Palin & Karzai trading tips on voter fraud Despite her massive unpopularity-- and status, to non-teabaggers, as a rather embarrassing and borderline outré vaudeville act-- Sarah Palin's proclamation that Obama is wrong on Afghanistan won't make it any easier for him to be perceived as being correct. Most Americans say the war isn't worth fighting -- and they're correct. A huckster and a...

In a guest column at InTheLobby , Richard A. Lee, Communication Director of the Hall Institute of Public Policy-NJ and a former journalist, argues that songwriters of the sixties were the alternative media of the day. They were raising issues and questions ahead of the mainstream media much like bloggers do today. "Forty years ago this week, Seymour Hersh broke the story of the My Lai massacre,...

A New York magazine profile of Andrew Ross Sorkin exposes more resentment among co-workers at the New York Times over his uncommon access to Wall Street's power brokers. Writes Gabriel Sherman, As Sorkin’s career has burgeoned, he’s developed another audience of close readers: his colleagues, who comb the column for evidence of favor-trading.

Osama Bin Laden As Responsible For The 9/11 Attacks: Is This Belief Based On Evidence? By David Ray Griffin Posted on October 30, 2009 Courtesy Of Veterans Today The idea that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks has been an article of faith for public officials and the mainstream media.

The surest sign that another neocon bill of goods is being hawked in respect of the Iran "nuclear peril" is the revival of Rumsfeld-esque "unknowable unknowns", a la Iraq WMD panic circa late 2002. In the real world, of course, solid progress is being made towards a plausible diplomatic deal to strengthen safeguards against Iran weaponizing the nuclear material it is producing....

Former Washington Post Ombudsman Michael Getler, writing in Democracy: A Journal of Ideas : The [New York] Times actually published some stories, most notably a piece by Michael Gordon and Judith Miller on September 8, 2002, that wound up contributing to what turned out to be the administration's bogus case for war. The [Washington] Post was much less guilty of that particular sin, but it displayed...

I live in the Bay Area, a place that has been, in the past 20 or so years, woefully underserved by what those in the quality news business call, well, quality news. I also am a graduate of a fine Bay area quality new journalism program, and I taught there as well.
