Eleanor Clift: White Male Reagan Dems Are Racist, Sexist
Eleanor Clift's latest online column for Newsweek assumes that white male "Reagan Democrats" are racist and sexist, or at least they're sickened by appeals by too much focus on the "rights" of blacks and women.Whether the term is Reagan Democrats or NASCAR dads, they're euphemisms for the white men who deserted a party they thought focused too much on the rights of blacks and women. Isn't that a…
LAT Praises Anti-Catholic 'Documentary' Based On Hoax
A new movie called "Bloodline" purports itself to be a documentary that claims to have found evidence that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and their "bloodline" has been kept secret by the Catholic Church and a group called the "Priory of Sion." (NB's Scott Whitlock and Mark Finkelstein have written on this as well.)But the truth is that the film's premise is based on a complete fabrication…

WSJ Writers Note Absence of Recession; AP's Crutsinger Still Holds Out
Someone forgot to tell the Wall Street Journal's Kelly Evans and Justin Lahart, carried here at the Arizona Republic, that they're supposed to portray the economy in a bad light whenever and wherever possible. I'll get to the pair's report later. That "bad light" directive seems seared into the minds of the Associated Press's Martin Crutsinger and his AP colleagues, as they continue to "cling to…

Pentagon Rebuts AFP Claim Military Recruiters Prey on Poor, Uneducated
Hasn't the MSM learned anything from the unfortunate episodes of John "stuck in Iraq" Kerry and Stephen "if you don't read you've got the Army" King? Apparently not. Once again, the liberal media, this time in the form of the AFP, has perpetrated the canard that the our military is the last resort of the poor and uneducated. An AFP article of May 16 reported the story of Army sergeant Matthis…
Reuters: Dem Presidential Campaign Leads U.N. to Investigate Racism in
Imagine for a moment the race card had been used during the Republican presidential nomination process, and the United Nations was sending an envoy to investigate racism in America. Do you think the media would report it?Probably 24 hours a day, seven days a week until every person in the country had heard about it, right?Well, the U.N. announced on Friday that it is sending its "Special…

Babington trumpeted in the May 10 dispatch: “There's ample evidence that Obama is something special…

You have to wonder how this CNN headline and story about the earthquake in China got out, as it includes a shocking statistic (400 million births "prevented") rarely seen in the West (bold is mine): Parents' losses compounded by China's one-child policy Li Yunxia wipes away tears as rescue crews dig through the ruins of a kindergarten class that has buried her only child -- a 5-year-old boy.…
Sen. Ted Kennedy Rushed to Hospital
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Ma.) has been rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston as reported by CNN minutes ago: A well-informed Democratic source in Massachusetts said the 76-year-old senator had "symptoms of a stroke" at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port.

Hillary Blames Media for Her Campaign Woes
Although it's been a constant theme of the Clinton campaign to accuse the media for being in the tank for her Democrat presidential opponent, it is nonetheless deliciously ironic to see the woman that coined the phrase "vast right-wing conspiracy" blame her campaign problems on the press.Of course, as experience has shown us since this couple first broke on the national scene in 1991 that they…
