ABC’s This Week didn’t even make a pretense of being fair and balanced, let alone honest, in covering the historic labor protests in Wisconsin. The elite don’t want you to know that asking the working class to pay for the elite’s excesses is profoundly wrong.

Washington Post’s “Balanced” Opinions Page Shows Why Reforms Unlikely in Wake of Giffords Shooting |
| By: Jim White Tuesday January 11, 2011 6:06 am |
Tuesday’s Opinions page in the Washington Post is dedicated almost entirely to the tragic shooting in Tucson on Saturday. A screenshot of a portion of the Opinions webpage shows us the lineup of writers and their topics. In addition, one of the three editorials by the Post’s editorial board also addresses the issue and has the title “Gun control: It’s not a political impossibility”. To summarize, then, we have Eugene Robinson and the editorial board arguing for improved laws to keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have them, Dana Milbank hitting the violent rhetoric from Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck for their contributions to politically-based violence and threats of violence while George Will, Michael Gerson, Richard Cohen and Marc Thiessen all write columns that are telling America to stop blaming conservatives for the violent political landscape that they have created with their incendiary language and actions.
ABC This Week Panel: We’re in Crisis. Time for Tea-GOPers to “Grow Up” |
| By: Scarecrow Sunday January 2, 2011 1:30 pm |
Oh my. If Amy Walters, George Will, and Major Garrett agree that Tea Party Republicans need to grow up before they wreck the US economy, maybe there’s hope . . . but not much. Follow the logic if you can.
George Will: A Mind Is a Terrible Thing… |
| By: Scarecrow Thursday December 23, 2010 2:19 pm |
The conservative mind is a wondrous thing to behold, especially when it’s the Washington Post’s best mind, George Will.
Even Liberal Fred Hiatt Says… |
| By: TBogg Sunday December 5, 2010 7:00 pm |
America’s fifth most influential liberal journalist Fred Hiatt doesn’t have enough to do these days having delegated most of his editorial responsibilities to sensible classical liberals like Charles Krauthammer, Michael Gerson, Marc Thiessen, Jennifer Rubin, Robert Kagan, Robert Samuelson, Kathleen Parker, and George Will. So today he thought he would try his hand at movie reviewing but, alas, he hasn’t grasped the differences between “drama” and “documentary”.
The Hack Pool |
| By: TBogg Wednesday November 24, 2010 12:55 pm |
Over at Salon, Alex Pareene has compiled a compelling and entertaining list of the top 30 media hacks of our time, and he has been doling them out on a daily basis with the top ten due to drop on Wednesday (maybe now while you are reading this! Exciting!) Who will be the next deserving hack?
George Will Proves Krugman’s Point on the Axis of Depression |
| By: Scarecrow Friday November 19, 2010 6:03 am |
George Will’s column lamented the fact that the Federal Reserve is required to care about human suffering caused by massive unemployment. It’s all part of the latest unified GOP attack on the Fed’s dual statutory requirement to pursue full employment as well as price stability and moderate interest rates. Krugman concludes the GOP just doesn’t want the Fed to succeed, because it might help Democrats.
America’s Worst Columnist? |
| By: Jim White Monday October 25, 2010 6:06 am |
I know, choosing America’s worst columnist when there are so many recipients of wingnut welfare putting their income to work hammering out ridiculous screeds in support of politicians who wish to return our country to the stone age, but when George Will decided to hand out the title of America’s Worst Politician to Alan Grayson, well he really seemed to be angling for the prize.

George Will Goes Bipolar Over Brown |
| By: bmaz Wednesday April 28, 2010 8:30 am |
George Will comments on the new Arizona immigration law and proves he is past his “use by” date and needs to be put out to pasture with the other jackasses.
