Did Somebody Hear a Dog Whistle?

Far be it from me to go around willy-nilly accusing people of anti-Italian prejudice, just because they don’t support Rick Santorum for President, as all intelligent, honest and courageous people must. It would be an unfair accusation to imply that Santorum’s critics are prejudiced against Italians, you see, so long as we acknowledge the obvious possibility […]

Pornographic Politics: Did the Daily Caller ‘Pull a Media Matters’ on Rick Santorum? UPDATE: Romney and Gingrich Both Made January Pledge to Fight Porn

Today I noticed a thread at Memeorandum aggregating commentary on an article by Daily Caller associate editor Steven Nelson: ‘Vigorous’ Santorum crackdown may catch Internet porn viewers with pants down I sort of shrugged that off, and then I saw this Tweet by Jedediah Bila: Didn’t tweet about this today, but if it’s accurate, I […]

Rick Santorum for President Because …

. . . he really brings out the crazy-talk at MSNBC: Lawrence O’Donnell: “Is anything surprising to you in this result so far?” Mark Thompson: “No, not at all. When Rick Santorum first announced he was running for President, in his announcement speech, he was criticizing President Obama for saying America wasn’t as great as […]

Please: Hurt Karen Finney Some More

Before we get around to explaining how you can hurt MSNBC analyst Karen Finney, we must ask: Why does Michelle Malkin hate women? That’s right: Michelle Malkin’s Twitchy is advertising on the Hateful Misognystic Rush Limbaugh Show, so obviously, she hates women.

I’ve been saying this for weeks, and it’s probably not a good idea for the candidate to say so himself, but it’s unquestionably true: On Tuesday’s “Kilmeade & Friends” radio show on Fox News Radio, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum . . . accused Fox News of being in the tank for his competitor, former […]

Busted by Twitchy: @Soledad_OBrien Loves Her Some ‘Critical Race Theory’

Hey, remember when CNN’s Soledad O’Brien melted down on TV and tried to depict Joel Pollak as a racist? Wasn’t that awesome? Well, here’s some more awesomeness: Much like Barack Obama, Soledad O’Brien is a huge fan of Professor Derrick Bell, the “critical race theory” guy the Breitbart.com video was all about. The Internet doesn’t forget, and […]

KaplanGate: Is the Washington Post Covering Up Its Own Financial Scandal?

Rusty Weiss at Accuracy in Media examines the relationship between the Washington Post and Kaplan, a lucrative for-profit education firm owned by the Post‘s parent corporation: [T]here is a longstanding history of allegations of fraudulent practices, with hundreds of millions of dollars of profits diverted to Kaplan executives. Perhaps it’s also Kaplan’s generation of such […]

Media Gets ‘Tantalizing’ Thrill From 2007 Palin E-Mail Joke About Divorce

You’ve really got to wonder about people who would waste time chasing after stuff like this: Also there is one tantalizing e-mail from Sept. 26, 2007 — almost a full year before she was tapped for the unsuccessful GOP presidential ticket — with the subject line saying “Marital Problems.” Addressing two of her gubernatorial aides, she said “So […]
