MSM Tensions Erupt

Vox Verax (Free subscription) | 5 hours ago

posted by Eric Alterman on 08/27/2008 from The Nation I could go on for at least another piece, maybe two, about all the nonsense surrounding Hillary Hype '08--from Fox News's immediate, persistent commentary after the speech that she didn't mean it, didn't do nearly enough, and the whole party is screwed, to CBS News bringing on a body language expert to testify to the same. But let's just agree they're...

The M.S.M. -- all of a sudden, experience is a big deal

The COLOSSUS OF RHODEY (Free subscription) | yesterday

Beware the mainstream media: Now that John McCain has chosen Sarah Palin (it's pronounced "pah-lin," not "pay-lin," by the way) as his veep candidate, watch how the MSM will make a huge deal out of her "minimal" experience. This, even...

The New MSM Meme on Palin

Environmental Republican (Free subscription) | yesterday

Allah points us to the fact that CNN has taken the first stab at this meme: CNN’s John Roberts, after briefly alluding to the issue of Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s experience he called into question earlier on Friday’s "Newsroom" program, asked correspondent Dana Bash about how the Alaska governor’s newborn son with Down’s syndrome might be affected if she were elected: "

John Edwards Affair: MSM, Bob Schieffer and the Schieffer Standard

Death By 1000 Papercuts (Free subscription) | 08/27/2008

The "Schieffer Standard" Lethargy over John Edwards Scandal Returns to MSM In the John Edwards Scandal, CBS News' Bob Schieffer serves as the poster child for the ADHD Mainstream Media. After a spike in coverage--largely composed of stories about why the MSM didn't allow their customers news of the John Edwards affair, scandal and cover-up before John Edwards gave the Dinosaur Press his okay--the MSM...

2008 Democratic Convention Watch (Free subscription) | 08/28/2008

There is a little tidbit in Playbook today, about the site CBS has set up on the conventions. Now, we here at DCW know a little something about a convention site, and this quote from CBS publicist Daniel Lynn about says it all. Remember, like ingredients on a food package, biggest or "most important" first. (Emphasis mine) “CBS News has created a website specifically for the Democratic and Republican...

Even the MSM has to worry about free speech sometimes!

LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION (Free subscription) | 08/28/2008

These days you’d think perhaps — maybe from reading this blog — that free expression, commercial or otherwise, were solely an Internet issue, and the MSM is mostly on the other side of it, hiding behind some pretextual body of law or another. (And perhaps solely a suntan lotion issue!) But it’s not: DENVER–Police in Denver [...]

McCain Gets It Right; The MSM Is As Clueless As Obama About Iran

Wolf Howling (Free subscription) | 08/28/2008

A lot of people are up in arms over the latest McCain ad. Watch Obama in this video utterly minimize the threat posed to the U.S. by Iran. Now here is the latest McCain ad taking Obama to task over his inability to see that threat posed by Iran, and quoting his performance above. According to Jake Trapper at ABC's Political Punch , this "crosses a new line into dishonesty ." According to TPM, McCain...

MSM Coverage Of The Democratic Convention

Newscoma (Free subscription) | 08/28/2008

... same as what the Cable Newsers were doing. She’s 12. I expect that from her. I turned it back to MSM after the last speech because then, after the news was made, I did want to hear what the pundits were saying, but not while it’s going on. The arrogance of the news industry amazes me some times. Let the news happen. Thank goodness for the Internet because I went back to find the speeches I missed...

Elizabeth, Not John, Gets Ripped in the MSM

Blonde sagacity (Free subscription) | 08/27/2008

... Elizabeth Edwards...but in all fairness was an article like this EVER written about Hillary in the MSM?! She "was complicit" in how many affairs and at least one love child we've heard rumors of. Why does Hillary get a pass and dying Elizabeth a tongue lashing? ...I'll never understand left-wing politics. But, I guess that's a good thing.
