Sometimes, even in innocuous posts, the writers at National Review Online reveal their true nature. Take for example this seemingly harmless excerpt from a post by Mike Potemra at National Review Online: Coincidentally, I have over the past couple of months been watching DVDs of Star Trek: The Next Generation, a show I missed completely in its run of 1987 to … Read More
More Fox Flubs
This still hasn't been fixed as I write this, so if you click, you still might catch it. Anyway, read this poll from the Fox News website, and see if it makes sense to you: They've got their biased leading answers backwards, no?
Our National Discourse
You know the state of political journalism is in sorry shape when you read things like this: This morning, Gore appeared on MSNBC, where Andrea Mitchell read from Sarah Palin's Facebook page to ask the former vice president questions about climate change. I'm getting a lot of use out of this graphic:
More Fox Flubs
Isn't it funny how the "mistakes" that Fox makes always seem to err against Obama or liberals? Here's a clip from yesterday in which Obama announces that the TARP bailout cost U.S. taxpayers $200 billion less than we originally thought. That's good news, right? The bailout's addition to the deficit is $200 billion lower? Still, Fox can't get it right. … Read More
Charles Johnson Makes It Official
The New York Times is supposedly writing a story on this, and I too have touched on it before. To wit, the slow transformation of Charles Johnson from prominent right-wing blogger into… well… something sane. Yesterday, he made it official in a post on his blog, Little Green Footballs, entitled Why I Parted Ways With The Right: 1. Support for … Read More
Fox News Won’t Tolerate “Mistakes” Anymore
After a couple of days of questionable "mistakes" with its news programming (see here), Fox News’s management has issued a memo declaring that “Effective immediately, there is zero tolerance for on-screen errors”: Effective immediately, there is zero tolerance for on-screen errors. Mistakes by any member of the show team that end up on air may result in immediate disciplinary action … Read More
Fox News: Worst TV News Ever
Perhaps some of you are aware of the fact that Jon Stewart — a guy on a comedy channel — last week caught Fox News showing false footage. In a news story about the Tea Bag rally held by Backmann (attended by a few thousand at best), Fox showed footage of the 9/12 rally (attended by tens of thousands), passing … Read More
Bye Lou
Lou Dobbs, August 14: It's just killing the left wing in this country that they can't force CNN to fire me. Lou Dobbs, today: …..
Symbolic Tea Party Protest Going Symbolically Wrong
So the tea partiers boarded the corporate-sponsored buses to come to Washington DC today to let their Congressmen know that they don't want socialism blah-blah-blah. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn, who fell out of the right wing crazy tree and hit every branch on the way down, was the one who called for the protest. She's not known for her truthfulness when … Read More
Mike Adams, UNC Professor and Townhall Blogger
SHORTER MIKE ADAMS: America's downfall is eminent, as evidenced by these emails I've written which reflect how much my students hate listening to my lectures.
What’s “For Now” At Avenue Q Now
Last March, I wrote about the show Avenue Q and how they had to change their lyrics in the song "For Now". One of the lyrics was "George Bush is only 'for now'", but of course, with the Obama relection, there was some question about what to do with that line. The Broadway show settled for "George Bush WAS only … Read More
The White House vs. Fox News
So many people are covering this — I have little to add. For those not paying attention, the Obama White House is openly condemning Fox News for its biased reporting. Fox News is crying foul. In the latest volley, Fox News is claiming that the White House doesn't know the difference between its opinion programming (Beck, Hannity, etc.) and actual … Read More
Football Logic
Shorter every single rightwing website right now: Was civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers ever denied the right to purchase an NFL franchise? Hellz, no! So why can't Rush? Because of racism!!! Okay, not all are saying that. But you have some really over-the-top whines. This, by far, is the most WTF of them all: Earlier this evening, as most of … Read More
