Have I ever told you about how, back in the Reagan years, my fellow lefties and I used to get drunk and watch “The 700 Club” and make fun of the televangelists?
I have? OK, sorry…
I’ve come a long way, and so has the show, apparently. Defying all cynical liberal expectations, the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) [...]
On April 29, 2010, Barry Obama ignored his Teleprompter and Joe Biden-ed himself. He told a Quincy, Illinois crowd that Americans are too wealthy and should discontinue free-market actions: “We’re [my administration and democrats] not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at [...]
Is anyone in the media pointing out that Obama might be inciting racial violence in Arizona?
Media Matters and the Huffington Post are crowing about the latest Nielson ratings, showing a dip in Glenn Beck’s viewership at Fox News. Media Matters thinks Beck’s weird (and now largely forgotten) hour-long interview with oddball Democrat Congressman Eric Massa in March marked a turning point, although their “logic” escapes me:

The trappings of intellect are in place, the canonical names invoked, the capsule histories recalled, the theories broadly rehearsed.

We know Nancy Pelosi relies on Botox, but how to explain the other twenty million or so?
Last Friday’s event at the Center for American Congress got plenty of attention, after impeached President Bill Clinton restated his belief that Rush Limbaugh was partially to blame for the Oklahoma City bombing. (Limbaugh, in turn, repeated his call [...]
UPDATE: Was the Orlando Sentinel embarrassed by this shoddy hit piece? They have just removed it from their site. Let’s hear it for the last shreds of journalistic integrity. (Thanks to Morgan for the heads-up.)

They call this journalism. “Miami-Dade Transit Drops Anti-Islam ads,” by Jeff Kunerth in the Orlando Sentinel, April 19:

Fifteen years ago today, the morning of the Oklahoma City bombing, I was working at a typical Toronto office. Being a big media company, they had a large wall mounted tv that was always turned to CNN.
When I say “a typical Toronto office,” I mean that about an hour into news coverage of the attack, [...]
