Kurtz is the same guy who jihads against Glenn Beck now and then but calls Ed Schultz a newsman? The same Ed Schultz who very recently advocated voter fraud tactics in Massachusetts? Howard Kurtz is losing credibility and is becoming more of a liberal hack himself.

Re: "Your Friends": Why cite Media Matters? Oh, wait...
Re: "Big Ed: newsman?!?": Joeremi is one of the reasons I gave up commenting at ICN. The other reasons are the other far-left commenters there.

Cokie Roberts is intellectually sloppy. Rather than explain how it isn't fascism to subsidize the insurance industry (which is evil and greedy I've been told) by threatening Americans with fines and letters from the IRS if we don't purchase their product, Roberts resorts to an ad hominem attack on Glenn Beck.
Notice how Cokie set up that strawman? "Young man, obviously you are an acolyte of Glenn Beck. Rather than explain to you how using the IRS to force you to purchase a product you don't want isn't fascism, let me tell you how horrible Glenn Beck is. Blah, blah, blah...."

When I first read read the Cokey Roberts goEerie article, I thought to myself, "She can't really believe Beck is a terrorist and a traitor, can she?" I couldn't see how she could.
Then I read it again and again and I realized she did believe Beck was twice a T-word. How you say? Because she wrote the article without ever listening or watching either Beck's radio or FNC TV program.

I would be satisfied if O'Donnell became the regular host and we never saw Olby on TV again. He can still have a far-off hard-to-find radio show, but no TV.

I fast forward through every John Stossel segment on O'Reilly. The guy is creepy like Geraldo.
Unrelatedly, I just realized Obama is left handed watching him sign the health care bill. I have something in common with him!

As with Geraldo, John can be frustrating, but it's worth it. I liked Bill's shout-out to Drew Carey when Cleveland came up.
