If you have 15 minutes, do yourself a favor and read the exposé of Roger Ailes, the chairman of Fox News in Rolling Stone. I had heard a good deal of the information before, but the story has been well researched and documented and weaved into a full picture of the man, his mindset and […]
News Journal Deathspiral News
Gannett confirms more furloughs. Despite all of your truly remarkable efforts to reverse the trend, our revenue numbers continue their downward slide and we have been faced with more difficult decisions. One of those choices was between more layoffs or another round of furloughs. We chose, for most employees, a furlough program consisting of at […]
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 […]
If You’re Wrong, Get Out of the Way
This advise to the GOP seems perfect today: Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy This is an incredible piece by Rachel Maddow, but here is the money bit:
The Making of a Conservative Lie
Steve Benen over at The Washington Monthly points out how a conservative set of lies became “news” this week. It begins with this lie from Betsy McCaughey who works for a wingnut think tank, published in the opinion section of Bloomberg: Specifically, McCaughey insisted that the policy would create a “new bureaucracy” called the National […]
And the Media Gets Played By the GOP Again
Remember that recent CBO report that media types and Republicans have been breathlessly citing as an analysis as to why the stimulus package won’t work? Well, it turns out that no such report exists: Reports of a recent study by the Congressional Budget Office, showing that the vast majority of the money in the stimulus […]
Chuck Todd to be WH Correspondent for NBC
We love Chuck Todd around here. Pandora quite possibly loves him too much. Apparently, he will be moving from the analysis chair to using the White House as his backdrop. NBC has named him their Chief White House Correspondent. I remember that I was quite envious of a shirt that I saw on a college […]

A lot of people continue to document the fact that Republicans and outright Republican shills are WAY over represented on TV news and yet the myth of the liberal media is the unkillable Rasputin meme of our age. Keeping Score Highlighted this before, but on the teevee on Sunday we have: 7 Appearances by Republican current […]
Do This Today
Mike Matthews (from Down With Absolutes) has posted his excellent writeup on the utterly industry-funded candidate for Insurance Commissioner, Gene Reed over at his blog at Delawareonline. His blog entry is currently on the front page of the WNJ’s website. Forget that the new version of delawareonline.com is a perfect mess (it simply won’t work […]
Allan Loudell Supports McCain?
Dear Allan, I think you are great, but I might have to remove that question mark if I hear more drive time reports like tonights. Now, I didn’t hear the whole drive time news, but what I heard was unsettling. First off, when Rakestraw was asked about her thoughts on the Democratic race he had […]
The New York Times (Hearts) Islamo-Fascisim
It is the evil Lib’rul media I tell ya! Limbaugh wrote in an e-mail to Politico: “The story is not the story. The story is the Drive By media turning on its favorite maverick and trying to take him out. The media picked the GOP’s candidate, the NYT endorsed him while they sat on this […]
