(Bumped up Saturday a.m. from Friday afternoon.)
With Fox News against the White House attempt to censor the cable network. Check that, to shut DOWN the network. I am assuming that, by now, you have heard of the concentrated attacks on the Fox News Network by Administration officials, and the president himself. Larry [...]

That’s the headline I saw Monday morning at AOL . Of course my response was, “Whaaa” For real?? How fortuitous since General McChrystal is saying we need more troops in Afghanistan! Is this true??” And then I read the article. The short answer is, “No.”
Here is the [...]

Wolf Blitzer got spanked by Andy Richter in Celebrity Jeopardy. And he looks as miserable as his performance.
H/T Hot Air
According to Wikipedia, “The incident created a stir when, after airing, CNN President Jonathan Klein suggested that Andy Richter might be a better choice to host The Situation Room than Blitzer.”
Perhaps those in glass houses [...]

Yes, it is a Numbers Game today. My blogging buddy, Diamond Tiger at Logistics Monster had this video at her blog today, which I am shamelessly stealing (hey - she’s on HI time - she is up when we East Coasters are dead asleep, even though she is at the March on Washington. [...]

Actor/author/director/satirist Harry Shearer wrote an excellent commentary for CNN about his “adopted hometown: “Does Obama Care About New Orleans.” First he discussed the encouraging news that the city is becoming a leader in charter school enrollment, working to clean up local politics and is a city once again “throbbing with energy” but then [...]

The other day, I saw a post by Greg Palast, one he originally wrote for Huffington Post. When you read it, you will see why that is kind of funny. I wonder how they responded to it over there? I’m not about to go there and give them the traffic to find [...]

As you probably know by now, Obama had his face on national television - AGAIN - for what, the 174,318 time since he took over the White House? How ever many times it has been, this time was continuing to push his version of a Universal Health Care plan. You know the one [...]

Fox Cable News reduces its competitors to Lilliputs, who in this reference to Gulliver’s Travels, have been unable to catch Fox sleeping long enough to tie it down.
Instead, Fox is the winner of my Tingle Up My Leg Award, named for MSNBC’s Chris “Tweety” Matthews. Unfortunately for Tweety, his show commands [...]

The U.S. has spent billions to arm the Pakistani army and police, and contributed thousands of manhours training the troops. Yet the Pakistanis are sending in token police and soldiers to fight the Taliban, and rapidly ceding large areas:

That would be Susan Roesgen. I can’t remember the last time I saw a reporter behave so unprofessionally … well, except for last week’s astounding use of the term “teabagging” by Keith Olbermann, Andrew Sullivan, a giggling Anderson Cooper, and more. Back to Susan: My Inbox is full of videos and stories sent to [...]

By now you may have seen versions of this top video that has been zooming around the internet, and were posted here on NQ, by Concerned Mother, but the follow up videos are important to see, as well. I originally wrote this post for my own blog (since CM covered it here), but once I [...]

Teabagging: You seem to know why all your friends in the media are using this term, Anderson. Do you mind elaborating?
By Concerned Mother on Apr 15, 2009 in CNN, Current Affairs | 160 Comments
This is egregiously unprofessional conduct that breaches the basic canons of ethics for journalists.
This behavior wouldn’t be permissible in a junior high journalism program, let alone during live coverage of a significant event on a major news network.
I wonder if Susan Roesgen graduated from the Rachel Maddow School of Journalism.

Bumped up from March 4th. Why promote a story that’s nearly a month old? In a recent live chat, people were aghast by NYT columnist Paul Krugman’s remarks about Obama’s timid stimulus plan. Here’s why: An effective stimulus has to make the economy sizzle with a rapid-fire, mammoth infusion of cash into the economy-at-large, which [...]

Today the American Association for Public Opinion Research Ad Hoc Committee on the 2008 Presidential Primary Polling released a pdf report on the methodologies utilized by pollsters during the Democratic primaries. It is a long report, and a cursory analysis of it is available at Pollster.com. Much of the report focuses on the [...]

Holy Toledo, some folks are getting mighty hot under the collar about the “Stimulus” package, and some of the groups who feel entitled to that money. First up, we have Stuart Varney, an economist who worked for CNN, now Fox News, and his discussion with a representative of ACORN:

I would like to share with you this interesting article, courtesy of “I’m A Linda Too,” a regular reader here at No Quarter yesterday. It is quite something. A bit late in coming, perhaps, but hey, better late than never, right? The title pretty much gives it away: Media Critic Blasts Chris [...]

Of course, the moment PBO went into his campaign rally “schtick,” the media were like cub scouts who’ve been hiking all day, drinking the Kool-Aid and chowin’ down on the meal, no matter how not-very-meaty it was. But now that the focii are back on Congress’s negotiations, Geithner is testifying, the bank presidents [...]
