s Million Vet March. . . . “Ben, you have to be embarrassed […]

Why Is @Allahpundit Surprised?

“Unbelievable,” he says, that the White House press corps is so servile: [Obama’s press conference] ran for one hour and six minutes, with 12 different reporters being called on 00 although, notably, not Ed Henry of Fox News — and between them they couldn’t muster one question about the catastrophe that is Healthcare.gov or the […]

NY Times: Hey, Everybody Throw a Pity Party for This Stupid Dopehead Kid!

Maxwell Birnbaum: Dumber than an Alabama cop. It’s so unfair that he got caught! In March last year, a college freshman named Maxwell Birnbaum was riding in a van filled with friends from Austin, Tex., to a spring-break rental house in Gulf Shores, Ala. As they neared their destination, the police pulled the van over, […]

When ‘Balanced’ Journalism Is Bad

As what point does journalistic objectivity shade into the “who are we to judge” posture of moral relativism? Do journalists have an obligation to call evil by its right name? These questions crossed my mind as I watched an ABC  Good Morning America segment about Kaitlyn Hunt, who copped a plea Thursday on felony charges […]

The Real Crisis the Media Ignores

Headlines about the danger of a “government shutdown” are misleading, and this is not an accident. Democrats are playing politics, and their media allies are talking about a “crisis” for which they blame Republicans. The noise is intended to distract from what this is really about: It’s not about Ted Cruz and it’s not about […]

The Sorelian Myth of Matthew Shepard: Petty Criminals and Liberal Media Bias

Matthew Shepard’s killers Russell Henderson (left) and Aaron McKinney (right). When I was a freshman in college, Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood was an assigned reading and one of the lessons of the book — perhaps not a lesson the author intended, but one I’ve since seen replicated over and over — is how notorious […]

Mopery, With Intent to Lurk

WE'VE BEEN SUED BY DOCTOR EVIL! pic.twitter.com/K7evM3wIBn Hat-tip: @bet0001970 | @wjjhoge @AaronWorthing @ali @Kimberlinunmask — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) September 18, 2013 Mopery (noun) — “The action of committing a minor or petty offence, such as loitering, etc.; contravention of a trivial or hypothetical law, esp. when used as an excuse to harass or arrest a […]

Could the Creepy Orwellian Vibe at MSNBC Possibly Get Any Creepier?

Ken Shepherd at Newsbusters notices that MSNBC’s Facebook page is basically publishing pro-Obama propaganda memes:   Ace of Spades highlighted this, and I was tempted to write an entire post explaining how MSNBC has maneuvered itself into its current bizarre predicament as The Bomb Syria Now Network. I Watch MSNBC So You Don’t Have To™ […]
