The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

The Left Hates Howard Kurtz, Which Doesn’t Mean We Should Love Him, But …

@tobyharnden @howardkurtz I agree.This defenestration feels like it’s about something else.#mobbing — Instapundit.com (@instapundit) May 3, 2013 “Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.” — Herbert Marcuse, “Repressive Tolerance,” 1965 The Internet never forgets, and I’m sure someone (probably Ed Driscoll) will unearth the […]

Liberal Media Bias and Self-Selection

C’mon, @aceofspadeshq: “Something Faranze-Gupta or whatever”?@thegarance is no Max Blumenwhatever! minx.cc/?post=339613 — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) May 1, 2013 Some years ago — when our daughter, now 23, was in kindergarten, to be specific — I gave up on the public school system. It’s doomed beyond all hope of redemption, and conservatives who think otherwise are […]

The Internet Never Forgets

And by “the Internet,” of course, I mean, Ed Driscoll: Politico has numerous journalists who during the campaign in 2008 were on the infamous “JournoList,” which dubbed itself the “non-official campaign” for Obama’s election bid. The JournoList was created by Ezra Klein, who is now with the Washington Post. . . . Another self-admitted member of the JournoList is Ben Smith, who is […]

Why Is This Idiot on National TV?

The enduring mystery of Chris Matthews: Matthews insisted that he opposes intervention into Syria and said that America spends too much of its energy intervening in Arab nations. . . . “As long as Syrians are fighting Syrians, that’s better than us fighting Syrians,” Matthews continued. “If we don’t stop killing Arabs on international television […]

Blame Bush: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Does!

Notice the not-too-subtle Washington Post spin here: The 19-year-old suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings has told interrogators that the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan motivated him and his brother to carry out the attack, according to U.S. officials familiar with the interviews. From his hospital bed, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has acknowledged his role in […]

Why Did Fox News and Townhall Scrub the Todd Starnes ‘Saudi National’ Story?

Let me start by saying that I consider the obsession with the “Saudi national” — a student who was questioned after the Boston Marathon bombing — an annoying distraction from the main story of the terrorist act committed by the Brothers Tsarnaev. This is not to say that the story isn’t interesting in its own […]

Joe Biden Invents Phony Gun Statistics — Because SHUT UP HATERS, That’s Why!

Stephen Gutowski describes the goofball’s latest anti-gun idiocy: By combining, apparently in his head and on the fly, the demonstrably inaccurate “80,000 plus people a year” with the debunked claim that 40% of gun sales in America don’t require a background check, Mr. Biden reaches the completely unverifiable claim that “between 30,000 and 50,000 who […]

Shorter @DylanByers: ‘Hurry Up, FBI, So We Can Start the Media Blame Game!’

So, my three most recent stories for Viral Read were about: A dead 8-year-old boy; A dead 29-year-old woman; and A press conference where the FBI said they are conducting a “wide open” investigation into the Boston bombing. While doing a search for more coverage to include in my updated aggregation, I happened upon this ghoulish blog […]
