“For the record: there are other “Fox moles.” We just call them “sources.”
“How long ago did you leave MSNBC to go to the Current TV show?” Letterman asked. “It’s over a year, right?”
“I don’t know,” Olbermann said. “I have to consult my notes because after a certain point, I can’t keep track of where I’m working. I don’t have any idea.”
Letterman then proceeded to give Olbermann an “adjustable business card.”
“CNN’s Don Lemon was interviewing commentator-about-town Goldie Taylor about the social faultlines this case [Trayvon Martin] has exposed, and casually said, as an aside, “please don’t send me any more tweets that by having this conversation, I’m a racist.”
After a commercial break, Lemon revealed that someone on Twitter had responded by saying “Don Lemon, you are a racist. You are fixated on this one issue over and over. We want to hear the news, not your personal agenda. Go work for BET.”
Mr. Lemon added, “That was the nice one. He didn’t call me the n-word.”

Bill O’Reilly lackey Jesse Watters: “Is Obama is doing a good job?”
George Clooney: “Yes, he is. He’s the president of the United States. He’s not Obama. He’s the president of the United States.”
“Lawrence O’Donnell will soon have another cancelled show to go along with his three cancelled TV series, “Mister Sterling”, “The Kill Point” and “First Monday”. @lawrence is a poor man’s Ed Schultz (who replaced @Lawrence) and Al Sharpton. He was moved to 10PM due to bad ratings and taken off Friday due to being totally irrelevant. He desperately needs to keep making up false statements about me to get attention. Without clips of me, his show would be completely dead and he knows it. As I have said many times before @Lawrence is the dumbest man on television. He is only angry because I would never have wasted my time doing his completely irrelevant show.”

CNN suspends Martin; not Loesch, Erickson - Politico
With its decision to suspend political contributor Roland Martin today for controversial statements he made on Twitter, CNN seems to have suggested that controversial comments made recently by other contributors — namely Dana Loesch and Erick Erickson — do not warrant the same punishment. On her radio show, Loesch championed U.S. Marines for urinating on dead Taliban soldiers and said that she would “drop trou” and do it too. On his radio show, Erickson championed the tasing of an Occupy D.C. protestor and said, “watching a hippie protester get tased just makes my day.” On Twitter, Martin seemed to champion violence against gay men, writing, ”If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham’s H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl.” (Click above link for more)
