  • The "Hanoian" candidate

    ''The Manchurian Candidate'' which I just played on, was produced and starred in by Frank Sinatra, the only ''chairman of the board'' of a record company to also have a top 10 hit, at Reprise. He delayed it's opening I read or heard, because President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated, and out of respect, not shown until later. Similarly an ...

  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • The Importance of Earnest Reporting ...

    The Convention is THE ONE place all the usual suspects -- all the conspirators, backstabbers, flip-floppers -- physically gather to showcase their dark skills. Any journalist daring not to be present for the festivities is a traitor to the trade and better find another line of work (but not as a TSA agent, please.)

  • Re: Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

    Media bias is a perceived notion that certain press has and is pushing a viewpoint, instead of reporting news or airing programs in an objective way. That is the way I see it. Such bias often refers to media as a whole, such as a newspaper chain, or a given television or radio network, instead of individual reporters or writers of television ...

  • Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias

    How the Media Vote. Surveys of journalists’ self-reported voting habits show them backing the Democratic candidate in every presidential election since 1964, including landslide losers George McGovern, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis. In 2004, a poll conducted by the University of Connecticut found journalists backed John Kerry over George W. ...

  • Liberal Media Lies

    Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away. Political logic augurs a democratic triumph? Augur: To predict, especially from signs or omens; foretell. What signs or omens are they looking ...

  • The Edwards Photos

    Enquirer just released the photo (singular) and, well, the Emperor has no clothes. That is, the photo, while not necessarily faked, is not even close to damning, is laughable. I stared at it like a Magic Eye image, trying to see the hidden picture and, um, no. No wonder it took so long to release them. So much for the ''tipping point'', ...

  • This has to be parody!

    I read the blurb for this story on another site and thought I was going to be redirected to The Onion. For years, the pundits that be have been telling us that we need to have a “national conversation about race.” I suppose we’re having it now. And what we’re learning, is that a lot of us are neurotic ninnies about the subject. It’s ...

  • A Refreshing Change of Events

    I find it oddly comforting that regardless of any manipulation in the press, when confronted with this latest salacious story, by and large the public says ''meh''. When pressured to join the tarring they fight back. When it comes to reasoned debate, the voices of restrain (in my limited experience) win. More encouraging is the growing ...
