Because Fox will not sit on stories that put progressives in a bad light, like virtually every other outlet does. That’s why we go there.
When Ben Bradlee finally died- yes I said finally, the guy was a crooked journalist – some news outlets made references to Bradlee suppressing stories about “his good buddy” JFK. Yet, he was the only news outlet that kept digging and digging and digging trying to get something, anything, on Nixon. (When you watch All the President’s Men, the movie tries to suggest that they had no idea the operation would go as high as Nixon, and they were just “following leads wherever they may go.” That’s horsehockey. The mission from very early on was to see if it could get to Nixon.) Watergate pails in comparison to over a half dozen Obama scandals that I could rattle off the top of my head as a sit here.

He was more of a hack district attorney, giving free passes to cronies and looking for anything and everything on political foes – sorta like Eric Holder.

Marcelo Marquez allegedly shot and killed a Sacramento County Sheriff’s Deputy and a Placer County Sheriff’s Deputy, and also allegedly shot and wounded a second Placer County deputy and a civilian on Friday.

The 1997 deportation was the result of “conviction in Arizona…on charges of possession of narcotics for sale.” He was arrested stateside in 2001 as well.

The post showcases just why a carbon tax is a dangerous policy. As we at IER have been warning for years, the advocates of a carbon tax are fooling themselves if they think it will be calibrated to the “optimal” level reflecting the “negative externality” of greenhouse gas emissions.continue reading
Geez, just throw in the towel already Wendy Davis, this is getting more and more pathetic by the day. The campaign tweeted out a picture of supposed supporters, but they turned out to be Republicans who posted a pic of their knocking on doors in Virginia for candidate Ed Gillespie:
Healthcare.gov continues to prepare for open enrollment beginning on November 15, hoping to avoid a repeat of the disastrous launch in 2013. Apparently the preparations include extra “scheduled” maintenance. Wednesday morning, the site displayed a message reading, “The system isn’t available right now. We’re performing scheduled maintenance. Learn more.” The message was posted on the site some time Tuesday evening:
Al Sharpton is heading to Ferguson, Missouri, for the last few days before the midterm elections. Sharpton’s trip follows Sunday’s New York Times front page story on the importance of black turnout for the Democrats to keep control of the Senate.
The man shot dead by the Canadian Parliament’s Serjeant-at-Arms has been named as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a man born in Quebec as Michael Joseph Hall and reported to be a “revert” to Islam. He killed Corporal Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders (the Princess Louise’s). continue reading
