As the Czar points out infra, Professor W.R. Mead makes a very good point about how the media’s uncritical adulation of whatever their heroes on the left side of the aisle do keeps those pols from actually encountering the facts … Continue reading →
Not too far off from an essay in which is Czar showed how liberals continually move the goalposts out of a mistaken belief in their own popularity, Walter Russell Mead at The American Interest recounts the same history of the … Continue reading →
BG writes in with an observation (and curious ploy) appropriate to a topic much on our mind lately: Great and Wondrous and (Regrettably, Apparently Lonesome) Czar – There is another meme out there, which was on display on the cover … Continue reading →
In the Boston Globe, we see yet another example of poor reporting, covering only one side of the story. You know, the side that supports the reporter’s favored policy outcomes. Ms. Kay Lazar writes about the growing number of underweight … Continue reading →
The Czar hates to play the blame game, and he would love to pin that reluctance on someone or something. But once again, we have to argue that the term “Right Wing” is not defined as “Anything the Left Wing … Continue reading →

This AFP piece by Dan De Luce caught our eye this evening, and there is something positively off-putting about it. “Commanders say Obama overruled them on Afghanistan.” Well, not quite. The article says that GNL David Petraeus—a commander (singular)—and ADM … Continue reading →

Hey GorT, What the Czar thinks is even better is that a couple of Palin supporters are asking conservatives of all stripes to volunteer for this. Why? So that conservatives find emails that support family values, tax reduction, free trade … Continue reading →
Unfortunately I can’t find the reference now but the tweet o’ the week has to go to one that went: “Palin’s 24K emails created more jobs than the $787B Obama Stimulus”. How true. And now multiple “news” outlets are asking … Continue reading →

You know how we often say that the major media will write stories to fit a pre-decided template and if the news does not fit that template, they will change it until it does? You will recall Tunisia overthrew their … Continue reading →
Your Czarness: Might I offer a random observation concerning your first points in yesterday’s “News Roundup”? Now you might be sitting in your frozen castle up in Muscovy wondering what in tarnation Sarah Palin and Mohammed El-Baradei could possibly have … Continue reading →
And you might ask what the media has been fixated on, lately. Going through the day’s headlines, here is the schematic: Egyptians are protesting because they want to be like America. And Mohammed El-Baradei is the best candidate to lead … Continue reading →

Well, the Czar regrets this post may have nothing new for you. Rather, it is just an update of a familiar stump speech of ours. Over the weekend, the mainstream media yammered on and on about how the Tucson shootings … Continue reading →
This is not a complaint directed at the Google news services; rather, it serves as an example of something else that annoys the Czar. Here is the latest top Sci/Tech stories from Google news. It should be different every few … Continue reading →
News to us. He takes one little uptick in the polls, and suddenly a couple of news stories begin circulating that he is making a comeback. Ya know, Nixon used to do something. Whenever he felt his popularity was slipping … Continue reading →

The increasingly shabby New York Times, in an effort to show the world it can reduce news stories ad absurdum like Time or Newsweek, has prepared a pretty good proof that their junior editors can be just as shoddy as … Continue reading →
Let’s have a little fun playing compare and contrast: 1. Black employee makes statement described as racist. Employer takes quote out of context, goes off half-cocked, fires said employee without permitting employee an opportunity to explain. Employer realizes manifest error … Continue reading →
JAB notes that even meat puppets are getting tired of defending Obama: Your Czarness, I offer an unrelated anecdote to support your observation of the President’s eroding levels of support. We here at The Doublewide are fans of a band … Continue reading →
And so the Czar was perusing The Chicago Sun-Times this morning over his traditional 13th-Century breakfast of моглашкы with a side of пошмацки, and was entertained to see two of the Times’ six remaining openly bleeding-heart liberal columnists each having … Continue reading →
Liberals sure have a funny way with words. Perhaps it is because of the odd way their brains are wired—that things going in one way and come out another. Take islamophobe. Even if you have never heard the word before—the … Continue reading →

Lovely Female Co-Worker submits her article for the front page of tomorrow’s Democrat and Chronicle. Woman Enjoys Pickle for First Time in Decade After accidentally killing her husband in a grilling accident ten years ago, Susie Smith was without a … Continue reading →
Here’s a hint. It’s because mid-sized newspapers like The Democrat and Chronicle (to ‘Puter’s eternal bemusement nicknamed The D&C) actually publish crap like this. ‘Puter’s lovely female co-worker sent him the link to the article, along with this email with … Continue reading →

‘Puter’s been thinking about the White House Press Corps’ crazy old aunt, Helen Thomas. ‘Puter’s got a few tangentially related thoughts on the matter he’d like to share with you. 1. Ms. Thomas committed the classic gaffe. That is, she … Continue reading →
‘Puter was watching Morning Joe on MSNBC this morning, mostly to watch a parade of dejected leftists attempt to minimize the extent of the whupping they took yesterday in Massachusetts. There is nothing quite so tasty as a well-balanced breakfast … Continue reading →
What do conservatives and liberals have in common? They both pretend to shun Fox News. The interesting thing is that both camps generally do it for the same reason. First, let us review. The Obama adminstration hates, hates, hates Fox … Continue reading →
Diane Sawyer, ABC Evening News anchor-in-waiting, is married to Mike Nichols. “So what, ‘Puter?”, you may say. Well, Mike Nichols signed the recent Hollywood petition requesting Switzerland refuse to extradite confessed pedophile anal rapist Roman Polanski. Is it not appropriate … Continue reading →
Here is what the media is reporting: 51-year-old Bill Sparkman, a census worker, was found lynched from a tree near a Clay County, Kentucky, cemetary. The word FED was “scrawled on his chest.” Most stories are either suggesting or completely … Continue reading →
