It’s easy to trash media.  They screw things up all the time.  Just pick a story, any story, and you’ll find something wrong with it.  For instance, today, Foxnews, which claims to represent the conservative peeps of the US, ran this headline:

Flip-Flopper?
McCain/Palin backing ‘View’ co-host Hasselbeck stuns viewers | PHOTOS
The story headline was a little [...]

Given it’s opportunity to see a woman advance to the second most powerful position in the world, NOW punted.  She’s not “woman” enough according to them.  In reality, she’s not liberal enough for them.  They didn’t even bother to fact-check their opinions, they had already made up their mind.  Now, most people I’m sure had [...]

Barack Obama’s having a rough week.
First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it.  That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson:
“See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a break in [...]

Now, I don’t believe that to be necessarily true, I just can’t find one I think is terribly smart.  Today’s example is Thom Hartmann.  In 2005, he tried convincing people that Jimmy Carter tried to prevent the Bush Energy Disasters - 28 years ago.  Now, the reason he states this is because Jimmy gave a [...]

“We’ve been down this road before. It’s the road that George Bush has taken for the last eight years,” Obama said.
And:
“The Bush economy is like a trap door — Too many people are one pink slip away, one missed mortgage payment away, one medical diagnosis away from falling through and losing everything,” Clinton said Thursday [...]

I went off a while back on Jesse Jackson.  He seemed to think Barack Obama wasn’t black enough.  Then of course, Hillary’s had some issues garnering every single female vote because she’s not womanly enough.  Once Barack was declared the most liberal senator in the United States, Hillary also got the dubious label of not [...]

I find this kind of ironic:

The study by Sacred Heart University Polling Institute found 45.4 percent of the respondents think journalists and broadcasters are mostly or somewhat liberal. Just 15.7 percent think they are conservative……
And, as far as which outlet is “most trusted?” FOX News led the way with 27 percent, CNN at 14.6 percent; [...]

Dennis Kucinich has barely made a blip on the polls so far.  More importantly, he hasn’t made a blip at all obtaining delegates.  Things have gotten so bad, NBC didn’t want him wasting their time at their next debate.  So, Kucinich sued to get into the debate, and won.  NBC, I guess part of the [...]

I read The Hill’s Congress Blog probably a lot more than I should.  It labels itself “where lawmakers come to blog”.  However, just about anyone can get a post on it.  PACs, unions, 527s, you name it, they’re there.  It seems to have become the primary communications vehicle for the whackiest representatives as well.  One [...]

You wanna know how bad things must be getting at Rolling Stone? I cancelled our free subscription. It’s really sad, but they really do suck any more. Following the decline of Rolling Stone over the adult period of my life is like watching an addict grow old. You sense a certain [...]
