Share Button

How the press are like insects! The year – 2011 – The press to Republicans trying to force through their agenda: “YOU SHOULD HAVE QUIT WHILE YOU WERE AHEAD YOU IDIOTS!!!” The years – 2009 and 2010 – The press to Democrats trying to force through their agenda: PS. I was going to compare the […]

Meme Watch – News Bias

Share Button

This is a small thing, but I have to point it out. A headline on the MSNBC new service opened thus: White House and Democrats continue to cave in on the spending fight, while House Republicans haven’t budged an inch… I know this is an overused and stale  meme but, frankly, it is applicable here. How do […]

On Hugh Hewitt’s Monday show, he was harping on the extremely poor American news coverage of the situation at the Fukushima nuclear plant that has been unfolding during the last few days.

A Classic Red Herring Fallacy – Vilifying The Source

Share Button

Today I came across this statement concerning  a notice that Republicans were trying to change the definition of rape: …can’t support anything that comes from moveon.org as that’s a left-wing propoganda machine just as bad, if not worse as the right-wing propoganda machines. This is a classic Appeal to Motive: where a premise is dismissed, […]
