GOOD MEDIA STUFF
Here are some excellent articles and analysis on a variety of subjects that you may have missed over the last couple of days.
Media on Media:
Brent Bozell talks about the Howard Dean media blackout. Seems our friends in the MSM are doing the Democrats a favor by not reporting on the Screaming Doctor’s more outrageous remarks. And Accuracy in Media (AIM) reports on some issues still left to be resolved with Deep Throat and Mark Felt. A lot of people are noticing that what information Felt had access to at the time and what Wood/Stien reported as coming from Deep Throat doesn’t quite jibe. Was Deep Throat a composite character for one or more other sources in the FBI and executive branch? No one that I’ve seen has tried to pin Bradlee, Woodward, or Bernstien down on that topic.
Time will tell as to whether or not there will be further revelations about Deep Throat. Watch the obituary pages carefully.
Lord Haw-Haw
Here’s the al Jazeera interview with British moonbat MP and Saddam apologist George Galloway courtesy of the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). Caution: Will make your blood boil.
Dissident Watch
American Enterprise Institute has a piece on Syrian dissident Aktham Naisse. Inspiring read.
He wrote the Book on Gulags
The Times Online has an interview with Alexander Solzhenitsyn, his first since 2002. At first a liberal hero, Solzhenitsyn fell out of favor with the left when he came out and condemned the west’s passivity in the face of communist brutality. Read what he has to say about a real gulag. (HT: The American Thinker)
When Rimbaud meets Rambo
Is new the new French Prime Minister just a sensitive, misunderstood poet? Or just another anti-American hysteric? (Both, I say.) Via Watching America.
Coyote Ugly
Are coyote’s becoming more aggressive? In my neck of the woods, northern Illinois, they’re beginning to lose their fear of people and are becoming a danger. So far, only dogs and the occasional cat are their victims. But its only a matter of time before a human is injured or killed by these beautiful beasts. Via National Geographic.
The Religion of Peace
Timothy Furnish asks on the pages of History News Network “Does Islam Condone Beheadings?”
Space Defense
Peter Brooks of the Heritage Foundation talks about the militarization of space. Sad, but inevitable. The advantages for the US are just too big to pass up.
Red Stars Rising
FrontPage Mag has a review of a book by Ronald and Allis Radosh on the Hollywood left called Red Star Over Hollywood.
