AP's Snow Funeral Story Holds on for 20 Grafs, Then Goes Classless
July 18th, 2008 1:26 AM
After the firestorm that erupted Saturday over the Associated Press's classless story on the death of former White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, I was hoping that the possibly-chastened wire service could get through its coverage of his funeral without getting in any gratuitous digs. In that horrid Saturday story (blogged at NewsBusters and BizzyBlog), the AP's Douglass K. Daniel, with the…
NYT Bashes Bush on Memorial Day, White House Strikes Back
May 26th, 2008 5:31 PM
It's Memorial Day, and the good folks at the New York Times thought it appropriate to not only attack the President's position on a new G.I. Bill, but also to despicably lambaste him for "[h]aving saddled the military with a botched, unwinnable war," and "having squandered soldiers’ lives and failed them in so many ways."On Memorial Day!Thankfully, White House press secretary Dana Perino has…
Helen Thomas Seizes on Photo of Dying Baby to Accuse US
April 30th, 2008 1:08 PM
Q. Is there any level to which Helen Thomas won't stoop?A. Apparently not.That's my conclusion, based on Thomas's exchange during today's press gaggle with White House Press Secretary Dana Perino. Here is the front page of today's Washington Post to which Thomas refers . A slide-show from WaPo's web edition contains another photo of what appears to be the same child, with this legend:Two-year-…
Jon Stewart with Dana Perino: Ari Fleischer, Ugly Serial Killer
March 17th, 2008 11:07 PM
White House press secretary Dana Perino appeared on The Daily Show Thursday night, and host Jon Stewart disparaged former spokesman Ari Fleischer as looking like a caveman. When Perino protested that Fleischer had a female following, Stewart cracked "Is that like the women who visit murderers in prison? Like the serial killer kind of a thing?" Perino said most questions don’t fluster her, except…
CNN’s Roberts Can’t Stop Calling Troop Surge in Iraq the ‘So-Cal
January 28th, 2008 5:12 PM
Over the course of at least nine months, CNN’s John Roberts has regularly labeled the troop surge in Iraq, the amassing of 28,000 additional troops in the country, the "so-called surge." Liberals, such as George Lakoff, have objected to the term "surge" in the past, since using the term would "subscribe to Bush’s misleading frame." Roberts' latest use of the phrase took place on Monday’s "…
White House Forces NYT to Change False Headline
December 20th, 2007 3:45 AM
It's a first. The New York Times is admitting that one of their headlines slamming the Bush White House was an outright lie. Such a lie that they had to change it when the White House complained. Of course, the original subhead had trumpeted how White House spokesman Dana Perino lied to the American people, but when Perino pointed out that she never even said what the Times claimed, they had to…
Bill O’Reilly Calls Helen Thomas a ‘Pinhead
December 4th, 2007 7:28 PM
As NewsBusters reported over the weekend, liberal antagonist Helen Thomas was deliciously smacked down during last Friday's press briefing by White House press secretary Dana Perino. Fox News's Bill O'Reilly must have heard about this wonderful event, for on Monday's "O'Reilly Factor," the conservative host played some of the encounter for his viewers, and then offered his own opinion. What…
Helen Thomas Smacked Down by Press Secretary Perino
December 1st, 2007 11:07 AM
White House Press Secretary Dana Perino gave conservatives and right-thinking Americans across the fruited plain an early Christmas present Friday by smacking down liberal antagonist and so-called "journalist" Helen Thomas. During Friday's press briefing, when Thomas pressured Perino about American troops killing people in Iraq, the Secretary scolded Thomas for her despicable behavior: Helen, I…
