January 24th, 2008 2:11 PM
Once again, the faux term "gun violence" is used as if the guns themselves are causing said violence, this time in a Miami Herald story. I have to say, this story by David Ovalle is amazing for the near Olympic grade gymnastics it shows as it twists the "tragedies" of death and casualties visited upon a family in the Little Haiti neighborhood into one blamed upon guns. The story starts off trying…

Miami Herald Keeping Jenne's (D) Under Lock and Key

December 6th, 2007 1:14 PM
Previously in NewsBusters, PJ Gladnick and I have blogged about South Florida newspapers, such as the Miami Herald, that have left out disgraced former Broward County Sheriff Ken Jenne's political affiliation.

Bozell Column: TV Critics Cheer Serial Killer-Slash-Hero

October 8th, 2006 6:35 AM

Showtime has a new series titled "Dexter," featuring actor Michael C. Hall in the title role, slobbered over by the critics for his role as the…
