McConnell, Senator False face

by dfunzy April 18, 2010

The GOP, the party of popularism? Now that is a joke. For the GOP to pretend popularism would be an outright misrepresentation of truth. That crafty old, smart by half, Mitch McConnell, the GOP Senate leader, railing that the bill before the Senate, that would increase regulation of the big Wall Street investment banks, is [...]

Inspired Choice: Amanpour to Host ABC’s ‘This Week?”

by A.B. Arkawy March 17, 2010

I was rooting for Gwen Ifill. After George Stephanopoulos left ABC’s Sunday morning powerhouse “This Week” for the second anchor chair at “Good Morning America” TV news junkies speculated on who would fill his formidable seat. Internal candidates like Jake Tapper and Terry Moran didn’t seem particularly exciting. With a resume that included covering the [...]

Rush Limbaugh is leaving the country – NOT!

by brunettebabe2012 March 13, 2010
Thumbnail image for Rush Limbaugh is leaving the country – NOT!

This story seems to have taken a life of its own and morphed into something that has been taken so out of context.  Not that I’m a fan of Limbaugh but it started off as him saying if health care reform is passed-he’s leaving the country.  The correct version of that is he said if [...]

Racist Rush: Radio Talker’s Toxic Tongue Speaks Volumes

by A.B. Arkawy March 10, 2010
rush limbaugh

Every time he puts his racist foot in his fat mouth, Rush Limbaugh’s fans insist it’s all in good fun. They use words like satirist and provocateur. If stick-in-the- mud progressives or anyone with a modicum of common decency eschews such descriptions, they start waving the First Amendment and the blowhard’s undeniably large audience. He [...]

Battle of Media Titans: Huffington vs. Ailes Rattles Walters on ABC’s ‘Week’

by A.B. Arkawy February 1, 2010

It could have been the WWE Smack down of Sunday talk. Arianna Huffington, the liberal queen of the blogosphere took on Roger Ailes, the Fox News conservative king maker on ABC’s This Week. And political junkies and media mavens did get some end-of-weekend red meat to gnaw on. But what a feast it could have [...]

Will Sarah Palin be a factor in 2010?

Sarah Palin

Will Sarah Palin be a factor in 2010? Will she or won’t she? Palin has joined Huckabee at Fox News — cashing in on their fame. Rumor is that she left Alaska to come south to cash in, and she has been cashing in big time. Huckabee has already signaled that he may not make [...]

Obama in 2012! With help from his friends?

by dfunzy December 20, 2009

President Obama’s support for a troop build up in Afghanistan and for the Senate health reform bill has eroded his support among his strongest 2008 supporters. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, former Governor and Democratic Party Chairman, Howard Dean, leaders at MoveOn.org, the AFL-CIO, and millions of others have made [...]

Have the last laugh, would ya?

by Laura Bramble October 11, 2009

There are some obvious Glenn Beck fans out there who think that he stands behind what he says and is a man of convictions who stands behind the people who support him. Watch this clip of Beck on the O’Reilly Factor. http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200910090052 After railing on his show about how the Swine Flu epidemic and vaccine [...]

Picking Apart the Media Pt. 1

by William Wraspir September 19, 2009

You hear it all the time. Politicians bring it up, the media brings it up, and people talk about it in daily conversation. They worry about transparency in the government. They use the last eight years as an example and are pointing it out in this administration. But should transparency stop there? With growing concern [...]

Is Glenn Beck for real…

by Laura Bramble September 11, 2009

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWL-pfCao-U Just in case you had any doubt about the reasonableness and rationality of the pundits of the Right, watch this clip of Glenn Beck. Symbolism only has meaning if and when it is understood. I would hate to be Glenn for a day to see the world through his eyes- a world full of [...]

Hurray for the American “Patriots”

by Laura Bramble September 7, 2009

Much is being made of the vocal, paranoid few that supposedly speak for ‘all Americans’. They are being patted on the back by their brethren on the right as ‘patriots’ and ‘defenders of the First Amendment.’ I can only shake my head and feel embarrassed for them. It s unseemly, it s uncivil, and, frankly, [...]
