WaPo: When did Switzerland become Europe’s Saudi Arabia?

Hot Air (Free subscription) | 5 hours ago

Mona Eltahawy doesn't just blast the Swiss for their human-rights hypocrisy after voting to ban new construction of minarets over the weekend. The Muslim essayist also takes the occasion to blast Muslim critics of the referendum for their sudden hue and cry over human rights themselves. In today's Washington Post, ...

A week after the explosion of the current Climategate scandal revealing that leading climate scientists engaged in ongoing email conversations about how to hide or obfuscate the real data on global warming (or lack thereof), the Washington Post on November 25 editorialized on the matter. Like other establishment media types, the WaPo sought to make light of the shocking prospect of scientists...

WaPo: ObamaCare doesn’t do anything to reform deficits

Hot Air (Free subscription) | 30/11/2009

And that's a generous analysis by Lori Montgomery. It assumes that everything Harry Reid says about the Senate bill is both true and will come to pass, and it also blithely ignores the "doctor fix" that eliminates cuts in federal reimbursements for Medicare. And even with the Washington Post dancing ...

Moonbat WaPo Blogger: Nadal Hassan = General Patton = Sergeant York

Oozing the idiotic moral equivalence that contributes to the blind obnoxiousness of the progressive left, Anthony Stevens-Arroyo of the Washington Post’s On Faith blog compares Ft. Hood Islamist Mass Murderer Nidal Hassan to General George Patton and World War I...

WaPo Includes Link to RealClimate in Mann's Letter to the Editor

NewsBusters (Free subscription) | yesterday

I imagine the folks at the Washington Post thought they were being fair and balanced Tuesday when they published two letters to the editor that were skeptical of man's role in global warming as compared to one that supported Nobel Laureate Al Gore's view of the world. The only problem is that one letter was penned by someone very important to the Global Warmingist-in-Chief and the entire climate movement:...

WaPo picks Amazon

Bookninja (Free subscription) | yesterday

Now it’s one thing for a two-bit hustler/crack dealer of a books “journalist” like me to go around shilling for one store or another, but should a major, respected (read: print) outlet like the Washington Post be providing links to books for sale online? And how would they decide which company to use? Apparently the [...]

WaPo's On Faith: General Patton, Sgt. York Like Ft. Hood Shooter

NewsBusters (Free subscription) | yesterday

Anthony Stevens-Arroyo of the Washington Post’s On Faith blog took left-wing moral equivalency to new lows in a November 24 post where he compared Ft. Hood shooter Nidal Hassan to General Patton and World War I hero Alvin York. What does this mass murderer have in common with two American heroes, in Stevens-Arroyo’s view? All three recited what he labeled “bad prayers.” Matthew...

Jamison Foser: WaPo 's Bacon just uses misleading labels, he doesn't explain them

Media Matters for America (Free subscription) | 30/11/2009

Last week, Washington Post reporter Perry Bacon suggested GOP Sen. George Voinovich would vote against health care reform because he is a "strong fiscal conservative." As I noted at the time , that's an odd use of the label "fiscal conservative," given that health care reform would, according to the Congressional Budget Office, reduce the deficit . Well, today, a Post reader asked...

In Poll on the State of the GOP, WaPo Buries Anger Over Liberal Bias in Paragraph 36

NewsBusters (Free subscription) | 30/11/2009

In a 10,500 word story on the state of the Republican Party, Washington Post staff writers on Monday waited until paragraph 36 of a 37 paragraph article to highlight the overwhelming belief that the press is biased against Republicans. Jon Cohen and Dan Balz belatedly noted, "One rallying point for the GOP, though, is a broad perception among moderates, conservatives, and younger and older Republicans...

WaPo Feminist Says Palin News Was Sexist, But Palin Children ‘Tumbled Down the Stairs’

NewsBusters (Free subscription) | 30/11/2009

Washington Post staff writer Liza Mundy (author of a friendly book-length Michelle Obama biography) reviewed two books on women’s history for the Sunday Post , one by New York Times columnist Gail Collins and one by GOP political consultant (and CNN regular) Leslie Sanchez. Mundy wanted to admit that media coverage of Sarah Palin was sexist, but apparently that could not be acknowledged without...
