Er, sorry, you still read newspapers because why now?

The Chicago Tribune’s Ron Grossman writes:
I took a quick survey in the newsroom the other day, something between a Rorschach test and a pop quiz, asking younger colleagues to identify an iconic photograph [see photo above] of World War II.
While some instantly recognized the image, others couldn’t quite place it.
Extremely disturbing on many levels.

The ‘global warming’ story you haven’t heard: part two

In January, I told you about independent journalist Donna Laframboise’s one-woman investigation of that Nobel-prize winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on “global warming.”
She discovered, simply by using the report’s own built in search function, that some of the IPPCC report’s “peer reviewed scientific journals” were, uh, not.
Laframboise kept pulling the “peer [...]

NPR’s government geography ‘expert’ thinks New Jersey is the same size as Texas

Your tax dollars at play: National Public Radio asked Jane Ferrigno (yes, that’s her real name) of the U.S. Geological Survey about alleged “Antarctic ice loss”:
Ms. FERRIGNO: I think I’ll go back 20 years, and in the last 20 years, I would say at least 20,000 square kilometers of ice has been lost, and that’s [...]

Media Matters kids are experts on polar bears now

“What?”

The George Soros Steno Pool, a.k.a. Media Matters, just won’t retire its tiresome “Limbaugh Wire,” feature, no matter how pathetic it gets.
Yesterday, they just kept hammering away at the now-debunked “global warming” thing, like a Newfie at a seal hunt:
Next, Rush turned the dittocam back on and held up a picture from the UK [...]

CNBC rearranging chyrons on a sinking ship

A show called American Greed is the only reason I ever watch CNBC. I feel a bit guilty about that, given the program’s sleazoid name, and the fact that it’s just a bunch of recycled old “true crime” Dateline NBC episodes.
What’s weird (and annoying) is that CNBC only carries commercials for… CNBC. Over and over and [...]

Here’s my anecdote: DNC’s ’seminar caller’ campaign was an embarrassing disaster

(credit: ThePeoplesCube.com)
I think kids these days call this sort of thing an “epic fail.”
On Friday, Matthew Vadum and I told you about “On the Air,” a new astroturfing project from Obama Organizing for America, the activist wing of the DNC. Volunteers were supposed to go to the “On the Air” website, then follow instructions on [...]

And now you know… the rest of the story

As I told you here last month, Obama Organizing for America has been building an army of talk radio “seminar callers” — that is, activists tasked with calling conservative talk radio programs, then dutifully repeating DNC talking points until the program director hangs up on them.
Yesterday, they unveiled their website: Radio.BarackObama.com.
If you thought leftists were [...]

Compare and contrast: Fox News vs ABC News

Even today, Media Matters is still pushing their tired meme about the “Glenn Beck boycott.” As I’ve explained, this boycott literally cannot work, because cable TV has a different business model than broadcast television.
Speaking of which…
It’s sad to see the George Soros Steno Pool desperately pushing their “boycott” non-story in light of reports like this:

Exhibit [...]

‘Colorful’ is right: the soft bigotry of Media Matters

You know who.
Kate Conway must really want to keep her job.
Conway is one of the three (count ‘em!) Media Matters staffers assigned to work the high steel listen to Rush Limbaugh every afternoon, duplicate his transcriptionist’s work, then make lame jokes about Rush’s lame jokes.
Here’s Conway’s take on a segment from Limbaugh’s show yesterday:
A dissenting [...]

‘Ultra-left and pro-Muslim groups’ behind firing of veteran SF radio host?

“You’d be surprised how many conservative talk show fans there are here in the Deep Blue Hot Tub,” writes SFGate politics blogger Joe Garofoli.
I know I was. I still can’t believe Michael Savage lives and works in San Francisco, for one thing.
Now a shakeup at KSFO has Bay Area listeners wondering: was veteran morning host [...]
