  • Face it: the media were the biggest losers in 2008

    I took calls from voters at the Obama headquarters. About 20-30% were people calling in with the latest in cable news. “Morning Joe said this.

  • Media: Look for at Yourself

    So, when you say “There has to be a hypocrisy tripwire somewhere.” should that responsibility go to the press? The press has to be accountable.For example, when the nightly news shows begin their campaign coverage on a Monday night with quotes from Wesley Clark saying McCain’s POW experience is not qualification for the job of president – when ...
