Former New York Times editor Howell Raines claims that a question has “tugged at my professional conscience throughout the year-long congressional debate over health-care reform,” to-wit, Why don’t honest journalists take on Roger Ailes and Fox News? Which naturally raises the followup question, when did Howell Raines develop a “professional conscience”? Considering that the New York Times has been fabricating news for close to half a century, including a seamy plagiarism scandal while Raines was a Times editor, it is hard to conceive that he actually had one of those during his tenure. Yard sale item, maybe?

Here’s the quotation of the century, providing a critically important insight I’ve never seen stated before. Read it and weep; read it again and then act: “The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom...

NEW YORK (AFP) – With The New York Times and Rupert Murdoch poised to start charging for newspapers online, media heavyweights sparred on Thursday over whether readers will pay for news on the Web. The Times plans to require payment for full access to NYTimes.com in early 2011 and Murdoch, who already charges for The Wall Street Journal online, has pledged to begin charging Web readers of his other News Corp. newspapers. Keynote speakers and panelists at the Bloomberg BusinessWeek Media Summit here differed sharply on whether Internet users would be ready to shell out money for what they have...

Rifqa Bary is the 17-year-old girl who converted from Islam to Christianity and fled from her family in fear for her life. For more than nine months now, the Islamic machine has been trying to make an example of her, as a warning that even in the U.S., those who try to leave Islam will fail. Rifqa’s entire legal strategy, meanwhile, has hinged on ignoring the Islamic aspects of the case, although Islam’s death penalty for apostasy is the only thing that explains why she is in danger. Instead, her lawyers are trying to obtain for her Special Immigration Juvenile...

On Friday, March 5, a knife-wielding man attacked people at a Family Dollar store in Memphis, Tennessee. While he failed to stab any of his earlier victims, his final victim proved the old adage: “Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.” Jason Miles, in a report entitled “Knife-wielding man shot to death at Family Dollar parking lot” on WCM-TV, interviewed Lieutenant Colonel J.M. Willis of the Memphis Police Department, who said, “The individual was trying to attack numerous people” and noted he had “a number of witnesses” attesting to the repeated knife attacks. The final victim, armed with a...

'During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.' (George Orwell) Abortion is feticide. Its horror is being concealed by deadly loaded language intended to make it sound acceptable. Its advocates have fashioned a "rights language" to even try to make it sound noble. They have repeated the phrase "abortion rights", "abortion rights", "abortion rights"…. ad nauseam. Their collaborators in much of the media use this deadly loaded language without even thinking about what they are actually saying, or writing.

Many of the same news organizations and research groups today dismissing concerns about Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility were far more eager to cover the issue when Republican presidential candidate John McCain was the subject. An archive search shows the question of McCain's birth certificate and his eligibility to be president was actively pursued by Democratic Party activists and the mainstream media in the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, despite the ridicule now heaped upon those questioning Obama's qualifications under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution. In an article published Feb. 28, 2008, months before McCain was nominated for...

Every single news agency has turned their attention to a car crash in California involving a Toyota Prius. The driver claimed the accelerator got stuck on a California freeway and Patrol offers had to slow them down. It's a story that makes an instant celebrity, and the media loves to hype it. However: Anyone that has driven a Prius knows that such a car has not the power to 'JUMP' forward no matter how quick and hard you press the gas pedal. Furthermore, the ability to accelerate in a Prius is so modest, not even the most paranoid driver would...
