In his latest piece, ABC News columnist Michael Malone absolutely skewers the mainstream media for debasing and corrupting a once-honorable profession: Editing Their Way to Oblivion: Journalism Sacrificed For Power and Pensions. The traditional media is playing a very, very dangerous game. With its readers, with the Constitution, and with its ...

Does anyone think that if a news crew happened to capture on film a Confederate flag hanging in a John McCain campaign office, the rest of America’s media would just yawn, ignore it, and move on to other things? I’m just asking. MSM Remains Incurious About Obama Volunteer With Che ...

The mainstream media have been almost universally dishonest about Rush Limbaugh’s fundraising for MC-LEF. We pointed out the lies from Reuters and the New York Times yesterday, and Bob Owens has a post about the deceptions being pushed by ABC News: ABC News Credits Dems for Limbaugh Fundraiser; Reporter Botches ...
Reuters finally gets around to covering the Rush Limbaugh-Harry Reid-$2.1M story, and are you surprised at the spin? I’m not: Reid-Limbaugh spat raises $2.1 million for children. No mention of the fact that Limbaugh’s matching the amount dollar for dollar, of course. Their headline is dishonest; it should read, “Reid-Limbaugh ...
As the bidding draws to a close on his ugly smear letter, Harry Reid is now taking credit for raising money for children of fallen soldiers. Rush Limbaugh should know that this letter that they’re auctioning is going to be something that raises money for a worthwhile cause. I ...

Wow. The bidding for the Harry Reid/Rush Limbaugh smear letter is now over $850,000: Original Harry Reid/Rush Limbaugh Smear Letter.

It’s the perfect way to turn around a left-wing smear campaign; Rush Limbaugh put Harry Reid’s original anti-Rush letter up for sale on eBay, and the bidding has now gone over $100,000 ...money that Limbaugh will give to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation, an organization that helps the children ...
The left wing blogosphere, Media Matters, and the mainstream media have all joined forces to promote one of the most astonishingly dishonest smear jobs in recent memory, and Brian Maloney’s all over the story at The Radio Equalizer: Anti-Rush Limbaugh Smear Campaign, VoteVets.org. UPDATE at 10/2/07 10:47:53 am: Here’s video ...
The Minneapolis Star Tribune is currently running a story on their World News page with the shocking news that Israeli commandos have attacked the Lebanese city of Tyre.

During Israel’s war against Hizballah, at LGF we were continually outraged by the media’s uncritical promulgation of terrorist propaganda, and their overwhelming bias against Israel. The barrage of staged and manipulated disinformation culminated in the infamous Adnan Hajj fauxtography incident; and it can be argued that the culture of tacit ...

Washington Post Editor Len Downie, New York Times Editor Bill Keller and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof all talk about the Dan Rather scandal for Front Line, and none of them mention LGF—but Front Line still calls this show: The role of the blogosphere. (Hat tip: Robert.)
Agence France Presse berates Chinese media for failing to join Western media in a barrage of hysterical, alarmist articles on the highly questionable UN report on global warming: China media downplays UN climate change report. The word “barrage” is no exaggeration. There are currently more than 3,000 news articles online ...

The theme of this year has to be “Our Disgraceful Media.” Newsbusters has the latest sorry example: CNN Reporter Slimes Bush: ‘Kool-Aid’ Drinking President Won’t Admit ‘Failure’. Perhaps in an attempt to surpass David Gregory, CNN reporter Suzanne Malveaux derided President Bush as a “Kool-Aid” drinker who won’t admit failure in ...

Kenneth Timmerman on the real message of Ahmadinejad’s latest missive to America: Iran’s Ahmadinejad: America’s New Pen Pal. (Hat tip: Newsbeat1.) Media commentators in the U.S. are likely to pick up on the “public relations” side of the letter. Ahmadinejad calls on the U.S. to bring the troops home from ...
We have another letter from Iranian madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, this time directed to the “American people”—or more accurately, aimed squarely at the moonbats, leftists, and mainstream media: Iranian president: ‘U.S. governs by coercion’.

Curt at Flopping Aces has received confirmation from CENTCOM that “Iraqi police Capt.

I continue to be amazed at the depths to which mainstream media will sink in their attempts to shove multiculturalism down America’s throat.

The BBC’s doublespeak coverage of the rape-supporting Australian Mufti, from Nick Bryant in Sydney, has to be seen to be believed: Australia’s Muslims fear backlash. A few weeks ago, I happened to interview Sheikh Taj el-Din al-Hilali outside the Lakemba Mosque in Sydney where he delivered his controversial sermon. A ...
