ACORN-y: LAT Runs Op-Ed by ACORN Consultant Without Disclosing Relatio

Either LA Times op-ed writer Peter Dreier lives in a cave, or he's all too willing to spread falsehoods to defend an organization where he once served as a consultant. Perhaps it's a little of both. In that Thursday op-ed ("The war on ACORN; Conservatives are distorting and playing up the community organizing group's so-called scandals"), Dreier parroted ACORN CEO's now-discredited claims that "…

Clever Analogy: Cal Thomas Likens White House Attacks on Fox News to S

There's little doubt that at hand is an ongoing effort by the Obama White House to marginalize the Fox News Channel - especially after the administration attempted to leave Fox out of the White House pool last week.

Politico Cites Outdated Daily Kos Poll to 'Prove' Hoffman Lagging in N

This is a Politico congressional  race story that should have been labeled "WARNING: Read this story with a huge grain of salt." Why?
