CNN Aggressively Defends Obama Against 'Smear' On His Indonesian Schoo

CNN heavily promoted an "exclusive" last night with stories by John Vause and Howard Kurtz rebutting an Insight magazine article on Barack Obama’s Indonesian schooling, that it occurred in a "madrassa," with the on-screen graphic "DEBUNKING A SMEAR." Conservatives shouldn't defend journalism from conservative media outlets if the story doesn't stand up -- if it carries a lot of shaky anonymous…

Anti-American and Anti-Semitic Cartoons Aired on Iranian Television

One of the common themes emanating from the media in recent years is that the world and the Middle East were much safer places before America invaded Iraq in March 2003. In their view, all of the geopolitical problems began that very month, and prior to that point, the earth was a happy place whose citizens all got along like two-year-olds in a sandbox.Unfortunately, this position hypocritically…

Hillary: 'I Have No Opinion' on Obama's Qualifications But 'I Have In

Hillary Blames Bad Image on 'Radio, Cable TV'; Swipes Edwards as 'On S

Gee, I wonder whom Hillary had in mind when she blamed her bad image on "radio and cable TV" this morning?

Fox News: Internet Store Tells Ordering US Soldier 'Pull Out of Iraq

One of my correspondents on my own site, Publius' Forum, has been trying to clear up a wretched email that was sent to one of our boys in Iraq refusing him service and telling him he should "pull out of Iraq". Fox News has picked up this story that I have been watching for a few days. I've been trying to ascertain if it was real or another example of an internet hoax -- sometimes it isn't easy…
