Dallas Morning News Bias on GM Bailout Reporting

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

The Dallas Morning News yesterday displayed classic liberal bias in reporting on the GM bailout that was rejected by Congress. Here is the most egregious line:
Opponents of the bailout cited figures showing that U.S. autoworkers make $70 an hour.
I have been following the GM bailout debate, and I have yet to see a single [...]

MSNBC Producer is Impressive (Not)

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

MSNBC is often criticized for having a liberal bias. I don’t watch it much because I can’t stand Keith Olbermann. Okay, so how do those advanced liberals running MSNBC act behind the scenes? Listen to this producer caught on audio show his sensitive side.

I was just wondering about him calling the woman journalist a [...]

Palin vs. Obama Interview by Charles Gibson

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

In my last post I wrote about the double standard in the MSM’s treatment of Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama. Palin is being relentlessly examined, questioned, and criticized while Obama just goes about his business. Regarding the ABC interview of Palin by Charles Gibson, it should be pointed out that Gibson also interviewed Obama. Writer [...]

Mainstream Media Bias and Obama

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

In my last post I wrote Long Live the MSM. I certainly didn’t mean that the major media institutions are fault free. Journalists in the major news media tend to fall into a pattern of group think. This can create a general slant in their reporting - even if they believe on an individual basis [...]

Long Live the MSM

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Instapundit links to this video blog piece today by Ed Driscoll. It is somewhat interesting, but I guess I just don’t get the main point …

Many bloggers talk, like Ed Driscoll, as if the mainstream media is a dinosaur that will soon go away (and many even rejoice at this). Yes, many big media companies [...]

William F. Buckley, RIP

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

William F. Buckley died today, and I was very sorry to hear this. Back in the 1980s when I first took an interest in the conservative movement, I began reading National Review. This magazine, and its founder William Buckley, had a very large influence on me. Here for the first time I could get well-reasoned [...]

Media Bias Favors Democrats

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Will Franklin writes:
The Project for Excellence in Journalism, affiliated with the Pew Research Center, has produced a highly illuminating study on bias in the media. They teamed up with Harvard’s Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy to objectively analyze campaign media coverage in America this year.
Now, Pew and Harvard are not [...]

IQs of the Great Apes Close to Humans?

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

Some claims in both the MSM and the blogosphere get repeated over and over as if they are proven facts without any reference to the source of these facts. An example that I have found is about a gorilla named Koko who is supposed to have a measured IQ between 75 and 95. If this [...]

Barak Obama, Race Crimes, and How Black is Black

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

Gateway Pundit quotes from tomorrow’s 60 Minutes interview with Barak and Michelle Obama where Mrs. Obama says:
“I don’t lose sleep over it because the realities are that… as a black man… Barak can get shot going to the gas station.”
So I guess we live in the old south, still. Hmm, I haven’t been hearing about [...]

Need A Raise? Increase Outsourcing

Friday, August 25th, 2006

The world is never as simple as it may seem:
JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming (Reuters) - Take that, Lou Dobbs. Despite much handwringing and political posturing, the surge of job outsourcing, by increasing productivity, has actually helped raise real wages for low-skilled U.S. workers, according to two Princeton University economists.
They countered critics of outsourcing, including high-profile [...]

Double Standard for Terrorists

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Mark Steyn:
But, when an army goes to war against a terrorist organization, it’s like watching the Red Sox play Andre Agassi: Each side is being held to its own set of rules. When Hezbollah launches rockets into Israeli residential neighborhoods with the intention of killing random civilians, that’s fine because, after all, they’re terrorists and [...]
