WaPo Was Trying To Sell What…? »

By Ani on Jul 3, 2009 in Backfire, Backtrack Obama, Barack Obama, MSM, President Barack Obama, Washington Post | 44 Comments

This has got to be read to be believed. I know that the Washington Post is hard up for cash, but as Politico reports:
Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth said today she was canceling plans for an exclusive “salon” at her home where for as much as $250,000, the Post offered lobbyists and association executives [...]

Fellow NQ writer, LisaB, has covered the issue of the SCOTUS and the New Haven Firefighters, but this video contained information I had not previously heard:

So, there WERE African Americans and Hispanics who passed the exam, too, something previously unreported. As Mr. Ricci said, the press did NOT do its job, accepting as fact [...]

the obama effect…? »

By American Girl in Italy on Jun 23, 2009 in Ahmadinejad, Mahmoud, Current Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Iran, John McCain, Media Handling of Story, Obama Administration, Sara in Italy, World News | 85 Comments

I have been following the coverage of Iran this past week, listening to both sides, those who think Obama is setting the right tone by staying out of it, and those who think he is not being strong enough - basically voting present. Now, I assume that Obama is listening to many experts, people who [...]

(bumped up from yesterday)
As some of you know, my mother suffered a stroke recently. I am currently in my home town spending time with her and getting her house in order. As a result, I rushed a recent post on “DADT” I wrote in order to get to the nursing center in a timely [...]

I was reading my local paper and came across an article that disturbed me greatly, for a number of reasons, which will become clear beginning with the title of the article: “Ex-Teacher Gets 5 Years For Sex With Teen.” My first thought was, “5 years? FIVE? That’s it? For having sex [...]

Say, Mr. President: Do you suppose you could do something for Roxana Saberi BEFORE she dies? Thanks! [Update] »

UPDATE: “Report: U.S. Reporter Held in Iran Hospitalized“: “Reporters Without Borders says the American journalist on a hunger strike for two weeks to protest her imprisonment in Iran was briefly hospitalized after she intensified her fast by refusing to drink water.”
We realize she’s just a woman, and we know already how much they mean to [...]

Tingle Up My Leg Award for Cable News »

By Pat Racimora on Apr 30, 2009 in CNN, Chris Matthews, Fox News, MSNBC, Media | 84 Comments

Fox Cable News reduces its competitors to Lilliputs, who in this reference to Gulliver’s Travels, have been unable to catch Fox sleeping long enough to tie it down.
Instead, Fox is the winner of my Tingle Up My Leg Award, named for MSNBC’s Chris “Tweety” Matthews. Unfortunately for Tweety, his show commands [...]

RACHEL MADDOW, MSNBC: (Warning to Rachel: This will sting.)
Any liberal who has blamed the terrible quality of cable news discourse on its domination by conservatives should be reading Bob Somerby’s most recent series of articles on the vapidity of Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show, which has become attracted a great deal of attention from liberal elites [...]

By truthtelling007 on Feb 13, 2009 in Age Discrimination, Arrogance, Arugula (Elitism), Barack Obama, Feminism, Media, Media Handling of Story, NRA | 70 Comments

From time to time, you just have to have fun with the words of some of our most public blowbags. And while they may have a valid point here and there, or even contribute to the greater conversation by being obtuse curmudgeons, TV pundits like Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann or that [...]

Ricks foresees some truly dangerous times in Iraq, when our troops are declining and national elections will be held. He predicts a lot of “little Saddams” who will cause trouble and “politics waged violently” by Iraqis who we (the U.S.) trained. He lays out the limitations of what we can do in Afghanistan. Ricks also [...]

The Honeymoon Continues »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Feb 5, 2009 in Barack Obama, Chris Matthews, George Bush, Jay-Z, John F. Kennedy, MSM, MSNBC, Media Bias, Media Handling of Story | 24 Comments

I came across this article on Tuesday by Jonah Goldberg, “Day 15 of Obama’s honeymoon“: One doesn’t have to break a sweat searching for examples of the news media’s ongoing love affair with our president. In this, he is like FDR. I have to say, on some levels it was reassuring. Apparently, the [...]
