CBS Proudly Accepts AIM’s Award, Despite Controversy
By Roger Aronoff Sunday, February 12, 2012
As reported in a recent posting, Accuracy in Media presented its annual Reed Irvine Media Awards for Investigative and Grassroots Journalism amidst a trumped up controversy reported in The Washington Post, Politico and Big Journalism. Awards were presented to Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News for her investigative reporting on Operation Fast and Furious as well as Solyndra and other “green energy” projects in which the Obama administration has invested Americans’ taxpayer dollars; and Dana Loesch, Editor-in-chief of Andrew Breitbart’s Big Journalism, for her tireless work as a grassroots journalist.
The pro-Democratic Party media watchdog, Media Matters, led the effort to browbeat Attkisson and CBS into backing out of accepting the award. They claim her reporting was shoddy and that CBS shouldn’t allow her to accept an award from a partisan group, as they call Accuracy in Media. Yet as AIM’s Cliff Kincaid recently exposed, the head of Media Matters, David Brock, has created a so-called Democratic “Super PAC” specifically devoted to electing Democrats and defeating Republicans.
Fox News Now Worth $12.4 BillionBy Don Irvine Tuesday, February 7, 2012
Last month Fox News celebrated its tenth consecutive year as the number one cable news channel. Now comes a report that shows just how that ratings success has translated into huge financial gains for the channel’s owner, News Corp.
David Brock Out of the Closet, AgainBy Cliff Kincaid Tuesday, February 7, 2012
It has been apparent for some time that ex-conservative David Brock has been masquerading as a “media critic” while at the service of the Democratic Party. But the head of Media Matters has officially dropped the mask of media critic by creating a so-called Democratic “Super PAC” devoted to re-electing President Obama, adding Democrats to the Senate Democratic majority, and taking back the House of Representatives from the Republicans.

Polk Award-Winning Rolling Stone writer Michael Hastings made a startling set of admissions on CSPAN, recently. Not only did he admit that most “journalists” are liberals, but he implied that they really aren’t interested in just reporting the facts of stories. Instead, he said, they are filled with a liberal “moralistic righteousness” and their goal is to “afflict” those they disagree with.
MSNBC’s Usual Suspects, and Plans for the Democrats to go “Nasty”
By Roger Aronoff Thursday, February 2, 2012
There are so many scurrilous, condescending and false charges on MSNBC on any given day, that it is tough to catalog all of them. The NBC brand, which used to have much higher standards, is being damaged on a daily basis by its cable news division. A few items from MSNBC’s Florida primary analysis demand retractions and corrections, which will likely never come. They don’t care. They are hit men for the Democrats. That’s who they are, that’s what they do.

Honesty in the mainstream media has all but disappeared.
Talk Radio Host Humiliates Black RepublicanBy Bob Parks Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Despite the efforts of the Democrat Party to defeat the Voting Rights Act of 1965, today they openly brag about protecting the rights of all people to vote for the candidate of their choice. However, it’s also quite clear that blacks are the only people in America who are publicly ridiculed should they not vote for candidates Democrats so authorize.
Dumb and Dumber, Watching TVBy Alan Caruba Monday, January 30, 2012
I am pretty sure that, in their heyday, the Three Stooges, were looked down upon as low comedy by some folks. To this day, I still do. The truth is, however, even chimpanzees yuck it up when one of their fellow primates falls out of the tree. Since we share a great deal of our DNA in common with them it should come as no surprise that many people tune into “America’s Funniest Home Videos” to watch other people sustain a variety of injuries and humiliations.
CBS Featured No Pro-Lifers in Photo Essay About Pro-Life Rally
By Warner Todd Huston Monday, January 30, 2012
If you want a case of clear bias, the Washington D.C. affiliate of CBS will surely fill the bill for its bias against pro-life supporters. On January 23 the DC affiliate featured on its website a photo slide show of pictures taken at the March for Life rally held annually at the nation’s capitol. Curiously, though, there wasn’t a single photo of any pro-lifers. Instead the photo essay featured only photos of abortion-supporting protestors that stood on the sidelines taunting the pro-life marchers.

Cliff Kincaid, president of America’s Survival, Inc. (ASI), a public policy organization, is leading a “Bring Back Beck” campaign to return Glenn Beck to the Fox News Channel, where he had a popular program devoted to analyzing current and future events, including the role of hedge fund billionaire George Soros, in the American political environment. Kincaid has produced several articles examining the role of Soros-funded groups in forcing Beck’s departure from the channel last year.
The Drudge DistortBy Matt Barber Friday, January 27, 2012
You’re being manipulated. A well respected, highly influential news source has cast aside all journalistic integrity to shill for the liberal, GOP establishment candidate in this presidential race.
Mr. Beck, If I May?By Rob Cunningham Wednesday, January 25, 2012
Glenn, you have perhaps no bigger fan of your philosophy, nor a more eager consumer of your many books, broadcasts and events, than me. One of the more memorable events in my life was attending your Restoring Honor rally in Washington, D.C., and sharing breakfast with you, several hundred supporters and Gov. Sarah Palin, in support of the Special Operations Warrior Fund. Never will I forget hearing you announce, “Ladies and gentleman, security just notified me that we should all go soon, because the crowd is already filled beyond the reflecting pool.” Thank you for the greatness of your vision and the amazing courage of your convictions.
The emotional turmoil and political strife swirling throughout our beloved country only grows in intensity by the day. The significance of 2012’s monumental election is creating an ever growing wedge between my political reasoning and yours. Our political divergence is something I - and my instincts tell me - millions of your God fearing, patriotic devotees are struggling with as well. Given this assumption, my personal request is simply this: Seek first to understand. Disagree with vigor, but please respect the intelligence, reasoning and conclusions of millions that disagree with you, without caustic sarcasm, demeaning ridicule or elitist derision. The spirit you exemplified on stage during your Restoring Honor rally is not being modeled in the heat of this debate.
