David Frum Continues to Promote Big Government Conservatism
September 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment
A number of NewsRealblog posts have recently taken David Frum to task because of his criticisms of Glenn Beck and his (Frum’s) quest to “rebrand conservatism.”
Frum appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Tuesday to talk about his “new conservative brand,” where conservatism went wrong, and how to redefine conservative ideology so Republicans can win elections again.
The not-so-suprising conclusion: social conservatives should be told to take [...]
Bias on FOX News
September 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment
FOX media commentator Bernie Goldberg’s weekly appearance on the O’Reilly Factor turned into a shouting match about whether certain unnamed talking heads on FOX News were spinning their biased views as facts. This was in response to O’Reilly’s question as to why FOX is under constant attack by the “mainstream” media.

Media Matters Freaks Out Over Coverage of White House Advisor’s ACORN Ties
September 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment
For amusement sometimes I read the Media Matters for America website.
If Media Matters, the left-wing character assassination factory with strong ties to liberal uber-funder George Soros, is denouncing something, chances are it’s something that ought not be denounced.
Take for example Media Matters’s apoplexy over the richly deserved pounding the radical activist group and crime syndicate ACORN [...]
From the Pen of David Horowitz: September 30, 2009
September 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment
This is not to say, of course, that McCarthy’s response to Communism was not destructive. In his hands, the struggle against this fifth column was perverted first into a weapon aimed at the Democrats and ultimately into a scattergun aimed at his own party, at America, and finally at himself. His reckless demagoguery did damage [...]

THOUGH IT HASN’T BEEN TRUE for years, many people believe that government employees receive such lavish employment and retirement benefits in order to compensate for their meager paychecks. The reality is that their paychecks aren’t meager at all: Government jobs pay more than [...]
