You may have read that there is strong evidence of voter fraud in Houston. Here’s what you may not have heard: the organization accused of shady behavior is linked to a former head of an Obama campaign office. She is

Recently, Matt Welch and I utterly destroyed Eric Boehlert’s ridiculous claim that nobody at the L.A. Times was ever allowed to casually denigrate President Bush: And I don’t even have to do a Google search to know for a fact

The following is a document that James O’Keefe sent to me last night and has authorized me to publish. It is O’Keefe’s version of events in New Orleans. I believe this is the first time anywhere that he has publicly

This post debunks several liberal myths about ACORN that have emerged in recent weeks — many from Eric Boehlert of Media Matters and Brad Friedman. POSING AS A PIMP AT ACORN Liberal Myth: James O’Keefe did not pretend to be

**Update here: Boehlert responds… I am offering Eric Boehlert of Media Matters the easiest $100 he ever made. All he has to do to earn the $100: unequivocally state whether James O’Keefe pretended to be a pimp at ACORN offices.

I was wondering how I had initially gotten the idea that James O’Keefe had been accused of trying to wiretap Mary Landrieu’s phones. After all, if you look at my original post — in which I mistakenly said O’Keefe had

If you’re like me, you’re tired of being lied to. That’s what got me started in media criticism. I would read the Los Angeles Times every day and shout at the newspaper’s reporters and editors over my cornflakes. “This isn’t

Big Hollywood today reveals the extensive proof that shows the White House used the National Endowment for the Arts to push a political agenda favorable to President Obama. But it gets worse: the Administration lied about it, and tried to
