The Reagans

The CBS miniseries "The Reagans" has been nixed apparently after an outcry from Republicans, the right end of the blogosphere and talk radio. CBS denies outside pressure resulted in the decision to move the series to the premium cable channel Showtime -- where it will find far fewer potential viewers, and doesn't depend on ad […]

America Rocks the Vote

First off, the name. I'm sick of it. "Rock the vote." I thought it was stupid when MTV came out with it decades ago, and I think it's stupid today. They should've canned that slogan the same time they got rid of "Just Say No." The soundbite montage was funny -- I suspect it will […]

When I have a few spare minutes at work, I'll often scan the wire feed coming into the newsroom. This is a raw feed that you really can't access anywhere on the Web. As I was checking out the op-ed wire coming in last evening, I noticed today's editorials from The New York Times had […]

Duranty's Pulitzer

When word came earlier this week that Columbia University professor Mark von Hagen had completed his report on Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Walter Duranty with the suggestion that the prize be revoked. For those unfamiliar with him, Duranty parroted Soviet President Josef Stalin's propoganda and covered up a forced famine in the Ukraine that led to […]

No liberal media networks?

It probably wouldn't surprise liberal Democrats if the Republican National Committee scheduled a fundraising tour of Fox News studios. After all, Fox News is obviously a right-wing, pro-GOP network.
