Lying leftist liars stonewall about their lies

Posted by Jim Addison · Published: October 11, 2007 · Comments (9)

After The New Republic published purported "Iraq diaries" by an active-duty deployed soldier, Scott Beauchamp, which swiftly proved implausible and unverifiable, they promised a swift investigation into the matter. Since then, they have stonewalled. They blamed the Army for keeping the Private incommunicado during the official investigation, leaving the impression... [Full Story]

Harry Reid Steps In It

Posted by Paul · Published: October 1, 2007 · Comments (91)

Harry Ried officially bit off more than he can chew. He went after Rush Limbaugh saying he insulted the troops with his "phony soldiers" comments. That was a tactical mistake. Reid has a long and storied history of insulting our troops, their commanders and being a lapdog of the anti-war... [Full Story]

Greenspan Overspun

Posted by Paul · Published: September 17, 2007 · Comments (31)

I commented yesterday that Greenspan's line about the Iraq war being for oil was probably taken out of context. I also said the only thing we knew for sure about the book is that it would be spun... I misunderestimated the media. It was overspun. To the point that Greenspan... [Full Story]

BBC for Kids: U.S to blame for 9/11

Wow. Just Wow. The BBC set up a website to explain 9/11 to children. One section (after they define Al Qaeda in non-judgmental terms) is, Why did they do it? Now you would expect an explanation of radical beliefs... You'd be wrong: The way America has got involved in conflicts... [Full Story]

Bad Journalism 101

Posted by Paul · Published: September 9, 2007 · Comments (21)

Journalism isn't that hard. It is routinely taught to Freshman high school students. Yet, somehow when it comes to making accusations against the Bush administration, the simply task of reporting the news becomes an insurmountable obstacle. The leftwing blogs are atwitter with the latest "scandal." US bribe insurgents to fight... [Full Story]

AP Strikes Back at Bloggers, Defends 'Burning Six' Stories

Posted by Paul · Published: December 8, 2006 · Comments (45)

The AP released a really quite pathetic statement defending themselves in the 'Burning Six' story. Pathetic. Penned by one Kathleen Carroll, executive editor and senior vice president of AP, it reads more like a high school kid wrote it. I'm tempted to go line by line, but the reply is... [Full Story]
