Brilliant.
Great editorial cartoon, or the greatest editorial cartoon ever?
(via shortformblog)
“
A new study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism finds that health care was a “much bigger topic” for liberal hosts like Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz than for conservative hosts like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity.
In a report to be released on Monday, the organization said it found that the liberal hosts spent 44 percent of their airtime talking about health care from June 2009 to March 2010, while conservative hosts spent 26 percent of their airtime on the subject.
”Health Bill Was a Focus for Liberal Talk Show Hosts

Many of the grievances (in the Politico article) are petty, though some are serious and substantive (involving lack of transparency and media manipulation), but the passage that I found most revealing is this one:
Much of the criticism is off the record, both out of fear of retaliation and from worry about appearing whiny. But those views were voiced by a cross section of the television, newspaper and magazine journalists who cover the White House.
Just think about that for a minute. National political reporters are furious over various White House practices involving transparency and information control, but are unwilling to say so for attribution due to fear of “retaliation,” instead insisting on hiding behind a wall of anonymity (which Politico, needless to say, happily provides). Isn’t that a rather serious problem: that the White House press corps is afraid to criticize the President and the White House for fear of losing access and suffering other forms of retribution? What does that say about their “journalism”? It’s the flip side of those White House reporters who need the good graces of Obama aides for their behind-the-scenes books and thus desperately do their bidding: what kind of reporter covering the White House would possibly admit that they’re afraid to say anything with their names attached that might anger the President and his aides? How could you possibly be a minimally credible White House reporter if you have that fear? Doesn’t that unwillingness rather obviously render their reporting worthless?”

Top Fox News programs devote scant coverage to Haiti earthquake
The O’Reilly Factor, Hannity, and Glenn Beck, Fox News’ three top-rated programs for 2009, combined to devote a total of 6 minutes, 41 seconds of coverage to the earthquake in Haiti. Among the things they chose to air instead were Beck’s interview with Palin — to which he devoted nearly his entire show — Hannity’s continued advocacy for Brown; and O’Reilly’s discussion of Stewart. Countdown, The Rachel Maddow Show, and Hardball, MSNBC’s three top-rated shows, devoted 2 hours, 2 minutes and 33 seconds to the earthquake — more than 18 times the coverage devoted by Fox News’ top three shows. Other Fox News shows — such as Special Report with Bret Baier and The Fox Report with Shepard Smith — did devote extensive coverage to the earthquake.
“If we were to gauge the most important policy issue facing the U.S. today based on what’s on TV, then we’d have to say it’s the state of Tiger Woods’ marriage.”
“Her apparently unanticipated public humiliation on the nationally televised program in question was a substantial contributing cause of her suicide,”
Breaking: Fall Of Berlin Wall More Significant Than Pearl Harbor
oh yeah, thats because cable news doesn’t have all that self serving, “Look at me I am here covering it footage.”
Jon Stewart skewered the media for it’s Berlin Wall anniversary coverage last month. watch here.
Fox News Chooses Beck Coverage Over Pres. Obama
While MSNBC interrupted its taped programming to air Pres. Obama’s healthcare reform speech in Minneapolis, FNC’s Glenn Beck was in on a Saturday, on this 9/12/09, hosting a live, two-hour “9 Principles, 12 Values” special. FNC chose to air the Beck program instead of the president’s speech with news anchor Patti Ann Browne doing short news updates summarizing what Obama had been saying. CNN also carried Obama live.
“We carried President Obama’s entire address to Congress on Wednesday, as well as his full speech to nurses on Friday and while there are programming shifts today, we still have as many news hours in place this weekend as we do every other weekend. If there’s breaking news today, we intend to cut into whatever programming is happening at the time and cover it as we always do.” - FNC SVP of News Michael Clemente

The Blogosphere’s Moment
“So all day long, I’m glued to your blog, Juan Cole’s blog, Josh Marshall’s blog, and a couple others reading as much as I can about the (stolen) Iranian election.
I turned on CNN, and they were going three rounds about some idiot Republican operative in South Carolina who called Michelle Obama an ape. Nothing on Iran.
MSNBC was in the middle of one of its hour-long crime documentaries.
FNC was showing a pre-taped piece on Bernie Madoff.
And I realize that it’s the weekend and they usually take the weekend off, but over at NRO, the only thing they’ve managed to post about Iran today is a link to Daniel Pipes’ piece cheering on an Ahmadinejad victory because otherwise his dream of a massive Israeli air assault would be dashed. That’s it…a staff of 10+ regular bloggers, and all they can come up with in the midst of an Iranian revolution is a single piece cheering for the status quo?
Thank God that you, Juan, and Josh are on the story.”
