The New York Times recognizes the extreme far left wing bias of MSNBC

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

By way of Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters comes this clearly obvious bit of “news”:

“MSNBC is less a news provider than a carousel of liberal opinion…”

This is not a surprise to anyone paying attention.  Really, the head of MSNBC admitted that he was going to “out Fox Fox”, but from the far extreme left.  It was a business decision in order boost their ratings out of dead last in the cable new race.

Kudos to him because it worked.  MSNBC is still way, way behind Fox News in the ratings, but has passed CNN.

Our out of control federal government in action

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

Mark Steyn points out just how out of control the federal government is:

Schylar Capo, eleven years old, of Virginia, who made the mistake of rescuing a woodpecker from the jaws of a cat and nursing him back to health for a couple of days, and for her pains, was visited by a federal Fish & Wildlife gauleiter (with accompanying state troopers) who charged her with illegal transportation of a protected species and issued her a $535 fine. If the federal child-abuser has that much time on his hands, he should have charged the cat, who was illegally transporting the protected species from his gullet to his intestine.
