The News Journal Op-Ed Page: A Wingnut Bastion?
What’s in the water over at the News Journal Editorial Board?
Today they are running an op-ed, “An Unconstitutional Nobel”, tha looks at whether or not President Obama can constitutionally accept the Nobel Prize. Oh yeah, the article is written by Ronald Rotunda, a senior fellow of the Cato Institute, and Peter Pham, a senior fellow [...]
Looks Who’s Famous :-P
Today’s News Journal had an article on local reaction to the Nobel Peace Prize award:
Timothy Pancoast, blogging on Delawarepolitics.net, which bills itself as “Delaware’s Center-Right Voice,” wrote: “Our great leader President Obama has won a Nobel Peace Prize. He has paid far less for that than most people pay to win at the Dover Downs [...]
News-Journal Unmasks Carper as Corporate Shill
About bleeping time, and good for them.
Given the choice of protecting senior citizens or his Big Pharma corporate cash cows, Carper chose the bundles of campaign cash. His ’spokesperson’ tries to explain it:
AstraZeneca, the global drug maker with U.S. headquarters in Fairfax, was the top contributor to Carper’s leadership political action committee, First State PAC, [...]
Why The News Journal Sucks!
I don’t know if you missed it, but DelawareLiberal has been mentioned in the News Journal twice in the past two weeks. Both times, we were trotted out to smack us around. The most egregious was the mention on Sunday about our recent change in personnel.
The other mention seems trivial, but it is a little more insidious. Smitty saw it and pointed it out to us. The discussion of DL was that we were trading in baseless rumors.

Absence of Journalism
One of our frequent targets of derision is The News Journal — from their inexplicable and often wrong keeper of the Delaware Way Mr. Ron Williams, to some of their very shallow reporting of local politics — this is a paper that doesn’t seem to know from the “paper of record”

News Journal Belatedly Addresses The Birthers
Cross-posted at Daily Kos.
The News Journal has been pretty late in the game in discussing what happened in Georgetown with Mike Castle and the birthers, but they have an article in today’s paper about the incident. The thrust of the article is about the distorting effect of the YouTube age, but it does [...]
The Unbearbable Dishonesty of Being the News Journal
The News Journal Editorial Board has decided to weigh in again on the Recovery Package — against FTR — and to do so in a way that serves not only as a symbol of the real lack of basic economic knowledge of folks in the media, but also is an example (one of many) of [...]

Do This Today
Mike Matthews (from Down With Absolutes) has posted his excellent writeup on the utterly industry-funded candidate for Insurance Commissioner, Gene Reed over at his blog at Delawareonline. His blog entry is currently on the front page of the WNJ’s website.
Forget that the new version of delawareonline.com is a perfect mess (it simply won’t [...]
New media watchdog feature: Props and Flops
In the spirit of Stephen Colbert’s “Tip of the Hat/Wag of the Finger” I’ll be comparing and contrasting instances of Delaware’s crappy msm journalism with instances of Delaware’s even more crappy msm journalism. Volume 1 Number 1…here we go
Props to NJ Blogger Ryan comier for this observation:
“Oh man, I wish I could go back [...]
My letter to Beth Miller at the News Journal Regarding St. Hedwig School
Good Morning, I see that you have written a few articles regarding the St. Hedwig School closing and was just curious if you or anyone was planning on doing one final piece on the school. Tomorrow is their last day. You know I can remember as a kid attending St. Mary Magdallen and dreaming the school would be [...]
