Palin Ethics Complaint Tainted

Friday, July 24, 2009
By Robert Clarke

 I’m sure the outcome of the latest ethics complaint against Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is completely on the up-and-up. I mean, after all, the independent investigator who was hired to investigate the claim against her is a lawyer, and therefore, he’ll follow all ethical due diligence and make sure to do a neutral, fair... »

Why the Media Cannot Be Objective

Thursday, July 23, 2009
By Robert Clarke

The media as a whole cannot be truly objective about any story. For many reporters in the 21st century, their lack of objectivity is a willing act. They hate God, and hate Christians by extension, and therefore their reporting is willingly tainted by their deep philosophical biases. Technorati Tags: Media Bias, Media Objectivity, Paul... »

Walter Cronkite vs. Paul Harvey

Friday, July 17, 2009
By Robert Clarke

Veteran newscaster Walter Cronkite passed away today at the age of 92. As expected, media coverage has lauded one of the pioneers of broadcast journalism, and by all appearances, he has been granted sainthood by the media powers that be. I’ve pointed out in a previous post that Cronkite believed that the only bias... »

Caesar’s Health Care Reform Plan

Thursday, July 16, 2009
By Robert Clarke

Quick prediction from a broadcast journalist and student of history:  If the president’s health care reform package passes and becomes law, it will deal a crippling blow to the U.S. economy, and drag down several other countries with it. Make no mistake about it, cap and trade legislation, coupled in an unholy alliance with... »

Worst Sotomayor Headline Ever

Clicking through the news feeds today, I spotted what may very well be the worst Sotomayor headline ever. The confirmation process will still go through the motions, however, so there may be some more gems on the way. Drumroll please: Dems Praise Sotomayor; GOP Fears Her Empathy Technorati Tags: ABC News, Media Bias, Sotomayor Confirmation Hearings, Supreme... »

Equal Time in News Reporting

Wednesday, July 1, 2009
By Robert Clarke

This is a topic I write about pretty frequently.  One could probably hop in and out of this blog very quickly and assume that I am a conservative.  Nothing could be further than the truth.  Christianity is about as far from conservatism as it is from liberalism, but that’s a much more lengthy post,... »

How the News Agenda Really Works

Wednesday, July 1, 2009
By Robert Clarke

World Net Daily puts out an open letter to its readers, asking for voluntary subscriptions. David Kupelian offers some insights into the people who are controlling the news and reciting it to you each night: “This bizarre mindset infects more than just a few cable news personalities. A rare look at a normally hidden... »

Vegan Restaurants Serving Eggs

Quarrygirl.com has uncovered a major story out of Los Angeles: “So, we divided up the work between us, and dedicated a Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday as well as over $1,000 of our collective money to pulling off the most extensive scientific test that we know of to find out, once and for all, if... »

Sotomayor and the Media

Monday, June 29, 2009
By Robert Clarke

Another Supreme Court decision overturned one of Justice Sonya Sotomayor’s appellate court rulings today.  Coverage of the event itself was kind of a mixed bag.  If we were able to track trends within TV news stories the way they happen within Twitter, I think we’d see the word CLAIM trending very high today.  As... »

Cap and Trade: $3900 Per Household

Sunday, June 28, 2009
By Robert Clarke

So much for the early estimates on cap-and-trade legislation.  Turns out the figures will be much higher for every American household.  An MIT study puts the estimate at $800 per year in economic losses, and a cost of $3,100 per year in taxes for every American household.
