VIDEO: ABC reports 12 revisions to Benghazi talking points - designed to scrub terrorism
By Robert Laurie Friday, May 10, 2013
First, NBC outed Democrat attempts to destroy the Benghazi whistleblowers, now ABC News is shredding the official White House version of events. It’s starting to look like the President’s media lapdogs have finally been shamed into exposing their favorite administration.
VIDEO: Democrats calling media looking for help undermining Gregory HicksBy Dan Calabrese Friday, May 10, 2013
The fact that Lisa Myers goes on Morning Joe and actually tells us about it, rather than just taking the marching orders, might be an indication that the media fears for its own credibility if it keeps whitewashing this thing.
The Media Runs DefenseBy Alan Caruba Thursday, May 9, 2013
On May 8th as the House committee hearing about the Benghazi attack occurred, you could have tuned through every major network with the notable exception of Fox News and (a) not found any coverage or (b) found so little coverage that you would not even have known it was occurring. Even C-SPAN dropped the ball, devoting that time period to the blathering in the Senate.
In a chart put forth by the Media Research Center, the disparity should be an embarrassment to MSNBC and CNN, but it clearly is not. In their view, Americans should not be informed of the way the U.S. ambassador in Libya and three defenders were completely abandoned by the White House, State Department, Department of Defense, and the CIA. One could have sat in the White House situation room and watched the attack as it took place.
AP taunts GOP: You can’t make us turn on Hillary, suckersBy Dan Calabrese Thursday, May 9, 2013
I know how it seems. You watch these hearings - especially the devastating testimony of Gregory Hicks - and you think, “There’s no way Hillary escapes this unscathed.”
American Pravda, a Nation of Lawbreakers and Benghazigate
By Doug Patton Thursday, May 9, 2013
Louis Brandeis, who served on the United States Supreme Court from 1916 to 1939, once warned, “Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”
Media Cross the Line Against Glenn BeckBy Cliff Kincaid Thursday, May 9, 2013
“Beck Crosses the Line Again” was the headline over a Jonathan Tobin Commentary article about Glenn Beck’s attack on Michael Bloomberg at the NRA convention. Tobin insisted that Beck “spoke in front of a large backdrop that photo-shopped Bloomberg’s face into what appears to be a famous photo of Adolf Hitler.”
MSNBC: Open U.S. borders to decrease Islamic terrorismBy Robert Laurie Wednesday, May 8, 2013
When you have a one word name, like ‘Cher’ or ‘Roseanne,’ there’s good chance you’re already operating with somewhat less than all your marbles. However, most of those people aren’t given a prominent spot on an allegedly major news network. Touré is an exception to the rule.
Bill Ayers and His Media GroupiesBy Cliff Kincaid Wednesday, May 8, 2013
Bill Ayers’ claim that the Weather Underground bombed property, not people, in order to protest the Vietnam War, is two lies in one. First, they specialized in anti-personnel bombs using heavy metal staples. Second, Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn were not opposed to the war, only to a U.S. victory.
Someone call John Hughes: AP blames ‘teen angst’ for Boston bombings
By Dan Calabrese Monday, May 6, 2013
Your angst-ridden teen cuts, or dresses in black, or plays weird video games. The Tsarnaev brothers?
Boom.
The Muslims the Media Doesn’t SeeBy Daniel Greenfield Monday, May 6, 2013
The media coverage of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has one theme and one tack. Like 30 of the 31 men on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list, they were terrorists who just happened to be Muslim.
Our Un-News MediaBy Bruce Walker Monday, May 6, 2013
In the old Soviet Union the oppressed subjects of regime had a phrase used to describe the news media: “There’s no Pravda in Izvestia and there’s no Izvestia in Pravda.” In Russia, “Pravda,” the leading Communist Party periodical, means “Truth” and “Izvestia,” the principal state periodical, means “News.” The phrase meant that in Pravda there was no news and that in Izvestia there was no truth.
It’s High Time for Common Sense Media ControlBy Mike Jensen Sunday, May 5, 2013
-Satire
“The pen is mightier than the sword.” The phrase was penned by British novelist Edward Bulwar-Lytton in 1839. The idea, of course, is that the written and spoken word can bring about both more good and more evil than can weapons of war.
