The Destruction of the New York Times

Kyle Smith of the New York Post does a great job of destroying the New York Times’ explanation for why it did not cover the Van Jones story. It is available here.  The NYT argued it didn’t have the people in the Washington Bureau due to the Labor Day holiday.  Then it argued Van Jones …

Life in America as a One Party State

Obama and the Congressional Democrats are not wasting time.  The drive to turn the United States into a socialist country is happening right here, right now.  Overwhelmingly, the Old Media are in accord with this, so there will not be any opposition from those, heretofore, had acted to preserve liberties.  The elite Republicans are in …

The BOmedia: When the President and the Press Are One

One of the reasons why Orwell is so great is that he created so many words which captured central but thus far discrete political concepts, such as thoughtcrime, thoughtpolice, and doublethink. Tuesday’s report at Politico.com revealed that Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, conducts daily conference calls with major players in the Old Media–CNN’s Paul …

President-Elect Messiah Only Takes Easy Questions

Yesterday, President-Elect Messiah refused to answer a question on Rahm Emanuel’s relationship with corrupt Illinois Governor Blago.  The question came from Chicago Tribune reporter John McCormick.  President-Elect Messiah told McCormick not to waste his question on that issue.  Why can’t McCormick be like the reporters at The Washington Post or New York Times or CNN, …

Another Scandal, Another Round of “Name That Party”

When Republicans fall into a scandal, the media have no trouble “naming that party.”  The individual is prominently named as a Republican by the media.  Time and time again. Now with the Democrats, it is different.  The Democrats are loath to mention Party affiliation.  So when the Democratic Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, is arrested …

One Member of Old Media Discovers Bias (Until the Next Time)

Time magazine’s Mark Halperin announces that the Old Media were biased during the 2008 presidential campaign.  Warner Todd Huston has the story here.  Halperin remarked:  “It was extreme bias, extreme pro-Obama coverage.”  His remarks might have been worth something had he made them during the campaign. I have the sense that many Old Media types …
