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 been on the [...]

Before Culture of Corruption hit #1 on the NYTimes best-seller list and other lists this week, my friend Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny held the top spot for 12 weeks and has never ranked lower than #3 over the past 19 weeks. A truly amazing phenomenon. CNS reports:
While President Barack Obama and Congress have been [...]

The far Left Center for American Progress has its tentacles everywhere.
I noted in my column on the Internet Snitch Brigade this morning that former CAP operatives have been installed at HHS and work closely with the health care czar.
At Newsbusters, Seton Motley reports on the new FCC “Diversity Officer” — a racial engineering czar who [...]

Godwin’s Law gone wild.

I’m sure we’ll be hearing passionate condemnations of unhinged talker Mike Malloy’s mob threat from Bobby Gibbs and Josh Marshall any second now.
Civility!

Howard Kurtz at the Washington Post sheds a little light on how Rahm F’n Emanuel leaned on network news executives to carry President Obama’s health care news conference. It’s the Chicago way.
In the days before President Obama’s last news conference, as the networks weighed whether to give up a chunk of their precious prime time, [...]

Ouch, my sides hurt from laughing.
The Washington Post says its newsroom didn’t know about the pimp deal its business/marketing side was making. The flyer advertising pay-per-view meetings with Washington Post reporters and editors and Obama officials wasn’t properly “vetted,” the paper tells Politico.
Uh-huh:
Post spokesperson Kris Coratti has now sent the following statement to POLITICO:
[...]

Pimps and things.

Showtime.

Need another reason to be disgusted with the media’s never-ending Michael Jackson fixation?
Stephen Gordon notes:
Michelle Malkin and I had made suggestions that ABC News allow John Stossel to participate in their White House special with President Obama regarding the proposed government takeover of the health care industry. While ABC didn’t heed our sage [...]

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 sensitive/classified information about [...]

When your salary is funded by Big Labor, you must sing Big Labor’s tune. Very sad to see this pressure being put on the San Diego Union Tribune editorial board, one of the few large center-right boards that exist in the country.
Or…existed:
The union representing Los Angeles police officers is pressuring the owner of San Diego’s [...]

My syndicated column today takes another whack at the New York Times. Outside of the blogosphere and Fox News, the Fishwrap of Record’s admission that it spiked an election eve story on the possible illegal coordination between the Obama campaign and ACORN’s canvassing arm, Project Vote, has gotten zero scrutiny.
Fortunately, when the [...]

ObamACORN and the Fishwrap of Record.

Drool Bucket Award.

“Hand check, Larry!”

Just landed in my inbox:

ADC to Honor Helen Thomas at Convention and Inaugurate Journalism Scholarship
Washington DC | March 30th, 2009 | www.adc.org | Since the Kennedy Administration in the early 1960s many policies and initiatives have changed from President to President, but one thing has been consistent; the watchful eye of Arab-American Journalist Helen Thomas [...]

Twit vs. Twitter.

I’m scheduled to appear on Fox&Friends this morning at around 7:15am Eastern to talk about the Fishwrap Rescue and Recovery Act of 2009.
But first: COFFEE!

“Could I ask you about race?”

The Fishwrap Rescue and Recovery Act of 2009.

This would be funny if it were not so pathetic. Newspaper publishers want Google to adjust its search engine rankings to give preferential treatment to Old Media. The industry is in trouble and it’s looking for any help it can get — and anyone to blame:
Major media companies are increasingly lobbying Google to elevate their [...]

Boo-freaking-hoo.

That’s the headline in the NYTimes today:
“Administration Is Open to Taxing Health Benefits.”

To which one naturally responds: What isn’t the Administration Open to Taxing?

It was a beclowning. A cable castration. Sacrificial slaughter. Sadomasochist programming. But more than anything else, the Jon Stewart/Jim Cramer show was an object lesson. An object lesson in how the one thing the media/infotainment world loves to cover most is itself, itself, itself.
Here is a screenshot of the top half of Memeorandum, the [...]

RDS fizzles.

In in its announcement of the hiring of Ross G. Douthat as resident conservative op-ed contributor, the New York Times makes explicit its employment critieria for any pundit to the right of Dennis Kucinich:
You must “steer away from partisanship…or doctrine.”
You must “frequently criticize Republicans.”
Show a “concern for income equality.”
And be a “squishy pro-lifer.”

Tim Graham asks:
Would [...]

Shhhh: Journalist at work.

I like that. Gonna have to borrow that sometime.
Plus: If Chris Matthews were a James Bond villain, what James Bond villain would he be?
