SF Chronicle: Obama Knew About Van Jones' Radical Background in Advanc
September 7th, 2009 11:45 AM
There is a charge floating around out there that President Barack Obama knew in advance about the radical background of Van Jones before appointing him as his "green jobs czar." So where is this charge coming from? Glenn Beck? Nope. Fox News? Nope. This revelatory charge was made on the pages of the liberal San Francisco Chronicle in an article on the Jones resignation written by Joe Garofoli:The…
Stand by Your Van? SF Chronicle Politics Writer Notes Toxic Effect of
September 5th, 2009 10:07 AM
As noted by John Stephenson of NewsBusters, much of the media has been ignoring the enormous Van Jones controversy. However, Joe Garofoli, the politics writer and blogger for Jones' hometown newspaper, the liberal San Francisco Chronicle, has just written about the toxic effect of Van Jones and who is standing by their Van and who isn't in his Politics blog:The Bay Area's Van Jones -- the Special…

August 15th, 2009 9:11 AM
Global warming warning! Be on the alert for the attack of the invasive weeds! This is the latest in a long series of the possible consequences of supposed global warming. The dire scenario is set forth in a San Francisco Chronicle story by Joe Eaton and Ron Sullivan:For educational purposes, the California Invasive Plants Council will sell you bouquets of plastic weeds, including yellow star…
Now It's SF Chron Using False '90% of Mexican Guns From US' Line
July 1st, 2009 3:33 AM
The San Francisco Chronicle is proving the old bromide true. That's the one that goes: "a lie can be half way 'round the world before the truth can pull its boots on" (often incorrectly attributed to Mark Twain). Then there is another one Twain didn't originate but aptly fits here, "there are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies and statistics." The subject of this scoffing is that factoid the…
San Fran Chronicle Slobbers: Obama is 'Father of Our Country,' Earns
June 21st, 2009 11:58 PM
The reader might be warned that reading this San Francisco Chronicle Father's Day piece serves as a most perfect emetic. In fact, it's a wonder that writer Jennifer Weiss could type with all those stars in her eyes. Her Father's Day adulation of Obama is so over-the-top that Obama suddenly becomes the "father of our country," and is determined to have "super-dad status." The most offensive part…
Mark Morford: 'Age of Obama' Brings Global Decline of Tangible Evil
June 12th, 2009 9:04 AM
Last year columnist Mark Morford of the San Francisco Chronicle turned himself into a national laughingstock with his comical claim that Barack Obama was some sort of "enlightened being," a messianic Lightworker. Here is an excerpt from Morford's "Lightworker" column that gives you a taste of his worshipful unintentional humor:Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious,…
Editor: 'Obama and the Fawning Press Need to Get a Room
June 9th, 2009 10:07 AM
When an editor of one of the nation's most liberal newspapers is disgusted by the media's sycophantic adoration for President Obama, it's a metaphysical certitude the press's behavior has so deviated from anything close to journalism that the entire industry should be put in a time out.With this in mind, the San Francisco Chronicle's Phil Bronstein wrote a piece Monday called "Love or Lust, Obama…
SF Chronicle Writer Exposes How City Policies Are Punishing Homeless M
June 4th, 2009 1:34 PM
From time to time, I like to highlight when the media do something right, so today I thought I'd give hearty kudos to San Francisco Chronicle's C.W. Nevius for his June 4 column, "Bureaucrat scuffs dream of homeless shoe shiner." In his page A1 story, the Chronicle columnist informs readers of the plight of a homeless man who, rather than panhandling for spare change, decided to earn his own…
Newspapers Bristle at Thought of Liberalism Being Mocked in 'The Goode
May 27th, 2009 5:09 PM
ABC’s new series "The Goode Family" poking fun at liberalism and political correctness has predictably been greeted with disdain by the establishment media. The running theme in reviews of the series is that it is unoriginal, flat, and not funny. Not that the folks at the New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle are able to laugh at themselves, anyway… The Times’s Ginia Bellafante said: But…
SF Chronicle Reporter: Pelosi 'Torture Woes' Politically Motivated
May 17th, 2009 10:02 AM
So how does the Washington correspondent for Nancy Pelosi's hometown newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, explain away Nancy Pelosi's disastrous news conference on Thursday in which she accused the CIA of lying? Simple. Blame it all on the evil Republicans and portray the House Speaker as the victim of political gamesmanship. Such was the laughable premise of Carolyn Lochhead in her Chronicle…
SF Chronicle's Morford Defends Teen 'Sexting
May 15th, 2009 12:45 PM
There's a legitimate debate to be had about the media's coverage of the alleged epidemic of "sexting" -- teenagers sending pornographic or suggestive photos of themselves nude or semi-nude via cell phone.*After all, the media are well-known to glom onto a few anecdotes and drum up a "growing trend" without the benefit of empirical data to back up the alarming claim. That being said, San Francisco…

S.F. Chronicle Blogger Upset Over Climate Change Skepticism; Likens Is
April 18th, 2009 11:08 PM
Want to see the bitterness of media elitism? Take a look at what San Francisco Chronicle's environmental blog, "The Thin Green Line," thinks of the public's attitude about global warming. According to an April 17 Rasmussen Reports poll, only one out of three voters believes global warming is caused by human activity. For Cameron Scott of the Chronicle's "The Thin Green Line," this isn't due to…
SF Chron Reports 'Massive' Anti-War Protest, Completely Ignored Equall
March 22nd, 2009 4:58 AM
Back on March 15, Noel Sheppard noted that the San Francisco Chronicle completely ignored the thousands of average Americans that came together in Cincinnati, Ohio to protest Obama's unprecedented take over of the US economy. The Cincinnati Tea Party truly was massive but is just one of the many dozens of Tea Party protests that have occurred -- and are continuing to occur -- all across the…
