I feel a little let down and a bit sorry for Keith Olbermann. How does one maintain a healthy ego going from the glitz of an MSNBC set to the window corner of a poorly-lit cubicle with a vanity featuring

Remember that iconic PSA about the dad who confronts his teenaged son about the pot he found in his room? The dad angrily shouts “Where did you learn this?!” and finally the son cracks and spews forth: “YOU, ALRIGHT? I

But, but, we were promised that if he was elected the world would love us. What happened? Barack Obama’s visit to Brazil had a very unpromising start after police had to quell riots against the U.S. in Rio de Janeiro

[youtube hsDwEUJPlSU nolink] [youtube U5KOs-617J0 nolink] Harry Reid: a man of many tastes who loves him some liberal government radio.

He really thought he had something, too. [youtube UKH0S9t1xq4 nolink] A congressman smarting over legislation to defund National Public Radio tried to take out his frustration with a ban on federal dollars paying for advertising on Fox News, but the

Undeterred by opposition to an unpopular health control bill they rushed through congress, the deficit they tripled in just two years’ time, fumbled foreign policy moves, and disastrous energy proposals, Democrats believe that the problem isn’t with their policy, but

“And if the Republicans aren’t careful, they’re going to let their fear of bad PR kill the tea party revolution. And if they’re not careful what’s going to happen here is a third party is going to happen because the

Very stark difference between Jake Tapper and George Stephanopoulos’s reporting and that of Andrea Mitchell. Stephanopoulos/Tapper reported the fallout from the videos, namely, that it has resulted in the canning of NPR’s two chieftains and more momentum behind the push

And did they call the First Family a “black family in government housing?” Someone over at Hulu thought they would be clever by using the rollover tags to describe the shows on Fox’s Hulu page as “Ring wing propaganda, corporate

Aspen Institute statement: Ron Schiller has informed us that, in light of the controversy surrounding his recent statements, he does not feel that it’s in the best interests of the Aspen Institute for him to come work here. “Doesn’t think

We’re witnessing the same back-and-forth posturing with Vivian Schiller that we witnessed with Ron Schiller’s termination yesterday. NPR President and CEO Vivian Schiller has resigned, NPR just announced. This follows yesterday’s news that then-NPR fundraiser Ron Schiller (no relation) was

Williams lets it rip: [youtube Y-omLPYDKxs nolink] “These folks are doing damage Sean, to real good journalists at NPR, the people who go out there and gather the news, because they’re destroying the brand. These people are just destroying NPR!”

I like when non-broadcast people try to understand the broadcasting industry and present grandiose assumptions as fact. I like it even better when it’s done within the Tupperware-fresh confines of the progressive echo chamber as a way to smear conservatives.

A great read from Dershowitz. Prominent public figures have blurred another line as well — the line between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, between attacking the Jewish state and attacking the Jewish people. […] Former President Jimmy Carter too has contributed to

I’m always highly skeptical of Benny Hinn types who claim to preach from a perspective of faith but then do so without ever citing a single line of Scripture – or worse yet, pervert that which is written. That latter

I have a love-hate relationship with the Daily Mail. Some days they really get it and other days, not so much. Aside from them using a ridiculously Photoshopped Palin photo in this piece for which they should immediately apologize and

Well, we know which one Salon Mary Elizabeth Williams would save first if her house was burning down. If you think that the article reads more like seething, unspoken envy of a beautiful starlet that seems to have it all,

Media Matters’ main Soros blogger Eric Boehlert giggled through a recent interview, obviously amused by the assault of a Fox News reporter. [youtube 6ANPk_vBFEM nolink] Boehlert, who supported the N word drama of last year wherein video disproved his claims,

The National Institute for Civil Discourse opened yesterday at the University of Arizona. The institute is described as such: a nonpartisan center for debate, research, education and policy about civility in public discourse. Don’t you think people likely know how

WARNING: The below is graphic. I just read the full account of what seems to have happened to CBS reporter Lara Logan: Reportedly some of physical and sexual assault activity was caught on camera phones as well. One video purportedly

Not quite a year ago Crooks and Liars blogger Karoli found herself retracting a story she pushed involving a man named Scott Baker and some billboards in Buffalo – all because Karoli didn’t double-check to ensure she wasn’t indicting an

Much has been made by a few of my past criticisms of various media outlets, including CNN, with whom I will be working in the role of a contributor, it was announced last week. A broadcaster and a “teabagger,” as

Progressives have taken issue with a cartoon published recently on this website mocking the government overreach of the First Lady’s food regulations. The cartoon ran specifically post-Super Bowl to emphasize the double standard of what Michelle Obama says regarding American

Progressive website Alternet yesterday published a piece which called presidential contender Herman Cain a “black garbage pail kid,” “monkey,” and other slurs: As you know, I find black garbage pail kids black conservatives fascinating not because of what they believe,

From today’s show on radio row: [youtube 6gAy4f1GmkE nolink] “Sarah I love you.” An interesting observation: McMillan, in this interview, did more to stand up for Sarah Palin and conservative women more than the elected Republicans in Washington.

They’ve turned her name into a verb. Refudiate? The group founded by Van Jones (remember him?) is breathless in their hysteria and somehow managed to blame Andrew Breitbart for the words which fell from the mouths of Planned Parenthood employees.

Brent Bozell has a great piece on the irony surrounding the media reaction to Planned Parenthood. The same gaggle of broadcast TV watchdogs which has mustered endless outrage over the notion that the Catholic Church would fail to alert authorities

Fantastic interview from Lee Stranahan with Lila Rose, whose investigative videos on Planned Parenthood have been rocking headlines for well over a week. Here, Rose discusses the investigation, Planned Parenthood’s reaction, and the way in which the media dealt with
