Jed compiled some of Rachel Maddow's best lines from her appearance on yesterday's Meet the Press. In just one minute and forty-six seconds, she imparted more wisdom and knowledge that David Gregory and George Stephanopoulos can muster in year -- and more than everyone on FOX has since the network went on the air.
To understand how Keith Olbermann concocts his ritual character assassinations of people on his enemies list, one must appreciate the modus operandi involved. More often than not, Olby spots an attack in a blue blog, preferably a Fox hating one, lifts it without checking, contorts the content even further to suit his own agenda, and then for a big finish tosses in a healthy dose of name calling, ridicule,...

by Mark Silva In the cause of a certain book's promotion, it appears, a waiver is being granted in the White House's war with FOX News. That book is Obama campaign manager David Plouffe's The Audacity to Win . President Barack Obama, whose election campaign is chronicled in Plouffe's book , has cut FOX out of his own recent network news appearances, with White House aides dismissing FOX as an arm...

CBS' "Face the Nation" with Bob Schieffer showed well in demo, tying Steph for the second place spot. Total Viewers NBC "MEET THE PRESS" 2,720,000 ABC "THIS WEEK"...
I marvel sometimes at the versatility of the crack bias hunters over at NewsBusters. Even though they've spent the better portions of their careers failing to make sense and embarrassing themselves , they still manage to come up with new and inventive ways to look completely foolish. Take, for example, Brent Baker's latest complaint that ABC World News anchor Charles Gibson "had time to convey...

Williams was scheduled to do the Q&A with Leno from Afghanistan where he anchored "Nightly News" last night. "Because...

And, here I thought no one could be this stupid . Alas. David Gregory sucks, but then so does pretty much every other Sunday morning show nowadays. Making Rachel Maddow the host of MtP is not the solution. Turning NBC news into MSNBC "news" is not a fix. Gregory is a great reporter, but he's not a great interviewer. Maddow is entertaining (to some people) but she is not respectable. The answer...
