By Selwyn Duke The Democrats have the best public-relations team in the world. It’s called the U.S. media. As a consequence, the Republicans essentially have to spot the Democrats a certain number of points every election. How much do the media steal for statists? While it’s hard to say if the figure is 10, 15…

Selwyn Duke In the Republican debate on Wednesday, moderator Maria Bartiromo raised the issue of the sexual-harassment allegations that have plagued Herman Cain. “Why should the American people hire a president if they feel there are character issues?” she asked the GOP hopeful. It’s a question we should pose more often. That’s not to say…

By Selwyn Duke It really is a shame when a media watchdog has a twisted nose that mistakes putrescence for floral aroma—and vice versa. In a piece published yesterday, self-proclaimed media watcher MediaMatters (MM) criticizes Fox News for running the supposedly “misleading headline”: “Cambridge, MA set to Pay Gay Employees More Than Straight.” MediaMatters takes…

By Selwyn Duke Sometimes you just wish that both sides in a contest could lose.

By Selwyn Duke In keeping with the demagogue’s credo “Never let a good tragedy go to waste,” some among us are extracting as much mileage from the Jared Loughner massacre as they can. It is being used to raise money and reduce freedom, with the latter amounting to calls for gun and speech control. And…

By Selwyn Duke It was wholly predictable. When the shooter of Democratic Congressman Gabrielle Giffords turned out to be a white male — one Jared Lee Loughner — it was a given that the blame gamers would use the tragedy to tarnish the right. And, sure enough, the onus is, in fact, being placed on…

By Selwyn Duke Since I’m well aware of how leftists’ claims of erudition are as empty as their ideology, not many of their failures surprise me. But an exception came last Tuesday when Whoopi Goldberg was interviewed by Bill O’Reilly. The two were discussing their differing views on the nature of the Islamic threat, with…

By Selwyn Duke In a case of JournoList redux, mainstream media reporters have again shown that their business is propaganda, not news. In a shocking voicemail accidentally left on the cell phone of Alaska GOP senatorial candidate Joe Miller’s spokesman, Randy DeSoto, journalists can be heard scheming to manufacture stories for the purposes of undermining…
