Wolf Blitzer, DOA?
Wolf Blitzer (is that his real name?) looks like some scientist constructed him out of papier mâché. He should put on a flak jacket and get his butt to Iraq. Many of us have noticed that white-collar spread is taking the spring out of his step. Watching out for IEDs while embedded with Iraqi troops will do wonders for his figure and his ...

Wolfspeak vs Timespeak
Wolfspeak has a much smaller vocabulary than USAT but Wolfspeak isn't cloying as as Timespeak. Wolf doesn't use Mark Halperin's ''Land of Lincolner'' to id BHO. Rumor has it that Mr Halpering even thinks in Timespeak. Since BHO is now POTUS elect, Halpering is going to be inflicting ''Land of Lincolner'' upon us constantly; he is at his worst ...

Re: Obama's Relationship With Radicals....
speaking of fox news, i went on their website and was scared to death by the vitriolic words in the comments sections. in radicalizing obama, republican mouthpieces are encouraging the fringe elements to wave their freak flags high. in the comments, i read a host of oddball warnings about sen. obama being the antichrist, or something about the ...

Re: Treasuries...
I am much too poor and too ethnic - 3rd Generation American from Midwestern Chicago -- with three wonderful Italian Grandparents - and too fundamentally well educated to count myself as a Conservative, a Republican, or a John Birch Society Member. However, being 54 years of age, and seeing the disaster that is my America today, in every ...

Re: So this demonstrates what?
I think this shows that for all the criticism Fox News gets from liberal media, MSNBC deserves some too. Looking at just the Fox side, one could argue til they're red in the face about right-wing bias and agenda setting. This time, though, it looks like MSNBC was the worst offender. (Well, at least Olbermann.)

Let's break down who's likely to see this cover.
1. People who are regularly exposed to The New Yorker. What percentage of these people do we honestly expect will fail to get the joke? Do they even carry The New Yorker at Walmarts in Ohio? Doubtful. I was at a (fairly extensive) rest-stop newsstand in Ohio a month ago. I searched in vain for Lucky (though I did encounter a stack of Redbooks) ...

OBAMA'S BABY MAMA ? ? ?
In ongoing brouhaha's regarding FOX NEWS lack of regard for professional journalism, Michelle Malkin issued a correction: She mentioned when she was being interviewed by FOX NEWS that the phrase OBAMA'S BABY MAMA was being used in blogging at SLATE.com and NOT at SALON.com as she had previously reported. I cannot find this anywhere on SLATE. ...

Roger Ailes' first job in news
One hears so little about TVN these days that I've been tempted to think I imagined the whole thing, except when I remember that TVN was where I met my future wife. We both worked there on the assignment desk in 1975, the company's final year. ''Dark Genius'' indeed! Roger Ailes was one of the sharpest minds I've ever met. Whenever I had a ...

Slate Running to the Defense of Murdoch's Rep
Rupert Murdoch is a major, worldwide corporatized Media Baron who is wealthy beyond comprehension of most Americans and certainly most people worldwide. Rupert Murdoch owns a media empire that just keeps expanding, and which now includes the Wall Street Journal, and apparently now, New York City's Newsday. I would like to see a complete list of ...

The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .
. . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...
