4 Videos on Fast and Furious
  • I’ve just been catching up on this a bit. Here are four compelling videos about this case. First up, David Ogden announces new steps to be taken by the DOJ including further support for gun tracing across the border and Project Gunrunner. This video is from March 2009: Next, after word of Fast and Furious came out via CBS, President Obama was asked about it in an interview March 2011 [...]...
    • Making President Bush Fade into the Background and Disappear
  • Jim Young is an obviously talented Reuters photojournalist. If you read the news you’ve likely seen some of his work, like this shot… That said, I think it’s possible that Mr. Young is getting a bit bored with his assignment. Specifically, this photo from May 7th (which I’m dubbing the “headless President”) makes me wonder if that is the case. What exactly is the news value here? Is Mr. Young [...]...
    • Video: Students Dragged Out of WI Assembly by Police
  • How about some more chaos in the Wisconsin Assembly! Welcome to the new normal: First of all, I don’t know if this guy and his friends with cameras are trackers or just concerned citizens. I’m guessing the former though. Who else has time to sit there and film all day? I also have no idea if this guy’s legal argument is correct, but once he started screaming during the Assembly, [...]...
    • All the Justice Money Can Buy
  • I wrote about billionaire Jeffrey Epstein here. In addition to being a patron of evolutionary science, he is also quite fond of teen girls. He was arrested in Florida for those proclivities a few weeks ago. Today, Ace has an update on the case. The Palm Beach Chief of Police has charged that Democratic DA Bruce Krischer — the same guy who has spent the last year or so trying [...]...
    • Hennessy Response to Goolsbee
  • If you’ve seen the White House white board segments, which seem like a clear derivative of Glenn Beck’s chalk board, you know this is an attempt to school wayward voters on the awesomeness of the Obama administration. But as Keith Hennessey, former economic adviser under George W. Bush, points out in this clip there’s a lot more to the story that Goolsbee omits. This is longish, but worth it: The [...]...
    • Video: Protesters and Police Clash in Italy Over Austerity
  • This is from yesterday apparently. More anti-austerity protests on the eve of a vote in parliament: Reuters offers a different perspective on the same events: Did you notice the red flags? Those usually belong to the big unions, though I can’t make them out in this case....
    • Great Halloween Story: Monster Becomes a Man Again
  • I saw the photos yesterday, but today AP has this report interviewing former skinhead Bryon Widner: There’s obviously a religious aspect to this story. We see Bryon in church. But the narration doesn’t voice any of that. No doubt we’ll see a book from this guy about his experience....
    • Jim Webb Critical of Libya Operation on MSNBC
  • The Daily Caller pulled the video: Webb is on his way out next year, but his criticism of Obama is certainly as valid as the same criticisms aimed at President Bush. More so when you consider that Obama didn’t get any kind of authorization vote from Congress before sending us to war....

    • Video: How Photojournalists Generate Scenes of Conflict to Meet Market Demand

    John on January 3, 2012 at 10:55 am

    Ben Domenech posted this yesterday. It’s longish but very much worth watching. It points out just how much of the conflict we see in coverage of the middle east is staged for the cameras. This isn’t a new idea, but in this case you have the testimony and photos of a young photojournalist to prove the point:
