February 21st, 2007 5:16 PM
So asked James Taranto in his Wednesday “Best of the Web Today” column for OpinionJournal.com. Taranto highlighted a Sunday Los Angeles Times story, “Pilots traced to CIA renditions: The Times identifies three fliers facing kidnapping charges in Germany related to a 2003 counter-terrorism mission,” which though it did not list their real names, identified the aliases and enough information about…
LATimes: Obama Not 'Black Enough
February 19th, 2007 7:59 AM
(As heard on the Rush Limbaugh Show, Feb 20th, 2007)
A very interesting piece by Louis Chude-Sokei is featured in the L.A.Times today, titled Redefining 'Black' and centered upon the question of Barack Obama's relative "blackness".
Some of you may have noticed that Barack is not getting the automatic support from African American leaders that many assumed he would get since throwing his hat…
LA Times Front Page: Hillary Clinton Being ‘Swift-Boated’ by GOP A
February 18th, 2007 11:23 AM
Sometimes it’s better to stay in bed and not bother reading the newspaper or watching the political talk shows. This Sunday sadly started out that way as I unfortunately happened upon a Los Angeles Times front-page article entitled “GOP Activists Circling Clinton's Campaign.”Frankly, the author and the paper’s editors should be ashamed of themselves for placing such biased tripe so prominently in…
LA Times Gives Readers One-Sided Budget Story, Leaves Out Source's Par
February 6th, 2007 12:46 AM
It's budget time again, kids. And you know what that means. News stories that hype liberal talking points about President Bush being stingy with our tax dollars.Were that the case, many fiscal conservatives might say, but you won't find any attention paid them in Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar's February 5 article. The Times staff writer cited complaints from Democratic Rep. Pete Stark (D), and of…

WaPo Columnist: US Troops 'Naive Mercenaries' -- What Do We Really Owe
February 1st, 2007 12:56 PM
Half-serious warning: those with heart conditions are advised to have their medications handy when reading this.With Democrats in congressional power, are leftists feeling suddenly empowered to express formerly taboo views? First came a column in the Los Angeles Times arguing we have overreacted to 9-11. Now comes Washington Post columnist William Arkin to express contempt for our troops and…
Biden Comments Rate 'Oops' from NY Times, No Front-Page Mention by Glo
February 1st, 2007 6:36 AM
In our continuing calvalcade of coverage of the Biden "clean and articulate" comments, we thought it would be interesting to see how three of the leading liberal newspapers treated the story on their respective front pages this morning.At the New York Times, the headline on the smallish front-page article brought a dash of downplaying humor to the story: "Biden Unwraps His Bid for ’08 With an…
LATimes: US Reaction to 9/11 Just a 'Massive Overreaction
January 31st, 2007 7:37 AM
Nearly 3,000 Americans killed in a series of attacks on one single day -- the most American civilians ever killed in a single day with coordinated attacks -- was no big deal as far as David Bell writing for the L.A. Times is concerned.
The attacks were a horrible act of mass murder, but history says we're overreacting.
See, they know this because Russia had a bad time of it during WWII.
