Editor’s Note: This popular post was first published on October 27 here. We bash the MSM a lot here at NewsReal, and for good reason. The legacy media clings to many now-debunked myths of their own importance. The average person still thinks All the President’s Men is a documentary, that Walter Cronkite convinced LBJ that [...]
There is a quote wrongly attributed to Winston Churchill, the true origins of which are disputed. It goes something like this. If you’re not a liberal at 20, you have no heart. If you’re not conservative by 35, you have no brains. The sentiment is half right. Conservatism certainly results from prioritizing reason above empathy. [...]
A lot of “conservative movie” lists really push the meaning of “conservative” beyond its strict dictionary limits, veering into the realms of libertarianism, Objectivism and anarchy.

The unwavering message is that the Stewart “Rally for Sanity” was uniquely reasonable, ” a political event like no other.” I wasn’t there. But I’ve live-blogged this [...]
In light of the drubbing that Christine O’Donnell has taken as regards witchcraft, and with Halloween right around the corner, how about a look at some real-life Horrors (note to Jerry Brown: that’s HOR-RORS two syllables, not… well, you know). These are the true Witches of the Left – and they’re a frightening, diabolical bunch. [...]
This article first appeared at Salon, on September 13, 1999. One of the many letters responding to my Salon News column aboutblack racism and denial was from an angry Chicago reader named Alice Huber, who introduced herself as an African-American woman married to a white man. According to Huber, I was indeed a “bigot,” as [...]

A medical student. See? Poverty causes terrorism! "Bomb was designed to explode on cargo plane – UK PM," from the BBC, October 30 (thanks to Pamela Geller): Prime Minister David Cameron says the device in a package sent from Yemen and found on a US-bound cargo plane was designed to…
