It’s not just the Associated Press labeling Pakistanis burning Danish flags as “human rights activists.” Here are two more especially absurd and egregious examples of MSM malfeasance: At Contentions, Abe Greenwald tracks the mysterious disappearance and subsequent complete rewrite of a Reuters story on Muqtada al-Sadr: Reuters’ Sadr Story Vanishes. ...
Sacred Heart University in Connecticut has conducted a poll on Americans’ opinions about the news media—and the amount of distrust is surprising even to me: Americans Slam News Media on Believability.

It’s a thoroughly evil trick: you post a comment at a mainstream media site that criticizes them, or goes against their prevailing biases, and the administrator deletes your comment. But they delete it in a sneaky way; when you visit the page and are logged in to your account, you ...

Let’s revisit Bobby Caina Calvin’s blog for a few minutes, because even though he’s now pulled the entire thing offline, what it revealed about mainstream media reporting from Iraq is actually quite important. LGF reader “Last Mohican” commented on a post by Calvan, on a story he filed about a ...
An almost unbelievable example of media arrogance, as a reporter for the Sacramento Bee complains about an ID check at the Green Zone, belittles the soldier for not knowing who “Knight Ridder” is, then brags about his bravery at his blog: Simply Simpatico | The GALLIVANT. Since the little weasel ...

Here’s a terrific post from Karl at Protein Wisdom, a monumental, heavily-sourced overview of the establishment media’s coverage of the Iraq War: The Big Picture(s). There’s so much malfeasance, sloppiness, propaganda, and outright bias on display here that it’s a little overwhelming—but this is why so many of us are ...
The Los Angeles Times, who recently published an op-ed by Hamas terrorist Mousa Abu Marzook, comes out very much in favor of teaching Israeli Arabs to hate Israel: Two versions of history. It’s their “narrative,” you see. And who are we to judge which “narrative” is more valid? History is ...

I hadn’t thought much about Jon Voight recently, I admit (sorry, Jon), but he turns out to have an unusually solid (for Hollywood) grasp on reality. Newsbusters has a transcript of his MSNBC appearance last night; here’s an excerpt: My heart is very heavy, and I‘m really terrified by what ...
Here’s an interview with Jon Voight at Radar Online, in which he demonstrates a grasp on reality that seems to elude most of his peers: Patriot Act. In this section, Voight puts the Radar Online interviewer on the spot: So you think the Administration might know where the WMDs are? ...
“Youths” terrorized Paris’s Gare du Nord train station today in a major riot that is oddly under-reported by mainstream media: Clashes erupt at Paris’ Gare du Nord. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
