Here’s another example of a reporter carefully sanitizing a left-leaning group as non-partisan. The link goes to an innuendo-filled article in the Christian Science Monitor about the Wisconsin Supreme Court election by CSM reporter Mark Guarino. Conservative David Prosser surged ahead in the vote count after 14,000 ballots were added to the state totals. The article begins with the darkly …
Kudos, John McCann. Kudos.

Virginia Congressman tells concerned veteran to sit down and be quiet
The budget crisis has indeed come down to the eleventh hour and a government shut-down seems imminent, however it’s not the closure of the federal offices that should concern Americans, it’s the disregard for the U.S. military. With three wars raging in the Middle East and humanitarian assistance the over-stretched forces are providing Japan, one would think lawmakers would insist …
Border Patrol nabs a fake BP truck filled with drugs

Applause for Mayor Sanders
I have been a harsh critic of Mayor Sanders at times. But I need to give credit where it is due; he worked with purveyors of competing reform plans to come up with a single ballot measure. This increases the odds that a measure will pass, because there will be a unified reform effort. Yesterday’s U-T has the news: The …
Glenn Beck will leave Fox News this year
Glenn Beck is banking on some “hope and change” of his own as he and Fox News will part ways, sort of.

The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Whitewashing of Left-Wing Lies Targeting Darrell Issa
The San Diego Union Tribune’s April 2nd story, Issa’s Earmarks Questioned, was based on a false allegation by the liberal think tank Center for American Progress that San Diego Union-Tribune reporter Jeff McDonald sanitized and white-washed to publicly present the remnants of wholly unfounded allegations. This one-sided story left out critical information: the clear reasons why Rep. Issa supported the widening of West Vista Way; the fact that in 2009 Rep. Issa stopped requesting earmarks altogether; and clear factual errors in the Center for American Progress’ false allegation.

TAX DEBATE SHOWS REPUBLICAN PARTY IS NOT DEAD
TAX DEBATE SHOWS REPUBLICAN PARTY IS NOT DEAD by Assemblyman Brian Jones From FlashReport – April 5, 2011 I have to chuckle at how the media is making a concerted, if not a silly effort to declare the Republican Party “dead” in California.
