A Short Lesson in Liberal Media Bias: Has Alex Koppelman Forgotten Fitzmas?

Alternate Headline: It’s Not a Real Scandal, Until @alexkoppelman Decides ‘There Is Something to It.’ newyorker.com/online/blogs/n… | @jeffgurner — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) May 12, 2013 Scandals always highlight the disparity in how differently the media treat Republicans and Democrats. We are grateful to Alex Koppelman for this latest example: It’s a cliché, of course, but […]

‘A History of Psychiatric Problems’

So says Ace of Spades about the way the New York Times re-writes the history of the Anthony Weiner cybersex scandal. In a just world, Jonathan Van Meter of the New York Times — and every editor who signed off on this thoroughly dishonest article — would be fired, and effectively blackballed from the industry like Jason Blair […]

Neo-Pagans Taking Over GOP?
