Lefty’s lovefest continues: “Timid Tom” Perriello silent on illegal immigration?
Brian “Lefty” McNeill’s “thing” for Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello continues to threaten the communication credibility of his journalistic habitat, aka the Daily Progress.
In the 8/22/10 edition of the Daily Perriello, McNeill pens a feature story on Virginia’s three 5th District Congressional candidates and their respective positions on the 14th Amendment. Amazingly, the slanted spread includes [...]
Perriello sign-ban shot down: King Tom’s fascist tactic taken from SEIU playbook
The Rutherford Institute, yesterday, strongly condemned Congressman Tom Perriello’s Town Hall “sign-ban” as “an act of outright censorship” that comes “at the expense of his constituents’ First Amendment rights to freedom of expression.”
Within hours of Rutherford releasing their statement along with a letter (which threatened legal action) sent to directly to “King Tom” Perriello, the [...]
Lefty loves Tom Perriello: McNeill, too, slants the news
Words are powerful.
Words can be used to clarify; words can be used to obfuscate.
When perusing the daily newspaper, one should not need to parse. Sadly, when Brian “Lefty” McNeill is at the pen, every printed word must be run through an objectivity strainer, and the spaces between the lines, as well, must be weighed for [...]
Bigmouth strikes again: Perriello lackey caught dissing Clark on live web stream
In an extremely embarrassing case of “loose lips” syndrome, an unknown female staffer—apparently in the employ of Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello—launched into a post-event screed, including a profanity-laced evaluation of independent Jeff Clark’s performance in the Senior Statesmen of Virginia debate, held in Charlottesville today.
While the anti-Clark invective was not itself recorded by The Schilling [...]
Jawing with Jay: Rob Schilling interviewed on religion, politics and faith
Charlottesville, Virginia, where “Democrat” is the religion and government is the “church”—a likely place for a frank discussion of faith’s intersection with politics?
That depends on who’s talking. In this case Rob Schilling is invited to examine the hot-button topic on CBS 19’s weekly series, Jay James on Faith.
In this brief segment, which originally aired on [...]
Phoenix rising: Banned Albemarle high school editorial re-published
Ellie Leech’s editorial, Student’s P.E. Groans Might Be Warranted, was too hot for publication in Albemarle High School’s (AHS) student newspaper, The Revolution. The controversial piece was printed, but the papers reportedly were destroyed prior to distribution, following complaints from some AHS physical education teachers.
The subject of today’s lead editorial in the Daily Progress, the [...]
Open trough: Charlottesville City’s $360M “free” lunch
Charlottesville City’s Director of Disinformation, Ric Barrick, is at it again. This time he’s promising something that never has existed: a “free” lunch.
Barrick deceptively headlined his June 18, 2010 press release (see below), “Charlottesville Parks Department to Provide Free Lunch this Summer,” assuming that media outlets would “swallow” and “spit out whole” his pablum.
A fatal [...]
Belmont blues: Embattled residents respond to Daily Progress reporting omissions
In an ongoing effort to provide a “voice to the voiceless” in Charlottesville, The Schilling Show Blog and News has committed to publishing materials refused for publication at other media outlets. In this case, an unpublished letter from Belmont residents to the Daily Progress responds to the newspaper’s May 29, 2010 story, “Charlottesville unaware it [...]
Dems, Dems everywhere, but not a voice to speak: Young Democrats AWOL from Schilling Show
Following months of spotty attendance and multiple abrupt cancellations, the Virginia Young Democrats (VAYD) have “pulled the plug” on their scheduled appearances on WINA’s The Schilling Show.
The longstanding monthly segment featured a representative from the Jefferson Area Young Republicans (who never missed a date) squaring-off against a member of the VAYD in an hour-long, issues-oriented [...]
Daily Perriello: “Lefty” McNeill misreports liberal protest at Congressman’s office
As a news source, the Daily Progress often is not to be trusted, especially when neo-socialist writer Brian “Lefty” McNeill is behind the pen.
Regular readers of the paper are familiar with McNeill’s liberal slant, but most do not have the means to fact-check his frequent “news-itorials,”—put forth by his publication as straight news.
In delayed coverage [...]
