NY Times — Gingrich Gave Push to Clients, Not Just Ideas

If you still need more evidence that the Grey Lady has traded legitimacy for propaganda, this piece should do it. Posited as news, the article is rife with insinuations that Gingrich has been involved in shady dealings, but provides not a shred of evidence to support them. There is not a single instance cited of his having done something immoral, unethical, or illegal—just a few hundred words of the purest smear.

Or this:

NY Times — Gingrich Wields History, Seeking to Add Chapter

Another hit piece. Expect more of the same as Newt rises in the polls. Having successfully eviscerated Cain, they can now turn to the next most threatening target. The Left can’t abide the fact that this is one candidate who could mince Obama in a substantive debate. Where are the articles pointing out the obvious disdain Obama—purported to be a Constitutional scholar—shows for our founding principles? Oh yeah…they disdain those principles, too.

CNN — UK condemns embassy incursion in Iran

Britain condemned Iran for allowing protesters to storm its embassy and a separate diplomatic compound in Tehran on Tuesday, warning there will be “serious consequences” as a result.

What, you’re going to impose a new U.N. sanction requiring Iranians to eat British food? Please. The current crop of Western leaders has long lost any credibility re Iran.
