Andrew Napolitano: Freedom And Federalism
Federalism can save First Amendment values. One of the bedrocks of our governmental infrastructure is federalism. This is the constitutional recognition of the legal origins of the United States as a union of independent states. America started, of course, with 13 colonies, which became 13 states, and gradually added 37 ... MORE
Kyle Becker: The Integrity Of The Liberal Media On Display
As a reporter faces jailtime for protecting sources. Liberal media enjoy giving themselves accolades and awards for outstanding journalism — so long as the story fits the narrative. Fox News’ Jana Winter shouldn’t expect such praise or support. The New York Times and other left-wing outlets are either not reporting or are under- ... MOREL. Brent Bozell: Only Propaganda Is 'Good Journalism'?
Why the waterfall of liberal bias keeps flowing. Why are liberals in so much denial about liberal bias in the news? Why do they think they're bending over backward to be "objective" doing that which Republicans see as partisan activism? Daniel Froomkin of the Huffington Post — formerly of The Washington Post — suggests an answer. ... MOREKatie Kieffer: Pour Me A Vodka, Putin
Bad news for Barack. For the first time in five years, the conventional media prefers Russian President Vladimir Putin over U.S. President Barack Obama. Has Vladimir sent American journalists cases of Russian vodka? Or are they fed up with Barack? It’s amusing to imagine Putin shipping cases of Russian vodka to American journalists ... MORE
Brent Bozell: Insulating Obama From His Corrupt IRS
It helps when the media ignores the issue. President Obama is announcing for the umpteenth time he's going to "pivot" to fixing the economy — as if that's ever worked before, since it is he who broke it. That said, Obama will pivot to tiddlywinks if that's what it takes to get out from under his mountain of scandals. On the White House ... MOREFRACKNATION: Journalist Searches For the Fracking Truth
by John F. McManus. More intensely than almost any other nation, we Americans are dependent on energy — to run businesses, heat and light homes and buildings, power the many forms of transportation we frequently take for granted, and more. Worry over recent years that the world is running out of energy, especially the sources known ... MORESteven Greenhut: Journalism Is An Act, Not A Profession
Great journalism can come from average citizens. Watching some recent debates about who is a “real journalist” and who isn’t has been a source of amusement for me given that being a real journalist has not always been that great of an honor. When I told Mom I was getting a job in journalism, she was miffed that her son would waste ... MOREPoll: Americans Angry With DOJ's Intimidation Of Media
Federal tyranny is the only thing transparent. The Internal Revenue Service scandal is just one hot-button issue that the Obama administration is facing. The other is the government investigating reporters. And new poll new numbers indicate, many Americans are not happy with the Justice Department snooping on the press, CBS ... MOREDOJ Wanted Indefinite Tracking Of Fox Reporter's Email
A chilling effect on a once free press. U.S. prosecutors asked a judge to defer indefinitely notifying a Fox News reporter his email was being monitored in a national security probe, records indicate. Court documents unsealed this week show U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ron Machen argued in 2010 the normal practice of ... MOREDear Graduates: Tyranny Is Right Around The Corner
by Andrew Napolitano. A few weeks ago, President Obama advised graduates at Ohio State University that they need not listen to voices warning about tyranny around the corner, because we have self-government in America. He argued that self-government is in and of itself an adequate safeguard against tyranny, because voters can be ... MOREMoral Bias At The New York Times
by Tibor R. Machan. The headline said it all: “Confusion and Staff Troubles Rife at I.R.S. Office in Ohio.” No mention of mendacity, of evil, of meanness, of vice, Nada. For liberals their own pals are never morally amiss. They may make mistakes, be confused and have troubles. But guilty of malpractice never! Only Republicans and others who ... MOREObama's War Against The Free Press Gets Creepier
by J.D. Tuccille. Perhaps the most chilling aspect of the U.S. Department of Justice "investigation" of Fox News chief correspondent James Rosen isn't the intrusive tracking of his movements and contacts — although that's disturbing enough — but the basis for the criminal charges he may ultimately face. At its heart, the allegation ... MOREObama Scandals Bring MSNBC To 7-Year Low
by Dominic Patten. The scandals of the Obama administration seem to be hurting not just the White House but MSNBC as well, while Fox News Channel has just scored its second-best week of the year. After double-digit gains during last year’s presidential election, May 13-17 saw the progressive-aligned “Lean Forward” news network hit new lows ... MOREBarry Farber: Are Media Finally Doing Their Job?
Poor Jay Carney. Do you remember how World War II started? Don’t tell me “Hitler invaded Poland.” You’ve got to do better than that. The Nazis had “Special Forces” who spoke fluent Polish. They put on Polish army uniforms, sneaked into Poland, then sneaked back into Germany and blew up a German radio station near the Polish border. Hitler ... MORE
