DOJ targeted Fox News’ James Rosen as a “co-conspirator” in another leak case

Posted by: ST on May 21, 2013 at 10:12 am » 4 Comments

Turns out, it wasn’t just the Associated Press the DOJ went after, but the administration’s least favorite network Fox News – specifically, James Rosen - for a different “leak” case (bolded emphasis added by me): A Fox News correspondent was accused in a Justice Department affidavit of being a possible criminal “co-conspirator” for his alleged role [...]

 

Where is the national media on the horrific Kermit Gosnell case?

Posted by: ST on April 11, 2013 at 10:22 am » 4 Comments

The under-reporting of this story by the national mainstream media is cause for both alarm and outrage.  You’d think the sheer volume of accusations and candid, shocking testimony was just too big to ignore – but they’ve managed to largely do just that.  Connor Adams Sheets writes in the IB Times: Dr. Kermit Gosnell faces [...]

 

The @AP, like liberals, are playing word games w/ the word “illegal immigrant”

Annoying but entirely predictable (hat tip): The Associated Press, the largest news-gathering outlet in the world, will no longer use the term “illegal immigrant.” The news came in the form of a blog entry authored by Senior Vice President and Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll on Tuesday afternoon, explaining that the decision is part of the company’s on-going attempt [...]

 

#Shocking: Pew study finds 85% of #MSDNC’s content to be opinion commentary

Posted by: ST on March 18, 2013 at 6:58 pm » 5 Comments

My first thought on this was “only 85%”? Via Politico: MSNBC offers viewers far more commentary and opinion than either Fox News or CNN, according to a new study, but all of the big three cable networks are increasingly focused on partisan talk and debate. Opinion filled 85 percent of the content on MSNBC, according [...]

**Posted by Phineas They misquote their own stories to spread administration propaganda: This morning on Politico’s Playbook, [Mike] Allen quoted a story from his own website: “Monday, the bulk of the furlough notices will start going out. … [E]stimates include 12 furlough days at the Bureau of Prisons, 13 at the Environmental Protection Agency and [...]

 

Veil lifted: White House, MSM lapdogs declare war on liberal icon Bob Woodward

Posted by: ST on February 28, 2013 at 10:08 am » 7 Comments

Or I should say “former” liberal icon Bob Woordward. Why? Because the journalist famous for “exposing” Richard Nixon is now busting wide open the phony White House narrative on the sequestration issue, and we just can’t have that. Via Politico (bolded emphasis added by me) : Bob Woodward called a senior White House official last [...]

MRC took a look at the broadcast networks’ news coverage after the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, and what they found is intriguing: MRC analysts reviewed all 216 gun [...]

 

Journalistic integrity at CBS? Not when it comes to competitors…

**Posted by Phineas Or their innovative technology: Recently, I found myself thrust in the middle of a kerfuffle when CBS ordered its subsidiary CNET to remove a product from consideration for a “Best of CES” award at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show. I can never recall any major media company, much less a top-tier First Amendment protector likeCBS, publicly mandating an editorial [...]

 

#MediaBias101: How the Charlotte Observer tries to do your thinking for you (UPDATE: Observer changes headline)

First, the story: During his first campaign for governor in 2008, then-Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory said there was a “culture of intimidation” in state government, with local mayors afraid to question the status quo in Raleigh. Some Charlotte Democrats charged Friday that now-Gov. McCrory is practicing what he once preached against. They said the governor, [...]
