Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
This week, Mona and Jay take a look at Kathy Boudin, the former Weather Underground terrorist and now an idolized (by the left) professor at Columbia and NYU and her relationship to Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Also, a “Need To Know” shout out to Cuban dissident/blogger Yoani Sánchez, a plea for for a wealthy Republican to buy the Washington Post, the outrageous lack of news coverage of the Kermit Gosnell trial, a tip of the hat to Margaret Thatcher, Rand Paul lights up the left wing blogosphere, and Jay make s the case for missile defense in light of new threats from North Korea.

One of your best. THANK YOU,
I fear that, just as leftist extremists and terrorists are the conscience of the left, so Islamist extremists and terrorists are seen as the conscience of Islam by many.
Mind I am not complaining, but Ricochet is turning into an adjunct of National Review -complete with rampant Anglophilia.
Join all in a rousing rendition of Mad Dogs and Englishmen!
Love the irony in your title this week.
On the subject of Grosnell’s Reproductive Rights Clinic and the media blackout:
When the subject of media bias comes us, we righties often like to console ourselves that the internet/Fox/alternative news sources has changed all of that. Unfortunately, we don’t have an alternative news source at all. All we have is a vast right wing media complex that is entirely dedicated to complaining about the left. Almost all of the Fox etc coverage about Grosnell revolves around the lack of coverage. Bill O’Reilly/Hannity/Rush/et al. are wall to wall bellyaching.
If the Right wants to be a force in American politics again, its media needs to grow up. Stop complaining about lack of media coverage and cover it yourself. Stop complaining that the NYT distorts the Ryan budget and provide your own coverage. You can’t complain that the NYT etc drive the conversation when all we do is respond to what the NYT says.
agreed…thanks to both
