At last, the MSM is starting to report what we knew all along-that military help was available to relieve Benghazi, but was denied. The deputy of slain U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens has told congressional investigators that a team of Special Forces prepared to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks was forbidden from doing so by U.S. Special Operations Command Africa. The account from Gregory Hicks is in stark contrast to assertions from the Obama administration, which insisted that nobody was ever told to stand down and that all available resources were utilized. Hicks gave [...]

Benghazi: Officials are Finally Coming Out of the Shadows With Explosive New Information
The mainstream media has tried extremely hard to bury the story, but the tragic events surrounding the attack on our compound in Benghazi that led to the death of four Americans will not go away. With little to no answers the administration that promised to leave no stone unturned in order get to the bottom of this is now taking a “nothing to see here…move along” attitude. The proverbial “These are not the droids you’re looking for” line from Star Wars appears to be the tactic this administration is running with. However, new information from inside sources appears to contradict [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month Poll: April 2013
The Useful Idiot of the Month Poll is here, albeit a couple days late. On Sunday, I asked for nominees, and the good readers answered the call. For those of you that are new to this, a useful idiot is a supporter or Marxism in a Western country. Useful idiots are used to disrupt and destabilize the economy, political system, and even the culture of a target country. The anticipated outcome is for the target country to collapse, and for Marxists to take over. Then, most ironically, the useful idiots are usually killed, having exhausted their usefulness. So, here is [...]
Reality Imitates Parody: MSM Doesn’t Get That Islamic Terror is Motivated by Islam
Of course, in reality, they really do get it, and refuse to report it, but the video is still funny. Chicks on the Right have the video that shows the MSM’s reaction to the Islamic Terror… You can support the CH 2.0 with your Amazon purchases!

Two Explosions at Boston Marathon: Two Dead, Over Eighty Hospitalized, MSM Blames Right Wing, or Republicans
The end of the Boston Marathon was marked by two explosions, killing at least two, and hospitalizing over 80. Here is some video of one explosion… This is obviously a developing story, so I will stay away from conjecture, or at least cite it as such. We do not know who did it, but the MSM has some ideas… They are setting the stage by mentioning right wing groups, and of course, they’ll lump us in with real hate groups, even though we aren’t. It’s the narrative, so expect more of it. Then, Steve from America’s Watchtower found that the [...]
Ben Carson Declares White Liberals Racist: MSM Silent
Ben Carson has not only been a thorn in the side of liberals, he has been a persistent one. Not only does he speak the truth, he doesn’t back down when racist liberals attack him. He doesn’t hide, he stands up and hurls more truth at the the smear machine. Check out the following, via Gateway Pundit… Hoe much you want to bet that there are lawyers and private investigators going through the life of Ben Carson with a fine toothed comb? They cannot attack what the man says. Also, they cannot allow this man to be heard for very [...]
Team Obama Finally Admits That They Created Sequester
It’s increasingly amazing just how much this administration is willing to lie to smear their opponents. That, and its even more amazing that they are getting away with it. Take, for example, the sequester. Obama and the leftists have been blaming the GOP for the sequester, even though it was their idea. At any rate, here is the video evidence… Then, as shown at the Weekly Standard, an Obama official, Gene Sperling, admitted that they created the thing. After all, Obama threatened to veto any agreement that did not include the sequester. In other words, Obama and team created the [...]
AR15 Stops Home Invasion: Media Silent
The AR15 is a much maligned firearm. It’s the civilian version of the M16, and can only fire as a semi-automatic, making it a glorified 22 long rifle. However, because it looks mean, it’s a favorite target of the gun grabbers. Since it is target of future “ugly gun laws,” it can do no good-even if it stops a home invasion. Texas Fish and Game has more… If the gun grabbers, and their allies in the MSM had their way, these children might be dead. But, that would be a small sacrifice in order to get the guns, and the [...]
Americans Wake with Lower Pay Checks: Obama to Blame
Elections have consequences kids, and one of them is apparently a lower pay check. For all of Obama’s promises to never raise taxes on the middle class, something went wrong. What went wrong, you ask? Well, people believed Obama, that’s what went wrong! Wyblog has more… Apparently a lot of people were complaining about their paychecks being unexpectedly smaller. Here’s the explanation from ADP: The reduced 4.2% rate for employee Social Security taxes that was in effect for 2011 and 2012 has expired. The employee Social Security tax rate will return to 6.2% for 2013 wages up to the taxable [...]
Alleged OWS Activitst, Aaron Greene, Caught With Bomb Making Materials: Media Bias and Denials Ensue
One thing that can be counted upon is that OWS participants will be caught in bomb plots. Then, the second thing that can be guaranteed is that OWS will deny it, and the MSM will help cover it up. Also, you can guarantee that the MSM will blame Conservatives for any adverse event that occurs, even in the absence of all evidence. The Blaze has information on the arrest… Aaron Greene, 31, and his nine-months pregnant girlfriend, Morgan Gliedman, 27, were apparently found to have these elements in addition to bomb-making instructions, a stack of papers with a cover sheet entitled, “The [...]
Happy Year 2013! We’re in Trouble!
I’d like to take the moment to wish everyone a Happy New Year. However, I might want to add that my wish is by no means a guarantee. I fear that 2013 is going to be a terrible year, and it will result in hardships of all sorts. Here are some of my reasons… 1. Fiscal Cliff jumping: It appears that we are going to go off the “fiscal cliff.” What does that mean? It means that Obama’s negotiating position was “give me exactly what I want, and nothing less.” The members of the stupid party, however, made many concessions, [...]
David Gregory Above the Law? Media Bias Trumps Gun Laws!
Oh to be a influential liberal! I could be Al Gore, and while telling everyone that they need to live in thatch huts, I could live in big mansions and fly around in private jets. Or, I could be Michael Moore, and hang out with the 99% and tout democracy, while living in a 1% house, and forcing workers to join unions. Because, as well all know, nothing says democracy like forced union membership. But, David Gregory media talking head at NBC, may take the cake, He appeared on Meet the Press last week… Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world [...]
Media Bias: Media Never Reported That Oregon Mall Shooting Stopped by Armed Citizen
While the country was in a state of shock over the events at the Sandy Hook school shooting, the MSM was crying for gun control In fact, they were doing so when even the earliest reports of that shooting were coming out. However, they had an earlier shooting that very week, at an Clackamas, Oregon shopping mall. However the MSM left an important aspect of that shooting out- that the shooting was stopped after an armed citizen pulled his weapon on the shooter. Here is the video… Isn’t it interesting that the MSM left this out of their coverage? Or, [...]
MIchigan Union Violence Update: Media Ignores it, Leftists Craft Conspriacy Theories
Michigan, Unions, Violence, Goons, Americans for Prosperity, Tent, Attack, Assualt, Intimidation, MSM, Bias, Coverage The post reality world means that it really makes no difference what really happens, and even if you have the most iron-clad evidence, it’s all about who controls the information. So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at what is happening… Media Ignores Union Violence: As usual, the MSM is refusing to cover union violence. That is not new, and we shouldn’t be surprised, but it still should be covered, and so it shall. Newsbusters has a storyto that end… Networks Refuse to Cover Union [...]
Let it Burn: Should the GOP Allow Obama to Raise Taxes?
An idea has been mentioned that perhaps the GOP should simply vote “present” for any “fiscal cliff” vote, and allow Obama to raise all the taxes they want. Then, as the thinking goes, Obama and the Democrats will take the blame for the job losses and such that result. The Trifecta panel, via PJ Media, discusses this… While the panel only lightly discussed the media’s role in any scenario I think it’s important. Because, even if the GOP gives Obama exactly what he wants, it will never be Obama’s fault. Even if the exact tax increases that Obama requests are found to be [...]
Massive Projection on Display: Democrat Hank Johnson Wants to Limit Free Speech
We like to say that you always know what the Democrats are up to based on what they accuse everyone else of doing. Here’s Hank Johnson, a Democratic Congress critter, on why he thinks free speech is a terrible thing… OK, let’s look at some points here… “They control the patterns of thinking,” said Johnson. “They control the media. They control the messages that you get. So, you are being taught to hate your government – don’t want government, but keep your hands off of my Medicare by the way. I mean, we are all confused people and we’re poking fingers at [...]
The Fiscal Cliff, and Why We’ve Already Lost, and will Continue to Lose
OK, we’re facing the infamous ”fiscal cliff.” What doe that mean? It means that a crisis has been manufactured in order for Obama to triumph, and the Republicans to be scapegoated. Here’s how it will happen. 1. If both Houses and the POTUS fail to reach an agreement (read, if he Republicans fail to capitulate) there will be a rather unpleasant set of tax increases and budget cuts. 2.It doesn’t matter how many proposals the Republicans make. It won’t matter how many times the Democrats change the rules or break their word-it will ALWAYS be the Republican’s fault. 3. Reality doesn’t matter, and the MSM will [...]
Time Warp: What Would the MSM Have Looked Like in 1943?

Why yes, yes they did. Related posts: Is Warp Drive a Possibility? Alinsky's Rules Explained Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.
Enthusiasm Gap? Obama Campaign Ends How it Started, In a Half-Empty Ohio Arena
When we say that Obama has an enthusiasm problem, we mean it. In May, President Obama kicked off his campaign in a half-empty arena. Breitbart has the pic… Barack Obama launched his campaign in unspectacular fashion today at Ohio State University, the largest college in the crucial swing state. A photoposted to twitter by Mitt Romney’s campaign spokesman Ryan Williams reveals sparse attendance. The above image, according to Williams, was taken during the President’s first official campaign speech. According to the Toledo Blade, the venue for Obama’s rally seats 20,000 but “there were a lot of empty seats.” Comparatively, Obama drew a crowd of 35,000 at Ohio [...]
Did the mainstream media’s bias contribute towards President Obama’s terrible debate performance?
Oh fudge… We all know the mainstream media is in the tank for President Obama; but did their bias and unwillingness to ask the tough questions throughout his Presidency contribute towards the President’s terrible debate performance? Looking at the debate from a slightly different angle I believe it did. In an effort to shield President Obama from the impact his terrible economic policies has had on America the mainstream media has not only done themselves and the American people a great disservice, but they may have unknowingly sabotaged the President’s debate performance last night. By not holding the President’s feet [...]
Media Bias: Administration Knew That Libya Attack Was Planned, Only ABC Covers it
Imagine, if you will, that our ambassador to Libya was killed. Then, imagine that the administration blamed the attack on a “spontaneous protest” over a YouTube video that no one watched. And, just to make it more interesting, let’s add that the Libyan government came out and said that it was a planned terrorist attack, and that they had warned the administration that it was coming…in advance of the attack. Imagine that security, in Libya, or anywhere else, was not increased. Imagine that the MSM played ball and used the death of our ambassador to Libya in order to attack [...]
Media Distrust at an all-time High: A Look Inside the Numbers
What happens when a poll is taken showing the level of trust in the media? We see a clue to the outcome in november. The Rand Paul Review has the following, from Gallup… More broadly, Republicans continue to express the least trust in the media, while Democrats express the most. Independents’ trust fell below the majority level in 2004 and has continued to steadily decline. OK then, we see that the Democrats in the sample trust the media to the tune of 58%. That is predictable, as the media cheer leads for the Democrats. Also, we see the Republican figure is remarkably low, at [...]
DOJ Used Media Matters as a Propaganda Arm: Anyone Surprised?
We all know what Media Matters is. It’s a Soros funded smear machine meant to spread regressive propaganda, as well as attack anyone that opposed the regressive agenda. Then, we the Daily Caller obtained emails between Media Matters personell and DOJ, is wasn’t at all surprised. Here is an excerpt from the DC… Dozens of pages of emails between DOJ Office of Public Affairs Director Tracy Schmaler and Media Matters staffers show Schmaler, Holder’s top press defender, working with Media Matters to attack reporters covering DOJ scandals. TheDC obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act request. (RELATED: TheDC’s complete coverage of Media [...]
MSM, Leftists Predicting Doom for Romney: Don’t Fall for it
The MSM, and the left (or do I repeat myself?) are using the super secret campaign event video to tar Romney-for telling the truth, mind you-and are predicting doom and gloom for the campaign. To summarize, I have the following statement… DON’T FALL FOR IT! To see through the nonsense, you have to consider a few facts… 1. The MSM has been cooking the poll numbers for…well…forever. If you need confirmation of that, consult Da Tech Guy, who has been on top of it. In fact, if you want to know one poll more than any other, read this one. [...]
MSM Caught on Open Mike: Coordinate Against Mitt Romney
It seems that the MSM will go to great lengths to take a shot at Mitt Romney, even if they have to coordinate on questions. Candidate Romney issued a rather strong statement regarding the Obama Administration and the recent attack on the US Embassy in Libya. The MSM reporters conspired to attack him for it. The Right Scoop has the transcript… UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: …pointing out that the Republicans… *unintelligible* …Obama…. CBS REPORTER: That’s the question. UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: *unintelligible* CBS REPORTER: Yeah that’s the question. I would just say do you regret your question. UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Your question? Your statement? CBS REPORTER: I [...]
Radical Islamists Murder Libyan Ambassador: Obama Administration Apologizes
I wasn’t really able to pay attention to the murder of our Libyan ambassador, Christopher Stevens, due to the day job. But after I got home, I recognized the pattern of failure and naivete exhibited so very often by the Obama administration. Here’s what we know… The US Embassy was attacked in Libya. The Ambassador, and three others were killed. Joshua Pundit has more… The official excuse given was an obscure film about Mohammed that Islamist clerics used to enrage the crowds at the local mosques, even though none of them had actually seen the movie. Of course, as military analyst Col. Ralph [...]
Great Moments in Civil Discourse: Liberals call for Ann Romney’s Death
Just imagine if Conservatives all over Twitter called for Michelle Obama’s death. Might that cause a bit of an uproar, or even some coverage by the MSM? I think we all know that such an event would be cause for the MSM to revisit the Republcan “hate” and racism memes. However, it doesn’t even seem to be of note when liberals call of the death of Ann Romeny. The Examiner has more… On Wednesday, liberals on Twitter called for the death of Ann Romney, the wife of GOP nominee Mitt Romney, Twitchy reported. As of this writing, the so-called “mainstream media” has refused to report [...]
Leno Mocks Obama’s Control of the MSM
Jay Leno has done an amazing job since he took over after Johnny Carson’s retirement from the Tonight Show. Unlike Dave Letterman, Jay has shied away from partisan humor or attempting to foist his own politics upon his viewers and fans. Jay has made fun of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. With that being said, here is a clip of Leno lampooning Obama’s reliance on softball questions spoon fed to an oh so willing MSM.

Melissa Harris Perry of MSNBC Engages in Leftist Propaganda for Independence Day
Well, just in cased you thought that even MSNBC couldn’t ruin Independence Day, think again. MSNBC’s Melissa Harris Perry went out of her way to propagandize the birth of our country. The Blaze has the video, and the transcript… Melissa Harris Perry, say things like this, according to Mediaite: In what is sure to rankle the feathers of many conservatives, MSNBC weekend host Melissa Harris-Perry took to her show Sunday to ponder the meaning of Independence Day, highlighting mostly the stains on American history. “It’s ours, all of it,” she said. “The imperialism, the genocide, the slavery, also the liberation and the hope and the [...]
MSNBC Caught Again: Edited Romney Footage
Just when you thought that the folks at the peacock network would have learned…they didn’t. After being caught so famously editing the video of a gun toting protester, proclaiming the racism of the Tea Party, only to hide that the armed man was black, and then being thoroughly busted editing the Zimmerman 911 tape, you would have thought they’d learn. “Not so much” would be the apt description. Hot Air has MSNBC showed people… Then, Sooper Mexican has what really happened… Um, it seems that the bias has come back to bite the MSM in the hiney once again. However, [...]
Without the Lapdog Media, Obama Is Doomed
Minister of Disinformation Jay Carney and the rest of Barack Obama’s minions are running scared. For the first time in a long time the national press called Obama out yesterday, for his “doing just fine” comment last week on the state of the private sector economy. (Except Juan Williams, who parroted Obama, his central processing unit showing its usual signs of damage.) Carney’s response to the press: “you all ought to do your jobs and report on the context” of Obama’s gaffe. I can simply refer you again to what the President talked about as he stood here before you in the context [...]
May 30, 2012 Brett Kimberlin Update: It’s Not Over Yet, and FOX News Has Coverage
As we’ve been covering the Brett Kimberlin story, one thing has emerged as a certainty-it’s not over. From the best analysis that I’ve been able to ingest, Aaron Walker was arrested for “incitement” yesterday. Apparently, a judge, who had little to know about the internet in any capacity, deemed blogging about the attempts of a public figure to damage another’s life, while including legal documents, is “incitement” to harm the person that was doing harm in the first place. And, as Patterico observes, they aren’t done yet. As Glenn Reynolds says: If I read this correctly, Aaron Walker is in trouble [...]
Memorial Day MSNBC Epic Fail: Our Fallen Heroes Evidently Aren’t Heroes UPDATED: Chris Hayes apolgizes for his remarks
I come from a family with a proud military history. My father was a Leatherneck in WWII, seeing heavy action in the South Pacific. He was in the invasion of Okinawa and stood awestruck one August morning when he saw that mushroom cloud over Hiroshima. My younger brother also served his country in the First Gulf War in the Navy, ultimately deciding to become a family man rather than take the PST to qualify for the Navy Seals after he was approached by his CO. Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day mean a lot to me, personally and of course as [...]
Some in Congress Seek to Repeal Ban on Propaganda, Are They Aware That MSNBC has Already Ignored it?
Imagine my shock and surprise when I read of the proposal to eliminate laws restricting the use of propaganda in the US. Here is more via Buzzfeed… An amendment that would legalize the use of propaganda on American audiences is being inserted into the latest defense authorization bill, BuzzFeed has learned. The amendment would “strike the current ban on domestic dissemination” of propaganda material produced by the State Department and the Pentagon, according to the summary of the law at the House Rules Committee’s official website. The tweak to the bill would essentially neutralize two previous acts—the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and [...]
Apparently, Chris Matthews Thinks Than Black Evangelicals Need to “Evolve”
Categorize this one under the “imagine if the MSM decided to invent a story about a Conservative saying this.” Except, of course, no one had to make it up, and Chris Matthews, of the liberal, and lily white MSNBC had the following exchange with Bishop Harry Jackson… Seriously? Could you imagine if a Tea Party attendee, or a Conservative politician said anything remotely close to that? Linked by Wyblog. Thanks!

Neo Nazi Who Attended Occupy Goes on Shooting Spree, Kills Five-Media Silent
Here is a video from an Occupy Protest that the MSM refused to share with America… If you recall, Jason Ready, a known neo Nazi, was openly displaying military style weapons at Occupy Phoenix. Of course, that didn’t fit the “peaceful movement” narrative, so the MSM decided to ignore it. However, Mr. Ready was apparently all to eager to do what all “peaceful” leftist movements eventually do-kill a lot of people. This week Jason Todd went on a horrific shooting spree. Yahoo reported: Arizona vigilante Jason Todd “J.T.” Ready’s final act might have been his most horrific, say police. Police [...]
Occupy May Day Violence: Occupod Hits Bystander in Face With a Brick
Combine Occupods and bricks, and you have a recipe for injury. Take a look at this, from Gateway Pundit… Let’s be clear here, because the reporter in this video carried water for Occupy by saying that anarchists are infiltrators. In reality, the anarchists are part of almost any leftist movement. The “peaceful” protesters present the kind, public face to the MSM, while the anarchists engage in the terror wing of the movement. Both are aware of each other, and get along in a wink-wink, nudge-nudge partnership. The “peaceful” protesters have to know that they are never going to convince people to give [...]
“Justice for Trayvon?” Man Nearly Beaten to Death
Since race baiters, with the full support of the MSM, have convicted George Zimmerman of murder most foul, racial tensions have been elevated. And, with self important men and the MSM (or do I repeat myself) continuing to fan the flames of hate and resentment, there has been a predictable escalation in violence. For the latest, The Other McCain is on the case… From the very start, I warned against trying this case in the media. Demagoguery and political grandstanding have predictably inflamed emotions, so that innocent people who never set foot in Sanford, Florida, are made to pay a [...]
“What if people in our government really are revolutionaries who want to bring down the government of the United States?”
I have debated with myself for the last five hours whether to make this post. I am not inclined to be an alarmist; but I think this is an alarm that must sounded. The question in the title is not mine. It is a question that a blogger at The Rio Norte Line blog asks readers to keep in mind while reading the post Manufacturing a Path to Martial Law. The blogger uses the handle Black3Actual. I first became acquainted with the writings of Black3Actual when she/he commented on a Guest Saturday post here at CoF a little over a week ago. I [...]
We Were Downgraded Again, and the MSM Didn’t Cover it
Here’s something that perhaps you have not heard. Apparently, our credit has been downgraded by another ratings firm… Credit rating agency Egan Jones downgraded the United States Thursday on concern over the sustainability of public debt. Egan Jones is one of the most important ratings firms in the world; they lowered our credit level from AA+ to AA. The firm reduced America from AAA to AA+ in July 2011, just before Standard & Poor’s did the same. Egan Jones warned. ”Without some structural changes soon, restoring credit quality will become increasingly difficult . . . without some structural changes soon, restoring [...]
Trayvon Martin Update: Call Didn’t Have Racial Slur After All? Zimmerman not a Racist?
The Martin case continues to evolve, much to the chagrin of the MSM. The more that comes out, the more the opportunistic, and shall we say, creative, coverage is blowing up in the dinosaur media’s faces. Some more came to light yesterday, so let’s take a look at the new details. After NBC was castigated for selectively editing the 911 tape to make Zimmerman look like a racist. Then, the ABC video that allegedly showed no injuries to Zimmerman actually did. And now, it seems that the CNN audio “enhancement” that indicated that Zimmerman used a racial slur has been [...]
NBC Apologizes for Edited Zimmerman 911 Call
NBC can’t seem to stay out of the propaganda game. They were, once again, caught with their grubby hands in the selective editing jar, and my are they so sorry… For being caught, that is. “During our investigation it became evident that there was an error made in the production process that we deeply regret,” NBC News said in a statement e-mailed to The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday. “We will be taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening in the future and apologize to our viewers.” When asked if anyone at Today had lost their job or had been reassigned as a [...]

The Death of Trayvon Martin: Tragedy Turned into a Political Football
The case of Trayvon Martin is one that makes me cringe. It does for several reasons, but before I get into that, I want to look at a timeline. On Febuary 26, 2012, an apparently self appointed neighborhood watch volunteer, George Zimmer, shot and killed 17 year-old Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman claimed self defense under a “stand your ground” law in Florida. What everyone, at that point, should have done was to follow the wise advise of Robert Stacey McCain… When I had lunch Wednesday with Ali Akbar, he was talking about the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, and I had to confess that [...]
Why the hurry?? We The People have a Primary to participate in.
This is going to be a short post, not rife with sources or videos; just my opinion. I am detecting a pattern with certain pundits on some supposedly Conservative talk radio shows and on network and cable TV outlets. This pattern was something that I became aware of recently and after listening to Mark Levin’s radio show from last Wednesday, the 14th I was gratified to hear that I wasn’t the only one who saw this – and that I wasn’t alone in my disdain for it. What I am referring to is this notion that certain talk show hosts [...]
Obama Succeeds! Gas Prices Have Almost Doubled Since Taking Office!
You read the title correctly folks. For the second week in a row, I have had to admit that the Obama administration has achieved one of it’s stated objectives-to cause gas priced to rise. Kindly consult the graphic below, courtesy of Redstate… Now, some critics may rain on this hollow praise by saying that our high and mighty POTUS really doesn’t want to hurt people with higher fuel prices. After all, not only does it make it more expensive to get to work (if Obama hasn’t killed their job), it raises the price of everything. Well, let’s take a look at recent [...]
Occupod Letter to the Editor: OWS to Storm Wall Street with Guns?
Remember the good old days of 2009-10, when the Tea Parties were universally declared “dangerous terrorists” by DHS. And, I would be remiss if I did not remind you that the MSM spent considerable time smearing all of us as racists that would commit atrocities the second we were left to our own devices. It was a persistent and thorough propaganda campaign, in which crowds were understated, and when no evidence of racism was found, it was invented. And, in spite of their longings, there was no violence, destruction, murders, or so on. Then, came OWS. Almost immediately, there were hundreds of arrests. [...]
MSM in Coordinated Attack Against Santorum?
Newsbusters ran this last night, featuring Rick Santorum on Hannity. This is predictable. The administration and MSM are on a quest to avoid the economy at all costs. To do that with Santorum, they have to hammer him on social issues, even if they have to do some cherry picking or making some stretches to do so. Forget that gas prices are through the roof, and expected to rise even higher. Forget that a couple million jobs are gone, and the people aren’t even bothering to look anymore. Instead, let’s talk about how Rick Santorum is going to ban condoms, [...]
Why are the Republicans Allowing the Democrats and MSM Control the Debate?
Why are we talking about contraception? Why are the talking heads of the MSM (taking notes from Spooky Dude, via Media Matters), being PERMITTED to define what is discussed? Here is the point: Obama is a loser on the economy. He has broken every promise, failed at every proposal, and has, in fact, made things worse. The economy is THE issue of this election, and everything else is secondary. Yes we can illustrate that the government, in their effort to get religious organizations to fund abortion (because the pill is just a side issue), is an affront to the First [...]
Are More Conservative Supporting Rick Santorum?
Well, there are quite a few high profile Conservatives getting behind former PA Senator Rick Santorum. For background, here is some more from The Other McCain… OK, so having endured those lean, lonely and seemingly hopeless weeks of early December, I am not even slightly daunted now, and am in fact greatly encouraged to see that more and more conservatives are climbing aboard the Santorum Express. The latest is Ed Morrissey of Hot Air: Why Santorum? In my estimation, Santorum is the last consistent conservative standing, and the only one both promoting the conservative agenda and campaigning as a conservative in the race. . [...]
Story Update: Occupy Oakland’s Anti-Semitic Pledge, and MSM Ignores Flag Burning
We keep pointing out the there seems to be a lot of anti-Semitism at Occupy sites-we are repeatedly told that is isn’t so. However, it seems that folks at Occupy Oakland haven’t gotten the message to tone down the Jew-hate. For the latest on the anti-Semitism that is most definately not happening, here is a video, via Big Government… As an American flag burns at Occupy Oakland, the man capturing the videos recites the following: “I pledge allegiance to a flag of the imperialistic, capitalistic dictatorship. And to the plutocracy for which it stands, privately owned central bank, under the [...]
Newt Gingrich: Once Again the Left is Trying to Manipulate the Right
I got tell you when I first heard that ABC was going to air an interview with Newt Gingrich’s ex-wife Marianne Gingrich, my first thought was here we go again; the left leaning MSM is trying to manipulate the right. Nothing ticks me off more than when the left tries to manipulate the right by using our core values against us. Most conservatives respect and honor the institution of marriage and the left knows this. Back in October when Herman Cain was leading and pulling away in the polls, Politico felt obligated to run a story that asserted Mr. Cain had sexually harassed two unnamed women during his tenure [...]
Documents Show that Government used Fast and Furious to Justify More Gun Control
If you think back to 2009, you’d recall that we were being told that the violence in Mexico was being fueled by american guns. Of course, as we later found, that this was at least partially true-because our own DOJ sent them there. Yesterday, CBS stated that they had documents that showed that the ATF was acting on this “crisis” in order to increase regulations… ATF officials didn’t intend to publicly disclose their own role in letting Mexican cartels obtain the weapons, but emails show they discussed using the sales, including sales encouraged by ATF, to justify a new gun [...]
MSM Death Watch: CNN, MSNBC Primetime Shows Beaten by Red Eye
If I told you that FOX News programming crushes it’s competition at MSNBC and CNN, you’d likely say, “what else is new.” That would be a resonable response. But, what if I told you that the FOX show at 3:00AM beats much of the prime time lineup at MSNBC and CNN? That might be a surprise, but it is, none the less, true. Check this out from Deadline Hollywood… CNN’s 9 PM anchor Piers Morgan Tonight is regularly pummeled in the ratings by its Fox News primetime counterparts. But in October, it also got beat by Fox News’ overnight program Red Eye, which [...]
And the Moonbattery Just Keeps on Coming: Occupy Wall Street Attendees Keep Proving their Own Useful Idiocy
It seems to me that the Occupy Wall Street protests across the country are nothing more than a Conservative Blogger Material Drive…a “stimulus,” if you will. The more they speak out, the more people get to see what they are all about. And, let’s just say, that what they are all about is NOT representative of the 99% of the population for which they claim to stand. For yet another example, here is a video from GBTV… So, as we can see, the more videos that come out, the more we see that this movement is exactly what we [...]
An Easy Guide to Compare Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Parties
Do you find the rhetorical and behavioral differences between the Occupy Wall Street protests and the Tea Parties confusing? Now,as a public service, our friends in governemnt and the MSM have provided us with an easy guide to tell them apart…. Doesn’t that clear it all up? Though they did leave out the blatant racism.

Some Thoughts on the "Occupy Wall Street" Protests
I’ve been following the moonbat fest in New York, as well as in other locations, though I haven’t written about them until now. It really started as a non-story, though the MSM and the union bosses seem to be building them up. So, here are some of my thoughts about them. I get the impression that they’ve been coached to be very careful about what they say to the media. Let’s look at some general statements, and the CH 2.0 translation. “Greed”= Communism “A more equitable system”=Communism “Democracy”=Communism “Evil Corporations”=Communism Am I overgeneralizing? Perhaps, but from what I have seen [...]
MSNBC Edits Rick Perry to Make him Look Racist: Media Bias at it's Best
Once again, MSNBC has been caught selectively editing video to “prove” the regressive narrative. Back in 2009, they were caught obscuring the race of a protester to make the point that the Tea Parties were racist… Then, earlier this year, they were caught deleting part of a Neil Boortz broadcast to make him appear racist. And now, for the latest… http://youtu.be/0CRpjPJOEIE Now, I know there are regressives out there that will maintain that Ed is correct, not matter the evidence. However, that is to be expected. But for the rest of the country, this is yet another nail in the massive coffin [...]
In Case You Never Really Knew What the Fairness Doctrine was all About…
Conservatives have long stated that the “fairness doctrine” was nothing more than a means to stifle debate on the airwaves. And, in fact, with the doctrine in place-no one dared state too many “unliberal” opinions without getting complaints from liberal groups, threatening to have their FCC license yanked. The result was one sided news. Once the doctrine was removed under the Reagan administration, talk radio flourished, and is a dominating force today. This has lead to the dissemination of Conservative ideas to millions of Americans. The ideas of individual freedom, free markets, personal responsibility, as well as the ability to [...]
Would you Like Some Bias with your Bias? Krugman wants MSM to be Even More Biased
When the regressives are desperate, they seem to drop most, of not all pretenses. Case in point, Paul Krugman of the NY Slimes had some interesting comments earlier in the week. Newsbusters has the details… Liberal New York Times columnist Paul Krugman on Friday denounced the “centrist cop-out” of balance. Krugman specifically singled out the Associated Press for not exclusively blaming the ongoing debt ceiling impasse on the Republican Party. Complaining about too much fairness, the author derided his journalistic colleagues, “But making nebulous calls for centrism, like writing news reports that always place equal blame on both parties, is [...]
Useful Idiot of the Month Poll: July 2011
July just flew by, didn’t it? But, for as fast as it went, there was a ton of Useful Idiocy to ridicule. I’d like to thank everyone who responded to the call, and nominated a useful idiot. Without further ado, here are your nominees: 1. Sheila Jackson Lee: Lee laid down the race card so hard, that the Chinese felt it. Considering that she was narrowly defeated last month-by her OWN constituents, maybe she has gas in the tank to pull it out for July. 2. David Wu: For pulling a furry Weiner (sorry, had to be said). And now for the obligatory Furry [...]
Tea Party Group Protests NAACP Convention
This past Sunday, a Tea Party group protested the NAACP Convention. That statement alone should have brought forth the MSM in force to invent some “Tea Party Racism,” right? Where were the network cameras, leftist infiltrators holding racist signs, and slanted coverage? Nowhere to be found, and with good reason. For, you see, this Tea Party group would NEVER fit the leftist narrative, so they were ignored. The reason? You’ll understand in just a moment… There is no way on God’s green Earth that the MSM will ever give this group any fair coverage, if any at all. And [...]
Was Fast and Furious Meant to be Cloward-Piven for the Second Amendment?
If you recall, the lefty meme from a while back was that Mexican gun violence was caused by guns imported from the US. While that came into debate, the governments of both the US and Mexico made the claim, and the lapdogs in the MSM followed suit. Of course, the porous border and the fact that these guns are being used by CRIMINALS never entered into the discussion. As the details of Operation Fast and Furious have come to light, we see that that narrative is at the very least partially true. The US government was sending the guns to Mexico in the [...]
MSM Death Watch: Olbermann Loses 30% of Audience in Second Week
Apparently, hyperbole, lies, and insane ranting can only take you so far… The “Countdown” host, whose debut guest was far-left filmmaker Michael Moore, has lost nearly 30 percent of his viewers just two weeks into his new broadcast. Business Insider reports: In its second week on Al Gore’s Current TV Countdown With Keith Olbermann lost nearly 30% of its total viewers and 30% of its demo viewers, reports Deadline. “Olbermann attracted an average of 93,000 viewers in its target 25-to-54 demo, down 29% from the first week. The total audience, at 253,000, was down 28.5%.” It stands to reason Olbermann and Current executives might [...]
Democratic Strategy for 2012 Revealed? MSM Concentrating on Social Issues, Avoiding Economy
I picked up on this in the CNN debate, and the saw a story from Catholibertarian that shows a possible campaign strategy for 2012. In both examples, it seemed as if an inordinate amount of time was spent on the social issues; abortion and gay marriage, when compared with the most pressing issue of the day-the economy. It would be my estimation that more people are concerned with the following: 1. They don’t have a job. 2. They fear losing the job they have. 4. They can’t afford gas for their cars. 5. Inflation is causing prices to rise across [...]
I Stand with True Conservatism, not a Watered Down Version of it
The more I listen to conservative talk radio, the more I’m beginning to see and understand the major differences between true conservatism and the watered down version of it being pushed by the establishment. My favorite conservative talk radio hosts are Mike Church, Andrew Wilkow, Rush Limbaugh, and Mark Levin. These great conservative minds are providing the conservative community with the information they need to advance true conservative ideals. Others like Sean Hannity tend to follow the party line and promote a more watered down version of conservatism. Yes Mr.Hannity has had many strong conservatives on his show, and he [...]
Profiles in Useful Idiocy: Meghan McCain Blames Sarah Palin for her Failed Love Life
One of the nominees for Useful Idiot of the Month is Meghan McCain. The daughter of John McCain, Meghan’s Conservative bashing has made her a darling of the MSM. In other words, she’s a massive RINO. Following in the MSM’s footsteps of blaming Sarah Palin for everything bad that happens in the world, she has gone as far as to blame Palin for her failed love life. The Other McCain has the details… In addition to being a celebrity heiress dilettante, Meghan is also the kind of Republican who can be counted on to badmouth conservatives — the only kind [...]
Media Bias: "Psy-Ops" Poll
Da Tech Guy, RS McCain, and TCOTS are all discussing the recent AP poll that gives Obama an approval rating of 63%. The reason for the results? And in this same poll the president has a 63% of those responding with a favorable opinion of him. Sounds pretty ominous for the GOP doesn’t it? Unfortunately for those who actually like to be informed when reading what is supposed to be a news story you have to go deep into the AP numbers (not included in the story) to discover that the AP polled almost 2 democrats for every 1 republican (35% [...]
We Must be Ready to Advance Liberty and Freedom
Many of you are probably growing very tired of people who choose to keep their heads buried in the sand in regards to the current state of our nation. I’m sure you have encountered these types of people in your daily activities. They’re the ones who say they hate politics and would rather ignore the obvious than embrace the truth. Whenever you bring up an important issue that could very well impact them or the country as a whole, they tune you out because they simply do not want to hear it. They’re more concerned about who got voted off [...]
Some Thoughts on a Government Shut Down
It looks as if we might be facing a government shut down. At the time of this writing (yesterday, actually), there was no agreement, so I thought it might be a good idea to share some thoughts and some links about what will happen in the event of a shut down: 1. We already know that the Democrats are wanting to duplicate the Gingrich vs. Clinton scenario of the 90′s. So, we can assume that the Democrats will issue talking points that their officials, and the media, will cite endlessly. Most of those talking points will be blatant lies, doom [...]
Biden Staffer Confines Pool Reporter in Closet: How will the MSM React?
When the administration promised to be the most “transparent” ever, they should have consulted Webster’s. I think the work they were looking for was “opaque.” Case in point: this from the Drudge Report… Staffers with Vice President Joe Biden confined an ORLANDO SENTINEL reporter in a closet this week to keep him from mingling with high-powered guests gathered for a Dem fundraiser. Reporter Scott Powers was the designated “pool reporter” for the vice president’s Wednesday visit to the massive Winter Park, Fla., home of developer and philanthropist Alan Ginsburg. The veep hadn’t arrived yet but most of the 150 guests [...]
Glenn Beck vs. MSM: Beck Victorious yet Again
If you watch Glenn Beck, you already know that he’s been showing people the connections between leftists and terror groups. He has used public statements, screencaps from left leaning websites to show these connections. Of course, he has been ridiculed for this. The left has been united in condemning him for airing this information. However, it appears that the FBI agrees with Beck. Take a look at this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RApCjKAVHxI&feature=player_embedded While I do think it’s odd that since this administration does nothing that isn’t political, that these warrants were even sought. Time will tell. I would predict that if this story gets [...]
