The NY Times' PC Christmas -- Imagine There’s No Religion, But Globa
Imagine there's no religion, it's easy for The New York Times to do -- even in a Christmas Day editorial that somehow forgets that Christmas is about Christ's birth. In fact, the NYT decided that this Christmas was its opportunity to wallow in worse-than-ever sentiments and to bemoan that this year's Christmas isn't as good as it used to be. Oh, they tried to dress it up a bit by saying it is…
MSN Says Ridiculing Palin Is the Top TV Moment of
MSN TV reporter, Dave Lake, has decided in his infinite wisdom that Tina Fey ridiculing Governor Sarah Palin is the top TV moment from the 2008 TV season. Aren't you surprised that making fun of Sarah Palin has become the top TV moment? I mean, it's incredible that the liberal media has decided that out of the entire TV season, this is the top moment! I'm SHOCKED, to say the least. (Don't worry…
Christmas With the Nazis: WWII Films Proliferate at Year's End
For most people, late December conjures up images of Christmas trees, religious services, and year-end recaps. That is not the case in Hollywood, however, where Christmastime seems to be Nazi time. That is especially true this year where six World War II films are being released almost simultaneously.AP reporter Sandy Cohen details this strange phenomenon and delves a bit into its origins:
What Time of Year Is It? (Year 4, Part
In 2005, I sensed that journalists in general prefer to call this time of the year in commerce that of “holiday shopping” instead of “Christmas shopping,” but that when it came to people losing their jobs, they preferred to describe layoffs as relating to “Christmas.” My instincts have been proven correct during the past three years. So did anything change in 2008? Not that much, but slightly in…
Kwanzaa Created by a Rapist and Torturer
Each year, with the onset of Christmas, we are treated to another gauzy, fluff piece about how great Kwanzaa is by yet another PC spewing newspaper columnist. This year, among many others, we find aggrandizement such as the Progressive's "Kwanzaa is more relevant than ever in recession," the Chattanooga Times Free Press with their titled, "Common ground," or the one from the Providence Journal…
Children's Book Depicts Santa Fighting Global Warming
'Tis the season ... to be green. No, not even the traditions of Christmas are immune to the efforts of global warming activism. No, it's not Al Gore's, "How Greenhouse Gases Stole Christmas," but a children's story is pushing a similar green agenda.

New Scientist Names Liberal Wingnut a ‘Science Hero’ of
It would seem New Scientist magazine recently decided to sacrifice credibility in the field of research. Journalistic research, anyway. In their recent article titled, "Science heroes and villains of 2008," New Scientist has taken the liberty of naming some noteworthy individuals in the field. As their opening salvo states (emphasis mine): The collective brain of New Scientist has come up…
Euro Journo Sides With Muslim Hate Over BDS Shoe Toss
Mitch Potter of the Toronto Star is the quintessential example of a self-hating European, I must say. He is a journalist that sides with those who advocate the destruction of his own culture just so he can puff himself up that he "gets it" and he does this willingly ala the useful idiots of old. In his latest pretense at journalism, Potter takes such glee indulging his Bush derangement syndrome…
NYT's City Editor Rips Into 'It's a Wonderful Life'; A Rare Window Int
On December 18, in an item that appeared on Page C1 of its December 19 print edition (the graphic at the right is a scaled-down version of what appears at the top of the online version), the New York Times's Wendell Jamieson provided us his perspective on what has became a Christmas staple, Frank Capra Jr.'s "It's a Wonderful Life." I would suggest that the piece reveals a lot more about the…
Matthews: Jeremiah Wright on 'Left,' Rick Warren 'Far Right
Surely no one would view Rev. Jeremiah Wright as closer to the centerpoint of American politics than Pastor Rick Warren, right? Wrong. Here's Chris Matthews on this evening's Hardball.CHRIS MATTHEWS: It seems like Barack Obama, as much as seems to inspire people, including me, has a problem with pastors. I don't know what it is.

Obama's Other Inaugural Preacher Supports Gay Clergy, Same-sex Marriag
While the media are fixated on the ire gay activists are directing at the president-elect for selecting Prop 8 proponent Rick Warren to give the invocation at the Obama inaugural, I've noticed little attention given to the fact that the man selected to give the benediction is pretty much the polar opposite of Warren on some key doctrinal matters related to homosexuality.Rev. Joseph Lowery, a…
CBS’s Smith: Gay Marriage ‘A Serious Civil Rights Issue

Later Smith brought on Dr. Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist Church of Dallas and David Corn of…
Is CNN Pushing Kids to Ask For a Salary for First Lady Michelle
**VIDEO below fold**
CNN has a segment that they call "CNN Student News" that is supposed to highlight the news of the day for the kiddie set. Pursuant to that, in a December 15 segment, CNN floats a question asking if Michelle Obama (or any First Lady) should get a government salary just for being First Lady?
