Journolism: Are There No Mirrors at the Lenfest Institute for Journalism?

Jim Friedlich is Chief Executive Officer and executive director of the Leftist, oops, sorry, Lenfest Institute for Journalism, the nonprofit organization that owns what I have sometimes called The Philadelphia Enquirer¹. In Wednesday morning’s newspaper, he is “Giving thanks — and offering up a prayer — for America’s free press: On this, more than any …

No Matter How Much You Hate the Credentialed Media, You Do Not Hate Them Enough!

Jake Tapper, the lead Washington anchor for CNN, and Senior White House correspondent for ABC News before that, is a very well connected man in Washington media circles.

Journolism: The Credentialed Media Don’t Exactly Lie, But They Conceal Politically Incorrect Facts

No, that’s not a typographical error in the title: the spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. We use the term ‘journolism’ frequently when writing about media bias. Journalism at least used to be a profession …

What the Credentialed Media Don’t Tell You Is As Important As What They Do

The in-school assault was serious enough that several credentialed media sources reported on it, and how the school was warned, in advance, that the attack would occur, and did nothing.

Journolism: The Credentialed Media Don’t Actually Lie, But They Conceal Politically Incorrect Facts

We have said it before: the journolists¹ of the credentialed media don’t outright lie to us, but they are very good at not mentioning politically incorrect facts. For instance, we recently reported that The Philadelphia Inquirer, our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, made no mention at all of the murder of 19-year-old Nafiese …

Journolism: The Credentialed Media Don’t Exactly Lie to Us, But They Conceal Politically Incorrect Facts in a Biased Manner

The New York Times Thought We Wouldn’t Notice, But We Did!

When people show you who they are, believe them! In the first Avengers movie, Robert Downey, Jr, as Tony Stark, spots a SHIELD technician playing a video game at his terminal, and says, loudly, “That man is playing Galaga. He thought we wouldn’t notice, but we did.” The tech quickly shuts down Galaga and returns …

If you’re indicted, you’re invited! Journalism Is Dead

As with every political party, there exists a broad spectrum in terms of extremity among Democrats, whose members range from the sane, such as Bill Maher and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, to the rabid, such as Fox News’ token liberal Juan Williams and the New York Times’ Frank Bruni.  Obviously, I am …

The Associated Press Will Happily Tell You What Their Biases Are . . . If You Pay Them!

Associated Press

We have frequently mocked The Philadelphia Inquirer’s very much unpublished stylebook, a manual and guide concerning how things should be expressed, in its use of “Black and brown” to refer to minority communities. While I cannot document this, it appears that the Inquirer use the Associated Press Stylebook, which was modified , in June of …
