They’re relentless. The latest Associated Press masterpiece of journalistic malpractice: a headline that goes right to the edge of saying Sarah Palin called Barack Obama a terrorist (which she did not): Palin defends terrorist comment against Obama. They’re parroting Obama campaign propaganda, word for word, and doing everything they can ...

The Associated Press seems to sense, in some dim way, that they may have gone a little over the line with that ludicrous “analysis” by Douglass Daniel that tries to accuse Sarah Palin of racism for mentioning Barack Obama’s association with former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers. In the latest ...
Election 2008, Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, Racism, Associated Press, Media Bias, Video
The Associated Press article on Sarah Palin’s comments about William Ayers is a Category 7 jaw-dropper. Apparently, now even criticizing Obama’s associations with white violent radicals is racist: Analysis: Palin’s words carry racial tinge. Palin’s words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating ...

We’ve posted five articles now about serious mistakes and/or outright lies in Joe Biden’s performance last night—but if you read what the mainstream media have written about the debate, you won’t find a single one of these falsehoods. The media have almost unanimously declared Biden the winner, and they’re ignoring ...

Sarah Palin was terrific in this debate. Just terrific. No mistakes. Heartfelt, sincere, and very knowledgeable. Joe Biden came across as old, surgically enhanced, and tired, voice dwindling to a monotone as the debate progressed. Sarah Palin won the debate going away.

Ed Morrissey is continuing to follow the outrageous story of Gwen Ifill, the insanely biased debate moderator: Ifill: I never told the Commission about the book. But at this point, it simply doesn’t matter how much evidence of bias you can dig up, because John McCain said he was sure ...

Dennis Miller has the quote of the day: There seems to be this etiquette that her and John are adhering to ... they’d better realize they’re in enemy country, for God’s sake. These people establish their bona fides, and indeed their seating positions at Sally Quinn and Ben Bradlee’s ...
From Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit, an email from a reader who works in a mainstream media newsroom: “Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in ...
Associated Press Democratic shill Ron Fournier is working overtime promoting the view that if Barack Obama loses the election, racism will be to blame. In every other circumstance the Associated Press avoids printing racial slurs, even in quotations, and uses phrases like “the N word” instead. But for some reason ...

Earlier this week the networks threw a major tantrum when the McCain campaign tried to limit their access to Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s meetings with foreign officials. Today, Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden met with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and completely excluded the press. And not a ...
There’s something very rotten at Reuters, and this headline is a glaring symptom: Accused of anti-Semitism, Ahmadinejad meets Jews. Reuters’ headline is clearly designed to imply that Ahmadinejad reached out to Jews after being accused of antisemitism, but the reality is the exact opposite. The “Jews” they’re talking about belong ...

The Washington Post, once again, is on the wrong side of the battle to expose jihadis in the United States: Washington Post Reporter Puts Target on Prosecutor’s Back. Many have chronicled the odd relationship between the Western media and the forces of radical Islam, perhaps the starkest incident being ...

By picking Sarah Palin, it looks like John McCain has lost the Washington Post’s Richard Cohen: The Ugly New McCain. What impressed me most about McCain was the effect he had on his audiences, particularly young people. When he talked about service to a cause greater than oneself, he ...

Jeffrey Goldberg wakes up and notices that the leftist craziness The Atlantic has been encouraging has suddenly bitten the magazine on its back side: About that McCain Photo. Like others at the Atlantic, I was appalled to read about the actions of Jill Greenberg, the freelance photographer who took ...
Is this racism? The Associated Press certainly seems to think so: Forum sells ‘Obama Waffles’ with racial stereotype. WASHINGTON (AP) — Activists at a conservative political forum snapped up boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like ...

Gerard Vanderleun posts about some quite amazing perfidy from The Atlantic and photographer Jill Greenberg, whose photo shoot with John McCain was deliberately set up to produce ominous, threatening pictures—by using outright trickery: Out-Takes: Behind The Atlantic’s McCain Cover. At Photo District News, there’s an article with more details, and ...
It won’t come as a surprise to LGF readers, but Charlie Gibson’s interview with Sarah Palin was heavily edited by ABC News to make Palin appear more hawkish and less knowledgeable. Mark Levin has the complete transcript, and what ABC News tried to pull here is a textbook example of ...

The most openly hostile, openly crazed partisan hack on television (and his leg-tingling friend) will no longer be anchoring MSNBC’s election coverage: MSNBC Takes Incendiary Hosts From Anchor Seat. MSNBC tried a bold experiment this year by putting two politically incendiary hosts, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, in the ...
