Rathergate 2.0 – the media’s desperate attempt to do ANYTHING to smear Republican candidates, Gingrich specifically.

20 January, 2012 (21:28) | 2012 Elections, Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

Back in the 2004 elections the Rathergate episode definitively demonstrated that the mainstream media, Fox News excluded, had turned into little more than the propaganda arm of the Democrats and the Left in general. In what remains quite clear to many Americans as a deliberate action, CBS News and specifically Dan Rather accepted at face [...]

Don’t tell us, NY Magazine, tell the NYT

23 January, 2011 (11:51) | Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

The article is titled, “This Time, for Gabrielle Giffords’s Sake, Let’s Not Get Ahead of Ourselves.” Nice sentiment. Perhaps they should be directing that at the New York Times, the Huffington Post, and the myriad of other left-leaning blogs and publications that damned near outran their own shoes getting ahead of themselves to lay blame [...]

Olbermann out: MSNBC will not renew host’s contract.

22 January, 2011 (11:22) | Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy: MSNBC host Keith Olbermann announced Friday that he is leaving the network and has taped his last “Countdown” show. MSNBC issued a statement that it had ended its contract with the controversial host, with no further explanation. Olbermann hosted the network’s most popular show, but his combative liberal [...]

Gore now says corn ethanol “a mistake”, that he only support subsidies for political gain.

22 November, 2010 (17:05) | Economy, Energy, Environment, Human Interest, Politics, Science, Technology, The Media | By: ricjames

It’s interesting how candid our politicians get when they’re in front of foreign audiences. Al Gore, the global-warming oracle who has pushed the “climate change” agenda for years and who was instrumental in passing legislation creating government subsidies for the production of corn ethanol for fuel, is now on record saying that corn ethanol is [...]

I’m supposed to speak out against Olbermann suspension?

7 November, 2010 (00:19) | Human Interest, Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

Apparently Keith Olbermann, one of MSNBC’s resident Republican/conservative bashers, got suspended this week after it was discovered that he had given monetary donations to Democrat candidates for office. And, apparently, I’m supposed to be outraged or something over this and fire off a nastygram to NBC telling them to keep him on the air. First [...]

What liberal media? Those liberal media…

3 November, 2010 (20:51) | 2010 Elections, Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

Bernie Goldberg writes his usual stellar stuff over at AOL News regarding that whole “angry” meme the Dems and their media allies are pushing: So let’s review: As far as liberal journalists are concerned, when the American people vote for Democrats, it’s because they’re full of hope and want positive change and care about their [...]

Cowabunga! Republican tsunami hits hard and paints the map red. Now what?

3 November, 2010 (12:27) | Politics, The Media, Virginia Politics | By: ricjames

There is no question that it was a stellar night for the Republican Party last evening as we swept across America and changed the power equation in Washington, DC. As of this moment, the House of Representatives has gone from a 255-seat Democrat majority to a 239-seat Republican majority. There are still races too close [...]

Eight misdirections the “Campaign for America’s Future” wants to push prior to election day

26 October, 2010 (10:55) | 2010 Elections, Politics, The Media, Virginia Politics | By: ricjames

As I mentioned earlier today, the MSM is certainly doing all they can to paint the Dem’s situation in the most positive of lights. It should come as no surprise, then, that the various leftish organizations seeking to continue the Dem’s hold on Congress would be coming up with their own stuff. From a link [...]

In spite of the MSM’s attempts to create a Dem upswing out of thin air, the AP poll shows GOP enthusiasm growing

24 October, 2010 (15:12) | 2010 Elections, Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

From Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: Although you have to look hard for it, the latest AP/GfK poll shows that the enthusiasm gap is continuing to grow in the final two weeks of the midterm election cycle.  Despite sampling problems — such as an eleven-point gap in identification of Obama/McCain supporters when Obama won by [...]

The MSM’s “tardy-to-the-party” realization that Obama lacks the experience for his current position is starting to dawn

12 October, 2010 (08:16) | 2010 Elections, Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

I noticed over the long weekend an interesting development. It seems components of the MSM – for a long time, now, strong advocates of Team Obama – are starting to wake up to the realization that The One looks to be in over his head. This is from Mark Halperin of Time: Barack Obama is [...]
