Another Example of Media Bias

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Careful guys, your bias is showing.
I wonder if anyone has saved actual copies of newspapers from these dates? That’s be an interesting piece. [via Right U R]

Post Admits to Obama Bias, World Says ‘No Doy’

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

From the FRC comes this startling completely expected report that there’s bias as the Washington Post. To be fair, I should say it’s surprising to hear them admit it.
Now that the election is over, the Washington Post would like to get something off its chest. In an article today that read more like a confession, [...]

When Is News Not News? When It’s Wrong

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

I’ve been blogging since 1996. Back then we just called it regular updates. Anyway, as a member of the informal media, it’s pretty disparaging to find stories like this wear apparently reputable news organizations completely screw the pooch.
WOWK-TV in Huntington… consider your reputation soiled.

Burt Brady Welcomes Soldiers Home

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

I’m sure a lot of you have already seen this clip. It’s because of things like this that I’m glad I have a blog to spread the good word. Burt Brady is a hero to me.
I also want to thank ABC for broadcasting the story. If we bash them for all the negative stories, we [...]

Straight From the Soldiers Mouth, aka Reporting As It Should Be

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

Great stuff! Congrats to Richard Engle of NBC for having the stones to report. Spread the word bloggers! [via Brutally Honest]

Accountability Essential for Quality

Thursday, January 11th, 2007

As anyone who’s visited a message board or the comments section of a blog, you’ll understand that anonymity breeds extremism. It brings out the basest of human attributes.
What made me want to post on this topic? Well, after reading To delete Wikipedia entry or not to delete?, it’s clear to me that the Wiki [...]

Media Cheating on Couric Photos

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

Now we’ve got another example of the Media lying to us with pictures—this time with Katie Couric. You’d think that after they’ve been caught many times, they’d quit. But no, they’re a persistent lot.
If you’re as upset with the injustic as I am, you might want to contribute to the Media Research Center.

Media Kowtows to Muslim Terrorists

Monday, August 28th, 2006

As usual the FRC gets it right concerning the recent release of the two Fox network journalists:
I must take issue with the headline in today’s Washington Times, however. The Capital’s conservative paper shows the freed journalist smiling and labels them: “FREE AND UNHARMED.” You are not unharmed when you are held at gunpoint for nearly [...]

Cuban’s Shareslueth

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

I’m a big fan of Cuban. Probably because he’s a bright guy who says what he means and if you can’t handle it, tough. Because his net worth is so astronomically high, he doesn’t have a problem getting fined $500,000 for post-game comments about the sorry state of affairs with the NBA referee system.
His latest [...]

Global Warming: Truth, Junk Science or a Media Heyday

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

Another great blurb from the good folks at the FRC:
Today’s Washington Post provides us a textbook case of the politicization of science and the bias of reporting. “More Frequent Heat Waves Linked to Global Warming,” blares the scary headline splashed across page A3, the day after D.C. temperatures peaked at 101. Sounds menacing. Pay no [...]

Media Misleads about Stem Cell Research

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

From the Family Research Council:
The Kansas City Star should have its star taken away. The paper tells readers: “Opponents of early stem-cell research” are building a grassroots network to fight against Missouri’s ballot proposal that would permit cloning of human beings. The ballot proposal falsely claims to be a “ban” on human cloning but would [...]

2006 Election Issues

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

When you look at the following two lists, what comes to mind?

Iraq War
gas prices
immigration
prescription drugs
corruption in business

defending marriage
abortion
safety from terrorism
judicial tyranny
freedom of religion

To me, one contains the most important issues of our time, the other contains what the media is telling us is the most important. Can you tell which is which?

Drawing the Line on Decency

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

It’s all a matter of degrees. Can they say “bitch” but not “bastard”? Of course the F-word is off-limits… or should it be? Implied sexual content? Partial nudity? What kind of violence is acceptable and what is not? Everything is debateble, right?
Well, the Jack Valenti doesn’t even agree with the premise. He wants no line [...]

Journalists Mislead Americans Regarding ‘Roe’

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

Do most American’s really understand what Roe v. Wade was about? I’m not sure they do. In this AP story, the author writes:
A solid majority long have felt that Roe v. Wade should be upheld. Yet most support at least some restrictions on when abortions can be performed. Most think having an abortion should be [...]

Richard Scarry Get’s the PC Treatment

Thursday, December 22nd, 2005

Every book up for a re-release could use a few updates, I guess. Just check and see how many of the changes from the 1963 version to the 1991 version are chronicled are motivated by political-correctness. How dare Mother Rabbitt be seen in the kitchen! [via Lileks]
