NYT: Extremist Ex-NARAL Officer Merely a 'Women's Leader
The folks at The New York Times are experts at obfuscation, aren't they? Here is a perfect example of the soft selling we get from the leftist editorial board of the Times, a great demonstration of their underhanded practice of creating labels out of thin air that sound sooooo much nicer than would a label that truthfully describes one of their fellow travelers. This time we have an abortion…
Rosie O’Donnell Heading to MSNBC
Rosie O'Donnell on MSNBC. When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. After all, what could be better than three consecutive hours of leftwing invective starting with Chris Matthews, followed by Keith Olbermann, and ending with Rosie's ridiculous rants replete with repugnantly rude ruminations such as only she can regurgitate?

NYT Stunner: Is Environmentalism The Politics of Fear
How often have you heard folks in the media, and climate alarmists such as Nobel Laureate Al Gore, state unequivocally that the global warming debate is over? Too many to count, yes?On the flipside, did you ever think you'd see a major media report suggesting the environmental movement, including global warming alarmism, was "premised on a 'politics of fear'?" Well, on Wednesday, Sewell…
