I just did a little piece about how media was going the way of National Enquirer. Now, I was somewhat limited in my disdain since I was relying on the internet for my news. Apparently, the sexual innuendo wasn’t limited to the internet. Anderson Cooper had this to say about yesterday’s demonstrations: “It’s hard to [...]

Newsbusters is having all kinds of fun with Rachel Maddow of MSNBC. Here’s what Jack Coleman is having all kinds of fun with: Now, according to popular myth, and espoused whole-heartedly by Rachel Maddow, Hoover did nothing during the Great Depression. He froze federal spending and simply watched The Great Depression dig the country deeper [...]

Reaction to Obama’s speech in the media is about as predictable as you’d expect. Fox is finding all kinds of problems with it, CNN is lauding how their poll reaction was. MSNBC couldn’t contain themselves during the Republican response. I’d run a poll here, but I know most of my readers don’t like Obama, so [...]

OK, so we got a tv station owner in Buffalo, NY. He’s got a beautiful wife. For reasons I’m not aware of, the tv station owner decides things are not good between them and therefore cuts her head off at the station. Now, this is juicy stuff that makes for a made-for-tc movie and endless [...]

Here we go. The members of the US Senate class of 2008 haven’t even been fully seated and we are already sepculating on 2010. CNN has already decided the Republicans are in trouble in 2010 simply because, get this, they had trouble in 2006 and 2008. Logical huh? Wikipedia references something called the Cook Political Report [...]

WSFA is reporting that Birmgingham, Alabama mayor Larry Langford has been arrested by the FBI on some pretty serious charges. At this point CNN nor MSNBC feel it’s a story worth printing. If you read the local story, it’s pretty lengthy. It gets into what the background of the investigation is, who’s involved, and some [...]

This is precious. Immediately after the election, a few networks ran with the story that McCain campaign workers were claiming that Sarah Palin did not know Africa was a continent, among other ludicrous claims. Turns out, MSMBC’s source for the claim was one Martin Eisenstadt. Turns out, Martin Eisenstadt isn’t real. He’s a fictional character. [...]

Been out of action for a few days. Decided to take a mini-vacation. Came back to this side-splitting “headline”: Palin expands character attacks Her “character attacks” are mentioning people Obama has hung out with that just don’t look so good now that he’s running for president. In my world, a “character attack” is attacking one’s [...]

A lot is being made over the Republicans, me included, complaining how biased the media has been. I could cite evidence all day and night if I felt like it. I’ll just cite a couple of quickies from my own observations in no particular order: Sarah Palin has been scrutinized mercilessly, criticized, and editorialized relentlessly [...]

Several in media have been insinuating that there might be a double standard at play regarding Sarah Palin. Let’s see. We’ve had a couple of very recent events to compare. So, let’s do, shall we? John Edwards ran for President as recently as early this year. He ran on ethics primarily. He lost but maintained [...]
