Yes, indeed
From a commenter at Ace’s: Romney could resuscitate a dying man on a campaign stop and the media would focus on the way he wrinkled the man’s shirt.

We are living in an Orwellian world…
…and I’m not an Orwellian girl. Apologies to Madonna, but it seems that in terms of disinformation and propaganda, we are living in an Orwellian world (or at least a Pravda-esque world). And if the American people aren’t sharp enough … Continue reading →
Competitor in Chief
I was astounded to read this portrait of Obama that appeared in last Sunday’s NY Times magazine section. There’s plenty about how smart he is, and what a hard-driving perfectionist, but does the Times really think this sort of thing … Continue reading →
Fact-checking the “fact-checkers”
James Taranto calls them “the Pinocchio Press”—referring, not to the Pinocchio awards they hand out when they judge a politician to be lying, but the lies they tell themselves in the supposed service of truth-telling. I think a better term … Continue reading →
Ah, the mendacity!
It’s fascinating, in a depressing sort of way, to see the speed, depth, and breadth of the “Republicans lie!” meme spread through the MSM and left side of the blogosphere, and then be parroted back by simpatico commenters. There is … Continue reading →
The “Paul Ryan, liar” meme continueth

Anderson Cooper actually seems annoyed by Wasserman Schultz’s lies
Anderson Cooper jumps on the media truth squad, at least for this one exchange. Note that, although something seems to really get his goat about Wasserman Schultz’s misquoting of the LA Times, as well as her refusal to admit she’s … Continue reading →
Apparently…
…the liberal media can’t take a joke. Some things (birth certificates?) are just too sacred for levity. At least by Romney. If Obama makes the funny it’s perfectly fine. And here’s a pretty good explanation of the mentality of the … Continue reading →
Norah O’Donnell takes Obama to task
Something’s been going on with the MSM lately. First it was the Boston Globe, criticizing Biden’s “chains” remark. Then it was Tina Brown’s Newsweek, publishing a Niall Ferguson cover story on why Obama needs to go. Then we got Politico‘s … Continue reading →
Ryan Derangement Syndrome: MoDo’s got it bad
Paul Ryan has flummoxed the left. They know he’s evil, and yet he seems like such a nice guy. Therefore he’s doubly evil, because his smiling facade houses a soul so dark. Witness Maureen Dowd’s latest column on the man, … Continue reading →
