Palin Shown As Lipsticked Pig in Cartoon Days Before Obama Remark
September 11th, 2008 4:09 PM
Four days before the infamous "lipstick on a pig" remark by Sen. Obama, Gov. Sarah Palin was depicted as the lipstick-wearing porcine embodiment of "Federal Budget Earmarks" in a St. Louis Post-Dispatch cartoon by R.J. Matson (see picture at right; h/t tipster Chuck Hodges).Yesterday NewsBusters contributor Warner Todd Huston noted that Obama's remarks sounded remarkably similar to a speech…
WaPo Religion Blogger Attacks Sarah Palin's Religion
September 11th, 2008 12:06 PM
A Washington Post "On Faith" religion blogger, Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, is so affected by PDS (Palin Derangement Syndrome) that she has launched a hate-filled screed against Palin's religion. This might seem an uncharacteristic thing for an ordained minister to do but not when you find out a bit more about Our Miss Brooks. Her bio on the Washington Post site describes Thistlethwaite's area…

September 10th, 2008 10:35 AM
John McCain's ad denouncing Barack Obama for supporting sex education for kindergartners when he was in the Illinois Senate hit a nerve. Today, in a posting titled "Does the Truth Matter Anymore?," Columnist E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post expresses outrage on the newspaper's Web site:And now comes a truly vile McCain ad accusing Obama of supporting legislation to offer "'comprehensive sex…
Headlines Offer an Alternate Liberal Reality
September 8th, 2008 10:21 PM
This is to say, not reality at all. What is the first step in the main stream media’s handbook of liberal bias? Why, alter the headline to fit your agenda, of course. In textbook MSM form, liberal news outlets have been altering the planned Tuesday announcement by President Bush that 8,000 troops in Iraq will be home by February. Allow me to demonstrate…

September 6th, 2008 11:02 PM

Media's Palin Derangement Syndrome: Suddenly, Old Media Thinks They ar
September 3rd, 2008 3:02 AM
John McCain's campaign spokesman is reporting that the media has deluged the campaign with demands that it provide DNA samples to "prove" that baby Trig is the true offspring of vice presidential candidate Governor Sarah Palin. Imagine the effrontery of this demand? Imagine the ignorance and outrageousness of this attack that Governor Palin is receiving at the hands of the Old Media? Worse,…
WaPo's Cohen: Palin Pick Like Caligula Naming His Horse a Consul
September 2nd, 2008 9:32 AM
Imagine the outrage in feminist circles if a conservative columnist had mockingly analogized a sitting Dem governor to an animal. But Richard Cohen has said as much of Sarah Palin. And I predict you won't hear a peep from the Kim Gandys or Naomi Wolffs of the world—much less from their allies in the MSM.Cohen begins his WaPo column of today by dismissing Palin as "a sitcom of a vice…
AP's Weird Science: Who Needs Data When You Have Anecdotes
September 1st, 2008 2:13 AM
Update below. Anecdotal evidence is pretty much useless in science, a discipline steeped in empirical data. But that's no matter to the Associated Press or the Washington Post, which published an August 31 AP article about how "Scientists See Fewer Fireflies." The subheading quickly qualified that the "[e]vidence is anecdotal, but experts fault sprawl, pollution."Of course some of the quoted…
WaPo's Colbert King Implies PUMAs Are Racist
August 30th, 2008 9:00 PM
Are PUMAs racist? Colbert I. King seems to think so. In his WaPo column of today, A Suicidal Choice for Clinton Supporters, King delivers a laundry list of reasons why, in his opinion, it makes no sense for Hillary fans to support McCain. Since he brooks no rational justification for good Dems to desert Obama, by process of elimination, King apparently sees racism as the explanation.Here's…
WaPo's Cillizza: 'Obama's Speech More Substance Than Style
August 29th, 2008 12:41 AM
Regardless of what Barack Obama said in Denver this evening during his Democrat presidential nomination acceptance speech, it was a metaphysical certitude most mainstream media members would love it.Such appears to be the case with the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza who quickly posted his opinions concerning the junior senator from Illinois' moment in the sun at the paper's The Fix blog:
