C’mon man! Mississippi media bias is out in the open
One of Monday Night Football’s most popular pre-game segments is entitled C’mon Man. It’s a light hearted look back at the week of the less memorable moments in sports highlights. Mississippi media’s “C’mon Man” has had a hell of a couple of weeks. In fact, it’s gotten pathetic. Even more pathetic than it was. Not…

Our analysis of the Mississippi Special Senate Election
Most Mississippians woke up on November 28th thinking, “Whew. I’m glad that’s over”. Mississippi got a small taste of “big boy” national politics during the 2014 Republican Senate Primary, but this 2018 special election was the first nationally focused political race featuring both parties that had any meaning or intrigue in more than a decade. …

The “Kavanaugh” treatment of Cindy Hyde-Smith now in full swing
Ever since last week’s debate, the media has become over the top desperate. It’s full-on panic time and local outlets are getting the full-on bullhorn treatment from national outlets. It’s Mississippi’s version of the Kavanaugh hearings. High school yearbooks. People you’ve never heard of before suddenly being thrust in the media spotlight to say anything…

NYT and UK Telegraph both document how Mike Espy supported strongman now accused of warcrimes
A December 2010 New York Times article states that Espy appeared on Ivorian TV for Gbagbo in support of his administration. “Mr. Espy, who was traveling Wednesday and could not be reached for comment, had been in Ivory Coast this week making appearances on state television in support of Mr. Gbagbo’s administration.” In a UK Telegraph article,…

Are pro-Mike Espy forces overplaying their hand by trying to divide #mssen along racial lines
**WARNING – GRAPHIC CONTENT** Yesterday, a group of inner city ministers in Jackson hastily called a press conference to call on Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith to resign after remarks she made over the weekend in reference to a friend and supporter, saying, “I would fight a circular saw for him . . . If he invited me…

Wicker rolls over Baria – Hyde-Smith and Espy to runoff – McDaniel graciously concedes

The upshot of next week’s midterms – by the numbers
Mississippians are about to get a pretty definitive glimpse as to what sort of state it lives in. These midterms offer a pretty fascinating range of candidates. Establishment Republicans, unabashed liberals, “unity” candidates, tractor driving candidates, black candidates, white candidates, male candidates, female candidates, pro-flag candidates, anti-flag candidates, Trump-lovers, Trump-haters, well financed candidates, broke candidates,…

Pro Espy forces not #RisingAbove in the special election
Mike Espy has been ostensibly trying to run a “unity” campaign encouraging Mississippians to #RiseAbove. His recently launched TV commercial quotes Abraham Lincoln and talked about “the better angels of our nature.” However, the California-based superPAC that’s quietly shoveled well in excess of a million dollars via independent expenditures in support of Espy’s campaign seems to be…
