AP Reports 'Bush Lied' Study Funded by Ultra-leftist George Soros
Video update posted below.Well, the AP has done it again. They have given us leftist propaganda and painted it as news. This time they have published the results of a "study" that claims that "Bush lied" in the run-up to Iraq and somehow the AP forgot to mention that the organization that released this study was funded by extreme leftist George Soros, who has spent billions funding the Democrat…
Tax C-C-C-C ..... Changes: NYT Won't ID Major Irish Economic Success F
In an article (HT Jim Taranto at Best of the Web) describing Ireland's emergence as an European Union powerhouse ("Entrepreneurship Takes Off in Ireland"), reporter James Flanigan of the New York Times simply could not bring himself to specifically identify one of the main reasons for the country's success (bolds are mine): Ireland is now alive with enthusiasm for entrepreneurs, who seemingly…
MSM Forgets That Republicans Remember King

Frightening Canadian Free-Speech Suppression Ignored by US Old Media
My my, the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) is busy these days -- aiding and abetting those who wish to suppress the human right of free speech and expression. Even though (or is it because?) the vehicle that enabled and emboldened the CHRC's thought police and those who complain to it was the passage of the kind of "non-discrimination" legislation Congress has considered passing for…

As a conservative media critic, I often hear liberal journalists say that the reason there aren't more libertarians or conservatives in the media is simply because lefties are more interested in news writing and opinioneering than righties. They are quite quick to deny there is any kind of discrimination--despite the experiences of Susan Molinari at CBS, Ben Domenech at the Washington Post and…
Back to the 80s Trend? Bad Reaganite Rerun, Says NYT Reporter
The '80s are back -- Sylvester Stallone has prepped another "Rambo" movie, Chuck Norris is an Internet icon and Mr. T is doing commercials. Alex Williams tackled the "trend" for the Sunday Styles section of the New York Times, "Tough Guys for Tough Times."

NYT Surprisingly Addresses Horse Slaughter Without Hyperbole
I found a surprising article in the New York Times, one that probably shocked its liberal-leaning base. The headline was slanted, but this January 11 article was a thoughtful assessment of the unintended, but predicted, consequences of the state laws banning US horse slaughter. With the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act that would ban the export of US horses for slaughter before Congress…
