The ABC's of Media Bias By: Lowell Ponte FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, October 14, 2004 IS THE ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA BIASED against conservatives? Dan Rather remains in the anchor chair at the CBS Evening News despite his involvement in recent news stories based on dishonest reporting, fabricated documents and even Internet gossip falsely alleging that President George W. Bush secretly intends to begin the military conscription of students. These stories were obviously designed to damage Mr. Bush in the final weeks before a national election. And now ABC News has left in place its Political Director Mark Halperin. ABC has done this...

The B-Cast: How Obama's 'Coalitions of Power' Are Key to 'Stealthy Agenda'

A libertarian non-profit organization in Washington today announced it was filing suit against the Obama administration for failing to adequately disclose global warming documents. As we reported two weeks ago the Competitive Enterprise Institute deemed inadequate the Treasury Department's response to a Freedom of Information Act request for documents on cap-and-trade. Months after the FOIA request, Treasury responded by giving CEI five documents and emails, when the group had expected 50. "Your response fails any reasonable test for compliance with FOIA and constitutes an effective denial of our request," CEI's Christopher Horner stated in the notice of appeal filed with...

On the eve of the French Revolution, the aristocrats inhabiting the palace of Versailles enjoyed, “as an ironic lark, sporting the clothing of the working classes,” according to writer Charles Stenson. These pampered elites were undisturbed by the fact that their peasant getups mocked the real peasants, many of whom were dying as a result of the elites’ self-serving policies. These clueless aristocrats have descendents in spoiled college kids who think it’s trendy to idolize Communist revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara. Che’s face is emblazoned on T-shirts, he was glamorized by the movie “The Motorcycle Diaries,” and Time magazine described him...

Supporters of ousted Honduras' President Manuel Zelaya protest outside the site of talks to resolve the leadership crisis in Honduras in San Jose, Saturday, July 18, 2009. Zelaya, who was forced into exile in a June 28 military coup, gave negotiators meeting in Costa Rica until midnight to restore him to office, threatening to return to Honduras in secret and attempt to retake power on his own if no agreement is reached. He indicated he would reject any power-sharing agreement, a proposal to be discussed at the talks.

PARIS – Hundreds of thousands of European workers feeling the pinch of the economic crisis rallied at May Day protests Friday from Moscow to Berlin to Istanbul. Violence and clashes between police and angry protesters disrupted some events, including in Greece, Germany and Turkey. But overall participation fell ...

ISTANBUL, May 1 May Day protesters clashed with riot police in Germany, Turkey and Greece on Friday while thousands angry at the government's responses to the global financial crisis took to the streets in France. Rising unemployment across Europe and beyond has added intensity to May Day marches as last year's market crash and banking meltdown rolls into the real economy. There were early morning clashes in Germany and protests in Istanbul swiftly turned violent. Greek police clashed with self-styled anarchists. Turkish riot police fired water cannon and tear gas, firing shots and pepper spray to disperse masked protesters. Young...

Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto In the early '60's during the days of the "former" Soviet Union, Russian Premier Nikita Kruschev pounded his shoe on the podium of the United Nations and shouted to the West, "We will bury you!" Fearing an invasion from the Reds, America proceeded to build the most awesome military machine in history. Unfortunately, we forgot to guard our political homefront from being taken over by socialist - communist - liberal activists who would gain office and destroy American law by process of gradually installing the Communist agenda within our legal system and seperate branches...

This is America’s Enemy Within - Castro’s Communist Cuba and Our Congressional Black Caucus By JB Williams Wednesday, April 8, 2009 While the leftist American press kept public attention focused upon Obama’s International Apology Hajj, working around the clock to put a positive spin on Obama’s failed Throw America Under the Bus Tour abroad, another important and equally dastardly trip was taking place below the average American’s radar… Six members of the US Congress traveled to Castro’s Communist Cuba over the weekend to open talks aimed at establishing a cooperative relationship between the United States and Communist Cuba. The six...

Members of the CBC praised and heaped plaudits upon Fidel Castro and his regime in terms which ranged from likening him to a "family member" to the right of Cuba to its rightful place among the family of nations.

Cuba's atrocious record on race was somehow overlooked by the Congressional Black Caucus. Last week the Stalinist regime that jailed and tortured the longest suffering black political prisoner in modern history (Eusebio Penalver) rolled out the red carpet for 6 smitten members of the CBC. All of these U.S. legislators met with "President" Raul Castro while a lucky three secured back-stage passes to meet Fidel himself. Not since Ann Margaret's reaction to Conrad Birdie's kiss has anything been recorded to match these U.S. legislators' reaction to these meetings. "He looked directly into my eyes!" gasped Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Ca.) "and...

The G20 is an evolving beast of inactivity. It is supposed to be a collection of Finance Ministers and heads of central banks of the 19 largest economies plus a representative of the European Union that meet on an annual basis to discuss the global economy. It has evolved into a meeting of heads of state that seeks to solve the world's problems. Stated differently, since the establishment of the G20 in 1999, it has evolved into a miniature version of the United Nations, without the smaller countries, the central organization, or the global mandate to, you know, actually do...

The gentleman second from the right in the picture below, Gerry Pasciucco, heads the AIG Financial Products unit. "We learned over the weekend,Che fan" reads a letter dated March 17 from New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo to Rep. Barney Frank, that AIG had, last Friday, distributed more than $160 million in retention payments (bonuses) to members of its Financial Products Subsidiary, the unit of AIG that was principally responsible for the firm's meltdown." This picture will surprise only those who take their Che Guevara cues from the MSM and Hollywood. On the other hand this comes from P. 24...

In an attempt to win sanctions against a former top Bush administration official over brutal interrogations of prisoners at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, a lawyers group deployed a strategy Monday that worked against Presidents Nixon and Clinton. Former Defense Department General Counsel William J. Haynes II is the first of several former policy makers the National Lawyers Guild wants reprimanded, suspended or disbarred for their roles in detainee abuse, said Carlos Villarreal, executive director of the San Francisco Bay Area guild chapter that filed a complaint against Haynes with the California Bar Assn. Haynes, now an attorney with Chevron Corp....

When the USSR collapsed in 1991, long-secret archives of the Communist International were thrown open to western researchers for the first time. Many previously unknown details of communist history have been revealed--including the 1935 Comintern orders directing Communists to begin work in Hawaii. These were uncovered by veteran researcher Herbert Romerstein in Moscow.

BERKELEY, California: The hundreds who massed at the University of California campus here on election night responded to Barack Obama's victory by heading off on a route that has been for a generation the sacred way for the activist left: out the campus gates, through Sproul Plaza, and down Telegraph Avenue toward People's Park. By the time they arrived at the intersection of Telegraph and Durant avenues, where a tie-dye vendor occupies one corner, it became clear they did not come to challenge the system now preparing to consecrate a new regime in Washington. At one point, a man scaled...

The United States now stands at one of the most significant crossroads in our history. The choice before voters on Nov. 4 is crystal clear: Continue the catastrophic slide of the last eight years into the abyss of economic disintegration, growing human misery at home and costly, deadly adventurism abroad. Or, continue instead to build the broad labor-led coalition which can help a new administration and Congress chart a path to peaceful, cooperative international relations and an economy where people earn decent wages for producing needed goods and services and are assured quality affordable health care and other human needs,...

I remember back a few years seeing Free Tibet bumper stickers on progressive Saabs and hippie VWs. Tibet is still in China's clutches, Russia is busy slapping around it's former vassal states, but the world is focused on the supposed crimes of George Bush. I can understand the argument that we never should have invaded Iraq, although I think that point is now moot. I can also understand those who think war is wrong and who insist that might doesn't make right. What I can't understand is those on the left who criminalize the Iraq invasion but see nothing wrong...

Ithaca, N.Y. — The Best Of Everything? By REBECCA JAMES   The Commons is a popular gathering place in downtown Ithaca, N.Y. (Photo by Gloria Wright)     ITHACA, N.Y. — When your town has made more than 25 lists that call it one of the best cities in America, you might be surprised that one magazine would call it one of the "Twelve Great Places You've Never Heard Of."But along with that 2006 designation from Mother Earth News, Ithaca seems to make the grade no matter what's being ranked. It's one of the "lesbian friendliest cities," has the "best...

Shouldn’t the shirts have tipped them off? Nothing says “decadent western capitalist stooge” quite like Che gear. Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos told reporters earlier in the day that the rescue mission had been made possible by “a special intelligence” operation that had penetrated the highest reaches of the FARC, including the group’s seven-man directorate and one of the rings of specialized rebel units entrusted with guarding hostages. Santos said that ring, commanded by a rebel known by the alias Cesar, was tricked into believing that the FARC’s leader had called for the hostages to be brought to him. Yesterday,...

Islamo-Fascism Denial http://www.aina.org/news/2007102311299.htm ---------------------------------------------------- Posted GMT 10-23-2007 16:29:9 ---------------------------------------------------- Muslim organizations are joining U.S. radical groups in mounting a national hate campaign against Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week. Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency has published an article denouncing the week, as have campus newspapers and organizations including the Socialist Workers Party and the Revolutionary Communist Party. And now MSA West, which describes itself as "an organization comprised of Muslim Student Associations (MSAs) representing campuses across the west coast," has distributed a packet that it hopes will "serve the needs of MSA's to intelligently and successfully confront IFAW." The packet describes Islamo-Fascism Awareness...

The campaign mounted by campus leftists against Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, which is scheduled to take place on more than 100 campuses during the week of October 22-26 has taken a new turn with the announcement of a counter-protest at the Washington Monument. The protest, which will be called “American Fascism Awareness Day� is being organized by Adam Kokesh of Iraq Veterans Against the War, the Revolutionary Communist Party, Students for Justice In Palestine, and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee among others and will feature speakers such as congressman Dennis Kucinich and presidential candidate Ron Paul, anti-war activists Cindy Sheehan and Harry...

This evening, the Fox News Channel's two highest rated programs, The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity & Colmes, had members of the pro-terrorist Marxist front group Code Pink on to discuss Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton's shifting stand on the Iraq war.Neither show challenged the Code Pink spokeswomen on the group's well documented pro-terrorist, pro-socialist dictatorship politics. Instead they were presented as legitimate players in the debate on the war and Clinton's candidacy.Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin was on The O'Reilly Factor opposite a Democratic consultant. Host Bill O'Reilly praised Benjamin for answering his softball questions about Code Pink's lobbying...

"Congresswoman Herseth, elected by a 69% victory, was largely due to women rallying in South Dakota, determined to protect our rights. Yet the Congresswoman voted to give Bush $100 billion to continue death and destruction in Iraq. Women and men voters in South Dakota are bitterly disappointed. ""Two brave codepinkers determined to end war. Congressman Kind was at the Boys & Girls Club, refusing to speak with these girls about his vote to continue war. They ask him how can he care about boys and girls when he is sending them to kill and be killed? And what about Iraq...

More than 40 bills that call for pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq or otherwise trying to end the war are being kicked around Congress by Democrats eager to again challenge President Bush. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid say they will put troop-withdrawal timetables in upcoming defense-spending bills, despite backing down last month when Mr. Bush vetoed a war-funding bill over similar measures. "We're fairly well set up now as to how we're going to do it and when we're going to do it," said Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat. The feminist antiwar group Code Pink...

Cash-strapped Communists hawk treasures By Kim Willsher in Paris, Sunday Telegraph Last Updated: 12:56am BST 10/06/2007 It was once France's biggest political party, feared by the bourgeoisie and the CIA alike as a red menace with the power to spark another revolution. The party is considering selling Mona Lisa with Moustache Nicolas Sarkozy's sweeping victory in last month's presidential election, however, and the prospect of another landslide for his party in the parliamentary elections - with the first round today - have spelled disaster for the French Communist Party. So bad were the presidential election results that the "people's" party...

About 50 people rallied outside Atlanta City Hall this afternoon to protest a proposed city ordinance that would regulate the location of counter-protesters at gatherings that have a permit from the city to hold an outdoor event. The proposal is designedregulate the location of counter-protesters at gatherings that have a permit from the city to hold an outdoor event. The proposal is designed to protect the organizer of the event from having its message interfered with by counter-demonstrators, according to Robin Shahar, a city attorney. The example cited in the legislation is that the message of vegetarians holding an event...

The peace movement is a very important part of American life. Much like the labor movement, the racial justice movement, and the women's movement, the peace movement is comprised of an array of organizations and millions of supporters. It maintains a visible public presence through meetings, demonstrations, vigils, leaflets, letters to the editor, newspaper ads, art, music, lobbying, and occasional civil disobedience actions. In addition, it inspires the loyalty of prominent cultural figures, intellectuals, and politicians. And many of its key goals—for example, ending the war in Iraq, fostering international cooperation, and securing nuclear disarmament—have broad popular support. Why, then,...

Stalinist Democrat, a hard left turn Marie Jon' April 15, 2007 During the Vietnam era the Democrat Party became hard and strident... millions of innocent Vietnamese people died. The far-left Democrats — who now control Congress — have done it again. They have taken an even harder turn to the left, and no one can seem to reach or appease them. The Democrat Party's leftward leanings were apparent during those years. The party included anti-war candidates such as Bobby Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern. The congressional Democrats blatantly put a stop to "all aid" to "our allies in southeast...
