Biased and unbiased reporting

September 4th, 2008 | No Comments

A lot is being made over the Republicans, me included, complaining how biased the media has been.  I could cite evidence all day and night if I felt like it.  I’ll just cite a couple of quickies from my own observations in no particular order: Sarah Palin has been scrutinized mercilessly, criticized, and editorialized relentlessly [...]

Media Double standard?

September 3rd, 2008 | 3 Comments

Several in media have been insinuating that there might be a double standard at play regarding Sarah Palin.  Let’s see.  We’ve had a couple of very recent events to compare.  So, let’s do, shall we? John Edwards ran for President as recently as early this year. He ran on ethics primarily.  He lost but maintained [...]

Why not Condi Rice?

August 29th, 2008 | 1 Comment

Now, my peeps here know how I feel about Condi Rice.  So, I think, smarting from the Obama/Hillary dustup, Anderson Cooper decided to try and turn the wheels on McCain by planting the seed of discontent in folks like me over McCain “snubbing” Condi in the manner of Obama snubbing Clinton.  Two serious differences here that [...]

CNN and that agent of change thing

August 29th, 2008 | No Comments

Immediately after it became known that Sarah Palin would be John McCain’s running mate, CNN ran a poll asking people if they had supported Hillary Clinton if they would now consider McCain/Palin.  Approximately 41% at the last I saw it said yes.  That’s enough to turn this election into a washout for Obama.  So, CNN [...]

Keith Olbermann sees a penis in every monument

August 5th, 2008 | No Comments

Just when I thought it was safe to assume Keith Olbermann was completely nuts, he tops himself.  This is what the pride of the left wing had to say about John McCain’s recent ad featuring two hot young celebs: KEITH OLBERMANN: What about when it backfires? Because it seems like the celebrity ad continues to [...]

Obama vs Obama

August 4th, 2008 | 2 Comments

I heard someone on Foxnews or CNN comment that this election will be moreso a referendum on Obama than an election of competing candidates.  I tend to agree with that given the overwhelming support Obama gets from media.  Now, to me, that’s not as cynical as it sounds.  Part of being a national candidate is [...]

Covering up Nancy Pelosi’s Culture of Corruption, 4-18-08 edition

April 18th, 2008 | No Comments

This is getting pretty near amazing to me.  No sooner than I write about the media doing everything they can to cover up Nancy Pelosi’s Democrat culture of corruption, here comes another example: ARAPAHO, Okla. (AP) — Authorities have charged a western Oklahoma sheriff with coercing and bribing female inmates so he could use them [...]

Covering up Nancy Pelosi’s culture of corruption, part whatever

April 17th, 2008 | 1 Comment

A while back I did a piece quantifying SOME media’s reluctance to out Democrat crooks’ party affiliation.  It was pretty staggeringly obvious.  Something like 3,000+ words and not mentioning any of the crooks were Democrat, two words before they could blurt out the Republican.  Well, those bizarrely obvious figures just keep getting worse.  Here’s today’s [...]

The Not Enough election

February 1st, 2008 | 1 Comment

I went off a while back on Jesse Jackson.  He seemed to think Barack Obama wasn’t black enough.  Then of course, Hillary’s had some issues garnering every single female vote because she’s not womanly enough.  Once Barack was declared the most liberal senator in the United States, Hillary also got the dubious label of not [...]

Who do you trust?

January 22nd, 2008 | No Comments

I find this kind of ironic: The study by Sacred Heart University Polling Institute found 45.4 percent of the respondents think journalists and broadcasters are mostly or somewhat liberal. Just 15.7 percent think they are conservative…… And, as far as which outlet is “most trusted?” FOX News led the way with 27 percent, CNN at [...]
