The West as Nuclear Proliferator

Posted on December 9, 2008 by Lee

Countering Palin

Posted on September 4, 2008 by Lee

The New York Times is reporting that Obama is developing a plan for all-female rapid-response teams to be sent around the country in an effort to counter Palin as she travels. A wise move.

Smarty Pants

Posted on August 18, 2008 by Peg

Every day, Professor Keith Burgess-Jackson reprints a Letter to the Editor from the New York Times. This offering left me gape-jawed. The Professor’s first point is well-taken. Where is the evidence that Barack Obama is more intelligent than John McCain? … Continue reading →

Sheesh!

I would call this ignorance, but it is worse than that. The Times reporters just believe corporations are such a honey pot they didn’t even stop to think. They just wrote.

Policy Recommendations for the Demented

The Origin of Messages

Posted on July 31, 2008 by Lee

(photo: photosan0) Yesterday I suggested that it was unwise for Obama to have titled and predicated a video on a line from a rather slanted New York Times editorial, given the growing public perception of media bias in his favor. … Continue reading →

Touring the Low Road

Posted on July 31, 2008 by Lee

The Obama campaign has a new video response to McCain. It’s an interesting approach. The heart of the ad is the beginning, in which quotes from major pro-Obama media editorials are superimposed over McCain, calling his (unspecified) criticism “baseless,” “baloney,” … Continue reading →

Fair and Balanced

Posted on February 28, 2008 by Peg

Many of my liberal friends believe that the line “Fox News; Fair and Balanced” is a joke. I happen to think it’s pretty accurate, but – who knows? Perhaps it is indeed my bias that lends me to that opinion. … Continue reading →

Citizen McCain

Dirty Lying Liberal Media

Smearing McCain

Posted on February 21, 2008 by MichaelW

I am not a fan of John McCain, but the rumor-based smear leveled at him by the New York Times is more than a little unfair. Early in Senator John McCain’s first run for the White House eight years ago, … Continue reading →
