This nearly four-hour documentary by Barak Goodman, a long-time "American Experience" producer and director, is a smear job, though more the death-by-a-thousand-cuts approach than a straight-ahead takedown.

The Denver Post Should Come Clean on Its Campaign to Protect Itself

I'm glad the Post is trying to protect its content, because I don't buy the argument that newspapers are giving away their articles on their websites for free. Still, you have to wonder about the Righthaven approach.

Tucker Carlson Launches "The Right's Answer to HuffPost" -- Why I Wish Him Nothing But the Best

Tucker Carlson launched The Daily Caller today and asked me to write a post for his opening day. I said yes -- and not just because he told the Wall Street Journal he reads HuffPost every day! He says that he and his team are "trying to think through what comes next in journalism." As they do, I hope they'll keep in mind that one of the greatest contributions the digital media can make is to counter the traditional media's obsession with looking at every issue through the cobweb-covered lens of right vs. left. Anyone looking at today's political landscape with clear eyes can see that on issue after issue -- the war in Afghanistan, the bailout, health care, the war on drugs, etc, etc -- the binary division of the debate into right vs. left has become obsolete.
