NZ media: Willing dupes

New Zealand’s glaciers could shrink by more than 75 per cent by the end of the century, contributing to an expected 12 centimetre rise in sea levels, a study says…’     source
But the report gives no details at all of the methodology used, and no links to the source of the claim. It’s merely an assertion published in NZ’s Stuff news, a handout, recycled under the byline of one Kirsty Johnston. Who no doubt describes herself as a “journalist”…..
Of course, within a week it’ll be accepted wisdom among the greenies and  assorted numbnuts pushing AGW.

“Hate” speech…..is very much a LEFTIST thing

In the wake of the Arizona shooting,there’s the entirely predictable chorus from the left, carrying on about “hate” speech. And the usual coded demands for controls on free speech. Yet the truth is that in political discourse, by far the most extreme and disgusting speech comes from the left. In their usual manner they’re projecting their own slime on to their opponents, making their own version of events the dominant meme, with the help of their media allies.
Ronbosoldier and Redbaiter have posted lists of just some examples of the filth the bastards are peddling. Go take a look and decide for yourself who the haters are.

Ed Morrissey of Hot Air has an excellent post on the subject of jumping to conclusions

the stench of the left.

It’s a bit rich and hypocritical for leftoids*–followers of an ideology which killed 150 million+ last century–to be banging on about “political violence”. And why is it ok to ascribe the actions of a lone nutjob to the millions of Americans who support the Tea Party, yet the actions of islamists who rape and murder must never, ever be laid at the door of islam?
* a leftoid is a haemorrhoid that’s had a charm bypass and a frontal lobotomy

How predictable–and despicable.

The leftoid media is already in full flight blaming the Tea Party and the right in general for the shooting of Dem Rep. Gabrielle Giffords..

No mention in the media of the haters on the left though. And the fact that the shooter listed the Communist Manifesto among his favourite books….

That’s a screenshot from Daily Kos that someone was kind enough to send me this morning. (click on it for full size)

UPDATE: This may be the most shameful coverage yet.  Redbaiter has a great post on this.

A thought…

Ronald Reagan defeated the USSR’s military capabilities by out-spending them, using the power of capitalism to force them to give up the idea of force parity. China may be using the same tactic against America right now and using Western consumer dollars to fund it. In which case the policies of the Obama administration are nothing short of treason.
