This is an old clip but a goodie. It’s the end of the year story from last year’s AC360° regarding the Trump/O’Donnell feud. What is hilarious about the clip is Cooper breaking character and doing the popcorn, soda and snacks bit that is often a shtick of John Stewart’s on The Daily Show when a [...]
Justice - D.A.N.C.E
In an update to a related story I mentioned yesterday, FreePress has published a report called: 10 Facts Kevin Martin Doesn’t Want You to Know About His New Media Ownership Rules (PDF).
It should be noted however that this isn’t about his cable company rule changes, this is about his media ownership rule changes. Again, these [...]
F.C.C. Chief Seeks Votes to Tighten Cable Rules:Oddly enough, Kevin Martin, the same man that wants to let media conglomerates basically monopolize a market, is trying to strengthen rules governing cable companies. The rule changes would limit cable exclusivity and lower rates for consumers. What’s Mr. Martin’s angle I wonder? By all accounts I think [...]

OK, so I normally keep the personal posts out of this blog but this warrants a mention since it is journalism related. Through the thoughtful recommendation of one of my professors, I am now a part-time employee (technically) of The Orlando Sentinel. I am a temp. online weekend producer, and so far it is one [...]
Once a month or week Bill O’Reilly picks a leftist movement or person and proceeds to attack the hell out them. Whether it be George Soros, Michael Moore or Ariana Huffington; O’Reilly goes nuts over them with very little evidence. It’s his shtick and it somehow works and gets him ratings.
O’Reilly’s latest target has been [...]
Today I am thankful for too many things to name. Basically, I am grateful for everything and take nothing for granted.
Be well fair citizens.
I know this is based on a book, which I haven’t read, but I wonder if this delves into the d’oh! factor of giving Afghanistan weapons that eventually fall into the hands of the Taliban. Looks like a good movie though. Hanks needed to redeem himself after the dreck that was The Da Vinci Code.

SHUT THE HELL UP!
Here, use this: How to Disable Facebook Beacon. Oof, that took two seconds of Google searching and a quick Firefox add-on install. No one could manage that on their own? Maybe you should get off the intarwebs and quit clogging up the tubes with your idiocy. It’s not a truck!
Yes, it’s a [...]

Fair and balanced, yup.

I forgot to put these up, but I had two more articles run. Both were speakers, one was a professor from Princeton speaking on illegal immigration and the other was the former first lady of Egypt, Jehan Sadat.

Gothamist has a great interview with Daily Show fixture, John Oliver, regarding the WGA strike.
Have you spoken with Jon Stewart since the strike started?
