Chicken Halfaday: Democrat council candidate flies coop, ditches Schilling Show interview
After confirming a May 4 appearance on WINA’s The Schilling Show, Charlottesville City Council hopeful James Halfaday, at the last minute has chickened-out. Democrat Halfaday, who personally had accepted the invitation to interview—after an ongoing, multi-week email exchange with The Schilling Show—conveyed his withdrawal via email through campaign manager (and mother hen), Russ Naranjo: From: [...]
Duped: Daily Progress publishes verbatim MoveOn.org talking points as “letter to the editor”
Charlottesville’s Daily Progress prides itself on meticulous pre-screening of “letters to the editor” (LTE) considered for publication—often demanding that writers cite sources prior to production. The Daily Progress “Letters Policy” clearly states that “Letters should be the original work of the signatory.” So far, so good. In the April 11, 2011 edition of the paper, [...]
DNC, you lie: Student stands by Kaine U.S. Senate story
A national uproar ensued after University of Richmond student, Gray Delany, called WINA’s The Schilling Show on Monday, to report some breaking news.

Overpaid and underqualified: $93k Charlottesville spokesman are grammatically challenged [sic]
With all of the talk across America about overpaid government employees, we have a prime example of outrageous compensation excess right here in Charlottesville: City Communications Director, Ric Barrick. Expectations for Charlottesville City employees may be low, but at a salary of $93k per year (plus benefits), grammar-checking for important official dispatches should be included [...]
The return of Two-faced Tom: Perriello flees from, embraces toxic national Democrats
If you read the September 19, 2010 Daily Progress, you might be convinced that embattled Democrat Congressman Tom Perriello (VA-05) is standing by his man—President Obama—through thick and through thin, in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. Writer, Ray Reed, portrays Perriello as a loyal and steadfast foot soldier, marching in [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
