I need to lay my cards on the table right from the outset: I’ve never been a fan of conservative news site World Net Daily.
Even when I shifted to the Right aspects of WND still got under my skin — particularly the publication’s promotion of the “Obama eligibility issue” and the rather extreme anti-homosexual views (supporting [...]

Honesty and fairness require me to point out that, when a discussion had just been launched on his Journolist between members who wanted to coordinate media narratives to help Barack Obama win the presidential elections, Erza Klein attempted to squelch it.
That’s great of him. Major props to the Washington Post blogger.

How did Samir Khan board a flight to Yemen?

The lack of a conservative Journolist is not surprising. After all, as Fred Barnes observed in the Wall Street Journal, conservative journalists tend to be loners who jealously guard their professional independence.

My parents were members of the American Communist Party and I was part of the progressive left, which was the communist left, and which has grown ominously large today, and has seen its candidate elected to the White House. I was the editor of the largest magazine of the New Left, which was organized by [...]

We knew the mainstream media was in collusion in an all out attack against Sarah Palin, but we just couldn’t prove it – now we can.
Daily Caller’s Jonathan Strong has exposed Journolist’s gang-up against Palin as the only way to usher in their pick for the White House. Imagine that. All the biggies in the [...]

Comments by David G. Littman in his capacity as a failed letter-writer to the International Herald Tribune: I went through the ritual of sending a letter to the International Herald Tribune, knowing full well it would not be published. For 30 years and more, all my letters were accepted, especially…
