Will media call Justice Thomas out-of-the-mainstream?
http://mediamatters.org/blog/200906250020 "At Media Matters, we have noted media coverage of conservative attacks against Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor for supposedly being outside the mainstream or an activist, attacks that are often based on misrepresentations of Sotomayor's record. Rather than simply parroting these attacks, the public would be better served if the media reported that one justice on the Supreme Court has repeatedly demonstrated himself to be out of the Court's mainstream: Justice Clarence Thomas. Indeed, perhaps the media should be asking how progressive a new nominee has to be in order to counterbalance Thomas.Muslim Suffers Bruised Ego in Fort Hood Tragedy
by Ann Coulter 11/11/09 The massacre at Fort Hood last week is the perfect apotheosis of the liberal victimology described in my book "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America." According to witnesses, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan entered a medical facility at Fort Hood, prayed briefly, then shouted "Allahu akbar" before he began gunning down American troops. Now I don't know which to be more afraid of: Muslims or government-run health care systems.The Pulitzer-Winning Investigation That Dare Not Be Uttered on TV
((I'm still working out how to highlight stuff - sorry)) Published on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 by Salon.com by Glenn Greenwald The New York Times' David Barstow won a richly deserved Pulitzer Prize yesterday for two articles that, despite being featured as major news stories on the front page of The Paper of Record, were completely suppressed by virtually every network and cable news show, which to this day have never informed their viewers about what Bartow uncovered. Here is how the Pulitzer Committee described Barstow's exposés: Awarded to David Barstow of The New York Times for his tenacious reporting that revealed how some retired generals, working as radio and television analysts, had been co-opted by the Pentagon to make its case for the war in Iraq, and how many of them also had undisclosed ties to companies that benefited from policies they defended. By whom were these "ties to companies" undisclosed and for whom did these deeply conflicted retired generals pose as "analysts"?A blogger from Norway on Coverage of Fort Hood Massacre
Fort Hood Massacre: A Day of Courage and Cowardice A self-described "devout Muslim" who praised suicide bombers opens fire on brave American soldiers — and most people in the mainstream media insist there is no sign of terror. November 6, 2009 - by Bruce Bawer The brave soldiers who were massacred at Fort Hood had trained to fight the jihadist enemy abroad. But they seem to have ended up being murdered by the same enemy on American soil, in a place where they thought they were safe — murdered, apparently, because a series of military and medical officials recognized what was going on with this major and chose to do nothing about it.What have I been saying about local politics, it seems like forever.
Glenn Harlan Reynolds: It's the follow-through that matters in New York's special race By: Glenn Harlan Reynolds Sunday Reflections Contributor Next week's special congressional election in New York's 23rd Congressional District seems to have the entire political class in an uproar. Mainstream Republican pols like former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are afraid it portends a grass-roots revolt, or, worse, a third party for 2012. Surging tea partiers hope it represents an opportunity to make mainstream Republican pols take them seriously.Just when you thought mainstream media couldn't be more partisan....
In a discussion about the conservative backlash to the President's speech to schoolchildren on September 8: "Then it was on to John Harwood of MNSBC and the New York Times. JOHN HARWOOD: In this case you've got a lot of people who are truly agitated about [the president's school speech] and I think partly that's the polarization continuing over time. And partly it's simply because Barack Obama is a different kind of president: first African-American, international elements of his background.The Media’s Complicity: Analysis of ACORN Coverage
The Media’s Complicity: Analysis of ACORN Coverage by Billy Hallowell The mainstream media were complicit in their coverage of the ACORN scandal. Their behavior was and continues to be an insult to democracy and journalistic responsibility as the Fourth Estate has ignored facts, engaged in one-sided sourcing, and avoided basic and inherently important journalistic questioning. bertha lewis press club First, there was avoidance....the second time it is played as farce
BREITBART: Podesta spends Soros' money stupidly Every journalism inquiry from the mainstream media continues to focus on the successful operation that exposed ACORN, not on ACORN itself, as if there is no evidence to sift through or common traits to be found in the videos. Why is the story about journalistic process rather than institutional corruption? The Washington Post and the Associated Press have had to issue embarrassing retractions for falsely implying Mr. O'Keefe's motives were racist.The New Liberalism and the end of American ascendancy.
