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

How dare Fox News cover Obamessiah critically.  Do they think they are journalists rather than cheerleaders? If only Fox News would do want the Obamessiah wants, abandon journalism like …

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 …

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 …
