Polls show that polls are mostly bunk

Polls show that polls are mostly bunk

“Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular,” reports Media Matters from the Magical World of Upside Down this morning.
Which would explain why she sold 300,000 copies of her book the first day, and why her publisher just added an extra million copies to the already huge print run, and why hundreds of fans [...]

Media Matters figures we’re asking for it or something

Media Matters figures we’re asking for it or something

Being a leftist means you get to give a widely disputed one-degree rise in temperature the ominous handle “global warming,” then cook up a giant scam around it.
And in the leftist land inhabited by Media Matters, you won’t believe what passes for “obsession.”
Today they ask: “Why are so many media conservatives so obsessed with rape?”
Conservative [...]

Media Matters slams WaPo, American Cancer Society. (Just kidding.)

Media Matters slams WaPo, American Cancer Society. (Just kidding.)

Media Matters’ selective outrage is on full display today. They declare, “Beck, Limbaugh, and Hannity link nonbinding mammogram guidelines to ‘death panels’”:
Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity have linked a task force’s recommendation that fewer women younger than 50 receive regular mammograms to the widely debunked smear that Democratic health reform bills include “death [...]

TO: George Soros FROM: Your accountant

TO: George Soros FROM: Your accountant

George? It’s me. Look, we’re coming up to year-end, and we really need to talk about this Media Matters thing. Again.
I have to ask one more time: are you sure you’re getting your money’s worth?
I go over there today and that Eric guy is back with the typos:
Clearly the question on the table today isn’t [...]

Media Matters: Marx’s own words aren’t Marxist (you crazy stupid rednecks!)

Media Matters: Marx’s own words aren’t Marxist (you crazy stupid rednecks!)

Once again, Media Matters accuses Glenn Beck of “smearing” a prominent leftist. (As we’ve noted here before, the left has redefined “smearing” to mean “having the nerve to publicize undisputable facts about our friends that make them and us look bad.”)
Last night on his FOX News show, Glenn Beck reminded viewers that Andy Stern — [...]

Media Matters: Where Every Night is Amateur Night

Media Matters: Where Every Night is Amateur Night

Eric “the Excitable” Boehlert’s attempts to be witty and insightful are the moral equivalent of, say, Betty Friedan re-enacting Sophia Loren’s striptease in Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
The Media Matters scribe habitually grasps onto the flimsiest conceit, then “pole dances” all over it with the grace of a one-legged sloth with a Vicodin habit.
Today, his “gotcha” [...]

AP goes to eleven! (Now with ‘don’t tug on Superman’s cape’ update)

AP goes to eleven! (Now with ‘don’t tug on Superman’s cape’ update)

After petulantly shrugging off media fascination with Sarah Palin’s new book two days ago — “who cares?” — Media Matters now features the book front and center on its homepage, and gloats:
AP fact-checks Palin’s Going Rogue
Now: I’ve noted here before that it takes three (count ‘em!) employees of the George Soros Steno Pool to tackle [...]

Rachel Maddow can see a Talk Radio Show From Her House

Rachel Maddow can see a Talk Radio Show From Her House

In my other capacity as a conservative talk radio re-capper, I’m obliged to keep “an ear” on goings-on over at the left side of the dial. Luckily, Radio Equalizer Brian Maloney listens to leftist talk radio (such as it is) so the rest of us don’t have to.
Yesterday, Maloney caught MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow describing herself [...]

Media Matters Pushes ‘Anti-Muslim Hate Crime’ Myth

Media Matters Pushes ‘Anti-Muslim Hate Crime’ Myth

“Anti-Muslim hate crimes” are apparently soaring, but don’t worry: those crack investigators at the George Soros Steno Pool otherwise known as Media Matters are on the case.
And they’re angry at Rush Limbaugh for daring to mock this epidemic of violence:

Referring to remarks by Gen. George Casey regarding potential backlash against Muslims in the military in [...]

What keeps Oliver Willis up at three in the morning?

What keeps Oliver Willis up at three in the morning?

Today’s leftists are convinced that harmless adjectives are actually coded curse words. If you describe someone as “gay” or “black,” even if that happens to be a relevant aspect of your story, you’re a “homophobe” or a “racist.”
Such pointless gnostic “code breaking” helps leftists conveniently avoid dealing with real social problems, while providing them with [...]

Media Matters thinks all Black Women are Maids or Something

Media Matters thinks all Black Women are Maids or Something

The Media Matters “Racist Right Wing Meme Generator” must be in the shop.
Desperate for something, anything, to write about, the George Soros Steno Pool has been reduced to mining talk show host Neal Boortz’s Twitter feed. They came up with this:
Maxine Waters says Social Security and Medicare are “strong.” How do idiots like this get [...]

Media Matters Attacks ‘Right Wingers’ for ‘Attacking American Muslims’ after Muslim Attacks Americans

Media Matters Attacks ‘Right Wingers’ for ‘Attacking American Muslims’ after Muslim Attacks Americans

In a world gone mad, be grateful the George Soros Steno Pool at Media Matters has its priorities straight.
Thirteen Americans have been murdered by a home grown Islamic terrorist and traitor, but for Media Matters, that’s another precious opportunity to scold their racist, redneck countrymen for asking uncomfortable questions.
Today’s Media Matters’ headline declares: “Right-Wing Media [...]

Media Matters: three “tippy tappy typists” vs. the “One Man Content Provider”

Media Matters: three “tippy tappy typists” vs. the “One Man Content Provider”

I write a weekly “talk radio watch” column for another website. All by myself, I listen to the big conservative talk radio shows, then assemble audio highlights and news bytes for folks who can’t keep up with Rush, Beck and company.
I only mention this because, in a bizarre inverse ratio, it evidently takes not one, [...]

Media Matters: Black Man Beat Himself up or Something

Media Matters: Black Man Beat Himself up or Something

It’s bad enough Eric Boehlert stole Mark Steyn’s putdown for his Media Matters colleagues, a.k.a., “George Soros Steno Pool.”
“Conspiracy stenographer Matthew Vadum types up the nonsense for David Horowitz’s Newsreal,” types Boehlert, in a refreshingly typo-lite post.

Vadum had wondered why police still hadn’t charged union thugs for beating anti-Obamacare protester Kenneth Gladney back in August. [...]

Sour grapes: Media Matters still flogging dead “Beck boycott” story

Sour grapes: Media Matters still flogging dead “Beck boycott” story

Credit where credit is due: as of 10 AM ET today at least, Media Matters has refrained from making jokes about the emergency appendectomy that’s temporarily forced Glenn Beck off the airwaves. (Keeping with the spirit of Beck’s show, his producer, Stu, has no such qualms…)
However, the George Soros Steno Pool insists on running a [...]
