Journalism – not?

Jake Tapper – how many OTHER MSMers are willing to call Obama and Bloomie idiots?

April 5, 2013

Since Aurora and Sandy Hook, we who like to shoot and support the Right that the Second Amendment enshrines have just about had it in listening to all kinds of folks who believe that they know best for society with respect to “gun violence”. Sidenote: and we all know that this phrase is a made [ Read more ]

WMUR demonstrates bias in Journalism – covers sparse National Day to Demand Action anti-gun rally, ignores .223 Day of Resistance pro-gun rally

March 28, 2013

Sparsely attended indeed for a day where the “kick the Second Amendment lovers” folks decided to have a “National Day to Demand Action”.  WMUR decided to cover it, with a quick spot at 5pm by reporter, Jennifer Gannon, sweeping her hand towards the middle of the Portsmouth’s Market Square announcing the soon-to-start rally – showing [ Read more ]

So, Laconia Daily Sun reporter Mike Kitch is being called onto the carpet – again?

March 26, 2013

I’ve been posting on Mike Kitch for years now ever since he showed his true colors (more later) as being rather hostile to Conservatives (and not just to me).  He has argued or screamed at almost every Conservative in town (or failing that, had a snide remark or worse, outright bias in his writing). Now, [ Read more ]

MSM Journalist Food Fight – nice to know they still knock Republicans

March 3, 2013

Well, the inside-the-beltway kerfuffle is that Bob Woodward (yes, THAT Woodward whose Deep Throat took down Nixon and his WaterGate crew) let the cat of the bag.  The White House ain’t exactly groovin’ to the news that Woodward put in his book (right, letting journalists free reign in the WH in important meetings – what [ Read more ]

Where Shawn Millerick beclowns himself – again.

February 11, 2013

It is clear that the Editor of NH Journal doesn’t like this bastion of Conservative / Libertarian news and commentary, given that his veins run blue with Establishment Old Guard and all.  After all, we’re just a bunch of ordinary schlubs here at GraniteGrok, bitter clingers to our guns, Bibles, and Conservative / Libertarian viewpoints [ Read more ]

Project Veritas – Well, we thought you LIKED Gun Free Zones!

January 15, 2013

I love it!  Once again, James O’Keefe III and his Project Veritas has done it again.  This time, he decided to see what absolute hypocrites the Journal News staffers were on their paper’s stance that people in the ‘hoods just had to know where the guns were.  Just like sex offenders, gun owners (in their [ Read more ]

Laconia Daily Sun’s “journalist” Mike Kitch decides to make sport of newly elected NH House Rep Mike Sylvia

January 6, 2013

I met Mike Sylvia a couple of years ago now.  Being a Big “L” Libertarian, his outlook on the size and role of Government is different than mine (not in direction but in a matter of degree; same page, different paragraph).  Which, however, puts him in the cross-hairs of the local Hobbessian believing scribbler Michael [ Read more ]

Whatsa matta John DiStaso, don’t like the ‘Grok much?

January 6, 2013

“As New Hampshirite Steve MacDonald notes, “this sounds like tyranny.” Given that Rush Limbaugh brought up NH Democrat House Rep Cynthia Chase’s name (AND STEVE MAC DONALDS!!) this past Friday, it was expected that the local NH media would be FORCED to also give a few column inches as well.  And DiStaso of the UL [ Read more ]

Email Doodlings – Conservatives should do Press Interviews – but watch the “how”

January 5, 2013

A good Conservative friend on an email list, well known in NH, refuses to do press interviews.  He’s had nothing but gotcha quotes / twisted quotes as a result, so he now leaves them twisting in the wind as they desperately try to get him to speak.  There are some that do try for the [ Read more ]

Kevin Landrigan – how often do you call the subjects of your reporting?

December 1, 2012

Kevin Landrigan?  Did you even BOTHER to contact Jack?  Or is this merely simple plagiarism? “Defrocked Republican State Chairman Jack Kimball hosted a meeting Friday to express outrage about the Horn ascendancy and volunteered to run against her if no one else would.” You need to read the ‘Grok more often, or are your sources [ Read more ]

NH Journal – hey, here’s a Journalistic clue for you, Millerick

December 1, 2012

Shawn, a word of advice for you (worth every penny you will pay for it) as it seems it passed you by the first few hundred times.  My post (and Steve’s) point out a fundamental flaw that even an elementary schooler (if not schooled at a Government school in the classification of “In Need Of [ Read more ]

And now Axelrod is calling out the Progressive troops – Democrat Operatives with bylines

October 4, 2012

“To you and your whole crew have a powerful influence on the political scene, you have an obligation as well to check some of these allegations” Axelrod – Obama’s svengali of campaign, is probably STILL shaking in his boots.  How could that know-nothing, that businessman turned politician, that CAPITALIST, outsmart the country’s best Community Organizers [ Read more ]

Media: Democrat Operatives – with a byline

September 29, 2012

“Democrat Operatives with a byline” courtesy of Instapundit        (Cartoon H/T: TownHall) I pine for the day that the MSM (MainStream Media) relentlessly once again pursues the President and his Administration on story after story, just as the Founders recognized  the power of the Press and affirmed it, just as they did under President Bush. After [ Read more ]

The Press response to the Naked Emperor…cover-up and deflection

September 16, 2012

And it has been going on for a long time: “Let’s talk a little media bias here. The media, I think, wants Kerry to win. And I think they’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards …as being young and dynamic and optimistic and all, there’s going to be this glow about them that some, is [ Read more ]

Reason 2,301,456 why the Media is in the Democrat tank for Obama

September 13, 2012

Like I said here, the Mainstream Media always picks side in the political battles and will pretty much sink to the occasion of “fair and balanced” when spinning what should be straight news.  The graphic is right: In LIBYA for gosh sakes, where they just fought a major civil war and things STILL haven’t calmed [ Read more ]

July 22, 2012

OK, I’ve been REAL busy doing interviews and then taking care of the care, feeding, and placement of the videos Sidenote: which means take the video, transfer to the PC, bring it into the editing software, start chopping it up, export each question (making sure to, you know, write the question down), upload to YouTube, [ Read more ]

Yawn – Mainstream Media Reporter(s) lazily gets it wrong

May 9, 2012

Updated and bumped:  Well, another loyal reader caught another Union Leader reporter, Paul Feely, making the same lazy mistake (emphasis mine): The video shows what appears to be New Hampshire election officials handing ballots to unidentified men, who videotaped the exchanges with hidden cameras at polls in Manchester and Nashua. Plural: ballots, men.  I watched [ Read more ]

You know, it would be good to get it right, Mr. Kitch

April 11, 2012

Yesterday was a “day off from work / a day of blogging activities” for me as I had promised a lady in our town, Barbara Aichinger,  to video record a Supervisor of the Checklist hearing.  The back story is just before our local election last month, local Democrat activist and public employee  Joe “No Show” [ Read more ]

MSM sharks – the “press avail” (or should that be “shark tank”) with Channel 9 WMUR’s Amy Coveno

November 30, 2011

Tonite was a great “teachable moment” in how the MSM can make anyone appear in a bad light – all it takes is an uppity attitude, a whiny voice, a TV camera, and a pre-determined narrative. I made it downstairs it to the press availability (already in progress) after the event – it was CLEAR [ Read more ]

A great display of “Objective” journalism Saturday night

November 14, 2011

Last Saturday was the latest Republican Presidential debate – sponsored by CBS with Scott Pelley being the main moderator.  Like a lot of Conservatives, my takeaway was that most of the candidates are getting better (overall). The effort put forth by Scott Pelley, however, said "POST THIS" when I saw it over at Big Journalism: [ Read more ]

To Catch a Journalist – Part 1

October 28, 2011

One would think that with his notariety, James O’Keefe would be hard pressed, via his Project Veritas, to keep mining the seams of spheres of policy, influence, and action, but he does!  Now in his sights is one of the big influencers of the culture:Journalism.  This thread is all throughout those institutions that create the [ Read more ]
