NBC's Eco-Activism Tackles Football
There's nowhere to hide from NBC's omnipresent "Green Week," of which NB readers are sure to be hearing plenty in coming days. NBC's eco-activism even made its way into what you'd normally hope would be a refuge from MSM politics: football."Green Week" reared its head during NBC's broadcast of last night's NFL game between Dallas and Philadelphia, played in the City of Brotherly Love.
New Eagles Album: Slamming America Throughout
With Update- Welcome Wonkette Readers
The new album from The Eagles, Long Road Out of Eden, is just one long, sustained attack on the integrity of the United States and is as bad as any loud-mouthed Dixie Chicks diatribe. With songs prosaically about Global Warming and the evil American “empire,” seemingly the only one of the band who just wanted to entertain the fans was Joe Walsh, the others…
The Singing Revolution Celebrates Freedom
How many of us knew that Estonia, one of the smallest countries on the face of this earth, is responsible for one of the most extraordinary, and certainly the most unique revolutions in modern history? How many of us knew that this tiny Baltic nation defeated the Soviet Union – with a song?
NYT’s Love Letter to Hugo Chavez and Oil Socialism – Or Is It
New York Times Magazine published a rather fascinating article Sunday about the rise of nationalized oil throughout the world. Predictably, it initially came off as a love letter to Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and his new brand of oil socialism. Yet, if you dig deeper - unfortunately offshore deeper in a very lengthy piece - author Tina Rosenberg ended up rather dissatisfied with "petrocracy," and,…
Global Warming Tutorial Media Should be Required to Watch
While media members fawn over Hollywood productions about manmade global warming such as Al Gore's schlockumentary "An Inconvenient Truth" and Leonardo DiCaprio's box office disaster "The Eleventh Hour," they should take time out of their busy propagandist schedules to view a lecture that Australian research professor Bob Carter recently gave. In fact, it should be required viewing for any…
Chris Matthews Panel Stocked With Liberals Piles on Hillary
Hillary's horrible Halloween week from hell got worse Sunday when Chris Matthews and his liberal-stocked panel piled on the Junior Senator from New York fortifying the recent media meme that the Clinton in 2008 inevitability has suddenly become a tad less inevitable. Adding insult to injury, when you're a Democrat candidate, and press members like Norah O'Donnell of MSNBC, Richard Stengel of…
Middle School Cancels ‘Cross-Dressing’ Day, Media Surprisingly Mum
If a middle school in Northern California had on its events schedule a cross-dressing, gender-shift day encouraging children to attire themselves as a member of the opposite sex, wouldn't you expect liberal media members across the fruited plain to be all over the story? Yet, according to Google News and LexisNexis searches, not one press outlet, including those near the situation in California…
NYT Blames Pakistani State of Emergency on Bush
One of the truly great ironies emanating from secular media members is the power they increasingly bestow upon George W. Bush to the point of making him Godlike. After all, in the past couple of years, the press have depicted this President as being responsible for hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, droughts, floods, global warming, and peace - or lack thereof - anywhere on the face of the planet…
Open Thread
For general debate and discussion. Possible talking point: Did you set your clock back this morning, and, maybe more important, is it time to get rid of this silly, semi-annual time shift?
Biden's Verbal Gaffes 'OK' Because of His 'Civil Record
In an article that is otherwise fairly balanced, Delaware's biggest daily, the Wilmington News Journal, proclaims in a headline today that senior Senator Joe Biden has a "Tangled tongue, but a civil record," with the sub-header "Biden's bloopers don't jibe with his votes." Sen. Joe Biden sees black supporters as his base and maintains a stellar voting record with the NAACP. But he's also gotten…
