Does Douchbag not know that the main stream medial only covers major news stories and unlike Fox News has no agenda.

Why do republicans think only republications invest..........it's a mystery to me. Or perhaps they feel that ALL investors are motivated by self interest, above all?

Another comedy show in the making. Anisha could play Paul Winchell to Patrick's Jerry Mahoney.

Fox was the only network to take today’s WH briefing live. Both CNN and MSNBC remained in tape.

"Huckabee" and "Fox News Watch" addressed the mocking of the Tea Party protesters--or "teab***ing [Ding!]," as I've called it-- on their shows tonight.

Will Jon Stewart issue a correction and an apology?
 
I don't watch him so I don't have any basis for a prediction.

Cody Willard used the word 'fascist' over and over again. If you're OK with that, don't show a bunch of outrage when Olbermann does it. It's incendiary language no matter who's favorite cable news channel says it.

Tinkering.  
I aloso glad tio see Brian Wilson back.
Cody Willard is nothing more than a follower. Fox better keep a short leash on him.

Am I crazy, or did the diversity story from the AP actually reference a "study" by Media Matters?
 
Now, the numbers show FNS ahead of the pack, which is odd for a MM "study," but even so... could the AP actually be suggesting (without saying it outright) that MM is legitimate? Is this their way of sneaking the name "Media Matters" into the common vernacular, so that next time they reference them, they won't feel obligated to disclose their agenda?
 
Hmmm.

"according to figures compiled for The Associated Press by Media Matters for America."
 
Sounds like mm is on the ap's payroll. Scary if true.
