The Underground Conservative

The last media outlet on Earth that you’d expect to expose one of the Left’s most cherished myths, did just that this morning. The Washington Post–yes, the POST, not the Times–actually published today an editorial titled “‘Bush Lied’? If Only It Were That Simple.”
You could’ve knocked me over with a feather when […]

Well, as noted before on this blog, the MSM has begun its campaign to trash their favorite RINO, John McCain, after spending months and great effort to have him become the Republican presidential candidate. Michelle Malkin says “Maybe McCain will really mean it now when he jokes about the ‘jerks from the media.’” […]

Last night, I was at Michelle Malkin’s blog, reading an old post that opened my eyes on what really happened in Haditha. Which is basically that the whole thing was, according to a Marine intelligence report (released here via pdf), an “intentional propaganda ploy planned and paid for by Al Qaeda foreign fighters.” […]

Now that McCain has pretty much become a shoe-in (no, Hillary, I spelled it “shoe,” not “Hsu“) for the Republican nomination, expect to see the MSM trash their favorite Republican from now until the November election.
You’ll see the headlines they were holding back, like these:

McCain’s Keating Five past could haunt his candidacy
Immigration […]

Michelle Malkin has a contest going to describe the NY Times in six words. Her contest is a response to a contest on a NY Times blog that started out by soliciting descriptions of America in six words–but (of course) quickly devolved into a bash-America-thon.
Here are some of my own entries into […]

John McCain gets endorsed by the New York Times today (for the primary, mind you). As if he didn’t already have enough problems with conservatives…
Below is some of what the NY Times said about McCain, with our comments in italics. Oh, BTW, a big “Thank You” to Michelle Malkin for noting this […]

As a veteran (Army) myself, this story rankles me.
Sgt. Michael McNulty, a 26-year-old Marine from Chicago, had his car keyed allegedly by a jerkball lawyer as he visited a friend before he left for his second tour in Iraq.
Charges against the lawyer, 55-year-old Jay Grodner, might be upgraded to a felony, […]

Patterico’s Pontifications (a blog I added to the blogroll, BTW) started a contest today, asking readers to fisk a New York Times editorial against an Indiana law that would require voters to have a photo ID.
I took a stab at it in the comments section. But I went through too much work […]

The MSM succeeded in getting Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff–the highest ranking military man in the U.S. military (remember, he’s outranked by SECDEF and CINC/POTUS)–to admit that he thinks the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay should be closed.
Asked why he thinks Gitmo should be closed, Admiral Mullen says: […]

Headline of a fawning puff piece in Time rag mag: How Hillary Learned to Trust Herself.
Be forewarned, the article has a serious emetic effect.

This incredibly ridiculous La-La Land Times editorial (choice quote: “For [Hitlery] Clinton, the [presidential campaign] trouble is not emotion but, perversely, President Bush”) inspired me to post something here I’d posted before on a political message board. Namely, a satirical news story:
New Bush Administration Discovery Results In Lost Jobs For Medical Professionals
- 1,000s […]

Am I the only one who saw this? Yesterday, I was as glad as anyone to see Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett get up and walk again. For those of you who don’t follow football, the significance of this event is that earlier in the football season, Everett suffered a severe spinal […]

First, our thoughts and prayers go to the family, friends and community at Virginia Tech over today’s horrific tragedy.
Next, it’s not surprising to find the anti-gun crowd are already starting to come out:
Advocates of wider gun controls said the availability of guns in the United States had made it easier for people […]

Yuck, only a couple of days until taxes are due and we still haven’t done ours. So the media is putting out a few stories on the whole tax thing.
The AP has an article on more people filing their taxes online. One interesting thing they noted was that few people are […]

In their usual attempt to make President Bush look bad, the New York Times makes a rare admission: that desertions were HIGHER during the Clinton administration, when we weren’t at war, than they are now:
The Army prosecuted desertion far less often in the late 1990s, when desertions were more frequent, than it does now, […]

Can’t say that I blame them. Why allow yourself to be hit with tough questions like Republicans do on most of the MSM, when you can get softballs tossed at you by the MSM instead?
(Democratic presidential candidate Barack Hussein) Obama and (Democratic presidential candidate and former First Lady Hitlery) Clinton aides said […]

James Taranto at Opinion Journal points out a blatant case of MSM bias and hypocrisy in the case of President Bush’s recess appointee to the ambassadorship of Belgium, Sam Fox:
The assertion that Fox “was sure to lose” a confirmation vote in the Senate is either mistaken or dishonest. As we noted yesterday, Sens. Claire McCaskill […]

“The American people are not getting the full picture of what’s happening here. They’re not getting the full picture of the drop in murders, the establishment of security outposts throughout the city, the situation in Anbar province, the deployment of additional Iraqi brigades which are performing well, and other signs of progress having been made,” […]

As if they’re going to believe her.
The “Vote for Hillary Campaign,” er, we mean, New York Times, has published a nice, fawning, fluff piece about Hitlery Clinton and the military. The article’s obvious purpose is to create the myth that Hitlery actually cares about our military. Har, har, good one!
As the Hitlery campaign […]
