- Annie, Hold the Pickle
  Posted by Billbar from firedoglake
  As Annthrax slides ever further down the razor’s edge of ridiculousness into the rubbing-alcohol pool of obscurity, she’s coughing up whatever ideological hairballs she can to try and keep people’s attention from wandering. The nature of her pathology has become undeniably clear. She is the Republican Courtney Love. Every time she opens her mouth, she sells less of her own books and more of ours. We call it Wingnut Welfare for a reason. Reich Wing Affirmative Action. It’s an intricate web of familial and corporate connections dating back more than a hundred years, and without which Ann Coulter would be hard pressed to find a job that didn’t involve a meth-lab, a corner lamp-post, and a public defender.

- David Sirota: Finally, The Media Elite Admit the Truth About Themselves
  Posted by Billbar from davidsirota
  “Polarized primary voters shouldn’t be allowed to define the choices in American politics.” - New York Times columnist David Brooks. The perfume is off, the restraint is removed, and the ugly, rancid, sweaty-lockerroom stench of truth is there for all of us commoners to waft. Sniff up, contain your dry heaving, and you will finally understand that all the talk of the Establishment’s disdain for ordinary citizens is not just talk or conspiracy theory - it’s very real, and very powerful.

- Fake e-mail publisher defended in Boston Globe
  Posted by Billbar
  The Globe article makes Zengerle out to be a victim, when in reality, he victimized several people, including me, by his sloppy, inaccurate writing, I can't really call it reporting. But the underlying premise, first pushed by Chris Suellentrop with no evidence, was that Kos is taking money from pols for support. God, what a ****ing stupid transposition of reality. Kos gives money to pols. Most of the current ads on his site are for media products and unions.

- Three Iraq Myths That Won't Quit
  Posted by Billbar from Alternet
  It is hard sometimes to know what is real and what is fiction when it comes to the news out of Iraq. America is in its "silly season," the summer months leading up to a national election, and the media is going full speed ahead in exploiting its primacy in the news arena by substituting responsible reporting with headline-grabbing entertainment.

- Republican Lies Go Uncorrected in Washington Post
  Posted by Billbar from The American Prospect
  The falsehoods that the President and Congress had access to the same intel in the runup to Iraq has been thoroughly debunked numerous times, and there was a link between the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 and the war in Iraq.

- A Watershed Moment: Media Use Coulter to Suggest Blogs Are Impotent
  Posted by Billbar from Crooks and Liars
  Ann Coulter's June 14th appearance on the Tonight Show was also a signal to Democrats that liberal ideology can be denigrated with impunity. Had the words "Jew" or "Christian" or "Conservative" been substituted for "Liberal" we'd be waking up to a national scandal.

- The 'Bush Recovery' Narrative: How Dems Might Squander Their '06 Opportunity
  Posted by Billbar
  The anti-left and pro-right narratives are unbroken, they've simply been muffled by Bush's plummet in the polls. This recent spate of articles is evidence that the storylines can be revved up at a moment's notice.

Of COURSE the show has more Rs than Ds—they control the government, for heaven’s sake!

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

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
