Ginger Gibson Moving On
We knew that after the national media got a look at Ginger Gibson, she wouldn’t be long for this one-horse town. We got a tip that she has accepted a position with the Newark (pronounced new-irk) Star-Ledger in New Jersey. This is a shame for Delaware, as she was one of the good reporters over […]
The Perennial Sloppiness of the News Journal Editorial Page
Let us count the ways: 1. Sunday’s paper had a couple of UD Professors of Economics firing up the noise machine for tax cuts to stimulate the economy. Even though two rounds of tax cuts moved the entire budget from surpluses to deficits — and structural deficits at that — that absolutely, positively never paid […]
Kowalko on TV Tonight
This evening, WHYY debuts their new Delaware-oriented news magazine “First”. This is apparently a replacement for their daily “news no one watches.” On the debut episode, John Kowalko is featured to discuss the state budget mess (past, present and future). Tune in at 10:00 to see what’s happening in Delaware and get some insight from […]
Why The News Journal Sucks!
I don’t know if you missed it, but DelawareLiberal has been mentioned in the News Journal twice in the past two weeks. Both times, we were trotted out to smack us around. The most egregious was the mention on Sunday about our recent change in personnel.
The other mention seems trivial, but it is a little more insidious. Smitty saw it and pointed it out to us. The discussion of DL was that we were trading in baseless rumors.
Jason and Geek On The Air
We are going on the air at 9AM for 3 hours. Be sure to call in and give us some ideas about how to burn through 3 hours of talk radio.
DelawareLiberal Takes Over the Airwaves on Tuesday
On Tuesday morning Jason and I will be hosting the Al Mascitti show on 1150AM WDEL from 9AM to Noon. We hope to have a report from Unstable Isotope on Netroots Nation, a call from John Kowalko and, of course, your calls. What suggestions do you have for topics of discussion?
Kowalko Suits Up For Battle
John Kowalko has been fighting tooth and nail with the Governor (against the across-the-board pay cuts) and against the Republicans that don’t think that we should increase a single tax (even a small tax on alcohol and a larger one on cigarettes). But now, it’s crunch time. By midnight Tuesday they need to have a […]
Wrong Williams Channels Seinfeld-Writes Column About…Nothing
El Somnambulo is suing Williams for the 2 minutes of his life he wants back after wasting it reading his quote column unquote this morning. ‘Bulo will not provide a link b/c it will only encourage Williams to continue writing the thinnest gruel around, and he doesn’t wish to inspire further lawsuits or wastes of […]
Celia Cohen: A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Delaware Way
One of the first businesses affected by the downturn in business was Celia Cohen’s Grapevine “blog.” Perhaps Celia had seen her 401K get large enough that she didn’t have to work any more. Who knows. But one thing is certain, she wants back into the game. We know Celia for the fawning, inside baseball, incumbent-lover […]
Delaware Talk Radio Off The Air
It looks like there are issues at DTR that have caused them to temporarily go “off the air”. They are apparently moving to a new location and potentially other changes. It will be interesting to follow this story. I would guess that WDEL is quietly sighing in relief. Now WDEL can break news stories first.
Program Note: Listen to Delawaretalkradio.com at 4:30pm…or don’t.
I’ll be on talking about DelawareLiberal endorsements with Mike Matthews at 4:30.
The NJ Endorsement of Castle was Designed to Drive Me Nuts
From the headline on it is just a bunch of flat out lies and bullshit. Mike Castle’s moderate pragmatism is working for Delaware in Congress Really? I guess the economy in the toilet is a good thing. I didn’t get that memo. Also, what moderate pragmatism? Has enyone at the News Journal EVER looked at […]
New media watchdog feature: Props and Flops
In the spirit of Stephen Colbert’s “Tip of the Hat/Wag of the Finger” I’ll be comparing and contrasting instances of Delaware’s crappy msm journalism with instances of Delaware’s even more crappy msm journalism. Volume 1 Number 1…here we go Props to NJ Blogger Ryan comier for this observation: “Oh man, I wish I could go […]
