Err-America

Air America, the liberal radio network, went down in flames, Jan. 21, when it filed for bankruptcy. It wasn’t because of air-to-air combat with conservative talk shows and bloggers. It wasn’t because of the Recession, although reduced advertising revenue, a reality of all media, also affected Air America. It wasn’t even demographics, even though older, [...]

Conservative Fiction

Oh my… Sarah Palin is penning her memoir:
“There’s been so much written about and spoken about in the mainstream media and in the anonymous blogosphere world, that this will be a wonderful, refreshing chance for me to get to tell my story, that a lot of people have asked about, unfiltered,” the Alaska governor and [...]

America’s Buddy-Buddy Campaign Press Corps

by Walter Brasch
It’s a little more than a week before the presidential election, and I’m worried about what happens afterwards. I’m not worried about the candidates, the people, or the country. I’m worried about the media.

However, very little has [...]

Obama Gets More Flack As A One Man Gaffe Machine

As we discussed earlier today, Obama is finally getting some detailed Traditional Media attention. The WSJ says today:
As smart and credentialed as he is, Sen. Obama is often an indifferent speaker without a teleprompter. He has large gaps in his knowledge base, and is just as likely to dig in and embrace a policy misstatement [...]

Bill Clinton said Sunday, “I have never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running..” Well, just when you thought the Clinton bashing couldn’t go any lower… Joan Walsh explains (emphasis mine) on Salon:
The world is divided between people who consider Bill and Hillary Clinton monsters, and people who don’t. It used to be [...]

We’re In This Together So Let’s Do It!

No, I don’t think the situation is that dire. But we are up against formidable odds. The Mainstream Media has painted a big target on Hillary’s back since day one. The Obama campaign always seems to be swimming in money, just like Scrooge McDuck and is now trying to buy PA. The Blogger Boys have [...]
