© Joel Pett This is a question that has been bugging me for some time. I love the Internet, I make my living from it, and even if I didn’t I couldn’t imagine living without it now. But at the same time, I wonder if on balance, has the Internet has been a good thing […]
The next time someone complains about how the media is in love with Obama, just show them this graph: This chart is driven by data from the non-partisan and widely respected Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism. It tracks negative and positive coverage over time for the major political candidates. The red lines […]

“Oh, Jon! Did I ever tell you that I, Roger Ailes, plan to undermine the role of an independent press by constantly whining at any reportage that deviates from a staunch conservative narrative is biased, while at the same time filling the editorial vacuum that that creates by building a Conservative propaganda juggernaut in the […]
The ironic thing about all this birther nonsense is that it applies just as much to Romney as it does to Obama (which is to say, it really doesn’t apply to either of them). People argue that Obama’s father was born in Kenya. But Mitt Romney’s father, George Romney, was born in Mexico. So what. […]
I think one of the problems of the conservative echo chamber is that encourages people like Michelle Malkin to get even more strident and crazy, because their primary audience eats it up, as long as they are saying negative things about Obama. Even if they make no sense at all. My big question is, now […]
[By misteragc, reprinted from Daily Kos. I’ve been waiting for Romney to clinch the GOP nomination before posting this.] The Romney campaign today announced a surprise pick for Vice President – Exxon Mobil Corporation. “This is a game changing decision, that will really energize the true Republican base: Koch Industries, Haliburton, Walmart, Bechtel, Fox and […]
Donald Trump complains that the media is not covering the “birther” question, then when they ask him about it, he changes the subject: I almost didn’t post this, because Trump is becoming the new Palin. He doesn’t add anything to the conversation, he just wants attention. But I posted it anyway, since after all, Romney […]
I’m more and more impressed by Eclectablog, whose plain-speaking posts are like a breath of fresh air during this election season. A good example is the recent post there by LOLGOP “The GOP is Threatening Your Job“, which is about Republican efforts to sabotage the economy. The GOP figured out that if the economy is […]
“It’s been a rough week for Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg has lost so much money in the market that President Obama is going to have him replace Ben Bernanke.” – Jay Leno “This Facebook fiasco is one of the biggest clusterfucks ever on Wall Street. Regular people got screwed and the banks and the […]
Last night, the Romney campaign released an iPhone app called “With Mitt” that allows you to take a photo, add one of 14 pro-Romney banners to the photo, and upload the resulting masterpiece to Facebook or Twitter. But they couldn’t have found a better way for the app to go viral than if they had […]
Cops in Texas want to equip their unmanned aerial drone with weapons — so far rubber bullets and tear gas, but who knows in the future. Yes, these are the very same cops who crashed their first drone into their SWAT team’s tank-like armored vehicle. You can’t make stuff like this up. © Tom Tomorrow
You’ve heard of birthers. Is turnabout fair play? How many wives does Mitt Romney actually have? Inquiring minds want to know. p.s. even if you don’t like Bill Mahar, this is brilliant.
Once upon a time, the media thought of itself as a watchdog. Now they just work for the banks, like everyone else. Adam Savage of Mythbusters, with a myth he wasn’t allowed to bust:
© Ted Rall Actually, such a billboard would never happen, because Romney is desperately trying to distance himself from his former policies that bear any resemblance at all to Obama’s current policies (health care reform, abortion, etc.).
