The mainstreaming of Al Sharpton

Al Sharpton is a gifted public speaker. He is also a race-baiter and a hatemonger. I was talking with a colleague earlier this evening when it seemed like the volume on every TV set in the newsroom was turned up to the max. They weren't, but when Sharpton speaks he's not exactly a shrinking violet. […]

Be prepared

The big "get" last night at the Democrat Convention was propagandist Michael Moore's appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor." For the past several months, O'Reilly has at times been woefully unprepared for some of his interviews. Just a week or two ago O'Reilly was railing against some judge's ruling in a case, but instead of quoting […]

Bush is to blame

Just got finished watching Ben Affleck talk to Bill O'Reilly on Fox News Channel. Affleck, surprisingly enough, didn't come across as a raving, left-wing loony. It's obvious he's been reading the New York Times, because he is woefully misinformed on some issues (e.g. Saddam and Osama hated each other and had no relationship). Interestingly enough, […]

All about Ann

I'm not a big fan of columnist Ann Coulter. As I've said before, I think that she's a bomb-thrower -- a conservative Maureen Dowd. Having said that, I was surprised to see that USA Today had dropped her column on the Democrat convention yesterday. You can find the rejected column here, along with the questions […]

Okent's admission

Someone inside the New York Times building has finally put in print what practically everyone on Earth already knew. (Dan Rather excepted.) Times public editor Daniel Okrent comes clean in Sunday's column. Is The New York Times a Liberal Newspaper? [O]F course it is. The fattest file on my hard drive is jammed with letters […]

Hey, you missed the election

The Associated Press is reporting that Sen. John Kerry "narrowly trails" George W. Bush in the electoral college. John Kerry narrowly trails President Bush in the battle for the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, as he makes his case at the Democratic National Convention this week to topple the Republican incumbent. […]

That liberal media

So, MSNBC has unveiled its blog for coverage of the Democrats' convention next week in Boston. Entitled "Hardblogger," the blog will surely be anything but. Why? Because, of the seven bloggers, one is a Republican, four are Democrats and the other two are liberal-leaning journalists. One blogger, Ron Reagan, Jr., is also a speaker at […]

As long as you know what you're getting

Aging singer Linda Ronstadt has gotten a lot of press lately for last weekend's performance in Las Vegas. Ronstadt's apparently scripted dedication of love and devotion for the propagandist Michael Moore caused a ruckus at the Aladdin which reportedly prompted concertgoers to dump drinks, rip down posters, boo and demand refunds. Well, it appears she […]

Fair and balanced update

 The Federal Trade Commission has treated MoveOn.org and Common Cause's petition (which I mentioned earlier this week) with the consideration it deserves. From Commission Chairman Timothy J. Muris: I am not aware of any instance in which the Federal Trade Commission has investigated the slogan of a news organization. There is no way to evaluate this […]

Playing catch-up

Today's New York Times finally catches up with the rest of the major media by putting a Sandy Berger story on page A1. Being a day late, the Times report focuses on the fact that Berger quit his unpaid advisory position to Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign. If you think the Times doesn't have an impact […]
