The near-complete blackout on the Pentagon propaganda story, self-imposed by the culpable news organizations, is a despicable abdication of their role as a constitutionally protected check on our government. Read More
Probing a Political Paradox: Why the Discredited Right Still Sets the Agenda and Dominates the Debate How is it that the 28 percent of the population that continues to support George W. Bush no matter how many bodies pile up in Iraq, how many jobs disappear overseas, or how high gas prices get, continues to dominate our politics? Read More

Don't think for one second that the person who leaked the news of the meeting didn't know that that was exactly what he or she was doing.

There are millions of "Mommy Bloggers" out here networking and relationship building. We've been denied a voice in the mainstream media for generations and we're finding a way around it.

The National Guard story deserves to be examined again and this may be the only way to accomplish that. A lawsuit also gives him that delicious power of discovery. Who knows what might shake loose?

Here is the third annual (highly subjective, highly varied) list of the year's fascinating solo women.

The result of the White House spin, and the complicity of the press corp. in it, has been the deaths of more than 4,000 U.S. servicemen and women and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

For someone who spends the vast majority of her day (and days) inside the cocoon of West 57th Street, it's amazing Katie Couric knows so much about what "people" think.
Jeff Cohen, 05.30.2008
Given how TV networks danced to the White House tune in the first years of W's reign, it's fitting that it took the words of a longtime Bush insider to force their self-examination over Iraq.

Tthe story of Obama's victory has and will continue to drown out all the other recent news. And boy, was there some big news made by Scott McClellan this week.

CBS News never needed an anchor to increase its audience; instead it needed an aggressive online strategy. The last type of anchor it needed was an expensive celebrity.

Couric now admits she felt "corporate pressure" to ease off of Condi Rice and the Bush administration after a "tough interview" she conducted with the former.
Leslie Griffith, 05.08.2008
If the news magazines and newspapers are correct, Katie Couric's career at CBS, much like Dan Rather's, is toast.

Scott McClellan's new confessional that's pointed the finger at Bush administration figures in the Valerie Plame scandal reminds me of something my hu...

One thing you can be sure of, given their past record, with Admiral Moonves at the helm, CBS will be making the wrong decision about Couric's replacement as they smack right into the iceberg.

By sheer trial and error, she may have finally stumbled on authenticity by coming out of the closet and blaming traitors in the newsroom for her failure. No more Ms. Nice guy.

Katie Couric is disgusting. She's the abomination. She looks like the Abomination from the Incredible Hulk.
Let's excavate Katie's cutting room floor
That betch
I am so sick and tired of the media and most of the journalist! Yes sthey may cover obama more but it is only so they can get a "gotcha moment"! The media and most journalist are so biased toward's McCain it isn't even funny! Obama has really proven himself to be a excellent leader but you think they give him any credit for anything positive? I used to like Katie but she's dead to me now like most of the other commentators!
Why can't we just make him President now and avoid all of these awkward moments?
I want to ask Katie Couric back "but was the invasion of Iraq a success? Has that made us safer? Has that defeated terrorism?" That's pretty much Obama's point and Couric manages to completely ignore that. If making Americans any safer was the point of the invasion, which it was certainly CLAIMED to be, then it was a complete failure, because it has only added all kinds of new recruits to al Qaeda by making them think that the U.S. is evil, insane, racist, bigoted, remorseless, greedy, imperialist, and so forth. So going on and on about "but wasn't the surge a good idea?" is like a scene from "Alice in Wonderland." The war itself is such a horrible idea, and there is no mission and no reason to be there whatsoever, that arguing about the surge is completely irrelevant--unless you're a member of the Pentagon who opposed Rumsfeld's original plan to invade with an inadequate number of troops. But for the public at large, this is garbage!
say it with me boys and girls the invasion of iraq and the surge are two different things. can you all put down your video games and say that
