While it’s quite true that the conceivably noble profession of journalism has been effectively ruined by an inbred ‘progressive’ activism there remains a tiny number of liberal newspersons who continue to live up to the classic liberal ideal of dialectical–as opposed to ’social’– justice.
Very near the top on my list of good liberal journalists [...]

The Other Child Pornography
Gentle reader, I beseech you: Put down your burrito or set aside for a moment your syrupy sweet beverage and ponder this question: Why do we allow advertising to children?
Isn’t it incredible that we allow money grubbing ‘movers and shakers’ to capture children’s minds…filling them with desire? Selling to children through the means of mass [...]

I have found the poster boy for the professors! Our bright young Canadian is a perfect product of progressive propaganda, otherwise known as elite education (he is responding to a youtube post that wondered why there isn’t a white history month):
Sontag’s cancer riff is not the right analogy: [...]

M & M Rap
Mailer v McLuhan from 1967. Who would ever guess that McLuhan was the conservative? Also it would be nice if Ravelstein were there to straighten out the ‘value judgments’ talk…
Fast Forward; or, keeping it real: Here’s a lively article from Founding Crunchy Con Rod Dreher invoking McLuhan, The Queen, and our little terror [...]

Diane’s Dictionairy
Robert Novak has a way of making things happen. I’ve been listening to the Diane Rehm show pretty steadily for the last 12 years. This is the first time I’ve heard her definition of a liberal (slide to 26:00). It is best not to have anything in your mouth as you [...]

Judgment Day
Beyond Belief 2006: Last fall the cream of the scientific crop convened for the purpose of reckoning with religious belief. There is on display much disparagement of religion but also frequent attempts to moderate that disparagement.
Anti-theist superstars Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins see plenty of action but also encounter a surprising amount of resistance. [...]

Three Cheers for Orientalism
“They [Muslims] know who they are and what they are and what they want, a quality which we seem to have lost to a very large extent.”
We would have gone to war without the teaching of Bernard Lewis… but it helped. He delivered the 2007 AEI Irving Kristol Lecture.

Opium of the Asses
If you want to ensure that religion becomes more socially and politically active than ever…nay, more– if you want to unite workers of the word from Al Sharpton to Pat Robertson, then you should follow the examples of our sci-ing creatures Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Christopher Hitchens: write insulting books excoriating believers.
Still, [...]

Fox Parox
There is a curious phenomenon in the land: A major television news network that doesn’t slight conservatives.
Fox the hedgehog: I recall an interview with Roger Ailes in which he revealed the secret of FOX’s success (i paraphrase): ‘We discovered a niche market–half of the American people!’.
Needless to say this is deeply upsetting to our [...]
