The War Pundits: Sam Power, McJoan, Danner, Mitchell

Ari Melber | Posted 07.17.2008 | Media

David Sirota

My time in professional politics and journalism leads me to think that conceit, ambition, arrogance and greed have been exacerbated by television, the 24 hour news, starf*cker-ism, and the rise of the Internet.

Larry Amoros | Posted 05.27.2008 | Media


Larry Amoros

Dennis Perrin

Now that Obama has the nomination all but locked up, and is drawing Springsteen-sized crowds, liberal pundits are asking the age-old question: Is conservatism dead?

Ban the Pundits

Marvin Kitman | Posted 05.21.2008 | Media


Marvin Kitman

If there is such a thing as poetic license, why shouldn't pundits be licensed? You need a license before you can drive a car legally. The information highway is equally fraught with dangers.

Jim David | Posted 05.16.2008 | Media


Jim David

Times are hard, and our trusted TV hosts, who should know better, are becoming unglued.

It Ain't Over Until It's Over

Marvin Kitman | Posted 05.12.2008 | Media

Karl Rove and the Media-Politico Revolving Door: It Goes Further Back than Stephanopoulos

Robert Schlesinger | Posted 05.12.2008 | Media


Robert Schlesinger

The New York Times traces the trend as far back as George Stephanopoulos's switch from the Clinton White House to ABC News, but it goes much further back.

Huffington Post | Posted 05.07.2008 | Politics

An Open Letter to All $#@%&$! Pundits

Jim David | Posted 04.30.2008 | Media


Jim David

I know the reason windows in hotels don't open anymore--so people like me won't leap onto the pavement below after watching more CNN, MSNBC and FOX than any normal person should.

Of Sharks in the Water, Superdelegates, and Hannah Montana's Breasts

Andrew Foster Altschul | Posted 04.29.2008 | Media


Andrew Foster Altschul

What the news media is selling is dangerous: Wright, Obama and Clinton, Iraq and health insurance and Hannah Montana all get stirred into the same idiotic, phony pot.

Moira Whelan | Posted 04.28.2008 | Politics

Reny Monk | Posted 04.22.2008 | Home


Reny Monk

"Clinton's Last Stand" "Obama Can't Close the Deal" "Bitter and Angry" Argh. It's a bad TV drinking game. For me, the hackneyed vocabulary of these politicos drains all meaning from the process!

Ari Melber | Posted 04.21.2008 | Media


Ari Melber

From the New York Times profile on Halperin today, readers would have no idea about how Halperin leverages The Page -- and Time's credibility -- to stoke gossip, innuendo and even advise politicians on dirty tricks.
