Our Liberal Media
Most of us on the left realize that despite the conventional wisdom that the media is “liberal” it generally leans to the right. It’s not unusual to see stories percolate in the right and then go straight into the mainstream media (look at “Obama’s Katrina” for a good example). Meteor Blades at Daily Kos did […]
Is Our Media Learning?
Back in December, NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen had a proposal – fact check the Sunday morning talk shows. The proposal was eagerly embraced in the blogosphere but seemed to go nowhere. ABC’s Jake Tapper, the interim host for This Week has decided to give this a try: The idea was first proposed by NYU […]
This Can’t Be A Surprise, Can It?
But nor can it be a surprise that Republicans are judging other people’s packages, can it?
Generic News Report by Charlie Brooker
Completely Brilliant dissection of the TV News conventions — and I thought I was watching CNN there for abit:
The Media Gets A Clue
NBC’s Chuck Todd notices that the Tea Party movement isn’t a “grassroots” movement like it’s been portrayed by the media: Chuck Todd actually gets this right on Meet The Press. Gregory played a clip of Dick Armey trying to say that the teabaggers represent the “center” of American politics as bizarre as that may sound […]
The Haiti Disaster Brings Out Teh Stupid
We’ve already heard about the disgusting statements of Pat Robertson about the Haiti earthquake disaster. Rush Limbaugh also couldn’t help making an ass of himself about the Haiti crisis. On his radio show yesterday Limbaugh said the earthquake in Haiti will play right into Obama’s hands by allowing him to play up his “compassionate” and […]
Bulo Remembers 2009-“Please Accept Our Apologies”
People are human. They make mistakes. And most journalists fall into that category. The human part, I mean. Story errors are generally ‘corrected’, if at all, in tiny one paragraph increments buried deep in the paper days after the mistake was printed. At least with American mass media newspapers. Fortunately, (a) sometimes the correction is […]
Best Wishes to Joe Rogalsky
We at Delaware Liberal received official word last night that Joe Rogalsky will be leaving as Gov. Markell’s press secretary to reconnect with his family and then to take on other challenges. Official in that it came from Joe Rogalsky. I, for one, will miss him. He made clear that he remains a strong and […]
Bulo Remembers 2009-Most Interesting Ideas of the Year
For the ninth consecutive year, the New York Times Magazine has published its Year In Ideas section. If you have a brain, you’ll want to read it. It is, as the title suggests, thought-provoking. I even found one idea that, were I a state legislator, I’d turn into a bill as soon as possible (more […]
Obama: Media Critic
Sometimes there are moments when you know that Obama just gets it. Here’s another one of the those moments from Time (via Balloon Juice): But then Obama made a turn, and went after the press, specifically the group of network correspondents who had interviewed Obama on his trip to Beijing. But it’s not going to […]
White House Gatecrashers: Fascinating?
We haven’t covered the story of the state dinner crashers, Tareq and Michaele Salahi here at DL because it didn’t seem like a big deal. The Salahis managed to get past Secret Service security, which raises some eyebrows, but ultimately nothing happened. The Salahis managed to get photographed with Rahm Emmanuel, Joe Biden and even […]

You have to see it really, but there is a transcript here. Shep Smith had on repub Representative John Barrasso from Wyoming for a discussion of the Public Option for health insurance reform, which definitely did not go as the Representative likely expected.

Fox News has apparently been whinging that President Obama did not appear with them in the WH blitz to appear on all of the talking heads shows this Sunday morning. Why would that be? Here is the WH spokesman answering that to ABC news:
