The Sun-Times and the Chicago Tribune editorials have called for the resignation of Senator Roland Burris. I oppose their position. I should hope fr...

Apparently, there's only room for one black man at the highest levels of government taking the nation to task on race.

It's telling that Goldberg never addressed the fact that I called him out for concocting a story about how Obama allegedly "walked into an Oval Office window."

Reducing Asian women into a sexual object is not funny, it is not flattering. It is perilous. We can see this when Asian women are subject to race-targeted sexual violence.

The BBC has let down its worldwide viewership by refusing to broadcast this charity appeal to help Palestinian victims of the violence.

Just shy of a week after Obama took the oath of office, there's a new tome out by Bernard Goldberg that seeks to trash the supposedly liberal "mainstream media" for being in the tank for Obama.

The battle over blaming the media seems to have heated up to levels commensurate with the actual battle over the Holy Land. Can the media really be fueling both sides in the Gaza conflict simultaneously?

A group of prominent liberal rabbis and other religious and cultural leaders have called for a cease-fire in Gaza. So far no U.S. media have considered it news.

When people complain about bias in the media, it's always bias against their own point of view, and never in favor of their side. Nowhere is this more true than in coverage of the Middle East.

That huge sucking sound you hear is Republicans trying to control their laughter. The two groups duking it out over education are largely within the Democratic Party.

A better way to improve our public discourse is to create forums where people with different biases and views actually have a reason to interact with each other.

BBC coverage of the events in Gaza portrays Israel as causing humanitarian crises by refusing supplies into Gaza. In reality, Israel was providing almost 4000 trucks of aid a month to Gaza.

A physical assault on President Bush failed to knock the Obama taint meme out of the cable news roundelay of hackery. They're visibly reacting -- knee-jerking and overcompensating, really, to eight years of chronic narcolepsy.

Obama could pick almost anybody for his cabinet and it would represent something new from the current lame ducks.

Portfolio's attempt to paint my film as something it is not by using political titillation and creating divisions where none exist is certainly not the way to steal back relevancy from the blogosphere.

When I was at CBS and working with the News guys, they spent hours each day planning to distort the news and never show America anything that they did not like! Boy was that fun.

WorldNetDaily's Whistleblower magazine alleges a media bias without an admission of their own right-wing bias.

Case-in-point is today's Boston Herald story by Dave Wedge on the custom-made armor-laden presidential limo that is being assembled to protect America's first black president.

Can the media be faulted if one candidate is committing the major share of gaffes or making the most inaccurate statements in speeches and in ads? Is it "bias" to recognize that?

Many in the media just can't force some misguided brand of phony objectivity this time around -- not with so much at stake.

Tom Brokaw lobbed softballs at Thompson, and attacked Kerry with Republican talking points. As long as he's host, NBC should rename its program "Meet The Right-Leaning Mainstream Press."

As everyone prematurely obsesses over a massive Democratic sweep -- which has not happened yet and may not happen -- we'll hear even more contrarian craziness.

I ask that you take a moment to answer the following questions and determine whether you have the skill and the know-how to vote responsibly for our next president.

The impotence of Drudge's attempts to get something to stick to Obama brings to mind the English expression "Brewer's Droop."
