Buffalo News Supporting Silencing of Righty Radio Talkers

November 11th, 2008 6:24 AM
Douglas Turner of the Buffalo News wants conservative radio talkers silenced. He calls them "virulent," "violent" and "coarse" and hopes that starting January 1 the "work of flushing" them will begin. Turner fills his little anti-free speech screed with claims and a few examples of how rotten he thinks righty talkers are and how they need to be shut down, yet can't seem to find a single cross…

NY Paper: July's Killing of Liberals in Tennessee Church is Rush Limba

August 14th, 2008 5:14 AM
Rush Limbaugh killed some church goers in Tennessee last July. That is the message from a Newsday.com columnist for a local New York newspaper chain. Now, I've listened to Rush Limbaugh many times. Because of my schedule, I cannot listen every day, so certainly I have not heard every word the man has ever uttered, but I am sure that you won't be able to find a time when he told people to go out…

In Rochester, Almost Half of 7th and 8th Graders Fail Exam -- Even Whe

July 27th, 2008 7:14 PM
Given how much grief charter schools and other creative initiatives get from the government-school establishment if they don't instantly turn at risk kids into Einsteins, along with the hounding of homeschoolers that seems to be on the rise, this story shouldn't be allowed to fall through the cracks, or remain confined to its local area. Last Sunday's Rochester Democrat and Chronicle story (HT…

July 27th, 2008 10:16 AM
Robert Burns and Robert H. Reid created quite a stir in the blogosphere yesterday with their dispatch from Baghdad, "Analysis: US now winning Iraq war that seemed lost."

Local Newspapers Parrot Misinformation by Liberal Families USA

April 30th, 2008 6:19 PM
Families USA is at it again and as usual the liberal media are dutifully parroting their rhetoric. The liberal, pro-universal healthcare advocacy group recently released a report attacking President Bush’s budget proposal for Medicaid. In the report, Families USA Director Ron Pollack asserted that Bush’s proposed budget decreases funding for Medicaid. Like last time, Families USA has…

No Party ID for NY Dem Who Stole From Little League, Bought Mistress C

March 8th, 2008 4:25 PM
The New York Times reported Democratic NY state assemblyman Brian McLaughlin pleaded guilty to federal racketeering charges on Friday. As usual, no party identification in the headline, picture, caption or article, but there's a twist in this March 8 piece. The NYT also didn't report that he was in office at the time the crimes were committed. In the lede, the Times described McLaughlin as the “…

It happened on today's Good Morning America in the course of a conversation that co-anchor Robin Roberts conducted with Cokie Roberts and Matt Dowd.ROBIN ROBERTS: Many are wondering how far she can…

‘Pro-Choice’ Clergy Mark ‘Roe’ Anniversary By ‘Blessing’ A

January 24th, 2008 12:50 PM
An article in Wednesday’s Albany Times-Union carried the deceptive title "35 years pass, but not debate: Demonstrations mark 1973 high court ruling affirming right to abortion." Instead of covering any of the various pro-life or pro-choice demonstrations over the past few days, the Times-Union spent the bulk of article discussing a ceremony at a new Planned Parenthood facility in Albany where…
