NYT v. NYT: 'Splendid Provocation of a Book' vs. 'Book That Gives Fem
After dedicating nearly 10,000 words over two months to promoting feminist author Susan Faludi's bizarre screed "The Terror Dream: Fear and Fantasy in Post-9/11 America," the New York Times finally ran into some opposition: its own book reviewer. Clay Waters described the paper's September 27 interview with the author here. It was one of five articles the paper dedicated to the book, which argues…

In an interview on Tuesday's CBS "Early Show" with Sally Bedell Smith, author of the new book ""For Love of Politics: Bill and Hillary Clinton, the White House Years," co-host Harry Smith began the fluffy segment with this adoring intro (emphasis mine):Brad and Angelina, Charles and Diana, Burton and Taylor, and you can count Bill and Hillary's union as one of the most scrutinized marriages of…

AFP/Yahoo! News Don't Have a Clue
You may have seen one of the 19,000 mentions of the "Home-made helicopters from Northern Nigeria." Once the AFP article hit Yahoo! News, it crossed the blogosphere like wild fire. I highly doubt it is true, and if journalists knew the first thing about flight, they might not have been so easily duped. For starters, let's look at the measurements provided by the journalist. For a four-seater it is…

Vieira began the interview by…
Fallen Hero Marine's Grave Desecrated in Texas -- Will MSM Cover it
If this is how the memory of heroes gets treated in the U.S. today, then I wouldn't blame any U.S. soldier if they would stop caring about their own country -- not that any soldier has done so. I reported several months ago that a bunch of ignorant, ingrates in Colorado were trying to stop a memorial to a local hero from being erected where school kids could see the display. And now we have a…
