From the NYT: But the president did personally telephone Mr. Gore to extend the invitation, and the White House changed the date of the event so Mr. Gore could attend. Mr. Bush’s press secretary, Dana Perino, told reporters the president is willing to let bygones be bygones. “This president does not harbor any resentments,” she […]
Looks like the House Republicans wants the House Oversight Committee to investigate the New York Times for publishing the MoveOn ad at a cheaper than usual rate (a mistake on the NYT’s people that Move On is paying for). So will the same Republicans allow an investigation into FOX news for being a platform for […]
Today’s NYT: Iraqi police and local officials said at least six children and eight women were among 32 people killed in a U.S. air strike on Friday which the U.S. military said killed 20 al Qaeda militants, including two women. Police Major Khedr Hussein said 32 people were killed at Ishaqi, 90 km (50 miles) […]
This is a very serious question. When you look at the responses today from the GOP over the NYT’s article on the government having nuclear secrets published on the web. Let’s first look at how the publication of this information came to being: Last March, the federal government set up a Web site to make […]
While I do not believe these few soldiers represent the greater United States military, I fear that Iraqi’s will not want to distinguish them from their peers as easily: U.S. soldiers stepped outside the law when they murdered three Iraqi detainees “in cold blood,” a prosecutor told a U.S. military hearing on Friday. “U.S. soldiers […]
This deserves some serious questioning: If you falsely yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater and everyone tramples each other to death, you get sent to jail. So what should be done with Ann Coulter, who has argued that The New York Times should have been blown up by Timothy McVeigh and that Times executive editor […]
While doing the last post, I noticed this little banner on top of NewsMax’s page: Interesting. First – that is breaking news? We got North Korea test firing missiles and a poll about prosecuting the New York Times is their “breaking news”? We really see the kind of “news organization” NewsMax is. This brings me […]
Now we have it. The United States House of Representatives is officially trying to throw their weight into the freedom of the press: The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday condemned public disclosure of secret surveillance programs as Republicans stepped up their criticism of news media that published details of a bank-monitoring program last week. […]
The New York Times has a great write up about YearlyKos today: If any more proof were needed of the rising influence of bloggers — at least for the Democratic Party — it could be found here on Friday on the Las Vegas Strip, where the old and new worlds of American politics engaged in […]
The New York Times reported today that a “scant” drop in abortions are seen in states where parental notification are required. This is something that people should really take notice on. Now that more states are pushing for legislation that could make it to the Supreme Court and try to get Roe overturned, a study […]
