Wow. I said it the other day and I say it again. What in the world is come over Charles Krauthammer? Some of you guys said he sees the "writing on the wall". Maybe. However, this is the 3rd time in the last few days that I've counted where he's made some really refreshing commentary. First he says Gov. Sarah Palin has a good chance of winning the Presidental election & he didn't diss her. Then, he slammed Obama for "summoning" the Speaker of the House to the White House and schooled Obama that the three branches of government are...

The liberal bias of the mainstream media tilts so far left that any outlets not in that political lane, like the Drudge Report and Fox News Channel, look far more conservative than they really are, according to a UCLA professor's new book out next month. In a crushing body blow to the pushers of the so-called "Fox Effect," which claims the conservative media is dragging the left into the center, UCLA political science professor Tim Groseclose in Left Turn claims that "all" mainstream news outlets have a liberal bias in their reporting that makes even moderate organizations appear out of...

A chief Republican critic of a controversial U.S. anti-gun-trafficking operation was briefed on ATF’s “Fast and Furious” program last year and did not express any opposition, sources familiar with the classified briefing said Tuesday. Rep. Darrell Issa (Calif.), who has repeatedly called for top Justice Department officials to be held accountable for the now-defunct operation, was given highly specific information about it at an April 2010 briefing, the sources said. Members of his staff also attended the session, which Issa and two other Republican congressmen had requested. Fast and Furious targeted Mexican gun traffickers but was linked to the killing...

Inside story of Michelle's trip First lady took Spain vacation with 'a dear friend' whose father recently died Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha returned from Spain on Sunday, a vacation at a lavish hotel on the Mediterranean coast that triggered her first controversy since becoming first lady. I'm told she made the trip because she promised one of her closest friends, a longtime Chicago pal who just lost her father, she would spend time with her.

What is worse about Obama’s message today? That he obviously wants to change the US Constitution, or that he thinks we are all stupid? I want to share with you the email i received from Barack Obama’s Organizing for America. Yesterday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that corporations can spend freely in federal elections. It’s a green light for a new stampede of special interest money in our politics, giving their lobbyists even more power in Washington. Now, every candidate who fights for change could face limitless attacks from corporate special interests like health insurance companies and Wall Street...

It's final. I've talked to some Freepers and we have decided to boycott CNN. You may ask why them and not MSNBC (which is more liberal) or someone else. Well, CNN is more standard and it seems like everyone in this nation takes this giant news outlet at face value. It's time we attack and attack now. Read on...

We all agree that the media really went out of their way of making Obama look like Christ Himself. They would look the other way if he did something wrong...but criticized McCain/Palin to the bitter end. We need to take some action. Let's start with CNN.Click Here to Read the Rest...

I knew CNN was bias - but WOW! I was looking at one of CNN's web page...it was called "iReport".

Mainstream media forgot how to spell Muslims Scoop! Africa was not is not by nature "Muslim" The recent bloody 'ramadan' festivities in Liberal Europe, such as setting ablaze a disabled woman among other vicious rampage by the well organized Muslim thugs through Imams & other "adults", was quickly blurred, even masked.Journalists have found so rapidly the cosmetic formula, no "Muslims", or "Arabs", some "people" from a "continent". When did Muslims became N. Africans, or worse, N. Africans as all "Muslims"? When Terrorists became "insurgents".When mass murderers became "guerilla fighters".When Hamas has also a 'political' wing (whatever that means).When violent...

It all started in 1988. President Ronald Reagan's second term was ending, Americans were ready to launch the presidency of George H.W. Bush, and in Sacramento, California, a "loveable little fuzzball" stepped behind a microphone, replacing Morton Downey, Jr, and giving us his brand of conservative truth. It was astonishing. It was exhilarating. And it was unheard at the time. Before 1988, Americans had been treated with the nightly news from the "Big Media." The "Big Media" owned the airwaves of our televisions. Every morning, noon, and night we were fed stories, pictures, and commentary from a leftist press. A...

Hey everybody, Crissy on Hardball going after Zell and Zell giving him hell!

According to a Kerry campaign source, senior campaign advisers tasked two Washington-based campaign staffers to vet the recently published Unfit for Command. "The purpose was to compare what that book had with what we had on file from Senator Kerry," says the campaign source, who said that the research project developed more than 75 instances where Kerry's recollections, previous remarks, or writings conflicted with the book's reporting. "We took some of the most glaring examples, like the Christmas in Cambodia story, and presented them to senior staff, and we assume that those things were put in front of Senator Kerry,"...

Anti-Israel bias 'destroying credibility'. Fundamental precepts of honest reporting have been abandoned, Israel Asper saysPervasive anti-Israel bias in the media is a "cancer" that is destroying much of the media's credibility and eroding support for the Jewish state, CanWest Global founder Israel Asper says. In a hard-hitting denunciation of media coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict, Asper charged that "much of the world media ... have abandoned the fundamental precepts of honest reporting." None of the major media call "the so-called Al Aqsa uprising or intifada" what it really is, Asper said, describing it as "the current version of the Arab...
