So, Vice President Dick Cheney slams Sen. John Kerry for saying that he would fight a "more sensitive" war on terror. Says Cheney: "America has been in too many wars for any of our wishes, but not a one of them was won by being sensitive ... A sensitive war will not destroy the evil […]

You just gotta love Paul Krugman. So book smart, but reality stupid. [A] new Bush campaign ad pushes the theme of an "ownership society," and concludes with President Bush declaring, "I understand if you own something, you have a vital stake in the future of America." Call me naïve, but I thought all Americans have […]

Good dental health is still just a dream for many in Iraq. Don't the Iraqi people deserve a "spiritual leader" who can chew his own food?

So I went trolling around the left side of the Internet and came across this from the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The title of the document tells you all you really need to know about it. ADMINISTRATION'S LATEST 2004 DEFICIT PROJECTION APPEARS OVERSTATED; Will Final Deficit Figure Be Presented As Progress In […]

A researcher at MIT has determined that the key to being considered sexy is your name. Linguist Amy Perfors of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology posted photos of men and women on the U.S. Web site "Hot or Not," which lets viewers rate pictures according to how attractive they find them.

The report is an indictment of Fox News' main nightly news show, "Special Report with Brit Hume," for featuring very few liberals in the news interview portion of the program. One interesting thing […]

Maybe it will improve over the next few days and weeks as reporters have the opportunity to really do some serious digging into the claims made by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, but thus far the reporting has been abysmal. Last night's highly touted "Nightline" episode was perhaps the very epitome of shallow reporting. […]

L. Brent Bozell's new book is an entertaining and informative read on the state of the U.S. media. If I was teaching a college journalism class, I'd assign Bozell's book, along with Eric Alterman's "What Liberal Media?" and have the students decide who made a better case. To my mind, Bozell's analysis is superior -- […]

I watched the rhetorical slugfest on Tim Russert's show this past weekend. It wasn't exactly title fightlike, it was more of a "Toughman" competition. Not a lot of skill was on display, but it was bloody. Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, with a decided advantage on reach, height and weight, it was really no contest as […]
