Loaded with weaselly, false-disbelieving language: "suprisingly", "interestingly", "stunning". Surprising to whom? To a prejudiced reader? And yet, what's surprising about taking legislative action against rampant corruption and illegal activities? It's insulting to the reader's intelligence.

Decent coverage, mentioning Palin as well, and duly noting that most of the attacks on Pelosi from the higher-ups in the GOP haven't been so crass.

But then, the author fails to mention that this was in the context of a speech which seriously played to McCain voters, an angle which will be necessary to build the broad alliance Obama will need to put his policies in motion. (Policies which, mind you, ... More »

Obama's Work Ethic

Due-diligence traditional journalist hand-wringing about new media. The example from Self magazine is funny, though.
