Why the Washington Post Sucks

Matt Lewis quotes their policy statement: “Post journalists must refrain from writing, tweeting or posting anything — including photographs or video — that could be perceived as reflecting political, racial, sexist, religious or other bias or favoritism that could be used to tarnish our journalistic credibility.” Which is hogwash, of course.

Contessa Brewer’s Very Bad Day, Or Why Couldn’t Faisal Shahzad Be a Methodist?

We know that this is what liberals really believe, but it’s shocking when one of them is stupid enough to say it out loud: “I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who […]

If You Think Watching Keith Olbermann Is Painful, Imagine Being His Guest

David Weigel had to defend Sarah Palin against Olby’s hallucinatory perjury-trap “Fitzmas” fantasies of a Palin perpwalk: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy After doing the Olbermann show, Weigel’s probably looking forward to talking to comparatively sane people at the Million Birther March.

Walsh: As a friend notes, […]

You Might Be a Media Douchebag If . . .

. . . people are attacked for exercising their First Amendment rights and you don’t think that’s a news story: Over 10,000 Boston Patriots turned out for the event and to hear Sarah Palin speak. So did the thugs. Leftist thugs wearing USW T-shirts threw punches and rammed their way through the Tea Party Protest […]

Megan McArdle’s Myopia

In an otherwise very thoughtful piece about the limitations of the conservative subculture, the World’s Tallest Female Blogger writes: I’ve never worked at either a liberal or a conservative political magazine, but from the outside . . . She writes this for The Atlantic Monthly which, in point of fact, is a liberal political magazine. […]

One of These Things Is Not Like the Other

Jim Hoft says it’s a “smear” for the New York Times to compare the Tea Party movement to the Weather Underground of the 1960s and ’70s. More to the point, the comparison is stupidly inaccurate.
