Arizona Daily Star drops Ann Coulter; "liberal" bloodlust not sated - 8/30/2005

Ann Coulter's column has been dropped by the Arizona Daily Star. About the only good thing that can be said about that paper is that they aren't quite as "liberal" as the AZ Republic. Apparently she was too "shrill" for some of their readers, whose sensibilities were offended. Some of those readers included conservatives.

Soros-funded Media Matters deletes yet another comment - 8/03/2005

Their message control is getting pretty funny. Perhaps I should start a new category just for my comments that they've deleted. The latest is the comment I left in "In NY Times book review, Posner rehashed tired "liberal media" claims". Yes, of course I saved my comment: If you go to BoreAmerica you'll see that it's been over 7 days since the Air America scan...

Soros-funded Media Matters still deleting comments - 7/15/2005

To the best of my knowledge, even the Huffington Post has published and not deleted the several comments I've left there, even on their moderated threads. However, MediaMatters for America - the outfit that receives funding from George Soros - has deleted my comments in the past, and it looks like they've done it again. The latest was on the thread 'Limbaugh blasted Mehlman's r...

Soros-funded Media Matters now deleting comments? - 5/25/2005

Media Matters - which admits it receives money from George Soros - appears to have deleted several comments from this thread about Bill O'Reilly discussing Harvard's plan to spend $50 million to promote "faculty diversity." O'Reilly said: "Any woman who signs on to work at Harvard gets 100 pair of shoes ... because all women want shoes." I left a sarcastic commen...

91% think illegal immigration is a very or somewhat serious problem. - 5/04/2005

According to a new Fox News / Opinion Dynamics poll about immigration, 91% of respondents think illegal immigration is a very or somewhat serious problem. The report is here. The PDF file with the questions and the results is here. Here's the actual question that was asked: How serious a problem do you believe the illegal or undocumented immigration situation is in the United States today?

Media Matters doesn't understand epidemiology, statistics, immigration - 4/23/2005

Media Matters for America is taking Bill O'Reilly to task for agreeing with a caller that the health and financial impacts of massive illegal immigration might equal or surpass the effects of 9/11. On the site, Media Matters - which admits it receives money from George Soros - prints a supposed transcript from the Bill O'Reilly show. Notably, O'Reilly says "I think you could pr...

Be patient, my super wealthy friends, our time will come! - 4/20/2005

From "Soros says be patient": George Soros told a carefully vetted gathering of 70 likeminded millionaires and billionaires last weekend that they must be patient if they want to realize long-term political and ideological yields from an expected massive investment in "startup" progressive think tanks. The Scottsdale, Ariz., meeting, called to start the process of building ...

The George Soros/Media Matters/David Brock network discovered - 3/04/2005

... Backpedals on Soros Funding": Media Matters for America, the group headed by conservative turned liberal writer David Brock, has changed course on its stated association with billionaire l

Is Hiawatha Bray really a real reporter? - 3/02/2005

The latest smearswarm attempt from MediaMatters concerns someone you've probably never heard of, the Boston Globe's technology reporter Hiawatha Bray. Seems he posted a few non-inflammatory pro-Bush posts to some blogs before the presidential election. A violation of journalistic ethics? Perhaps. However, one wonders exactly how Bray's political beliefs could affect his coverage of ...

"Left-Wing Activist Poses as Reporter At White House Press Briefings" - 2/15/2005

Where, indeed, is the outrage? WASHINGTON -- Accuracy in Media charged today that a liberal activist and associate of Ralph Nader has been obtaining access to White House press briefings while claiming to be a legitimate news reporter. Russell Mokhiber, who sells a $795 a year newsletter that bashes corporations, attends the briefings to make obscure anti-Bush political points. Recently, for exam...

I have one more thing to monitor - 5/03/2004

I'm already (supposedly) monitoring AirAmerican Radio for my new blog BoreAmerica.com. Now, conservative-turned-Loony-Leftie David Brock has started a web site to monitor the right.

24Ahead.com

Independent, in-depth coverage of immigration, politics, and media bias since 2002. Also: multiculturalism, Los Angeles, California, privacy, and occasionally celebrities and wacky humor...
