Not big shock here: David Gregory will take the reins as moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Huffington Post has learned. Gregory has been a leading contender for the permanent spot since Tom Brokaw stepped in as interim moderator following Tim Russert’s death in June. In recent weeks, a short list including Gregory, Andrea […]
They keep getting nastier and nastier: Worse, Palin’s routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric’s questions for her “less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media.” At that, Palin […]
We get yet another installment of Katie Couric’s interviews with Sarah Palin. It’s really amazing. We are seeing Sarah Palin go down in flames, made possible by a woman in the media who was considered to have gone down in flames. Couric’s stock is definitely going up with these.
Palin says media coverage hasn’t been sexist That was from the Katie Couric interview and probably a key point missed from all the flubs she made. So when we get the GOP out there talking about the “sexist treatment” of Palin, perhaps it’s time to ask them about this – like why they feel its […]
It looks like the interview of Sarah Palin by Katie Couric last week that we saw may have actually been the good parts for Palin. Reports now say that CBS actually has more video that is much worse for Palin: And the worst may be yet to come for Palin; sources say CBS has two […]
Ed Schultz has this very interesting blurb on his front page right now: McCain Camp insiders say Palin “clueless” Capitol Hill sources are telling me that senior McCain people are more than concerned about Palin. The campaign has held a mock debate and a mock press conference; both are being described as “disastrous.” One senior […]
Katie Couric stumped her tonight during her interview: So what does that mean to the McCain campaign? Postpone the VP debate of course! SARAH PALIN IS A DISASTER! Get over it John. The cat has been out of the bag since you picked her, but now more Americans are seeing it. UPDATE: Thinking about it […]
Oh how sweet this is. McCain had a web ad out that twisted what Katie Couric had said about sexism in the campaigns. Well CBS complained to YouTube about the ad and YouTube acted properly and pulled it. **Hidden Irony – we are champion CBS, which is owned by Viacom, for actually having a video […]
The big F.U. that corporate media execs gave to the American people and, more importantly, U.S. soldiers. Jessica Yellin told Anderson Cooper last night the following: Yellin: I think the press corps dropped the ball in the beginning when the lead up to war began, uh the press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate […]
It looks like ABC’s poorly handled debate might have made an impact on the decision: The North Carolina Democratic Party has dropped plans for an April 27 debate, which would have been moderated by CBS’s Katie Couric. Clinton had agreed to the debate; Obama did not, and the party said in a statement that the […]
