Going with our recent media criticism theme, this is really intriguing: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHKzS5Zl6mY[/youtube] So Shep Smith calls out Ralph Nader, goes on Billo and refuses to participate in the echo chamber, and here slaps back the “media bias” whine.  What’s going on here?  In Obama’s press conference a week or so back he did not call […]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yAyQV8gOjo[/youtube] More data from Brad Delong on this subject. Paul Krugman takes down a wingnut talking point and does it pretty decisively.   And this clip makes the case for why more liberal experts need to be on these shows, instead of the weak tea of including a few journalists on a panel who are supposed […]
