A new study by the Pew Research Center finds that two thirds of social media users are also active in politics.

The study found that 66 percent of adult social media users (which is 39 percent of all U.S. adults) had promoted political or socio-political issues, and one third used their social media to post their own opinions and to share content about political matters. 35 percent used their social media to urge others to vote, and 28 percent have used tools to to post links to stories or articles on politics. Pew found that the conservative and liberal social media users were most apt to do the latter.

Last week a story appeared at The Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire blog that claimed President Obama packed 18,000 people into a Wisconsin arena that only sports 5,000 seats.

At the time it was posted, the Journal did not offer a source for the 18,000 attendee count, but Tuesday there has been an addition updating that source. Now, according to Washington Wire, that source has been identified as Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. The Wall Street Journal wasn't the only news outlet that blindly regurgitated the 18,000 attendee claim. Politico and the Associated Press both used the seemingly impossible number.

CNN has finally revealed the "source familiar with Ambassador Stevens' thinking" upon which it based much of its reporting in the week following the attack on our embassy in Benghazi and the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens.

That "source" was his own, handwritten journal--and CNN used it for its reportage despite the wishes of Stevens's family. On Friday, September 21, CNN host Anderson Cooper made the admission on his Anderson Cooper 360 show saying that much of the "information was found in a personal journal of Ambassador Stevens in his handwriting"...

Why is the EPA Funding a Private Newspaper?

This is just an effort to justify the EPA's ongoing drive to give itself more power to control our daily lives by cajoling readers to accept its political point of view by stealth.

The Environmental Protection Agency has been indulging its inner propagandist by spending at least $3.5 million to float a newspaper that is purportedly "reporting" on the EPA's pet issues. Unfortunately for the readers of this newspaper, the fact that the EPA is its sugar daddy is never told the reading public. So much for an independent press!

NBC Publishes Unproven Claims of 'Anti-Muslim Incidents' in USA

When "journalists" confront conservatives, typically every claim, statistic, or assertion is challenged, but when talking to kindred spirits, reporters allow any manner of claim to pass by unchallenged.

Such is the case with NBC's interview of spokesmen for CAIR who, without any proof, were allowed to claim that "a spike in hate" against Muslims was occurring in the U.S.A. Jim Gold of NBC News spends the more than half of his recent report giving spokesmen for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) all the room they needed to make the claim that after the Muslim rioters attacked American embassies in Egypt and Libya, they have seen more calls to their offices reporting hate crimes and discrimination against Muslims in the U.S.

Media Blackout: GAO Says Obama's Welfare Waivers Illegal

September 8, 2012

On Sept. 4, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) made a startling assertion saying that Obama circumvented the law when he summarily waived the work requirements in the welfare law.

Perhaps not as shocking, few news outlets seem interested in the story. In its Sept. 4 letter, the GAO found that Health and Human Services (HHS) should have formally submitted a letter of its intent to make the changes to Congress and the Comptroller General before any waivers can be legally issued. The letter also said that the GAO had not determined if HHS had the legal right to even make such waivers available. The GAO is basically saying that the Obama administration is breaking the law with its waivers.

A producer for MSNBC's "Hardball With Chris Matthews" reportedly started a shoving match with a pair of GOP fans who where heckling Matthews.

Host Matthews was taping an outdoor portion of his show the evening Mitt Romney accepted his party's nomination when a pair of hecklers started goading him about "tingles." According to witnesses, the two men yelled out, "Hey Chris, how's that tingle up your leg?" Others in the audience were laughing at Matthews when a producer for MSNBC came running up and pushed the two hecklers.

Brit Columnist: We Hated Bush But Obama's Just as Bad

Left-wing, British columnist Owen Jones was not a fan of George W. Bush. While this is no surprise for as screaming a left-winger, what is a surprise is that he has decided that President Obama is no improvement over the "repulsive" Bush.

In a recent column in The Independent, Jones went on a monotonous rant of name-calling against Bush -- the same sort of nonsense with which we are all familiar. When he finally got the Bush Derangement Syndrome out of his system and he got to his criticism of Obama eyebrows raised for leftists everywhere. The focus of his ire is, of course, Obama's campaign of death from the skies, as evidenced in his drone program. This is a sore spot for the international left and carping about Obama's drone policy has been rumbling during Obama's whole presidency.

Stopping Lawsuits Meant to Silence Dissent: The Free Press Act

August 22, 2012

In this day of mounting threats to our freedoms, it is time to reinvigorate our Bill of Rights and so Senator John Kyl (R, AZ) has introduced S. 3493, The Free Press Act.

This bill aims to prevent nuisance lawsuits meant only to quash freedom of speech, to stop the intimidation of journalists, bloggers, and those testifying before government. One would have hoped that such a bill would be unnecessary, but in our day of increasing attacks on freedom of speech, perhaps the time has come to reaffirm and remind us all of the legacy our founders left to us.

Detached 'Journalist' Admits He's Part of Obama Chorus

Most "journalists" like to pretend they are separate from mere politics, but apparently MSNBC's Toure doesn't. He isn't merely observing and reporting on President Obama, but is part of Obama's team.

This is clear by his on-air Freudian slip delivered to us on Wednesday, August 22. On MSNBC's The Cycle, Toure made a telling mistake while disgorging his usual Obama talking points. During the discussion, Touré said that "we" had "succeeded in defining Romney early." "We," Toure? Who's we?
