George W. Bush would have no such luck. Much of the world spent the last 48 hours expressing revulsion at the
U.S. airstrike on a hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. It was quite clear
early on that the perpetrator of the attack was the U.S., and many
media outlets and other organizations around the world have been stating
this without ... MORE

Black, Gay Reporter Murders Straight, White Journalists — Media Blame The Gun
by Ben Shapiro. On Wednesday, America met a deeply evil human being: Vester Lee Flanagan II, also known as reporter Bryce Williams. Williams murdered two people while they were live on air on WDBJ in Virginia: reporter Alison Parker, and cameraman Adam Ward. After the murders, he went on the run – and while he was on the run, ...

James Queally: Why The Police Killing Of This Unarmed White Man Has Not Provoked A National Media Outcry
Black lives matter, but ... Zachary Hammond, an unarmed white 19-year-old, was in the middle of a seemingly routine vehicle stop in South Carolina last week when a police officer fatally shot him. Police have said the officer fired in self-defense during a drug sting, but a subsequent autopsy seems to counter the officer’s claim that Hammond ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Liberals' Use Of Black People - Part II
Life on the liberal plantation. Last week's column focused on the ways liberals use blacks in pursuit of their leftist agenda, plus their demeaning attitudes toward black people. Most demeaning are their double standards. It was recently reported that Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the House majority whip, spoke at a 2002 gathering hosted by ... MORE
Another White House Mouthpiece Joins Up With MSNBC
Propaganda repository gets new blood. MSNBC: The place where ex-White House aides go to be unbiased. Or, well, something like that. There was a time, years ago, when MSNBC was still pretending to have straight news reporting by not letting hosts like Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews anchor election coverage. But that’s clearly a ... MORE
IBD Editorial: Press Helps Obama Censor The News
It's not often that the press exposes its own bias. But a Washington Post story this week reveals both the Obama administration's attempts to censor the news and the media's complicity in that effort. For decades, news outlets have relied on pool reports from a rotating group of White House correspondents who follow the president ... MORE
Ed Krayewski: The Role of the Media in the War on Drugs
The strategic air support. The media's often called the fourth estate. Where's that come from? In the Middle Ages in Europe the first estate was the nobility, the second estate was the clergy, and the third estate was peasants, everyone else. Together the three estates constituted a feudal "realm." The king existed outside the ... MORE
Democrats Launch Effort To Get Rush Limbaugh Off The Air
by John Nolte. If you can't beat him, censor him. During the Bush administration, national Democrat leaders threatened to kill the ABC network's broadcast license if a miniseries unfavorable to the Clinton administration wasn't censored to satisfy Democrats. ABC complied. Earlier this year, Democrats started a push for a Constitutional ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: The Media And The Mob Of Ferguson
The bias of the bullet-counters. Casting blame based on skin color should have ended with Jim Crow. Those of us who admit that we were not there and do not know what happened when Michael Brown was shot by a policeman in Ferguson, Mo., seem to be in the minority. We all know what has happened since then — and it has been a ... MORE

Country Moves Toward GOP On Every Significant Issue
New AP poll reveals verdict on hope and change. Although you wouldn’t know it from the lack of media coverage, or even the AP's own write-up of the poll (which gives new meaning to the phrase "buried lead"), a new Associated Press-GfK poll offers nothing but harrowing news for Democrats and the media who love them. Buried in the "pox ... MORE

John Stossel: Omission Control
The American Pravda. Reporter Sharyl Attkisson's story sounds familiar to me: A major network got tired of her reports criticizing government. She no longer works there. The CBS correspondent reported on Fast and Furious, the shifting explanation for the Benghazi, Libya, attacks and the bungled rollout of the Obamacare website. ... MORE
Is Obama Media Playing Dumb --- Or Are They Not Playing?
White House and media ignorance on display. Administration misspeaks and reporters don't bother to investigate. A White House aide set off a stampede of liberal media criticism for Internet news pioneer Matt Drudge over Obamacare – but his critics don't seem to understand how small businesses pay taxes. The brouhaha started when ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Another Galling Betrayal
It doesn't have to be this way. The Afghanistan government's recent release of dozens of imprisoned terrorists, many of whom had killed Americans, was a galling betrayal of those Americans who died defending Afghanistan against the Taliban terrorists — as well as those Americans who have returned home with arms or legs missing, ...

Walter E Williams: OK To Feel Sorry
The virtue of Dennis Rodman. At one time in our nation's history, blacks feeling sorry for whites was verboten. That was portrayed in Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird." This is a novel published in 1960 — and later made into a movie — about Depression-era racial relations in the Deep South. The novel's ... MORE
Global Warming Scientists Trapped In Antarctic Ice
P. J. Gladnick on an inconvenient irony. Somewhere far, far to the south where it is summer, a group of global
warming scientists are trapped in the Antarctic ice. If you missed the
irony of that situation, it is because much of the mainstream media has
glossed over that rather inconvenient bit of hilarity. As an example
here is an Associated ... MORE
Humberto Fontova: Caveat On Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela's commitment to liberty. A Martian visiting earth this week, coasting TV channels and perusing papers, would have to conclude that among the items that most interest this planet’s news bureaus is the plight of former political prisoners, especially black ones. Well, many Cubans (many of them black) suffered longer and ... MORE

When Political Correctness Trumps Human Lives
Thomas Sowell on a very dangerous game. New York City police authorities are investigating a series of unprovoked physical attacks in public places on people who are Jewish, in the form of what is called "the knockout game." The way the game is played, one of a number of young blacks decides to show that he can knock down some ... 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- ... MORE
