Ken Allard: Generous Second Coat Of Benghazi Whitewash

More White House tactical air support from CNN.      CNN spent an hour of prime time Tuesday night to air a special anchored by Erin Burnett, “The Truth about Benghazi.” They claimed to have learned two vital lessons from their supposedly extensive investigation of that tragedy: It must never happen again, and politics trumped      ...

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      ...  MORE

VIDEO: Trayvon Martin Case - The Lynching Of Journalism

Peter Schiff: Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman Tragedy

When facts collide with preconceptions.           The Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman tragedy has become one of those transcendent events that dominates the national discourse and throws light on dimly lit aspects of our society. Obviously, the case touches most closely on issues of race relations, media culture, and the        ... MORE

William Tucker: Press Goes Crackers Over Fracking

Latest in the smear campaign against fracking.     If you want to see how the press acts like a bunch of hysterical ninnies, just look at the way an article in Science about earthquakes and underground wastewater storage pools has been distorted into a national alarm about fracking. By the time you read this, you will have already read the headline   ... MORE

Barry Farber: Put Your Money On 'Distancing'

Barack who?      OK, all of you who share my shameful habit of writing history before it happens: It’s time to lay the money on your favorite square. Will all the hydra-headed horrors whip-lashing the Obama White House spend themselves out splashing against a Democratic seawall in the Senate, and the media-corps awaken in the middle of the night   ...

Moral 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    ... MORE

Obama 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    ... MORE

Barry 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

Matt Welch: Benghazi Hall Of Shame

On death, lies and an obscure YouTube trailer.     Yesterday's dramatic congressional testimony about the deadly Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks on U.S. interests in Benghazi, Libya convincingly corroborated what was widely reported within days of the attack: that senior American officials on the ground knew immediately,     ...

Media Scrambles To Minimize Team Obama Deception

by Dan Gainor.  In the real world, when you cover up four murders after the fact, you likely go to jail. In government, you retire with dignity and run for president with full media support. Up until yesterday, that was the Benghazi scenario following the death of four Americans including our ambassador to Libya. The Obama administration has lied,         ... MORE

Gun Crime Has Plunged, But Americans Think It Is Up

Emily Alpert on a Pew Research study.   Gun crime has plunged in the United States since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, including gun killings, assaults, robberies and other crimes, two new studies of government data show. Yet few Americans are aware of the dramatic drop, and more than half believe gun crime has risen, according to a  ... MORE

Boston: The MSM's Exploded "Journalism"

by Edward Cline.   Over the years, I have watched via Internet video countless IED (Improvised Explosive Device) explosions detonated on American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. So, when I read the news of the Boston Marathon bombing of April 15th, and watched the videos of the incident, I was certain that it was a terrorist bombing that killed  ... MORE

Jonathon Moseley: Global Warming? Oops! Never Mind!

What was the Earth's temperature yesterday?  Nobody knows.  In fact, it's a ridiculous question.  Almost every place on Earth today has a different temperature from that of any other location.  So, is our planet's temperature rising?  Do we even know? However, it is officially admitted: Global warming stopped 15-20 years ago.  The mainstream media   ...

Thomas Sowell: Economic Mobility

Taking advantage of opportunity.      Most people are not even surprised any more when they hear about someone who came here from Korea or Vietnam with very little money, and very little knowledge of English, who nevertheless persevered and rose in American society. Nor are we surprised when their children excel in school and go on to ... MORE

Rasmussen Poll: 6% Rate News Media As Very Trustworthy

What are they thinking?        Most voters still get their news from television and consider the news reported by the media generally trustworthy. Fifty-six percent (56%) of Likely U.S. Voters say they get most of their news from TV, including 32% who get it from cable news networks and 24% who get it from traditional network news. A new        ... MORE
