Regarding the New York Post article encouraging conservatives to stop whining about the greater number of Democratic journalists (and therefore a greater appetite for Republican malfeasance) and launch their own investigative teams ala the journalists (and the Obama operatives) combing for dirt on Palin.
 
During the Clinton Era, didn't The American Spectator become a dirty word to the establishment media for sending out teams to Arkansas in order to do just that?  
 
THAT sort of thing was considered the utmost of evil right wing nefarious partisan shenanigans then. You had to have Katherine Graham funding investigations against Republican presidents, not Richard Melon Scaife going after a Democrat...
 
Former veteran CBS reporter turned media critic, Bernard Goldberg, points out that journalists are now demographically homogeneous.  
 
I think the better solution would be for the media to go after people of varying cultural backgrounds, etc., the way they prize gender, racial, and sexual orientation differences in their midst.
 
Go after the former military member to write for you. Go after the kid who graduated from the University of Iowa or Oral Roberts University, etc...

I read the whole "Coop's orientation revealed" article waiting for the part where he comes out of the closet.  
 
That Cooper and all (but one) of his CNN buddies are liberals is hardly a revelation- but for coop to reveal his "orientation", that would be news. CNN could have their own Maddow!

The video clip just added is kind of routine but things start to get heated about half-way thru, and it doesn't end on a very happy note.

That photo of Julie Banderas is just so perfect (I bet that she looks exactly like that when she first wakes up in the AM). It should be part of the J$P logo.

John 'Rambo" Kerry is getting his butt kicked on Oreilly. I think that he is just a little bitter.

Not-So-Sexy List
I can't take any list of sexy news women seriously if it doesn't include Liz Cho or Kiran Chetry, especially with some of the fuglies that were on that list.
