I was looking at some local news this morning, when I happened to head to the page of our local FOX affiliate. When I looked on their page, something really stuck out at me: It appears that our local FOX station doesn’t trust FOX News for their news source, so instead they go to CNN. […]
CNN is having some major ratings problems: Through March 17, CNN trailed not only Fox News and MSNBC but also its own sister network, Headline News, on nine out of 17 days.

When I did my previous post, I was searching for a transcript of Jindal’s comments. The first thing Google popped up was this transcript by FOX News. Same thing on Google News. The problem? It is missing a lot of stuff. No mention of sheriff Lee. No mention of the high speed rail or volcano […]

Just breaking on CNN that Republicans on the Judiciary Committee have blocked the confirmation of Eric Holder for Attorney General for one week. Apparently the big show stopped was rather or not he would prosecute people involved with torture (imagine that). This leads me to a couple of points: What do the Republicans have against […]
Wow – never saw this coming: President-elect Barack Obama has offered the job of surgeon general to Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the neurosurgeon and correspondent for CNN and CBS, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation. Gupta has told administration officials that he wants the job, and the final vetting process is under way. […]
A lot of people have been trying to paint Jesse Jackson Jr. as being corrupt since it was revealed he was referred to in the Blago indictment. Well it turns out Jackson had actually gone to the feds about Blago’s serious lack of ethics: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., who was cited in a criminal complaint […]
