ACORN exposé duo rooted in conservative ideology. So despite the rest of the ENTIRE J-school and media industry being rooted in liberal ideology, this duo is "slanted" because they are conservative? They might be "slanted" but the rest of the MSM is bent.
POLITICAL CORRUPTION Ex-Democratic fundraiser sentenced to 24 years This guy has connections to our current Secretary of State and Obama but the MSM aren't even mentioning that in their reports. A corruption two-fer!
ACORN's Man in the White House. Having someone with ACORN connections in the White House makes Van Jones look like a good idea.
Get Deported, Get a Refund Full disclosure, years ago I used to work for BNA. Anyways, apparently there are groups who are helping illegal immigrants get tax refunds presumably based on false tax identification numbers.

Che Day Anyone celebrating Che should crawl back under their rocks. Might as well be sporting a Hitler or Mao or Stalin T-shirt as a Che one. Dumbasses.
I define corruption not only as wrong-doing but wrong-thinking. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but calling people racist because they disagree with you is wrong-thinking and therefore corrupt. Claiming something is true when it is not is wrong-thinking and therefore corrupt. Keeping poor people poor through deliberate government policy is wrong-thinking and therefore corrupt. You get the picture. I am posting these examples of corruption because I believe in naming and shaming.
POLITICAL CORRUPTION Progressivism? Not so fast, folks. Personally I believe progressivism is socialism-lite and the political gateway drug from center liberalism to far-left communism.
WHY?!? ACORN Awarded $1M Grant Over Firefighters. Nearly $1 million in Homeland Security funding typically earmarked for fire departments has been awarded to ACORN, despite a clear signal from Congress that it intends to cut off federal funding to the embattled group.
Ayers Dreams of Obama. Increasing evidence that domestic terrorist William Ayers ghost-wrote Obama's autobiography? Right now it is hearsay based on this, Obama a Liar??? Ayers admits to writing Obama's book. We will see but I doubt we can trust anything Ayers says as does PowerLine. There's more and I'm beginning to wonder is he saying yes he wrote it when he didn't in order to make Obama's opponents look stupid or is he saying yes he wrote it when he did in order to make Obama look stupid? Or is he just another leftwing hipster douche bag playing mind games in order to get media attention?
As others have noted, the great thing about Glenn's formulation "They told me if I voted for McCain..." is that it works pretty much for every single act of Obama's to date.
Is the ‘Age of America’ Really at an End? By some reports, China's economy will surpass the U.S. in "purchasing parity" by 2016. Does this mean that the U.S. is on the way out as a superpower
UPDATE: Reader Steve Elmers writes: “Obama has given new meaning to ‘Scorched Earth Politics!’ I believed for a long time that POTUS Obama was just a bad president; I have now come to believe he is a bad person. This same scenario has played out over and over again. Remember the Nashville floods last year?”
I never got a job from a poor man. The Welfare State and the Selfish Society. Capitalism teaches people to work harder; the welfare state teaches people to want harder. Which is better?
Obama's Health Plan Offers Medicare Cuts, Tax Increases First, Benefits Later.Under President Obama's health care bill, federal subsides to help low- and middle-income households to pay for health insurance won't start flowing until 2013, but Medicare cuts and a sizable chunk of the tax increases to pay for the overhaul kick in immediately.
Related from AP: Wait for benefits is 3 years if health care passes. First we pay more taxes for three years and then we lose all our healthcare choices because they are now being dictated to us by a nameless and faceless bureaucrat? Good Times.
NOAA: Warmest June Ever! Caveat: We Made It Up (Corrected) NOAA and GISS claim a warm Arctic region made this June a record-breaker. They don't have a single thermometer in the Arctic!
The Deepwater Horizon Spill by the NumbersAs days stretched into weeks, then weeks into months, BP's Deepwater Horizon wellhead continued to spew millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. From the latest figures released by Unified Incident Command—a joint venture between BP, Transocean and multiple government agencies—we give you the facts and figures to put the spill in perspective.
From Maureen Down (1) Isn’t It Ironic? She's refering to Biden in the title but uses it as cover to hit Obama.
The former constitutional lawyer now in the White House understands that the press has a role in the democracy. But he is an elitist, too, as well as thin-skinned and controlling. So he ends up regarding scribes as intrusive, conveying a distaste for what he sees as the fundamental unseriousness of a press driven by blog-around-the-clock deadlines.
The 21st-century press beast is a scary multimedia monster, caught up in the trite as well as the vital, and reporters rarely can be as contemplative as the cerebral Obama would like.
Sometimes on the campaign plane, I would watch Obama venture back to make small talk with the press, discussing food at an event or something light. Then I would see him literally back away a few moments later as a blast of questions and flipcams hit him.
But that’s the world we live in. It hurts Obama to be a crybaby about it, and to blame the press and the “old Washington game” for his own communication failures
The Press and Obama: Where’s that Lovin’ Feeling?In just a year and a half, the president has squandered the nearly universal support of the mainstream press by his incompetent handling of the BP oil spill.
The cynical and unrealistic White House budget. Basically, this budget isn't about helping America or Americans but about forcing fiscal conservatives (both democrat and republican) to make the hard decisions so when the howls of fiscal pain rise, Obama can claim he had nothing to do with it. Stinkin' sack of selfish ... In short, Obama is playing politics with both our national fiscal survival and our personal finances for his own personal ego.
China should enjoy its triumph while it lasts. For China finally to have overtaken Japan as the world's second largest economy is a moment more important for its symbolism than its underlying significance.
