I’m getting tired of commenting on Althouse, so I think that I’ll be avoiding the site for awhile. Although most of the commenters provide interesting comments, there are a few extremely tendentious leftish types who have taken on the personal mission of “beating back the right wing lies“. You can wreck a blog by (a) never [...]
Here’s what Ezra Klein wrote today: In another wrinkle they haven’t mentioned, Journolist included Gautham Nagesh, a Daily Caller reporter (he’s since moved to The Hill). He leaned conservative, and frequently disagreed with other members of the list. It also included almost 400-some other people. If I had thought there was some deep and dark [...]
Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller expands the the JournoList scandal with a new article by Jonathan Strong, showing how the formerly-secret internet listserv was used to coordinate a strategy to mute criticism of Rev. Jeramiah Wright during Obama’s campaign. The current mainstream media can still function with a tarnished reputation. But they leave a vacuum that legitimate, [...]

But as California environmentalists know, the best defense against brain cancer from cell phones is a tinfoil [...]
Charlie Rose, the wealthy and well-connected PBS talk show host, was on the participant list of this year’s Bilderberg conference in Spain.
Check out this ABC News clip: Meanwhile, Andrew Sullivan cherry-picks his critics and professes love for the courageous and manly journalist. (There’s a reason why he never opens comments on his posts.)
With respect to the rumor that he offered Rep. Joe Sestak a job if he would drop out of his race for reelection (an illegal quid pro quo), President Obama said that “I can assure the public that nothing improper took place.” To a former community organizer, propriety is a somewhat higher calling than legality.
