Just a month before a critical election, there are no signs that the anti-Muslim mud-slinging campaign is going away.

Perhaps Ifill's soft questioning and at times repetitive questions at the beginning and end of the debate was her way to prove to conservatives she was not playing favorites.

[Via Gawker/Sullivan] Back in 2004, filmmaker Robert Greenwald released a documentary called Outfoxed, which spent seventy-five minutes diving deeply ...

Given that Bush has grounded the ship of state on an iceberg turned loose by global warming, the failure to hold Palin up to the same standards as any other vice presidential candidate would be an act of gross irresponsibility.

A story on Google news "Video shows shocking cruelty to pigs" has pulled up an "associated" photo of veep candidate Sarah Palin and the internet is...

No clear definition of a journalist was reached. The deputy had no solid suggestions to take back to the city of St. Paul to help prevent a repeat of the RNC protests and the aftermath, and members of the general public had no idea whom they could count on for solid information in this critical election year.

For Corsi's day job, he works at WND, where the favorite targets are Democratic presidential candidates -- and the actual truth of the charges it forwards is irrelevant.

You remember journalists. They were the reporters and analysts who used to make sure that stories were true before they published or went on the air with them.

If influential blogs -- say, Drudge, Daily Kos, National Review Online or Talking Points Memo -- go out and say "X, Y and Z," it's now assumed then "the media" is saying "X, Y and Z".

After the Friday surprise that John McCain had chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate, the media reacted with shock and awe. Since then, while some m...

Obama should defuse McCain's attacks by making a simple argument: that even without the surge, the improvement in military tactics, the Sunni Awakening, and the Al-Sadr brigade truce would have also dramatically decreased violence in Iraq.

For a group that wraps itself in patriotism, the extreme Right is certainly being unpatriotic about one of the cornerstones of democracy--the free press.

It's 2008 and some black dude is running for president, but the movie review show based in Chicago - which has one of the largest black and Latino populations in America--couldn't find one single movie writer, reviewer, or blogger "of color" to fill one of the seats?

Only in America could a man who is a longtime Republican stalwart run against his own party, which has governed while controlling most of the institutional levers of power.

Palin will throw mud with impunity, then in the tradition of Agnew, Dole and Quayle yell "double standard" and "bias reporting" when she is called on it.

In the absence of a legitimate argument, and in the presence of half-truths and outright lies, McCain operatives are fiercely attacking news outlets that ask tough questions and dig up the truth.

The networks' convention coverage can be so mind-numbingly tedious that viewers are concocting their own strategies for staying awake.

When it comes to Barack Obama, the news media does its job with a vengeance. When Obama goes to Germany and draws a crowd of 200,000 they ask if he's ...

When seriously evaluated, the data arguing that Obama gets "awfully good media coverage" is just wrong -- wrong for one month by at least a factor of ten. So why do analysts keep citing this data?
Mark Nickolas | Posted 09.19.2008 | Politics
McCain's self-confessed "ambition to be president" isn't part of any media analysis when it comes to his own attacks against Obama on the same issue.
Mark Nickolas | Posted 09.12.2008 | Politics
What is particularly noteworthy is where the media bias lies: it's a clear willingness to give John McCain (R) the benefit of the doubt, but not Barack Obama (D).

I think I know why I'm still banned. Markos got this story totally wrong and his wrongness set the tone over at Daily Kos for everyone who attacked me and who continue to attack me to this day.

The real tragedy is that Asbahi is most likely a very decent person who is very American, opposes the Islamic terrorists and just wants to see Muslims and Arabs become more active in American politics

It's painful to watch these fools -- they don't know how a five-point popular vote victory almost always translates when it comes to the only metric that matters -- the Electoral College. (Hint: landslide).
