What Part of the Apostles' Creed Does Sally Quinn Not Understand
In her May 20 Moderator's View blog post at "On Faith," entitled "May 21, 2011: Not the end of the world," Washington Post's Sally Quinn at one point describes a belief in the "end times" as one held by "a large segment of Christians."
But that's kind of like saying "a large segment of Hindus believe in reincarnation."
Boston Who? Establishment Press 'Colleagues' Virtually Ignore WH Shuto
Imagine if the Bush 43 administration had decided to exclude a newspaper's reporters from full access to presidential events--regardless of the ostensible reason. Does anyone believe that the New York Times or Associated Press would have ignored the story?
Well, in a thoroughly predictable but nonetheless sad development, that is what has happened since the Boston Herald's Hillary Chabot…
WaPo Editorial Writer Rips Cornel West for Daring to Criticize Obama
As we get closer to Election Day, it's becoming clear that media members aren't going to tolerate any criticism about President Obama whether it comes from the Right or the Left.
On Wednesday, Washington Post editorial writer Jonathan Capehart skewered left-wing black activist Cornel West for having the nerve to speak ill of the current White House resident:
WaPo Hawking $300 Online 'Master Class' Course on Economic Literacy
The Washington Post hopes you may want to "Widen Your World," with online "Master Class" courses that cost $200-$300 a pop.
For example, there's Steven Pearlstein's "Introduction to Economic Literacy."
[Lesson number one: don't spend $300 to have a liberal journalist lecture you.]
Budding oenophiles can bone up on "The Wines of Bordeaux" with Joseph Ward, which you may need after…
WaPo Editorial Writer: 'Newt Established Great Future for Himself as D
After his performance on Sunday's "Meet the Press," Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is taking hits from media members on both sides of the aisle.
A few minutes after conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer declared the former House Speaker's campaign "over," one of the Washington Post's editorial writers told "Special Report's" Bret Baier, "I think Newt established a great…
Notable Quotables: Thrilled by Obama's ‘Almost Biblical’ Success
Rounding out the news of the past couple of weeks, the media elite struck two contradictory themes — with journalists saluting the “courage,”“guts” and “cool hand” of Barack Obama in ordering the mission that killed Osama bin Laden, even as the liberal media were “repelled” and “appalled” by the “vulgar” and “idiotic” celebrations of everyday Americans to the news of the terrorist leader’s…
WaPo: Convicted Drunk Driver May Run for Local Office After Finishing
Two years ago he lost his job as Alexandria [Va.] police chief on a drunk driving charge.
Now David Baker is considering running for local office in the northern Virginia city.
Allison Klein of the Washington Post has a gauzy story about Baker's penance for his crime on page B1 of the May 16 paper. In paragraph seven Klein briefly alluded to Baker's party affiliation:
WaPo Critic Hails Novel 'Re-Imagining' Jesus As Bisexual Free-love Adv
Novelist and infamous liar James Frey has a new novel out, "The Final Testament of The Holy Bible," which he pompously holds forth as a "theoretical third volume of the Bible" that conceives of a second coming of the Christ in the person of "an alcoholic bisexual living in the Bronx who impregnates prostitutes, titillates priests and becomes the ultimate seducer himself," John Murray of the…
Greenland to Hillary Clinton: We Like Global Warming, Thank You Very M
Global warming has been kind to Greenland, expanding tourism and with it economic opportunity and giving farmers a growing season long enough for vegetables.
But it sure makes it a bit awkward when Hillary Clinton comes there to clamor about the dangers of climate change.
From Joby Warrick's page A6 story (emphasis mine):
Gainor Column: Over 30 Major News Organizations Linked to George Soros
First of Four Parts
When liberal investor George Soros gave $1.8 million to National Public Radio, it became part of the firestorm of controversy that jeopardized NPR's federal funding. But that gift only hints at the widespread influence the controversial billionaire has on the mainstream media. Soros, who spent $27 million trying to defeat President Bush in 2004, has ties to more than…
WaPo Buries Opposition to Tuition Bill; Baltimore Sun Paints GOP Criti
Yesterday liberal Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley (D) signed into law a measure allowing illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates at public colleges and universities.
Covering the story today, the Washington Post offered this bland print edition headline on page B1: "O'Malley signs bill allowing immigrant tuition breaks."
The move "bucks trend in other states" and a "showdown…
WaPo Poll: 62% of Virginians Approve of GOP Governor; Paper Shuffles S
A new Washington Post poll of Virginians finds that Old Dominion voters are optimistic about the direction of the state, approve of the job of their conservative governor, and are divided on the question of same-sex marriage.
Guess how the Post handled reporting the results.
That's right, the paper hyped the same-sex marriage numbers on A1 but shuffled the good news for McDonnell over to…
WaPo Hearts Bleed Over Leaking Bradley Manning, But They Can't Place H
Sunday’s Washington Post Magazine carried a cover story that oozed with compassion for radical-left WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning. Just as they did in last August's "antiwar hero" story, the Post utterly failed to locate Manning and his supporters on the far left. They were merely "free-information activists." They were the same kind of folks who wanted America to lose the Vietnam War, like…
WaPo Editor's Liberal Tweets Again Belie Paper's Claims of Neutrality
In late 2009, the Washington Post's response to a tweet from its managing editor that betrayed a clear left-leaning worldview was to censor all of its employees for fear that they might betray their (gasp) opinions. A more sensible policy might have been to acknowledge that the paper is staffed by people who are, for the most part, liberals.
The same managing editor, Raju Narisetti - who has…
