Cutting through the turbulent waters of blog commentary and analysis.

Turns out actual scientific inquiry and study of the temperature of the earth have shown that there is no global warming coinciding with increased carbon-dioxide. There were a few years of warming, but apparently that stopped around 1998. But we keep pumping out ever more carbon dioxide. If the models used to project […]

Picked yourself off the floor yet? Still skeptical? Couldn’t blame you as the "fat is bad" message has been universal from all media and health professionals for 50 years. Turns out it was all based on bad original science, followed by a "cascade effect" where other public opinion makers were increasingly influenced by those before […]

How Pallywood Works

Watch this video clip for clear examples of how the news out of the middle east is blatantly manipulated and then accepted by a willing Western Press.

They admire and promote Jihadism in the tradition of Al Jazira, which is to say they support terrorists and their ideology.  Watch this Vent with Michelle Malkin from HotAir .

Why Hate the NYT?

Hat Tip to NeverYetMelted for the image. 

Yesterday the AP put out such a stunningly biased article in an attempt to sway the public on such a critical subject that the U.S. Senate Committee with jurisdiction over the matter was moved to correct the AP. The AP implied yesterday that U.S. experts in climatology unanimously agreed that Al Gore's movie […]

So the news is out, again, that the elected Iraqi government is offering insurgents amnesty for killing American and Iraqi troops. The deal offered is supposedly this, from The Times in London:
The 28-point package for national reconciliation will offer Iraqi resistance groups inclusion in the political process and an amnesty for their prisoners if […]

The fact that Al Gore is the guy promoting a movie intended to have political impact really ought to tell you something about the nature of the cause.  Like, that it is political in nature.  Not scientific.  Nothing has changed really, only this time he’s trying to use the "global warming" boogyman to force his […]

Many people have this lingering perception that everything is going wrong in the U.S., and especially in Iraq, and that consequently our military MUST be having problems recruiting.  There was a spate of stories a bit over a year ago making that case when the military was missing quotas for a few months, but of […]

If you do much driving around the U.S. you quickly understand that the posted speed limit signs on most major highways are two things:  ridiculously slow given modern car technology and breaking; and consequently, the signs are generally and widely ignored.  This is a bad thing.  Not for the reason people generally think though, which […]

Another fact that the MSM will continue to obscure or hide is the newest report that economic growth numbers had to be increased for the most recent quarter.  GDP growth is at its highest in 2 1/2 years right now.  Here are the main facts as reported by Reuters news service :

The U.S. economy shot […]

Former Clinton Vice President Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth was released today in his clarion Chicken Little like warning of planetary doom due to global warming.  The hype is that it is the scariest movie you will see, and I’m that may be true if you believe the selected and out of context evidence […]

Sinking L.A. Times

Subscription numbers are out for newspapers nationwide showing an average national decline in readership by 2.2%.  The L.A. Times did worst in the last year among the top ten papers, losing 5.4% of its subscribers in the past year and 17.9% in the last two years.  Looks like the LA Times is continuing to […]

If you are just emerging from a time warp entered some time perhaps in the early 1960’s I’ve got a news flash for you:  Hollywood is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary and Propaganda Arm of the International Liberal-Progressive Movement.  I know its hard to believe since just a few years before entering your time warp you […]

The Washington Post printed a front page article entitled Immigration Debate Echos Past that is less than honest with the readers in its selective use of history.  The article is deeply biased.   Here’s the meat of the pro-illegal immigrant open-borders political argument disguised as a history based news report:

The bitter arguments of the past […]

Textbook Media Bias

The real power of those in the news trade is in selecting what is or is not reported.  If you don’t know something happened then for all intents and purposes it didn’t, at least as far as making personal decisions goes.  Like voting for instance.  This is the essence of propaganda and mind control, control […]

Sometimes people say things don’t really mean to say, reveal truths they’d rather not because they don’t understand what it is they have also said besides what they intended.  People let things slip now and then.  Its those moments of candor that you have to grasp if you are to understand what someone is really […]

Good reading over at MEMRI, go read it all but here’s the intro to tease you:

Dr. Ahmad Al-Baghdadi, a reformist Kuwaiti intellectual and political science lecturer at Kuwait University, argues that the Muslims themselves - not bin Laden - are responsible for the rising hatred against them around the world. He says that Muslims […]

Blinding Media Bias

Attempting to define or prove Media Bias often end up being like trying to explain the color blue to someone born blind, its darn near impossible in an age where people seem to be immutably tied to their perspective and blind to all others.  The debate will rage all over and if one has a […]

The American Left is charging up the hill against the Electoral College again and it is going to have the same result as every other time:  none.  Perhaps its the approaching Spring air and this is sort of the Lefty political equivalent of mating season where all the political animals sort of get wild eyed […]

Watching the news industry nowadays is perhaps like watching one of those disaster movies where you as the audience know that if the group just walked a few steps that way through the rain that they’d get to higher ground and not keep losing people to the flood.  Only of course they don’t see that […]

The NYT published a story saying that lawyers, judges, and legislators from various states are upset because there is a "silent" program going on within the Federal Executive branch to enact tort reform.  Translation:  the President’s people are using their lawful powers to change and enforce regulation to reduce the opportunity of lawyers to sue […]

The news keeps coming from multiple sources that unless the developed world acts soon that the Palestinian Authority will very soon go bankrupt and sink the whole situation into chaos.  For those who might not follow the news that much, this is happening because for a time most governments cut off funding them because the […]

Joes Stein of the LA Times, our local newspaper that is the reliable beacon of the Left, has an opinion piece published today that represents the much more honest and open truth about how the Left feels about ’supporting the troops’.  Lets be serious about this, does it really make sense to support troops who […]

Saving the Fourth Estate

The so called ‘Fourth Estate’, the professional media now including both print and broadcast, have had an important place in the fabric of our nation from its inception.   Our Founding Fathers understood that if this experiment in Representative Democracy were to succeed there would have to be free, open, and widely publicized debate so that […]

On his blog Michael Barone has discovered a seeming inconsistency in the logic of the MSM Left in a post discussing the recent James Risen piece:
So that is the New York Times’s idea, or at least this New York Times reporter’s idea, of how democratic representative government should work. Unelected bureaucrats should rule. If the […]

Its an old argument:  Is the media biased to the Left or unbiased like they claim?  The Right says biased, the Left says either no or biased to the Right.  What has been missing has been a systematic examination of the the output of the media to quantify the reality of their bias or lack […]

Like the vast majority of the big media, the Los Angeles Times (LAT) is a dying business.  There have been endless articles written about why the industry as a whole is dying, and they have some merit.  The LAT is a unique beast though and there are others like Patterico and Hugh Hewitt who have […]

Polly Toynbee is a columnist for the leftwing Guardian in the UK, and if you wonder why I would title this post as I did then trundle on over and read her recent article entitled Narnia represents everything that is most hateful about religion.  Since she is so glib about tossing about such terms I […]

Thanks to Betsy’s Page for the link to this post at Camp Katrina highlighting the bias of the NYT.  Go read the full post, here is a short quote:
An accurate account from the New York Times?  Yes.  But it also, quite deliberately, leaves the reader in the dark about the reason why our soldiers were […]
