Chuck Todd explained what he tries to bring to NBC via his reporting. "I'm trying to ask the kitchen table question, the question my mom and grandmother want to know."

I almost had to remind myself to breathe inside the Newseum. There was Patty Hearst's gun and jacket. Donald Brasco's watch and Amex Card. A press pass to Timothy McVeigh's execution.

Well, it could've been worse. As 2008 mercifully ends, we're left to ponder a year in which the real and the surreal were pretty much indistinguishable, where insanity actually became tedium.

2008 offered quite the election, with both parties fighting to set our nation's direction. It took forever for Hillary Clinton's concession, and Reverend Wright was not a good connection.

With the 50th anniversary of the Cuban revolution this week, I remember the last time I talked to Fidel. It was at the Havana airport in 1988, and Fidel was saying goodbye to Maria Shriver and me. But this was no friendly adios.

For me, a WTF moment can be either good or bad, but has to be in some sense a little bit unbelievable, as in "You can't write this stuff." So behold -- my first annual list of WTF moments.

Dan Rather came of age wanting to be the next Edward R. Murrow, the cerebral and stylish godfather of broadcast journalism. The late Peter Jennings se...

I quite like most of the "unsolicited advice" that Jack Shafer, of Slate, has teed up for the benefit of incoming Meet The Press host David Gregory. ...
Eric Schmeltzer | Posted 12.04.2008 | Media
NBC cannot and should not expect David Gregory to "fill the shoes" of Tim Russert. I suspect Gregory would tell you the same thing. They have different styles; both are valid, but very different.

So how do I feel about David Gregory taking over? Uhm ... it's okay I guess? Like a wall painted with a particularly intense shade of beige?

McCain runs the gamut from rebellious teenager to grumpy old man without ever pausing at the stage of mature adult.
Kaj Larsen | Posted 10.06.2008 | Media
The level to which Palin refused to stay on subject during the VP debate, the glibness of responses, and the dearth of content, created a new low mark on the barometer of our public discourse.

Tonight I think we know who the next President will be. McCain kept repeating that Obama doesn't "understand." But he clearly did. McCain made up no ground.
