Ken Shepherd notices Vanity Fair’s McCain cover looks a lot like a 07.15.08 Seattle Post-Intelligencer political cartoon. Yes, not much originality among the Left.
Jim Geraghty doesn’t like VF equating President Bush with Osama bin Laden.
Party Ben at Mother Jones‘ The Riff thinks the cover is funny. Oh, well. Not everyone has a good sense of […]
My reaction to the Vanity Fair cover of Sen. John and Cindy McCain? Eh.
The New Yorker cover it’s parodying was at shot towards conservatives and Republicans than at the Obamas. The hyper-sensitive Obama campaign didn’t think so. Vanity Fair directly attacks the McCains with a burning constitution, John with a walker, and Cindy holding plenty […]
Leonard Downie’s replacement at The Washington Post will have the mission of better unifying the print and online arms of the newspaper. That should be an interesting challenge since it appears the reason the paper’s online operations are across the Potomac River in Virginia is because of the state’s right-to-work laws:
But why was this gung-ho […]
Tom Brokaw will be filling in for the late Tim Russert on Meet the Press. That makes sense since he’s got the most gravitas in the NBC stable. At least the network wasn’t dumb enough to hand things over to Chris Matthews or Keith Olberman.

There are Reason fans on The Onion staff. Look closely at the last names and compare it to this.

NBC News’ Tim Russert died today of a heart attack. Obviously it was unexpected, but what makes it worse for his co-workers was it happened in NBC’s Washington bureau:
Tim Russert, NBC News’ Washington bureau chief and the moderator of “Meet the Press,” died Friday after a sudden heart attack at the bureau, NBC News said […]
Yesterday, I ripped Time’s Jay Carney for saying conservative webloggers were the source of the Michelle Obama “whitey” video rumors. Erick Erickson delivers the news that his college Karen Tumulty reported the story correctly.
Obviously Carney should pay a little more attention to what’s coming out of his own magazine. He is the Deputy Washington Bureau […]
For a member of the vaunted press corps with their editors and fact checkers it would be nice if Time’s Jay Carney could get his facts straight. Who started the Michelle Obama video rumor wasn’t conservative webloggers but Clinton-backing Larry Johnson. In fact, folks like Jim Geraghty and James Joyner were skeptical of the rumor.

About the Fox News “baby mama” brouhaha: it’s an example of the dumbing down of media and a lack of respect towards people like Michelle Obama who are putting themselves in the public eye for a cause they believe in. Take it from Kathryn Jean Lopez:
No, I don’t think Fox was being “straight up racist” […]
Does Mark Halperin possess any self-reflection? In listing some weaknesses to Sen. McCain’s campaign he writes:
10. That in modern America, perception is often reality and style often beats substance.
With his nanosecond newscycles Halperin is part of the problem. He’s always talking about process over actual issues. If he really cared more about substance he would […]
Megyn Kelly admits she was in a cheerleading uniform. Guys, quit drooling.

No, not me. I’m still job hunting. Mary Katharine Ham who made her name at Townhall.com will be editing The Washington Examiner’s website starting next month.
What makes it really good is she’s a conservative moving into the world of hard news. The MSM won’t change simply because we gripe, complaint, and shame them. It will […]

I didn’t really need to know Barbara Walters had an affair with a Senator:
After three decades of keeping mum, Barbara Walters is disclosing a past affair with married U.S. Senator Edward Brooke, whom she remembers as “exciting” and “brilliant.”
Appearing on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” scheduled to air Tuesday, Walters shares details of her relationship with […]
MTV’s The Paper has quickly become the worst reality television show I’ve ever seen, and the premiere episode hasn’t even finished yet. All it took was was copy editor, Amanda, in the first scene tell the camera, “Journalists are the most important part of the world.”
She’ll fit perfectly in Columbia Journalism School.
The Paper makes The […]
