This Week’s Installment of Burning, Pillage, Etc.

And let’s face it, if any modern organization ever deserved a visit from history’s best known hostile acquisition specialists, it’s CBS News. Since Vikings are a bit hard to come by these days, we have to do the best we can. On that note, take it away, Joe!

Does Sarah Palin Need a Tutor? Would Richard Wolffe Volunteer for the Job?

Cubachi has a post about Richard Wolffe on Hardball with Chris Matthews, in which Wolffe ridiculed the British writer C.S. Lewis as a mere “children’s author”: Lewis was, of course, a master of Christian apologetics and a good friend of J.R.R. Tolkien — they were colleagues at Oxford University — with whom he shared a desire to […]

Media Bias or Media Accuracy?

When I was an assistant national editor at The Washington Times, one of my pet peeves was when reporters in our Capitol Hill bureau would write about the budget with the idea that they were writing about the government’s money, rather than the taxpayer’s money. This would typically come up when, discussing proposals to reduce tax […]

Awesome Awesomeness Update: MSNBC Host Rips Into Democrat Alan Grayson

UPDATE: Welcome (again) Instapundit readers! I feel like Ted Williams on a hitting […]

Talk about your “must-see TV”! Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy As I remarked last night on Twitter, if Glenn Beck had ever gone after Obama this hard, he would have been denounced for committing a hate-crime. (To be exact, with only 140 characters to work with, what I […]

Your Weekly “Sixty Minutes” Fisking

Apparently the dutiful Joseph Fein was overcome last week by the mind-bending horrors of Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos Sixty Minutes, since we were forced to do without his fisking of that alleged news program last week. He’s back this week, though, with a double-header for your reading pleasure!

Jill Filipovic and Amanda Marcotte to Denounce Keith Olbermann in 3, 2, 1 . . .

Defenders of Julian Assange are now “downshifting from Camille Paglia to Three Days of the Condor,” resorting to a conspiracy-theory defense of the WikiLeaker’s First Amendment right to condom-free sex with Swedish socialists: Here’s how an evidence-free, innuendo-filled personal attack on a rape accuser trespasses the mainstream political debate.
