The Daily Beast just can’t get enough of the “extremist!” meme. Today they have not one, but two articles proclaiming that this week’s suicide/plane attack on a Texas office building is a sign of growing far-right mania. Reading Joe Stack’s own manifesto and Michelle Horstman’s reaction to it should provide an antidote for that smear, [...]
Daily Beast names Jon Stewart ‘the Left’s #1 Journalist’
February 19, 2010 By Leave a Comment
A few years ago, in my occasional role as professional “book doctor,” I tried and failed to get my liberal New York author-client to ease off the whole “Jon Stewart is the Walter Cronkite of America’s youth” thing.
It’s so played out, I told him. Stewart’s numbers are one tenth those of Rush Limbaugh’s, making the [...]

Hey, Keith, this is not a rifle!
In his latest great Bob Lee Swagger thriller, I Sniper, author Stephen Hunter has a character state sarcastically, “Someone once defined a newspaper gun story as ’something with a mistake in it.’”
You’d think that if Keith Olbermann was going to mount his high horse, do a superior act and [...]

We’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead. But those whom the deceased viciously smeared deserve to be defended.
Chris Goes Coup-Coup: Matthews Losing His Grip on Reality
February 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Does Chris Matthews think this is a true story?
Liberals liked to accuse Ronald Reagan of being too influenced by movies, but in reality it is more generally Baby Boomer lefties who are apt to derive their worldview from iconic liberal films.
One of those is Seven Days in May. Despite the fact that the United States [...]

In response, The Daily Caller’s Jim Treacher posted a photo gallery of women who work for MSNBC. When he got to Rachel Maddow, Treacher wrote, “Whoops, how did that one get in there? Sorry, man.

Constant Countdown guest and obsequious suckup, Richard Wolffe, along with host Keith Olbermann last night proudly declared themselves to be less sophisticated than — Sarah Palin.

NBC Cafeteria Menu and Racial Stereotyping
February 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment
The above photograph is an NBC Cafeteria sign, in honor of Black History Month. I won’t hold my breath for the ever-deranged Keith Olbermann of MSNBC to make them so, however. Remember, racism, straight up, as Janeane Garofalo likes to bluster, is totally cool as long as you are of the “correct” political stripe. Olby is [...]
