While watching CNN this morning, I was (un)fortunate enough to watch an interview with Dan Bartlett, the White House Chief Propagandist and Spinmeister Communications Director, whose primary responsibility seems to be parroting Administration talking points while wearing a beatific smile and knowingly denigrating the intentions of Democrats. Bartlett seemed intent on focusing on talk of […]
Here is more polling data that was compiled on the Washington Post’s blog by Chris Cillizza.

The February ratings are out and it shows a nasty picture for Fox with O’Reilly leading the nose dive. CNN is not in the top slot for the entire day with a 4% increase in viewership over the last year. FOX is in second, down 13% and MSNBC is in third with an increase of […]
What is truly amazing on this entire Dubai ports deal is the fact that some of the people defending the deal are the same people who have painted the entire Arab/Muslim world as being terrorists. If we are talking about torture, wire tapping or racial profiling then it is fine to question all of them. […]
