- More "Freak Show"-- John Harris discussed the Clintons' sleeping arrangements on Glenn Beck
  Posted by newscloud from Media Matters
  On the February 20 edition of his CNN Headline News show, Glenn Beck asked John Harris, editor-in-chief of The Politico, whether Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and former President Bill Clinton have a "king-sized bed or Lucy and Desi beds." Harris replied, "You know, a lot of times they are not...

- The Daily Show Rips MSM for Anna Nicole Coverage
  Posted by newscloud from Crooks and Liars
  The media circus surrounding this sad, sad story has pained me, so I really needed this. While the Bush administration is using the New York Times again to sell dubious claims about why we need to attack another middle eastern country, our entire media establishment (with rare exception) h...

- Kucinich Ignored in the Media
  Posted by rhoehn
  Congressman Dennis Kucinich is again seeking the Democratic nomination for the President. He’s serious, but the media, when they cover him, are not. This despite the fact that his anti-war position is far more popular in ’07 than it was in ’03.

- When science slams into the uninformed blogger - International Herald Tribune
  Posted by rhoehn from International Herald Tribune
  Interesting article about the power we wield as bloggers and consumers of information. With the new 24-hour news cycle, incorrect information can be swept up into the mainstream very quickly.

- Foley Story Wasn't Reported, Until It Was
  Posted by Billbar from NPR
  Months ago, several major media outlets learned about troubling e-mails Rep. Mark Foley had sent to former pages -- but they didn't feel they had enough information to go public with the story. Brian Ross of ABC News got the same information back in August -- but he found a way to crack the scandal open.

- Study Finds Lack of Balance, Diversity, Public at PBS NewsHour
  Posted by Billbar
  The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, PBS's flagship news program, touts its "signature style—low-key, evenhanded, inclusive of all perspectives"; Corporation for Public Broadcasting ombud Ken Bode called it "the mother ship of balance." But a new FAIR study finds that the NewsHour fails to provide either balance or diversity of perspectives—or a true public-minded alternative to its corporate competition. Among partisan sources, Republicans outnumbered Democrats on the NewsHour by 2-to-1 (66 percent vs. 33 percent). Only one representative of a third party appeared during the study period.

This is the only TV news show I watch and I completely agree that it’s biased, but I can’t abide the alternatives.

Fake e-mail publisher defended in Boston Globe
I was kind of surprised that the Globe would do this, but on thinking further, no. Blogs, especially blogs with large followings, are seen as a threat by the main stream media. Still, a hatchet job like that??

What happened to the media's love of sex scandals?
I watched the NewsHour on PBS Friday hoping for something in-depth. Nope. Heck, they barely even mentioned that Goss resigned without a replacement ready for him. Helen Thomas has a new book out about the MSM. It's mentioned at Crooks and Liars: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/05/06.html#a8186
