The Olbermann Rule

“Anything done by any Republican is a scandal, if I decide it is, because being a Republican is such an inherently shady choice to begin with, you just know they must be up to shenanigans.” Lefty journalists have operated by this principle for years now: “Hey, look, Joe Congressman (R-Somewhere) is on the banking committee and […]

We Feel Your Pain. Really. We Do.

Bwaaahahahahaha! Earlier that morning, CBS News executives and bureau chiefs, led by senior vice president Linda Mason, told their employees that 2009 had been a disastrous year in the ad market. They had no cable operation to buoy the sinking revenues. It’s not you, was the message, it’s us. Dozens of employees — including staff […]

How to Distort the News:
Jailbait Hooker Victimhood Edition

In Georgia, the state legislature is considering a law that would de-criminalize prostitution by minors. Hookers under age 16 would no longer be prosecuted, but would be treated as victims: The bill introduced by Sen.

Worse than Maddow and Olbermann

“David Shuster is the real sin at MSNBC. . . . He’s not a reporter. He’s a small-market shock jock they send to cover hurricanes and car-chases.” — Ace of Spades, talking about Shuster’s fight with Andrew Breitbart

‘I Forgot Chris Matthews Was White’

Raina Kelley of Newsweek had the blog post title of the day. She’s not the only MSM type noticing Vanilla McTingly’s awkward SOTU moment: Jay Bookman, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “I can sympathize with the risks of talking on national TV for a living, but . . . that’s disturbing. Not said with bad intent, perhaps, but strange that he […]

VIDEO: Chris Matthews Says, ‘You Know, I Forgot He Was Black Tonight’

However, his leg never stopped tingling all night: (Hat-tip: Activity Pit.) I’m pretty sure I saw Rachel Maddow silently mouthing, “Why is this buffoon on our network?” UPDATE: Just discovered this was “Quote of the Day” at Hot Air last night. This shows the utter randomness of my Web browsing method. I went to bed […]
