Hanging With Breitbart

We must all hang together or surely we shall all hang separately, so this evening I’ll be hanging out at a reception in Washington, DC, to celebrate the publication of Andrew Breitbart’s new book Righteous Indignation.

Oops: PBS Got Stung, Too

One of my friends who has very close connections to the operatives involved in James O’Keefe’s sting against National Public Radio had hinted in a phone call that I should expect further exposures and — my, oh, my — what do we have here? PBS confirmed Wednesday that like NPR, one of its executives attended […]

‘National Palestinian Radio’ Sting Shows That Liberals Still Blame America First

During James O’Keefe’s undercover video sting of (now ex-)National Public Radio executive Ron Schiller, “Ibrahim Kassan” — pretending to represent a Muslim Brotherhood front group that wanted to make a large donation to the NPR foundation — made a number of provocative statements about Jewish control of the media: “Jews do kind of control the […]
