Hardly Known: Carrier Plant's Workforce 50 Percent African-American
December 1st, 2016 11:24 PM
A friend told me he couldn't wait to see the videos of crowds of cheering Carrier workers when Donald Trump arrived at the company's plant in Indianapolis to celebrate management's decision to keep a substantial portion of its production there instead of moving it to Mexico.
If there such are photos or videos out there, I haven't seen them. There may be a reason for that apparent absence or lack…
USA Today Whitewashes Left's Violent Threats Directed at GOP Electors
November 23rd, 2016 1:01 PM
USA Today assigned three primary reporters, four additional contributors and two researchers to its coverage of the left's attempt to convince Republican Electoral College electors to betray their states' voters and their party.
The result, published early Wednesday morning, is "Harassment or Hail Mary? Electors feel besieged." Despite throwing all those resources into the story, there is no…

Press Mostly Fails to Communicate Violence, Goal of Anti-Trump Riots
November 15th, 2016 5:51 PM
The national is predictably failing to describe the true nature of the post-election "protests" and of the "protesters" involved who are upset at the presidential election's result.
We've seen versions of this movie before, repeatedly. As fellow NewsBuster Jeffrey Lord said on CNN yesterday, it's been going on for 50 years — only there are now more tools available to detect what we've always…

Press Lionizes Michelle Obama's Hypocritical Critiques of Trump
October 29th, 2016 8:00 PM
The press, as would be expected, is swallowing Michelle Obama's pose as being intensely offended by the alleged offenses of Donald and as a passionate defender of Hillary Clinton, showering praise on her as "Hillary's secret weapon" at seemingly every turn.
What a crock. Mrs. Obama has directly criticized the Clintons' conduct as First Family and its matriarch; instead of taking it back, she and…

As Hillary Has Black Turnout Woes, Black Trump Spox Baffles the Media
October 25th, 2016 10:16 PM
On Sunday, Hillary Campaign Manager Robby Mook dodged a question from Jake Tapper on CNN's State of the Union about indications that black turnout for the former Secretary of State in North Carolina during early voting has not been strong. Meanwhile, a black Trump supporter, who the press seems to believe can easily be turned into an object of ridicule, continues to run circles around them in…
Former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane Is Going to Jail
October 25th, 2016 5:16 PM
Channel 27 in Harrisburg reported today that former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane (D) has been sentenced to 10 to 23 months in prison for leaking grand jury materials to the media and then lying about it under oath. Kane was also sentenced to eight years of probation. She was convicted on August 15 of two felonies involving perjury, and seven misdemeanors.
Oregonian: 2.5-Percent Receipts Tax 'Could' Raise Consumer Prices
October 23rd, 2016 10:00 PM
I hope I'm right when I contend that most people in Oregon aren't as dumb as the writer of a photo caption in an article found at Oregon Live, the web site of the Oregonian, apparently is (or, one hopes, is only pretending to be). The caption's writer, commenting on a 2.5 percent gross receipts tax — not an income tax, but a tax off the top on sales — claims that "One question Oregonians have…

PolitiFact Wrong: Both Obamas Attacked Hillary During '08 Campaign
October 19th, 2016 3:20 PM
Today's installment of Stupid Fact Checks again goes after Politifact, this time on two items in one "fact check." First, the web site's Louis Jacobson claims that Michelle Obama couldn't possibly have been talking about the Clintons on August 12, 2007 when she told an audience about the importance of a First Family serving as a "role model" in the White House. It's obvious to any human without…

AP Claims Trump Wrong in Saying Bill Clinton 'Lost' His Law License
October 14th, 2016 9:56 PM
The latest installment of "Stupid Fact Checks" involves the Associated Press, which appears to be determined to deny the truth of any statement, no matter how obviously correct, made by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump or running mate Mike Pence. At Sunday's second debate, Trump said, "what President Clinton did, he was impeached, he lost his license to practice law, he had to pay an…
Natl. Press Fails to Spot Alarming Trend After Two More Slain Cops
October 10th, 2016 2:17 PM
Three police officers were shot by a gang member Saturday afternoon in Palm Springs, California. Two of them have died. The third suffered nonlife-threatening injuries and was expected to leave the hospital Sunday. Once again, the deadly motivation seen in Dallas and Baton Rouge just three months ago, the desire "to shoot police," emerged. With the exception of one local newspaper, the press is…
AP Omits Key Info on Group in Indiana Voter Registration Fraud Probe
October 8th, 2016 5:46 PM
Assuming it thinks that orchestrated voter registration fraud and fraudulent voting are legitimate problems, the Associated Press's Friday attempt to explain the developing situation in Indiana on Friday was woefully incomplete. Unlike in other instances of documented and alleged fraud cited during this election cycle, and perhaps only because law enforcement is involved, the AP has at least…
Over 1,000 Non-Citizens Registered to Vote in Just 8 VA Localities
October 5th, 2016 4:30 PM
On Sunday, I posted on the saga of Andrew Spieles, a member of the Young Democrats at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia who admitted to submitting fraudulent voter registrations for 19 dead people, and the national press's virtually complete disinterest in covering the story.
Spieles' activities, which have gained the attention of but not yet prosecution by law enforcement,…
Impulso a favor de Clinton en periódicos diocesanos despiertan alarma

October 5th, 2016 7:50 AM
En un reciente artículo titulado 'Díles Que Voten' publicado en El Pregonero, el periódico oficial de la Arquidiócesis de la ciudad de Washington, el redactor Miguel Vivanco va mucho más allá que escribir con comprensión sobre el futuro de los millones de inmigrantes ilegales en el país.
Alarm Over Clinton Push in Catholic Church's Spanish-Language Media

October 5th, 2016 7:45 AM
In an article titled Tell Them To Vote (Diles Que Voten), published in a recent edition of El Pregonero, the official Spanish-language newspaper of the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., staff writer Miguel Vivanco goes well beyond just paying obligatory lip-service to the illegal immigration cause which he and the ultra-liberal wing of the American “Catholic” world push incessantly.
