It’s amazing. The big media types all jumped on that ACORN video earlier this year, despite it being edited to be taken totally out of context. Now we this story of Shirley Sherrod, someone who has lost their job due to the journalistic malpractice of one Andrew Breitbart. Over at the San Francisco Chronicle, a […]
Rupert Murdoch is a genius. Genius I tell ya! The Times has lost almost 90% of its online readership compared to February since making registration mandatory in June, calculations by the Guardian show. Unregistered users of thetimes.co.uk are now “bounced” to a Times+ membership page where they have to register if they want to view […]
I meant to hit this story yesterday. It also exemplifies the problems I’ve posted about in the past when it comes to MSNBC. Markos and Joe Scarborough got into a little Twitter back and forth a couple of months ago: JoeNBC: The Sestak story is as unbelievable a cover story as Nixon throwing little Checkers […]
Ben Smith at Politico just posted this: Washington Post Communications Director Kris Coratti emails: “Dave offered his resignation and we accepted it.” That’s following yesterday’s drama where Weigel apparently aired some frustrations regarding some right wing media types on a mailing list: FishbowlDC has obtained e-mails written by WaPo‘s conservative-beat blogger Dave Weigel, that the […]
Well this should be an interesting combination: Former New York Gov.

John Cole points out the ending of the CBS article: The trip Columbus probably cost taxpayers between $500,000 and $1 million. Air Force One alone bills out at $100,000 per hour, and the round trip is nearly two hours. Adding to the cost are military aircraft to carry limos and secret service vehicles, Marine One […]
Mark your calender because on this day I am giving out kudos to Bill O’Reilly in his proving that Sarah Palin is nothing more but a bumbling idiot. If anyone out there takes Palin seriously anymore then they need to get their heads checked.
Leave it to FOX News to manufacturer whatever they want to pass off as facts. Media Matters has done an in-depth report on Fox’s continued lies about Obama and the oil spill. This one really sticks out at me: Kilmeade: There are “problems” with BP giving “$750 million to a campaign like they did to […]
Oliver Willis came up with a great idea and turned it into reality last night. It’s a Liberal version of the Drudge Report, called National Confidential. It would be awesome to see this thing take off and become a clearinghouse of linky-goodness for the progressive blogosphere. Be sure to check it out, bookmark it and […]
Here is an article appearing on CBS right now: Faisal Shahzad on Homeland Security List Since 1999 That is one amazing feat, since DHS wasn’t formed until November of 2002. So how was Shahzad on a list of a department three years prior to that department being formed? (h/t GottaLaff)
