Bingo! The MSM bias only cuts one way. Can you imagine if a Republican threatened the press with loss of access? Not gonna happen and they wouldn’t care anyway. The Dems wield all the power when it comes to the spin of MSM stories.
Apologies to “monsters”. There hasn’t been a word invented that accurately discribes Hillary.
Sheesh. describes. (probably better to dis Hillary anyway)
They were tipped off by dem operatives. That they ran with it without fully vetting the story and the sources shows how they lean but Foloy needed to go and shame on the GOP for not getting rid of him before it was too late.
And give him a wedgie.
I personally think she found out about Obama’s OK-ness with being Hillary’s veep and wanted off the team.
That is COOL!
I stole it from somebody her on FRP, but I love it, in a scary kinda way.
Walter Duranty.
MSNBC's Tucker Carlson had Peev on his show last night and angrily criticized her publication of Power's remarks. Carlson upbraided Peev for her lack of deference to someone as important as Power, and Peev retorted by pointing out exactly what that attitude reflects about Carlson and the American press generally
Good one!
Sea Hag?
I’m sure I did, feel free.
I agree, Foley should not have been allowed to run as a republican. However the msm thinks it’s perfectly ok for 2 elected queer democrats to stay in their elected positions.
Very good post, thank you.
If media played it up the middle without fear or favor, they'd be doing their jobs. Of course, getting the goods on political and criminal actors (too often the same thing) is part of that, too -- but again, without an agenda other than exposure of that which the public ought by right to see.
Which doesn't include military secrets, a point lost on The New York Times long ago, when they decided to publish the Pentagon Papers, which included numerous quotes in extenso from military messages, the divulgence of which without heavy paraphrasing would inevitably help Soviet GRU cryptanalytical researchers attack U.S. cryptosystems. The compilers of the papers had relied on the expectation of their continued classification status when including these sensitive, often top-secret communications, which Dr. Daniel Ellsburg, reporter Neil Sheehan and the Times editors betrayed.
Refresh my memory. Was Duranty an outright asset, like C.P. Snow, Izzy Stone, and CBS reporter Sam Jaffe? Or was he more a useful idiot?
Peter Arnett, the New Zealander, also comes to mind. I know he's despised, but I don't know whether he was also Red, and/or KGB.
Every time I see Carlson, I want to slap him and swipe his lunch money.

Me, too. I could probably take him, too, and I’m an old lady.
