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.

Fox News is brimming with pride for having broken this Acorn corruption story, and that is certainly merited—to a point. As Jon Stewart implored ... More »

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.

A decent and mostly empathetic overview to a significant social phenomenon of my generation. But what's with the snarky ending? 1 pt off for attacking the subject of a fluff piece in the last line.

Nothing could be more alienating to someone in the midst of a crisis than a tool like Facebook. More »

A fairly obnoxious but not unintelligent criticism of one angle of Obama's inauguration speech: the bizarre denigration of leisure. It's true that Obama might have been driving home the conservative work-ethic angle a bit too hard. 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 »

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

The transition from midcentury-format magazines to web media is actually going pretty smoothly, I'd say.

A due-diligence right-wing NYTimes blog post about media bias, ostensibly delivered by the editors with a shrug. At least the piece attempts to give some left-wing reporters' candid views on the subject but not a lot of meat here.

The liberal media bias meme is fairly irritating as it's constantly being driven home by the mainstream media itself, an irony that appears to be ... More »
