'Fire Dave!': Crowd lines up to protest Letterman's 'Late Show' Palin joke
Topic: Media 5:54 pm EDT, Jun 16, 2009

An apology from David Letterman was good enough for Sarah Palin - but not for protesters who demanded the late night host's dismissal Tuesday at a Broadway demonstration.

Note to CBS. None of these people watch Dave anyway, so to hell with 'em.

Shepard Smith Uncensored: "We Are America, We Do Not F**king Torture!" (VIDEO)
Topic: Media 2:03 am EDT, Apr 23, 2009

Wow. I think Shep Smith may be out of a job, I also think he's dead on. I realize the vid is on a lefty website, from watching Shep, he's a middle of the road, centered guy, and he's on the money. Go ahead and skip the comments, just watch the vid and you tell me. I'm with Shep.

WOW! So much for that "fair and balanced" bullshit.

The Rachel Maddow Show -- Insani-Tea: Conservatives Rally Around "Teabagging" | Video Cafe
Topic: Media 1:32 pm EDT, Apr 10, 2009

Rachel Maddow and Ana Marie Cox have a bit of fun at the teabaggers' expense. I don't know how either one of them made it through this segment without completely busting a gut.

If you haven't seen this, well, I'm not even sure what to say. I think they've got the "ridicule and derision" part down.

NYC - Paterson, Limbaugh and Pericles - NYTimes.com
Topic: Media 9:05 pm EDT, Apr  9, 2009

Be that as it may, Mr. Limbaugh acknowledged that New Yorkers were “probably going to celebrate” his departure. He may be right. Mr. Paterson was certainly not choking back tears. For him, having Mr. Limbaugh leave is a dissociation for a better New York. “If I knew that would be the result,” he said, “I would’ve thought about the taxes earlier.”

And the blind governor gets off a good one liner.

A.P. Exec Doesn’t Know It Has A YouTube Channel: Threatens Affiliate For Embedding Videos
Topic: Media 3:59 pm EDT, Apr  9, 2009

Here is another great moment in A.P. history. In its quest to become the RIAA of the newspaper industry, the A.P.’s executives and lawyers are beginning to match their counterparts in the music industry for cluelessness. A country radio station in Tennessee, WTNQ-FM, received a cease-and-desist letter warning from an A.P. vice president of affiliate relations for posting videos from the A.P.’s official Youtube channel on its Website.

And now today's episode of "Attack of the morans" (spelling intentional).

Thoughts on Bill O'Reilly and Squeaky the Chicago Mouse :: rogerebert.com :: News & comment
Topic: Media 7:40 pm EDT, Apr  8, 2009

Dear Bill: Thanks for including the Chicago Sun-Times on your exclusive list of newspapers on your "Hall of Shame." To be in an O'Reilly Hall of Fame would be a cruel blow to any newspaper. It would place us in the favor of a man who turns red and starts screaming when anyone disagrees with him. My grade-school teacher, wise Sister Nathan, would have called in your parents and recommended counseling with Father Hogben.

Oh, just wait for the closing line...

What should government do? A Jindal meditation - Paul Krugman Blog - NYTimes.com
Topic: Media 6:54 pm EST, Feb 25, 2009

The intellectual incoherence is stunning. Basically, the political philosophy of the GOP right now seems to consist of snickering at stuff that they think sounds funny. The party of ideas has become the party of Beavis and Butthead.

Ouch.

Ward Three Morality - or David Brooks is the dumbest SOB at the NYT because he doesn't have Bill Kristol to kick around anymore
Topic: Media 3:46 pm EST, Feb 11, 2009

The essence of the problem is this: Rich people used to set their own norms. For example, if one rich person wanted to use the company helicopter to aerate the ponds on his properties, and the other rich people on his board of directors thought this a sensible thing to do, then he could go ahead and do it without any serious repercussions.

Really David? That's what you think the problem is? How about this. When people do stupid shit like that on their own dime, they're considered eccentric. When they do it on MY DIME, I'm going to get pissed off about it. You would think this guy would be smart enough to make such a simple connection, but no, and that's why he's now the dumbest SOB at the NYT.

The Action Americans Need

By Barack Obama
Thursday, February 5, 2009; Page A17

I can't remember the last time I saw a sitting President do this. This isn't a "Let's do a press conference, let's do a... This is going straight to the people in a way that anyone reading will get the message in his own words. This is different from the way the prior administration treated the press like a steno pool, expecting them to regurgitate and paraphrase. Interesting...
