Unsurprising Media Consensus: ‘Shut Up About Benghazi, You Stupid Republicans’

Even before the six hours of congressional hearings began, CNN telegraphed its disinterest in the Benghazi “whistleblower” testimony by cutting away to Cleveland, Ohio, for what Wolf Blitzer falsely promised would be the first public statement by kidnapping victim Amanda Berry. What actually happened in Cleveland was a ginormous media scrum for a statement by […]

Muslim Student Association Doesn’t Get Credit for Soccer League Sponsorship

Kind of an interesting omission, don’t you think? Coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing has ignored admitted bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s connection to his college’s Muslim Student Association, a group that has close relations with both the Muslim Brotherhood and a local imam friendly with an al-Qaida operative.

The Internet Never Forgets

And by “the Internet,” of course, I mean, Ed Driscoll: Politico has numerous journalists who during the campaign in 2008 were on the infamous “JournoList,” which dubbed itself the “non-official campaign” for Obama’s election bid. The JournoList was created by Ezra Klein, who is now with the Washington Post. . . . Another self-admitted member of the JournoList is Ben Smith, who is […]

Why Is This Idiot on National TV?

The enduring mystery of Chris Matthews: Matthews insisted that he opposes intervention into Syria and said that America spends too much of its energy intervening in Arab nations. . . . “As long as Syrians are fighting Syrians, that’s better than us fighting Syrians,” Matthews continued. “If we don’t stop killing Arabs on international television […]
