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 …

Obamessiah Upset All of the Media Are Not His Supporters

It seems that the Messiah is upset that all of the Old Media are not backing him 100%.  The excellent site Newsbusters.org has the story here.

A Tale of Two Shootings

The shooting of a security guard at the Holocaust Memorial on June 10 was a vile and disgusting act. Its perpetrator, if he survives, deserves to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Old Media coverage of the shooting has been extensive. The gunman was the Left’s favorite villain: a white supremacist.  It …

Confirmation of What We Already Knew

Newsbusters today reports that the New York Times killed an October 2008  investigative story on the relationship between ACORN (Associations of Community for Reform Now) and the Obama campaign because it was a “game changer.” According to election fraud lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh, The New York Times decided suddenly to drop all efforts last October to …

Illegal Immigrants Sheltered by the Old Media

It seems that an illegal immigrant, Ingmar Guandique, killed Chandra Levy in 2001 and assualted at least two other women. The story is here. The Old Media debate whether the accused should be labeled an illegal immigrant and most Old Media refuse to term him so, even though he entered the country illegally. Is it …

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, …
