Them Scandals Some More
I DO mind that MY health care is at risk from a transparent smear and slur campaign, and nobody “responsible” in the so-called “liberal” media says a word.

Media Mess in Boston as Suspect is Identified
The national and local media went haywire for a few hours this afternoon after it was announced that a suspect had been identified in the Boston Marathon bombing. CNN completely derailed themselves being the first to headline an arrest had been made. That has since been called a false claim. The FBI released a statement saying: Contrary to widespread reporting, no arrest has been made in connection with the Boston Marathon attack. Over the past day and a half, there have been a number of press reports based on information from unofficial sources that has been inaccurate. Since these stories often have unintended consequences, we ask the media, particularly at this early stage of the investigation, to exercise caution and … Continue reading
This is what I hate about ‘Journalism’ as practiced
They do not care what harm their words do. They are trained to IGNORE the harm and rationalize it. (Think of Absence of Malice with Paul Newman and Sally Field). Continue reading

America’s Culture is Signing on the Dotted Line
by Walter Brasch The signing season has begun. Look through your local newspaper for the next few weeks, and you’ll see a lot of posed pictures of high school athletes. Everyone will be at a desk or table. Around each one will be their parents and their coach. In some cases, add in an athletic director, a principal, and someone representing a college the young athlete is planning to attend. It makes no difference if it’s a Division I or Division II school; sometimes it’s even a Division III school. Star athletes at the end of their high school careers get photos and applause. They can even get special financial aid and scholarships just for being able to play a … Continue reading
Our Old ‘Friend’ Michael Goldfarb Busted by NY Times
Mr. Rutenberg misses some small nuances, such as Goldfarb’s over-the-top role in the exposure, humiliation and punishment of front line combat soldier Scott Beauchamp and The New Republic magazine, whose craven editor, Franklin Foer was just REhired by the new management. Continue reading
Weathering a Blizzard of News Media Bravado
Ginger Zee is an ABC News weather person. She’s 32 years old, has a B.S. in meteorology, and says even in high school she wanted to be a TV network weatherperson. Not a scientist in a lab studying and analyzing weather, but a TV weather person. For more than a decade, she worked local and regional markets, mostly in Michigan and Chicago. Her other qualifications are that she is photogenic, has a somewhat bubbly personality, wears a size 4 dress, weighs 125 pounds, and was her high school homecoming queen. If she wasn’t on TV, she says she’d have loved to be a bartender. It’s entirely possible she’s competent. But, it’s also possible that TV execs bypassed thousands of other … Continue reading
