A TIME magazine poll released today details a few interesting facts about Obama and how the country views him. A large portion of this country sees Obama as a Muslim. Why is this? Surely the mainstream media would understand—but they don’t. Delving into this a little more you begin to find a few reasons that [...]

The “smears” outlined in this reference come from Media Matters. It represents what they define to be some of the most egregious distortions of Fox News. The claims of bias appear to originate from a single news/commentary format called America’s Newsroom aired between 9am and 11am weekdays on Fox News. Before diving into the claims [...]

Many on the left seem to have gotten their panties in a wad over Glenn Beck lately. The most recent gripe they have seems to be over Beck’s identification that Anita Dunn’s favorite philosopher is Mao Zedong (Tse-tung). [Continued...]

Beck Now Attacking Individual Board Members of ACORN The lines above were used as the title for a uTube posting about one of Glenn Beck’s reports about ACORN. Whenever someone posts solid, fact-based reporting such as Beck’s and attacks the reporter by labeling them as “High Priests of Hate” it only serves to illustrate how [...]

Founding Bloggers interviewed the CNN Reporter that was arguing with tea party-goers from before, and it’s a very good look at the bias that’s present in any given broadcast. Found this via Patterico. The CNN part of the video’s obviously been discussed to death, so I won’t go into that. Perhaps the more interesting point [...]

Everywhere conservatives are screaming-they are now labeled “right-wing extremists” by Janet Napolitano and the Department of Homeland Security. They are proud of the label since they are opposed to the entire Obama administration, but they are scared at the same time-the “right wing extremist” document(s) probably prompted a large portion of the conservative base to [...]

The NRA, Gun Owners of America, and Republicans in general should change their argument when it comes to gun ownership. I’m bringing this up because there is a news article out today about how Barack Obama wants to introduce a new law that regulates “assault weapons”–this includes magazines that hold more than 10 cartridges. I’ll [...]

Masters of Context: Recent Shortcomings of Conservative Media
Many recent media driven stories, mostly from the conservative side, have been increasingly disturbing in their complete disregard for the context of the story. In fact it is more than disregard, we are now at the point of outright lying. The Drudge/Breitbart machine has mastered this process. Every day drudge spoon feeds links to readers [...]
