Death Porn Media Victim Unexpectedly Negative About The Encounter

by Smitty Read the whole post from Mama by the Bay. A sample: But you know what I do remember? YOU were there. YOU, with your enormous video cameras. YOU, with your microphones poking into the bubble of grief that grew bigger as we waited for our parents to find us. YOU, with your horrible […]

‘Through a Plate Glass Window’: How Liberal Media De-Legitimize Dissent

Patterico did a post yesterday about the “Accuse the Accusers” strategy that I meant to link and discuss at length, but I didn’t get around to it because new outrages were piling up quicker than I could keep track.

After yesterday’s incident in which labor union activists tore down an Americans for Prosperity tent in Lansing and sucker-punched Stephen Crowder, this headline zoomed up the Memorandum aggregation: Breitbart Folks Appear to Fake Violence in Lansing Huh?

CJ links a 3,200-word post by Crooks and Liars contributor “Karoli” that is perhaps worthy of a point-by-point fisking, which I have neither […]

What? Terrorists Lie?

If they are willing to fire missiles randomly at innocent people, why would anyone expect the murderous thugs of Hamas to be scrupulously honest?
