STOP RUSH? Good Luck With That!!!

So, the good people (???) at Media Matters For America (a Liberal hate group, which spreads misinformation nationwide) have been carrying on a "grass-roots" smear campaign against Rush Limbaugh's radio show, trying to intimidate local businesses from advertising on Rush's syndicated radio show (which is run on 600 radio stations).  Over here, the Heritage Foundation …

Do You Get Your News From the NY Times? You are NOT Getting News!

If you are one of the majority of Americans who gets their news from what is commonly called the "mainstream media" (NYTimes,WAPo,ABC,NBC,CBS,CNN...), then you are NOT getting news.  You are getting opinion.

Could the Worldwide Media Help Stop Terrorists?

Here's an idea.  How about if ALL the world's largest media entities simply stopped publishing any pictures or video of terrorists.  No YouTube, no Facebook, no Twitter, NO PICTURES OF ANY KIND.  They would still publish stories, but no pictures would show Islamic Butchers beheading journalists, blowing up mosques, or shooting their machine guns from …

How About Some Facts About the Ferguson Situation

It seems to me that the majority of media and bloggers have been operating from a position of immediately jumping to conclusions, based on inaccurate and biased information.  The standard narrative has been "a white cop shot and killed an unarmed black teenager".  Unspoken are the assumptions: That the cop shot the teenager without provocation …

I’m Going to Wade Right in: Why do we Need BlogHer?

If you pay attention to the Daily Post on WordPress, you saw a couple of posts regarding BlogHer, the convention/meeting for women bloggers.  Now, there's absolutely nothing wrong with a bunch of women who are bloggers getting together to trade tips, techniques, and stories, but I fail to see why there is a crying need …

Why I am not on Facebook (or Twitter)

I often have friends ask me why I am not on Facebook, since they all are.  They are constantly updating their profiles, and commenting on their news feeds.  They also complain a lot about other users violently disagreeing with them on Facebook, and doing so using nasty language.
