Republicans' healthcare plan, Karen Tumulty mislead about number of uninsured Americans - 5/21/2009

Senators Tom Coburn and Richard Burr and Reps. Paul Ryan and Devin Nunes have released a GOP universal healthcare proposal called the "The Patients' Choice Act of 2009" that you can read about here. As with many others, it misleads about the number of Americans who are without healthcare. The number frequently heard is 45 to 47 million, but that's not true: per the latest Censu...

Howard Chua-Eoan /Time falls for fake McCain advisor ("Marty Eisenstadt") - 5/14/2009

... Eoan is the news director of Time Magazine, so one might expect him not to fall for a hoax months after it's been revealed to be a hoax. Yet, the article "Tweets From a Washington Dinner (a.k.a. #nerdprom)" (link, via this) by him ("hchuaeoan") and an unknown person using "ssss1222" contains the following "tweet": Marty Eisenstadt, former McCain Advise...

Hilarious: NYT publisher Pinch Sulzberger praises NYT investor Carlos Slim - 5/03/2009

Time Magazine's "The 2009 TIME 100" features a blurb from New York Times publisher Pinch Sulzberger about Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim (link). The latter recently saved the NYT from bankruptcy by loaning them $250 million: I recently had the great pleasure of meeting Carlos Slim. He had decided to invest in the New York Times Co. and thought it would be a good idea to get to know...

Obama's "Open for Questions": even MSM notices how bad it was - 3/26/2009

... Likewise, Michael Scherer from Time Magazine offers this very good round-up of the "top" questions. The wastoids from NORML can't figure out how to ask one good question and concentrate on pushing that to the top, but by making obvious to anyone how such systems can be abused they might lead us to using better voting systems for future efforts. (And, their incessant bombarding of s...

Betsy Rubiner/ Time promotes illegal immigration for Postville (Agriprocessors) - 1/28/2009

Betsy Rubiner of Time Magazine offers "Iowa: What Happens When a Town Implodes" (link) about the aftermath of the Postville immigration raid; see the last link first if you aren't familiar with that issue.

Steve Schmidt should find a new line of work (immigration and the failed John McCain campaign) - 11/10/2008

Steve Schmidt - former chief strategist of the John McCain campaign - was interviewed by Ana Marie Cox about the various failures he was involved in and presumably he tries to defend himself against charges that he's completely incompetent; I didn't bother reading the whole thing (link) since this bit is all we need: If you look at the returns from the southwestern and mountain west stat...

Joe Klein misleads about Barack Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers - 10/16/2008

... and two of the stupidest are at Time Magazine's Swampland. A few days ago, Ana Marie Cox lied about (and later corrected) something someone said at a McCain rally. Today, repeat liar and explicit illegal immigration supporter Joe Klein is being extremely misleading about Barack Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers.

Karen Tumulty misleads for Barack Obama (Jeffrey Frederick) - 10/12/2008

Karen Tumulty of Time Magazine offers this bit of mainstream media wisdom designed explicitly to support Barack Obama. It starts with something that could have been written by the BHO campaign: If John McCain is as serious as he says about running a "respectful" campaign against an opponent he considers "a decent person," word hasn't yet trickled down to his newly opened s...

Ana Marie Cox/Time lies about quote at McCain rally - 10/11/2008

Wonkette, aka Ana Marie Cox of Time Magazine's Swampland offers "McCain Denounces Pitchfork-Wavers", yet another example of how McCain capitulating to the Democrats is a very bad idea (time-blog.com/swampland/2008/10/mccain_denounces_pitchforkwave.html). The update to that post says: Indeed, [John McCain] just snatched the microphone out the hands of a woman who began her question w...

Scott Shane/NYT's pro-BHO spin on Bill Ayers/Barack Obama collaboration - 10/04/2008

... including the Washington Post, Time magazine, the Chicago Sun-Times, The New Yorker and The New Republic, have debunked the idea that Obama and Ayers had a close relationship." (says) However, an earlier version of the article - the change not noted - had "The National Review" in place of "The New Republic". (link) Presumably that was just a mistake and not (like their ot...

John McCain ad was right and Barack Obama, MSM misled about BHO's kindergartener sex education bill - 9/16/2008

Earlier this month the John McCain campaign released an ad (link, video link) saying in part: "Obama's one accomplishment? Legislation to teach "comprehensive sex education" to kindergartners. Learning about sex before learning to read? Barack Obama. This has led to a wide variety of BHO supporters - specifically those in the MSM - calling McCain a liar. To a certain...

Betsy Rubiner/Time offers pro-illegal immigration propaganda (Agriprocessors, Iowa) - 5/29/2008

Betsy Rubiner of Time Magazine [1] offers a slab of pro-illegal immigration propaganda called "After Immigrant Raid, Iowans Ask Why" (link). The raid in question occured at the Agriprocessors plant in Postville earlier this month, and her article could have been written by that company or anyone else who supports profiting from illegal immigration. The only mention of those who support o...

Tim Padgett's dishonest look at illegal immigration ("Paraiso Travel" movie) - 3/15/2008

Tim Padgett of Time Magazine offers "An Honest Look at Illegal Immigration", about yet another pro-illegal immigration movie, this one called "Paraiso Travel" and starring John Leguizamo: ...Immigration cranks like Lou Dobbs, but also the immigration advocates he lambastes, would do well to stop the cable cacophony for a couple hours and see this movie when it hits U.S. screens...

Jay Newton-Small/Time misleads about immigration (Huckabee, Tancredo, INS) - 12/22/2007

Joe Klein of Time Magazine explicitly supports illegal immigration - 10/24/2007

... activity. Here's Joe Klein of Time Magazine coming out explicitly in favor of illegal immigration [1]: It's long been my belief that the GOP hole card in 2008 is going to be a rancid furriner-bashing anti-illegal-immigrant smear campaign.

Dan Balz (WaPo), Mark Halperin (Time) relentlessly interrogate Rudy Giuliani - 8/07/2007

... "WaPo") and Mark Halperin (Time Magazine) relentlessly interrogating Rudy Giuliani. They even did it in the aisles of the WalMart in Boone, Iowa... as Rudy was buying granola bars! These two lions of the MSM relentlessly quizzed him in a "take no prisoners" approach that amateur journalists cannot hope to match. First, they asked if there should be CostCo's and WalMarts i...

Joe Klein/Time Magazine: just a sleazy liar - 5/31/2007

... his latest column, Joe Klein of Time Magazine discusses Mitt Romney, and says: [Romney] has flipped on immigration, to better suit the Mexican-fearing tendencies of a segment of the Republican base. That's a sleazy statement which tries to give the impression that opposition to massive illegal activity and massive public and private corruption is due to xenophobia and racism. Now for an exam...

Swampland, but without Wonkette (Ana Marie Cox)? - 5/07/2007

I continue to be amazed that Time Magazine has stooped to the National Inquirer level of employing Ana Marie Cox - formerly with Wonkette - as their Washington Editor and a contributor to their blog Swampland. Now, there's something you can do about it! Simply use Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension, together with this handy-dandy script that will remove all posts by Wonkette from Swampla...

Miami: Third World Country, Capital of the Americas - 11/30/2006

As discussed, Rep. Tom Tancredo called Miami a "third world country", setting off a firestorm of (largely manufactured) outrage, including a missive from Our Leader's brother, Jeb Bush. "What a nut," Bush told reporters [Wednesday]. "I'm just disappointed. He's from my own my party. He's a Republican.

DSCC: complaining about illegal immigration isn't racist - 8/15/2006

A new web-only video ad from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) tries to "Impugn[ the] GOP Claim That We're Safer". It includes a shot of an illegal alien climbing over a wall with the caption "millions more illegal immigrants". While it's certainly good to see the Democrats slightly waking up to the fact that there are indeed untold millions of forei...

Mike Pence's "W" worker visa illegal alien amnesty scheme - 5/24/2006

Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) has introduced a "middle-ground" illegal alien amnesty scheme. It seeks to split the difference between the full-on amnesty in the Senate and the supposed only other choice of mass deportations. (As usual, the other choice of simply enforcing our current laws is not mentioned). As Rep. Tom Tancredo says: Pence's plan would require illegal aliens to return ...

Time Magazine poll: Large Majority Favors "Guest Workers" - 3/31/2006

If a new Time Magazine poll is to believed, around 72 percent of Americans favor a "guest" worker scheme of some kind. Of course, the "is to believed" part is our taking-off-point to mention that the poll question only gave two choices: 1. Allow Illegal Immigrants To Get Temporary Work Visas 2.

"Illegalize illegals: Time for showdown in open frontier" - 12/16/2004

William F. Buckley Jr.: The new intelligence law, courtesy of 9/11, is mystifying because it does not face directly what is the most prominent threat to homeland security. It is: inimical action by non-Americans. All the people who participated in 9/11 were foreigners, here under various auspices.

"Big immigration waves nearing political beach" - 12/02/2004

From a Palm Beach Post editorial: Social Security used to be considered the untouchable "third rail" of American politics, but immigration soon may replace it. Both candidates bobbed and weaved around the subject during the presidential campaign, and neither party has offered credible ideas for reform, fearing the political implications of being the first to propose unpopular solutions ...

"Border War in Arizona" - 10/04/2004

Time Magazine has a somewhat biased blurb about Arizona's Prop. 200. They even use the phrase "anti-immigrant", just like the Arizona Republic. Nevertheless, it contains this interesting bit: ...The measure could affect the presidential race in a state where Bush and Kerry are running neck and neck. Some opponents hope it will galvanize Hispanic voters, which could boost Kerry'...

"<i>Time</i> to Take Illegal Immigration Seriously" - 9/16/2004

... Heather MacDonald comments on TIME Magazine's recent cover story: ...Time magazine just may have started a revolution in the mainstream press's attitude towards illegal immigration. For decades, public outrage over illegal immigration met only scorn or indifference from the elite media.
