Big Hack Attack: Global Warming Exposed as 'Globaloney
UPDATE: Also see Noel Sheppard's post on the same topic, where more names are named. Two months ago, there was the "Dog Ate My Global Warming Data" episode. As noted at NewsBusters and at BizzyBlog (original source: National Review Online), we learned that important original information forming the underpinning of global warming alarmists' claims about the earth heating up has vanished. It is…
WaPo Buries Faulty GAO Data Story on Page A22; No Mention of Fake Cong
In what could easily be labeled the understatement of the week and probably of the entire month of November, the Washington Post today headlined a page A22 story today "GAO warns stimulus jobs data could contain inaccuracies."The print story is accompanied by a screenshot of Recovery.gov, which the caption beneath it notes "is the government's stimulus-tracking Web site." Of course, the biggest…
NYT Discovers That Wars Cost Money
Really, who knew? In what appears to be the opening round of a rearguard action against what leftists used to call "the good war" (only because they felt they needed to pretend they had pro-war bona fides to make their anti-Iraq War arguments look stronger to the general populace), the New York Times's Christopher Drew reported last Saturday for the Sunday print edition that sending more troops…
GQ Magazine: Barack Obama - Leader of the Year, Sarah Palin - Dangerou
GQ Magazine is telling a tale of two leaders. On the one side you have Barack Obama, champion of the left, leader of the mainstream media; GQ's Leader of the Year. On the other side you have Sarah Palin, pariah of the right, dangerous and poisonous to the American way according to an interview in the very same publication. Think I'm kidding? I couldn't make this garbage up. I'm not sure what…
Palin Derangement Syndrome Strikes Chicago Tribune
Today on its Web site and in its printed version, the Chicago Tribune reported on the large crowds greeting former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on her book tour. More than a thousand enthusiastic admirers greeted her Wednesday in Grand Rapids. Another thousand were already in line at 7:00 a.m. today for a book signing scheduled for 6:00 p.m. in Noblesville, Indiana. Hundreds more gathered in line…
Oh, So Now U.S. Soldiers Are 'A Pretty Good Photo-op'; Let's See How T
The Washington Post's Anne Kornblut (saved here in case her report is modified or disappears) captured a comment Obama made to U.S troops at Osan Air Base in South Korea while heading back to Washington after his Asian trip. I believe that the comment (bolded) could be seen as shining a less than flattering light on the president's mindset: Obama arrived on the base 3:19 p.m. local time (1 a.m.…
WaPo: McDonnell Should Denounce Robertson; Paper Praised Obama's Quasi
Three days ago, I argued that the Washington Post was ginning up a new campaign to discredit Republican governor-elect Bob McDonnell, having failed to sink his candidacy by its continual harping about his culturally conservative graduate's thesis at Pat Robertson's Regent University. Today the Post confirmed my suspicions as its editorial board officially weighed in, proclaiming Robertson -- who…
CNN Holds Focus Group on Palin...With No Palin Supporters
CNN's Rick Sanchez hosted a forum of 'average joes' yesterday in a sort of focus group on Sarah Palin. CNN did not feel, however, that it needed to invite any Palin supporters. Despite claims that the group accurately represented American opinion, its responses demonstrated a total disconnect from actual public sentiment.Sanchez, shown right in a file photo, asked the group to inform viewers of…
Leftist Blood-Curdling Scream Alert: CMPA Reports That Fox IS Fair and
Leftists including those in the White House who presumptively and obsessively attack Fox News will not be pleased with this. At Forbes (HT Hot Air Headlines), S. Robert Lichter of George Mason University's Center for Media and Public Affairs, asks the question, "Fox News: Fair And Balanced?" -- and answers in the affirmative. In the process, the GMU Professor of Communications also makes a…
USA Today Religion Blog: Is Bible-defacing 'An Acceptable Political St
Openly gay actor Ian McKellen recently told Details magazine that he proudly defaces Bibles left in hotel nightstands, ripping out pages containing verses which condemn homosexual behavior. USA Today's Leslie Miller picked up on this yesterday for the paper's "Faith & Reason" blog, after spying a blog post by colleague Barbara De Lollis in a November 16 post for her Hotel Check-In blog for…
Health Care Poll-Cooking: AP Headlines 'Tax the Rich' Finding, Ignores
That the Associated Press's basement-level poll-cooking and poll-reporting standards are quite low, and quite agenda-driven, might as well be an article of faith by this time. But the wire service-commissioned poll on health care, and Erica Warner's report on it (saved here for future reference, fair use, and discussion purposes; HT JammieWearingFool via Instapundit; the full poll report in PDF…
As They Pound Palin with Polls, Where Are the Gallup and Network Polls
As several networks run around with new ratify-our-liberal-bias polls insisting that Sarah Palin is completely unqualified to be president -- exquisitely timed to ruin her book tour and channel all their very obvious and partisan Palin-loathing -- where are the polls that are about 2009, as opposed to 2012? A scan of Gallup.com and Pollingreport.com suggests that neither Gallup nor any of the…
Twitter Ends List Service After Democratic Favoritism Surfaces
Twitter has announced that it will end a list service that blatantly favored Democratic politicians by attracting viewers to their profiles while excluding GOP officials from the service.The list service provided new Twitter users with lists of prominent message-posters they might like to follow. Watchdog groups discovered late last month that Democratic officials were prominently listed by the…
