Why Has the ‘Valuable Resource’ Known as 538 Been Summarily Discarded?

While I await the arrival of Sidney Blumenthal’s book The Permanent Campaign — ordered from Amazon yesterday, because I need to reference it for a future American Spectator column — permit me to climb aboard the bandwagon of those celebrating this happy news: Disney axed Nate Silver’s once-influential FiveThirtyEight on Wednesday as part of sweeping […]

His father became a politician in Suffolk County, N.Y., whose “tenure as a county lawmaker ended in 2008 after he faced charges that he lied about living in the district in 2007 and 2008, a period during which he was splitting his time between Huntington […]

Nearly everyone in the major media is a Democrat (e.g., 89% voted for Bill Clinton in 1992) and […]

The Hired Liars of Liberal Media

Andrew Breitbart used the phrase “Democrat-Media Complex” to describe the dishonest and hypocritical frauds who consider their partisan opinions to be synonymous with Truth and Virtue.
