Adam Shah: NRO's desperate attack on finding that Roberts Court is the most conservative "in living memory"
Altercation &bull Jul 28, 2010
Ed Whelan and two of his colleagues at National Review Online have repeatedly attacked a New York Timesarticle that reported on a study finding that the Supreme Court under John Roberts is "the most conservative one in living memory." Their attack is unsurprising since Whelan based a major part of his testimony opposing Elena Kagan's Supreme Court nomination on the premise that the conservative Supreme Court majority is actually non-ideological. But their complaints are undermined by the words of former Chief Justice William Rehnquist who described the… Full Story »

War is Theft: Pentagon cannot account for $8.6 Billion of Iraq's Reconstruction Funds
www.juancole.com via @jricole &bull Jul 28, 2010The Pentagon cannot account for the over $8 bn. The reason is that in the chaotic days after the fall of the Baath government and the collapse of the old economy, Paul Bremer Co. attempted to jump-start the Iraq market economy by giving out large sums in brown paper bags with no questions asked. They did not understand that the Iraqi market had been killed by decades of government control and that no magic hand any longer… Full Story »

Breitbart-loving media now target 'anonymous bloggers' as the solution to dishonesty on the Internet
Crooks and Liars &bull Jul 27, 2010
Instead of discrediting Andrew Brietbart for being a lying liar that hurts people, CNN's Kyra Phillips thinks the Shirley Sherrod story means we need to attack anonymous bloggers for their indiscretions. WTF? If a liberal blogger had released a phony video that targeted a Republican in the same way as Breitbart did, the outrage that would have followed from the media would have been cataclysmic. But when it's done… Full Story »

NYT: Roberts court most conservative in decades
Open Left &bull Jul 25, 2010
Lots in this article worth highlighting, but at least it now mainstreams what the DFHs have known for at least 3 years since Roberts and Alito took the bench. In its first five years, the Roberts court issued conservative decisions 58 percent of the time. And in the term ending a year ago, the rate rose to 65 percent, the highest number in any year since at least 1953. The courts led by Chief Justices Warren E. Burger, from 1969 to 1986, and William H. Rehnquist, from 1986 to 2005, issued conservative decisions at an almost indistinguishable rate - 55… Full Story »

CNN's Kyra Phillips and John Roberts spent a good five minutes yesterday expressing serious concern over what they called "the dark side" of the Internet: the plague of "anonymous bloggers" who are "a bunch of cowards" for not putting their names on what they say, and who use this anonymity to spread "conspiracy," "lunacy," "extremism" and false accusations (video below). The segment included excerpts from an interview with Andrew Keene, author of Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet is Killing our Culture, who explained that the Real Media must serve as "gatekeepers" to safeguard the public against the dangers… Full Story »

CNN Anchors Fawn Over Shirley Sherrod, Ask If She Wants Breitbart's Site Shut Down

It wasn't exactly a media-friendly question. CNN co-anchor Kiran Chetry asked Shirley Sherrod on Thursday's "American Morning" if she wanted another news outlet to be shut down entirely a Andrew Breitbart's website, to be exact.
