NBC's Lauer Asks if L.A. Times 'Vindicated' in Smears Against Schwarze
Talking to Los Angeles Times reporter Robin Abcarian about the Arnold Schwarznegger scandal on Thursday, NBC Today co-host Matt Lauer wondered if the liberal paper was now justified in accusing the Republican of groping women as he ran for governor of California in 2003: "In some ways, eight years later, do you and other folks at the paper feel vindicated?"
Abcarian argued: "We don't…
LA Times Sees Liu Confirmation Fight as GOP vs. 'Asian American Intere
Goodwin Liu is a liberal UC Berkeley law professor that President Obama has nominated to the already ultra-liberal 9th Circuit.

Mainstream Media Try to Pour Cold Water on John Paul II Beatification
Several media outlets on Sunday did their best to cast doubt on the legacy of Pope John Paul II as the Catholic Church beatified the late pontiff. NPR highlighted how the pope apparently "alienated many Catholics who began leaving the church in droves." CNN brought on a liberal theologian who claimed that John Paul II "led us backwards rather than forward." NBC played up the "avalanche of…
WH-Banned West Coast Pool Reporter Gave Obama Invaluable Early 2008 As
Yesterday evening (late afternoon West Coast time), Phil Bronstein at the San Francisco Chronicle informed his readers that one of its reporters had been banned by the Obama administration:
The hip, transparent and social media-loving Obama administration is showing its analog roots. And maybe even some hypocrisy highlights.
White House officials have banished one of the best…
LA Times Columnist Calls Sarah Palin a 'Special-Needs Case
A day before the liberal website Wonkette posted a truly disgraceful piece about Sarah Palin's Down's syndrome son Trig, the Los Angeles Times published an article calling the former Alaska governor a "special-needs case."
Columnist Meghan Daum's "Why Sarah Palin Doesn't Get What She Deserves" was just another in a long line of hit pieces on the woman from Wasilla the elite media love to hate…
Unintentional Honesty: Los Angeles Times Listing For Obama Campaign We
Via William Jacobson, at his influential LegalInsurrection blog.
Let's call it a case of unintentional honesty, or as Bill Jacobson described it, a classic "Freudian slip."
In its article reporting President Obama's announcement of his 2012 re-election campaign, the Los Angeles Times gave the URL address for the official Obama campaign website as: http://latimes.com. Too true!

L.A. Times's Oliphant Forecasts Possible Political Peril for GOP in Ma
The media are hard at work spinning today's jobs report for maximum political advantage for the White House.
Witness Los Angeles Times reporter James Oliphant, who has filed an article for publication in tomorrow's paper entitled, "Drop in unemployment doesn't mesh with Republicans' script."
Here's how Oliphant opened his April 2 story:
Only After Awful Attacks on Logan: LAT’s Rainey Doesn’t Like Tone
"It seems long past time for reputable news sites to clamp down on the gutter talk."
That is James Rainey, the "On the Media" critic at the Los Angeles Times, fretting in an article today (Sun., 2/27/11) about the tone of readers' comments that are posted on news web sites.
If Rainey wants to "clamp down on the gutter talk" by readers, he needs to take a closer look at his own employer's…
Media Quiet to Case of Non-Citizen Convicted Child Molester Who Was Hi
On Saturday (2/19/11), the Los Angeles Times published an article, "Ex-high school principal gets 8 years for molesting four girls." The case involved Jonas Vital Silverio, who had pleaded no contest to 10 counts of lewd acts on a child 14 or 15 years old.
At first blush, the story seems to be just another stomach-turning account of child abuse in our nation's public schools. But buried in…
Democrat Strategy Meeting Earns Silence, Conservative Conference Spawn
When conservatives gather behind closed doors, the left plans protests and counter events. When the left plans a closed-door meeting, it gets almost no attention at all.
Politico reported briefly on Feb. 16, that Democratic operatives will gather in early March for a private strategy conference. That has gotten little attention or criticism, yet when conservatives gather at the semiannual…
In Wake of Abortion Clinic Arrests, Pa. Governor Fires State Workers
Earlier this week Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett fired state workers whom he believes should have taken decisive action to shutter abortionist Kermit Gosnell's Philadelphia abortion clinic. You may recall that Gosnell was arrested in mid-January for murdering newborn babies. Authorities in Philadelphia also detailed for reporters instances of malpractice as well as the unsanitary working…
LAT Falsely Attacks FNC's O'Reilly
On Friday (2/4/11), the Los Angeles Times' Patrick Goldstein published a blog post with the title, "Bill O'Reilly on science: Why is Earth the only planet with a moon?"
Well, it would be somewhat noteworthy if O'Reilly actually asked such a question, considering the fact that most people know that several other planets in our solar system have moons. The problem is, as an accompanying video…
Media Trumpets Biased and Problematic Abortion-Mental Health Study (w
Several media outlets are trumpeting a recent study out of Denmark that asserts that having an abortion does not increase the risk of mental health problems for women. Yet there are serious problems with the study that major media are not reporting:
1. The Danish study flies in the face of over 30 professional studies just in the past five years that conclude that there is a serious negative…
Liberal Media Ignore Plagiarism Allegations Against Obama
As it turns out, mainstream media outlets that lauded President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech as "downright Reaganesque" might be on to something.
While ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC exalted the commander-in-chief, at least one observer charged the Democratic president with crafting a speech that was "tantamount to plagiarism."
In a column on the U.S. News site, presidential…
