Sigh. Let me say that again: Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. If you were unfortunate enough to watch Saturday night’s GOP debate in New Hampshire, you saw a pageant of feckless non-Romneys fail to step up to the plate and forcefully challenge Mitt Romney’s presumptive claim to the GOP presidential nomination. Newt Gingrich, who has spent the last week [...]

People make honest mistakes. When right-leaning people make them, Soros-funded Media Matters turns it into Apocalypse Now and an opportunity to discredit all of conservatism. But when liberal journos err, it’s like the proverbial trees falling in the forest. Does anybody hear the muffled sound? Last night while I was on Twitter, a few left-leaning [...]

Will the New York Times ombudsman respond to this serious charge from a fellow mainstream journalist — or will it be whitewashed away? David Newhouse, editor of the Patriot-News, has blown the whistle on the Fishwrap of Record’s reckless disclosure of identifying details about one of Penn State accused child predator/rapist Jerry Sandusky’s victims: The [...]

(Photoshop via Doug Ross) The last time I blogged about David Brooks’s bloviations, I opened by asking: “How much of a tool is New York Times columnist David Brooks?” Brooks answers the question himself in his latest column: I’m a sap, a specific kind of sap. I’m an Obama Sap. When the president said the [...]

The editor of the New York Times just got religion: He thinks it’s time to ask GOP presidential candidates “tougher questions about faith.” Oh, brother, where wast thou in 2008? The Fishwrap of Record led the whitewashing of Barack Obama’s wacky black liberation theology pals and freaky-deaky Chicago pastors. Now, the skews-paper is ready to [...]

**Written by Doug Powers It only stands to reason that if the 4th of July is more of a Republican holiday, it must be inherently bad for the environment. I mean, that’s what Republicans are all about, right? Fortunately, an op-ed in the New York Times is there to help “green” our Independence Day feast: [...]

Just awful. Let’s hope the missing journalists are indeed in Libyan government custody and will be released safely ASAP. My heart goes out to the families. Our family knows the kind of hell they are going through right now. Praying for a safe return: Four New York Times journalists covering the fighting in Libya were [...]

My column today spotlights the left-wing/New York Times alliance against Chick-Fil-A. Anti-corporate/anti-Christian blogs + MSM advocacy journalism = job-sabotaging smear machine. Chick-Fil-A isn’t the only one in the restaurant industry targeted by the progressive mob over the past month. The SEIU has been waging open-borders attacks on restaurant chain Chipotle simply because the company complied [...]

(Image credit: PTG, 2006 NYT blabbermouths photoshop contest 2006) Last week, it was the Washington Post spilling the beans on the nation’s post-9/11 top-secret infrastructure. Today, it’s the NYTimes dutifully splashing vengeful Wikileaks’ massive document dump on our Afghanistan military strategy. The Times tries not to break its collective arm patting itself on the back [...]

Well, it’s good to see the New York Times finally paying attention to Democrats who tell bogus war stories: At a ceremony honoring veterans and senior citizens who sent presents to soldiers overseas, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut rose and spoke of an earlier time in his life. “We have learned something important since [...]

This is Charles Blow. Blow is an African-American columnist for the New York Times. He flew down to the Dallas Tea Party to see what he could see. He saw what he wanted to see and he might as well have used the new smear term from Tea Party-bashers that I noted last week: “Tea [...]

The AJC’s Cynthia Tucker blogged today about a testy exchange we had last summer on ABC’s “This Week” regarding government unemployment benefits and the effect that endless extensions have on reducing the incentive to seek a job. Once again, she mistakes standard economic arguments for moral judgments: “Does the right really believe the unemployed are [...]

Longtime readers know that fearless young conservative firebrand Jason Mattera has been a great friend of mine and of Hot Air’s for years. You also know from his countless videos that he’s got a Brooklyn accent thickah than an old-growth redwood tree. Yesterday, he gave a rousing, raucous speech at CPAC in Washington, D.C. To [...]

So, apparently a top Taliban commander has been captured in a joint secret operation by Pakistan and the U.S. He is apparently a big, big fish and reportedly is being interrogated by officials from both countries: The commander, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, is an Afghan described by American officials as the most significant Taliban figure [...]

(Photoshop via Doug Ross) New York Times columnist David Brooks will never let an opportunity pass to remind you that he is an intellectual and you are a grimy member of the unwashed masses. His column today pays a back-handed tribute to the success of the Tea Party movement…while bemoaning the decline of influence among [...]

The sky is falling.

White Christmas.

Scroll for updates…Kristof non-responds…holes remain… Today, I did something that Pulitzer Prize-winning NYTimes columnist Nick Kristof apparently didn’t do: I talked to a spokesman at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon. I called them up after OHSU’s Dr. Johnny Delashaw left a comment about Kristof’s piece spotlighting the horrible plight of John Brodniak, [...]

Holes.

See update: Brodniak sob story debunked! Nick Kristof is the recipient of not one, but two Pulitzer Prizes for journalism. He has traveled the world, writes critically acclaimed books, and counts Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie among his glamorous friends. He is also the author of what may quite possibly be the crappiest New York [...]

Tough times at the NYTimes: October 19, 2009 , 2:49 pm Times Says It Will Cut 100 Newsroom Jobs By Richard Perez-Pena The New York Times plans to eliminate 100 newsroom jobs – about 8 percent of the total – by year’s end, offering buyouts to union and non-union employees, and resorting to layoffs if [...]

Photoshop credit: Leo Alberti The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports tonight that the ACORN/Rathke embezzlement sum was $5 million, not the widely cited $1 million figure admitted publicly to date by the left-wing racketeering group. But guess what? The figure is not new — and it is not news to the whitewashers at the New York [...]

“Insufficient tuned-in-ness.”

Who said it: “The real story to all this is how these myriad entities allow them to shuffle money around so much that no one really knows what’s getting spent on what.”

Just got the news from Regnery this afternoon: Culture of Corruption is #1 on the New York Times best-seller list for the 5th week in a row. Bottomless thanks again to all of you who have bought the book, shared it, spread the word, and used it as a resource to create real Hope and [...]

The NYTimes has a round-up of blog posts decrying Jenna Bush’s new job at the Today Show and assailing nepotism run amok in the world of political families. Can you spot the missing words? One starts with “K” and ends with “Y.” And rhymes with “TENNEDY.” Also missing: A word that starts with “B” and [...]

Torrid.

Mark Levin held the #1 spot on the NYTimes best-seller list for 12 weeks this summer. Culture of Corruption has held the top spot for the past 3 weeks. Glenn Beck’s latest book has topped the paperback non-fiction list for 9 weeks. The latest broadside against Obama from Dick Morris and Eileen McGann has also [...]

Would Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales have done this for Fox News or the Washington Times? And if he had/has, wouldn’t the New York Times editorial page blast him for colluding to suppress information from the public? For seven months, The New York Times managed to keep out of the news the fact that one of [...]

I am glad New York Times reporter David Rohde is safe. But I have questions. Is the safety of journalists more important than the safety of our military? The safety of our homeland? From September 11, 2001 to the present, the terror-tipping blabbermouths of the New York Times have repeatedly undermined national security by disclosing [...]
