Few in today's corporate-dominated mass media in the United States better embody our "ruling intellectual force" than Lawrence Kudlow. As his CNBC bio sketch indicates, he is no mere sycophant to the criminal class of plutocrats who rule our nation..
.Calling him a swine would insult our porcine brethren, so let's not label him.
my guess is that if John Edwards may make a decision based on not whether he has the gonads to sit opposite the no-spinster, but on whether he wants to give the time to someone who demeans him to the point of insult so egregious, that if true, Edwards would be rode out of town on a rail.

To be sure, Bill Maher is a political beast, but he is a comedian first. No matter how serious the conversation, Maher would never let a potential punchline slip by. But for Maher and Jon Stewart, revealing the dirt under the well-manicured nails of government wouldn't be as deliciously entertaining.

Add tolerance to the latest simplistic conservative explanations for Cho's behavior.
Tuesday, April 24:
Imagine the reaction if liberal politicians and pundits were blaming conservatives like Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives are blaming liberals for Cho's massacre at Virginia Tech.
Saturday, April 21:
People are finally waking up to what is happening around them.
How deep has the Imus debacle push Rush Limbaugh into his paranoid fantasies are he claims that David Brock's Media Matters is part of the Vast Left-Wing Hillary Clinton media Conspiracy?

As Coulter spews her hate towards liberals or those with a conscience, the true Godlessness can be found in the Congo.
Thursday, April 12:
This month's Scott Peterson is Don Imus.
The corporate media again choosing to trump up non-news and ignore real news. Imus was fired today; can we all get back to business now?

This is a humorous (?

Saturday, March 17:
Safely ensconced in their studios and offices, America's regiment of pro-war pundits barely pause to ponder the human sorrow of the war as they play their rhetorical games of one-upmanship with the hated liberals.
In my opinion, any periodical that continues to carry her column isn't worth the paper on which it is printed.
Wednesday, March 7:
If we were honest - and since we are both in the media how can either Bill or I be otherwise - we are spectacularly alike.
We both have harassed younger women with sexually explicit phone calls. Bill settled out of court. My wife didn't sue me.
Hell for Ann Coulter is a place without mirrors or anyone to notice her.

Conservatives should think twice before venturing into comedy - they already have one fake news show, why do another?
Thursday, February 8:
Right-wing pundit Jonah Goldberg made a bet two years ago that by this time Iraqis and Americans would agree the war was worth it.
Time to pay up.
The Barack Obama Madrassa hoax and Dinesh D'Souza's latest polemic "The Enemy at Home" are a sign of what is to come from the right wing media's true believers.
Tuesday, February 6:
any talk by right wingers about the left's hatred for the right is pretty clearly balanced out by this New Republic Cover calling Judith Plame, the C Word-- and that doesn't satnd for conservative.
It's time, on this issue, for the right to STFU.

Hugo Chavez begins democratizing Venezuela's corrupted corporate media by acting with legal justification against those in it that violate the law.
Monday, January 22:
If I could give any advice to the public on what to believe about Iran and its weapons programs, it would be to trust only what you hear coming from the UN and UN agencies like the IAEA.
Dinesh D'Souza's attack on the "Left" is riddled with errors and all-too-convenient omissions, suggesting both ignorance and fraud.

He calls Taylor a lunatic repeatedly and says she belongs in Guantanamo hanging from a hook. She states indisputable facts that he weakly tries to dismiss as opinion.
This man is not a professional broadcaster or journalist. He's a pitiful Bushco media lackey with his own show who more likely than not gets his talking points directly from Bush's White House propaganda office.

If you're a progressive living in the Boston area, you were side-swiped by the loss of our only progressive talk radio station.

Article about Iraq/media/pundits by Paul Waldman of Media Matters.
Tuesday, December 5:
At a time when an old-line right-winger like William F.
Buckley bluntly admits the U.S. mission in Iraq has failed, when even professional reprobate Henry Kissinger says a military victory is impossible, talk radio stars like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, and other media warriors remain intrepid defenders of the heroic rightness of the President's war.
What's wrong with them?
Monday, November 27:
Turn on CNN Headline News -- a supposed "news" channel -- on weekday nights and you'll be subjected to the lectures of a loudmouthed, factually-challenged, occasionally funny know-it-all whose shtick is that he's "just a regular American schmoe."

Kerry joked about Bush being stupid in his Iraq policy. The Republican Spin Machine turned it into a insult of our soldiers. Article examples the tactic, the history of the tactic, why it will not work and the stupidity of Bush Republican policies.
The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

Nimbly disabling the mind and conscience, corporate-supported propaganda shock troops have enticed and manipulated untold millions of people to embrace severely distorted realities and spiritually vacuous lives.
So absolute is his sense of righteousness that he never saw the derision he poured out upon Michael J.
Fox as a clear reflection of the depths of his own depravity.
Thursday, October 26:
Rush Limbaugh accusing Michael J. Fox of malingering is but his latest outburst of acute acrimonious verbal diarrhea.
On Wednesday, 18 October 2006, G. W. Bush granted an interview to Bill O'Reilly of Fox News.
Bush sought to reinvigorate the panic button base. However instead of being his sycophantic self, Mr. O'Reilly exposed some of the Bush lies, double-speak, and disassembling.
As a result, what looked to be a standard re-run of some Bushevik telenovela, All, morphed into a sit-com where Bush was forced to Jump the Shark.

Two recent online polls display the inherent bias sometimes found in them. There are still forces out there trying to distract the national discourse before the most important election of our liftimes, just two weeks away.
It's a tragedy that for the lack of an investor the size of Rupert Murdoch Air America is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. But its existence and ongoing presence in the marketplace is an essential part of the dialogue that is known as democracy.

U2 lead singer Bono's investment group, Elevation Partners has reportedly invested $250 million into the Forbes media empire.
Can the world-class busybody Bono find happiness as Steve Forbes silent partner? Or will he be the deus ex machina dragging Forbes kicking and screaming into the 18th Century?

A reporter or editor who doesn't have any political views could scarcely be doing her or his job.
Yet media owners want those views kept secret from the public. Who is served by that kind of censorship?
Thursday, October 5:
Poor, helpless Republicans can't do a thing wrong without it being mean old liberals' fault for either causing them to do it or for otherwise pointing it out as wrong.
Wednesday, October 4:
In "thinking out loud" and claiming that he was not offering any defense of Foley, Rush Limbaugh claimed that the Democrats set up the entire frigging Foley affair to win elections in November.

Don Quijote has met his replacement in "Culture Warrior," Bill O'Reilly's new fictional nonfiction book.
Tuesday, September 26:
Any government faction within the U.
S. that claims it alone is supremely right is un-American. Any President seeking to monopolize lies as truth and claims an omnipotent capacity to do so, while denigrating anyone who dares to challenge his vile revision of history is treacherous.
Or would the neo-con Republicans more than ever think that Dr. King was a communist?

Two articles in its September 23, 2006 edition highlight the continuous deterioration of journalistic standards at the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Friday, September 22:
Washington Post columnist, David Broder falsely declares Joe Lieberman and the recent Republican Senate revolt against Bush true independence, while bashing bloggers and re-defining the center ground of politics.
For two decades, I've been preoccupied with one issue above all others: that both ends of the political spectrum get their say in the media. One reason (among many) that I worked so hard to retire George W.
Bush in 2004 was my nightmare that a defeated John Kerry would be hired by cable news to represent "the left" day after day on a TV debate show.

Speaking at a gala event for the Washington Times, Bush 41 explained how much kinder the press has become since his term in office. Part of his 'kindler and gentler' nation?
Not. Part of the Moonies purchase of the honored object of the gala and one of the reasons Jr. has gotten a free pass from the press.
Bush makes no bones about his connections to Moon and his minnions.
Monday, April 9:
Barack Obama has chosen not to attend September's Demo prez primary debate co-sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute and Fox News, an aide said, effectively dooming the event. Obama is the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus running for President, and his decision allows other candidates to skip the debate without facing criticism that they are turning their backs on a leading black institution.

This past fall, Dean of West Point, Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan, along with military and FBI interrogators and representatives of Human Rights First, met with the team behind the hit Fox TV show "24" to ask them to stop using torture, because American soldiers were copying the show's tactics. We speak with two of the delegation's members -- former Army interrogator Tony Lagouranis and David Danzig of Human Rights First.

Staffers express outrage at Delay's editor book cover design. The current cover shows a gently smiling DeLay against a black backdrop. Penguin sources say that Senior Editor Bernadette Malone originally wanted a cover that showed DeLay alongside a flag and a cross.

Dennis Prager, former Reagan appointee, right-wing sycophant and verse-by-verse fundamentalist Bible coach, shows his xenophobia and spews bigotry towards Keith Ellison, Congressman-elect of Minnesota, a practicing Muslim, for being sworn in using the Koran and not the Bible. Mr. Prager appears to busy espousing his prejudices to have read Article VI of the U.
S. Constitution, "but no religious test shall ever be required."
