Anatomy of a Left-Wing Smear: The Great Tea Party Conspiracy Busted
Playboy Magazine got its undies in a bundle over the nation wide Tea Party protests held last Friday that were inspired by CNBC's Rick Santelli's free market rant of February 19. As Noel Sheppard noted on March 1, the skin mag published a piece claiming that Santelli was part of a vast right-wing conspiracy to protest Obama's socialist policies. It turns out, however, that the story has been…
Vicki Iseman on CBS: NYT ‘Out of Control’ On False McCain Affair S
On Monday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Maggie Rodriguez spoke with lobbyist Vicki Iseman, who a year ago was named in a New York Times article implying she had an affair with then presidential candidate John McCain, an accusation Iseman flatly denied: "No, I did not. And four New York Times reporters, two editors, their entire institution, 200 people that they went out and sought to try and figure…
WaPo: Hey, Bailout Snivelers: Hush. You Don't Need It
Hush all you sniveling bailout hating troublemakers. Just shut up, you don't need the money. That is the message from Washington Post personal finance commentator Michelle Singletary. In his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Obama declared that he was going to "speak frankly and directly." That's what I want to do as well. I want to speak frankly and directly to the many…
Obama WH Secret Phone Conferences Bear Fruit With TV Media's Limbaugh
Back on January 29, we discussed the daily strategy phone call engineered by Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for friendly TV commentators and "reporters." Politico reported that Emanuel has a daily phone conference call with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, and CNN's James Carville and Paul Begala. With Rush Limbaugh's raucous CPAC address, as he termed it his "first address to the nation," we…
ABC News: Conservatives Are Biggest Porn Consumers
ABC News is excited about porn. At least excited by the "fact" that conservative and religious states have the highest levels of porn usage in the country. This, ABC says, is according to a study by Benjamin Edelman at Harvard Business School. Yes, it's another one of those dime-a-dozen studies.
ABC trumpets the bare "facts" in its February 28 piece titled, "Porn in the USA: Conservatives Are…
Lib Talker Malloy And a Racist Spoof: Jindal As Computer Tech from Ind
Our friends over at Radio Equalizer caught liberal radio talker Mike Malloy in a bit of hypocrisy. Malloy obviously thought his wife was a scream as she pretended to be Governor Bobby Jindal portraying him as an outsourced computer tech from India replete with cutsey faux Indian accent. Malloy's wife acted as if Jindal was the Simpson's character Apu, or something. Now, one cannot help but…
AP's Citi Deal Report Avoids 'Nationalization,' Plays 'Name That Party
There's an N-Word you apparently write at your own risk if you're in the establishment media. It's "nationalization." The Associated Press's Stephen Bernard, with the help of old reliables Jeannine Aversa and Martin Crutsinger, blew through almost 800 words (link is dynamic; 12:49 p.m. version is saved here for future reference, is now authored by Crutsinger, and is longer than what I originally…
SanFran Chron Columnist: Obama is 'Articulate, Zen-like, Brave,' There
Well, the San Francisco Chronicle's Mark Morford out does himself with sycophantic, hyperbole over his Obammessiah, today, February 27. He so revels in hero worship for The One, it's amazing that the White House doesn't feel compelled to get an order of protection against this creepy columnist.
No one in the Old Media is more sold on The One and less credible for his girlish crush than Morford.…
MSNBC Headline Focuses on 'Assault Rifle' in Killing -- No Other AP He
MSNBC took the occasion of a triple homicide on Chicago's south side to push its own anti-"assault rifle" meme on February 27 by including the words "assault rifle" in the headline of its story on the incident. No other media source, however, took this unusual step. So, here we have some old fashioned bias by MSNBC.
MSNBC's version of the story clumsily screams "Man charged in assault rifle…
AFP Criticizes Fox News for Obama-Critical Article -- Written by AP
Maybe it was just too easy to assume the worst of the news network most others in the press love to hate. Or perhaps it was deliberate.Whatever the reason, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) wire service's Wednesday story about reaction to Barack Obama's sort-of State of the Union Speech the previous evening spent four of its last five paragraphs pinning a report harshly critical of various claims in…
Lib Prof in WaPo: Southerners are Slavery-Loving Racists
Remember how during the run up to the election, all the left pundits and talking heads and their compatriots in the Old Media said that no white person would vote for Barack Obama? Well, despite the singular fact that Barack Obama convincingly won the popular vote in a country that sees a majority of its voters are white, the Old Media is still insisting that all southerners are slavery-loving,…
AP's Loven Describes Obama Speech -- 5-1/2 Hours Before It Began (See
Who knew that the Associated Press's Jennifer Loven has the ability to see into the future? That must be the case, because yesterday she told us what had happened at Barack Obama's sort-of State of the Union speech -- 5-1/2 hours before Obama uttered a word. As fellow NewsBuster Noel Sheppard is given to say, "I kid you not." Loven's AP story carried at Breitbart (HT to Abe Greenwald a Commentary…
CNN Claims Obama The New Ronald Reagan, Assigns 'Morning in America' t
Once again CNN goes over the top in its gobsmacked praise of its Obammessiah. This time appropriating Ronald Reagan's famous "morning in America" theme and assigning it to President Obama as a result of his not-the-state-of-the-union speech last night. In reality, Obama's speech was more like a moaning in America as opposed to that bright new morning that Reagan invoked.
Worse, Reagan's main…
