Liberal indoctrination at high schools and colleges isn't new or rare. The real story is that this incident was reported at all. STORY Hear it for yourself: LISTEN Posted by jeffgannon at 09:25 AM March 01, 2006 Conyers Ethics Questioned Former aides to Rep. John "King Moonbat" Conyers have accused the Michigan Democrat of forcing them to campaign work and personal errands including tutoring his child at taxpayers' expense. Let's see if the "everyone does it" defense makes this go away. Posted by jeffgannon at 09:11 AM February 28, 2006 A Rare Win For Free Speech Liberals who believe that "free speech is for me but not for thee" will be mourning today's Supreme Court ruling that permits protests outside abortion clinics. The decision reaffirmed that Congress has no authority to regulate political speech against abortion. It found that provisions of the Hobbs Act were being abused to prosecute and persecute those who exercised their First Amendment rights of assembly and free speech. The New York Times called it a "setback" for abortion clinics so the baby killers over at the National Organization for Women who were plaintiffs in the case and NARAL must be seething. Makes my day. Posted by jeffgannon at 10:58 AM February 27, 2006 Get Ready For Bike-Gate! Editor & Publisher is breathlessly reporting on the release of a politice report about President Bush's bicycle accident in Gleneagles, Scotland last year. Not only is this story not even newsworthy, but some of the quotes imply Bush should be criminally charged for the mishap. If "Bike-Gate" follows the same pattern as every other media manufactured scandal, look for David Gregory to ask Scott McClellan if President Bush will apologize, Rep. John Conyers will hold a hearing in a basement room of the Capitol and add a charge to the articles of impeachment he is compiling and Maureen Dowd will write a snarky column saying how the accident is symbolic of Bush's reckless leadership. Has anyone ever seen or heard of a report about the incident in 2002 when Hillary Clinton's entourage ran down a police officer as the New York senator raced to a fundraiser? I didn't think so. Posted by jeffgannon at 08:32 AM February 26, 2006 I Predicted This! - 2X in one week Washington journalists will become the focus of the defense team representing Scooter Libby. As I have been saying for many months, the accuracy and integrity of the Beltway scribes will be scrutinized in the Valerie Plame affair. Posted by jeffgannon at 10:18 AM February 23, 2006 No Beef in Libby Indictment Clarice Feldman at the American Thinker describes how Patrick Fitzgerald's case against Scooter Libby will eventually fall apart. Hopefully, it won't be before two dozen Washington reporters are called to the witness stand to answer the question: "What did you know about Valerie Plame and when did you know it?" Posted by jeffgannon at 10:48 AM February 22, 2006 The Anatomy of a Leak Ever wonder how leaks happen? The Hill provides some insight with a story a recent incident where a Bloomberg reporter was caught with confidential information obtained from a Congressional office. The U. S. Attorney has decided not to prosecute the reporter, but the investigation sheds light onto how sensitive and many times classified documents make it onto the front pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post. What is interesting about the case is that the ranking member of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, Rep. George Miller, a DEMOCRAT, called for public release of the information contained in the documents allegedly "stolen" by the reporter. Staffer to reporter: "I'm going to leave this confidential/classified document on my desk while I get a cup of coffee. Please don't read it, copy it or remove it or publish its contents. Will ten minutes be enough time?" Posted by jeffgannon at 08:53 AM February 21, 2006 I Predicted This! I am not given to crowing, but this one is too delicious for me to pass up. In a previous post about the announcement of a "redeployment" of the diplomatic corps by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, I predicted the story that came out in today's Washington Post, "Administration Critics Chafe at State Dept. Shuffle.". My January 19 post read in part: "Look for a Washington Post article from Walter Pincus about how many long-time employees are deciding to leave the State Department. This will be a good thing - they can all join Ann Wright and Cindy Sheehan in the ditch in Crawford, Texas." Ah, the Old Media - so predictable. Is it any wonder Karl Rove beats 'em every time? Posted by jeffgannon at 04:12 PM February 20, 2006 Matalin Stomps Gregory, Dowd "Meet the Press" was the best of the Sunday's "screaming head" shows. Mary Matalin, long-time advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney participated in a roundtable discussion about the hunting accident along with Paul Gigot of the Wall Street Journal, NBC White House correspondent David Gregory and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. TRANSCRIPT The half hour discussion opened up with Matalin carpet-bombing Gregory and Dowd over the press coverage of the incident. She talked about the "parallel universe" that the Washington press corps lives in and reminded the pair that the Cheney story was not all about them. Gregory was contrite; in fact he apologized for calling Scott McClellan a jerk on Tuesday. A network source tells me that because of the shouting match, it was decided that Kelly O'Donnell would take his place at Wednesday's briefing. Tim Russert, the host of MTP and the Managing Editor for NBC News choreographed Gregory's on-air mea culpa as the result of some "encouragement" from the White House. Matalin was taking no prisoners on Sunday, freezing Dowd with a withering look that said, "Don't try any of the snarky crap with me 'cause I'll cut ya!"

Dana Milbank, Washington Post White House correspondent Even his own newspaper doesn't. STORY Posted by jeffgannon at 10:01 AM February 18, 2006 Rumsfeld Say Al Qaeda Winning Media Battle Rummy's spot on in his assessment that al Qaeda is winning the media battle. Of course, it has ample assistance from the Old Media. Posted by jeffgannon at 06:39 PM February 17, 2006 The "Sensitive" New York Times Last week, I attended a presentation of the Kalb Report at the National Press Club and heard Byron Calame, Public Editor of the New York Times defend the newspaper’s decision not to publish the cartoons of Muhammad that have stirred up radical Islamists. Calame said that describing the cartoons was sufficient in reporting the story. While some might think that decision shows sensitivity, I see cowardice and hypocrisy. The New York Times wouldn’t print this picture unless was submerged in urine, covered with dung or featured a Bush-bashing hip-hop artist comparing himself to Christ. The New York Times wouldn’t print a picture like this unless it was a heinous act committed by an American soldier against an Iraqi detainee. The New York Times wouldn’t print a picture like this unless it was promoting a new gay-themed movie. Calame also made a weak argument that publishing the Muhammad cartoons might endanger NYT’s reporters in Muslim countries. However, it is a reminder that it isn’t Christians who are cutting people’s heads off. Posted by jeffgannon at 09:23 AM February 16, 2006 Old Media Angry Cheney Went To Fox Democrats and Old Media elites were clamoring for Vice President Dick Cheney to have a press conference to explain what happened in Texas last weekend. When Cheney sat down for a one-on-one with Fox News' Brit Hume, they went ballistic. CNN's Jack Cefferty suggested the Vice President was looking for a softball interview at the "F-word network." READ Now they are experiencing first hand how many Americans feel about the Old Media's protective bubble around Hillary Clinton. Hell hath no fury like a liberal media ignored.

STORY Posted by jeffgannon at 05:28 PM Dangerous Abortion Drug To Be Studied Feminists will be up in arms that RU-486 is going to be scrutinized. This is the drug they want young girls to be able to buy over the counter. Any other drug this dangerous would have been pulled off the market and an army of lawyers would be filing class action suits. Posted by jeffgannon at 12:56 PM February 10, 2006 Corruption in Maryland Even the Washington Post gets it. STORY Posted by jeffgannon at 09:02 AM Washington Post Downplays Importance of Plot A intelligence community leaker to the Washington Post is donwplaying the stunning revelation that a "second wave" of 9/11 attacks against the West Coast was foiled in 2002. The unnamed source says the announcement is more about politics than security. These people really are shameless. What would the headline be if the attack had taken place: "Bush Ignored Warnings of Second Wave"? Posted by jeffgannon at 08:47 AM Another CIA Leaker Comes Forward Paul R. Pillar, a former CIA officer has come forward with a blistering criticism of the Bush administration's use of pre-war intelligence. Not surprisingly, he chose to tell his story to the Washington Post's Walter Pincus. Read through the article to discover the Pillar had been an administration opponent that released a damaging report prior to the 2004 election. Sources now becoming subjects of news articles - imagine that! Now Pillar has left the agency. I'd say Porter Goss is cleaning up the mess at Langley, and not a moment too soon. Posted by jeffgannon at 08:35 AM February 07, 2006 Goss Cleaning House You can tell that CIA Director is doing exactly what he was sent to Langley to do. Listen to the babies whine to their friends and leak recipients at the Washington Post. Posted by jeffgannon at 05:59 PM Democratic Operative Nailed For Biased NSA Report Finally, a Republican on Capitol Hill is challenging the inherent bias within the institution. House Intel Committee Chair Peter Hoekstra is challenging a report on the NSA surveillance program produced by the "non-partisan" Congressional Research Service, that was prepared by a partisan Democrat on the staff. Posted by jeffgannon at 10:40 AM CIA Leaks Memo About Leak Investigation CIA Director Porter Goss is trying to clean up the mess at Langley, but he's not going to get any help from the insiders who have put America's secrets on the front pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post. ABC calls it a "witch hunt"; I call it long overdue. Posted by jeffgannon at 10:24 AM Taxpayer-Funded Liberal Indoctrination Program Faces Cuts Once again, taxpayer support for Public Broadcasting is being reduced in the budget just released by the White House.

Calame said that describing the cartoons was sufficient in reporting the story. While some might think that decision shows sensitivity, I see cowardice and hypocrisy. The New York Times wouldn’t print this picture unless was submerged in urine, covered with dung or featured a Bush-bashing hip-hop artist comparing himself to Christ. The New York Times wouldn’t print a picture like this unless it was a heinous act committed by an American soldier against an Iraqi detainee. The New York Times wouldn’t print a picture like this unless it was promoting a new gay-themed movie. Calame also made a weak argument that publishing the Muhammad cartoons might endanger NYT’s reporters in Muslim countries.

The decision reaffirmed that Congress has no authority to regulate political speech against abortion. It found that provisions of the Hobbs Act were being abused to prosecute and persecute those who exercised their First Amendment rights of assembly and free speech. The New York Times called it a "setback" for abortion clinics so the baby killers over at the National Organization for Women who were plaintiffs in the case and NARAL must be seething. Makes my day. Posted by jeffgannon at 10:58 AM February 27, 2006 Get Ready For Bike-Gate! Editor & Publisher is breathlessly reporting on the release of a politice report about President Bush's bicycle accident in Gleneagles, Scotland last year. Not only is this story not even newsworthy, but some of the quotes imply Bush should be criminally charged for the mishap. If "Bike-Gate" follows the same pattern as every other media manufactured scandal, look for David Gregory to ask Scott McClellan if President Bush will apologize, Rep. John Conyers will hold a hearing in a basement room of the Capitol and add a charge to the articles of impeachment he is compiling and Maureen Dowd will write a snarky column saying how the accident is symbolic of Bush's reckless leadership. Has anyone ever seen or heard of a report about the incident in 2002 when Hillary Clinton's entourage ran down a police officer as the New York senator raced to a fundraiser? I didn't think so.

The Hill provides some insight with a story a recent incident where a Bloomberg reporter was caught with confidential information obtained from a Congressional office. The U. S. Attorney has decided not to prosecute the reporter, but the investigation sheds light onto how sensitive and many times classified documents make it onto the front pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post. What is interesting about the case is that the ranking member of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, Rep. George Miller, a DEMOCRAT, called for public release of the information contained in the documents allegedly "stolen" by the reporter. Staffer to reporter: "I'm going to leave this confidential/classified document on my desk while I get a cup of coffee. Please don't read it, copy it or remove it or publish its contents.
