It is well known that traditional media sources are in trouble, largely due to the rise of the internet and what that is doing to their business model. You might think that the media would at least try to understand their biggest competitor. But you would be wrong, as evidenced by this recent epic fail […]
Despite their claim to be “fair and balanced”, hardly anyone is surprised at the stupid antics pulled by the Fox News Channel anymore. Nevertheless, some people complained when FNC started actively promoting anti-Obama “tea party” protests across the country, even inviting their viewers to participate in “FNC Tax Day Tea Parties” featuring their top stars: […]
Movie critic Roger Ebert has a terrific column where he responds to Bill O’Reilly putting the Chicago Sun-Times in his “Hall of Shame”, and cuts him a new one. You really do need to read the whole thing, but here’s the last few sentences: Bill, I am concerned that you have been losing touch with […]
On April 1, Car and Driver magazine ran a joke story claiming Obama had ordered GM and Chrysler to stop participating in NASCAR. It was pretty funny, and I’d link to it except that they already took the story down. But apparently Ann Coulter got fooled, writing: If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that […]

CNBC turns hypocrisy into a fine art, and Jon Stewart is on a roll: Wasn’t it only a few weeks ago that comedians were worried that with Bush gone, they would not have enough material? UPDATE: Jon Stewart appeared on Letterman Thursday night, and continued his criticisms of the cable financial news channels: The thing […]
I had to think twice about posting this article, because my posting this is itself ironic (isn’t it my job to be making fun of other people’s irony and hypocrisy?). But here goes anyway. It has long bothered me that the mainstream media often gives a platform to people who really don’t deserve one, because […]
