As a result of this morning’s post condemning an outrageous post from Wonkette in which blogger Jack Stueff mocks Trig Palin over his Down Syndrome and suggests that Todd Palin slept with his daughter, outrage spread across Twitter and now

The Wonkette brand of Myspace satire strikes again. Calling him the “greatest prop in history,” Wonkette proceeds to make fun of the little boy on his birthday because that’s what good writers who know about politics do. They consider this

Wonkette, the website that popularized and repackaged JV-grade sarcasm as “snark” published a piece wherein the author crosses his fingers for violence when Sarah Palin speaks in Madison on Saturday. I’m consistently amazed at how progressives, who profess such an

On the heels of Katie Couric’s departure from CBS, an odd poll: Following media reports that she plans to leave her post as anchor of the CBS Evening News in June, Katie Couric will exit with virtually the same favorable

I won’t yet go as far as my friend Jim Hoft and holler “Oh Snap!” but whoa, the schadenfreude. Media Matters went ballistic when they thought lefty JoAnne Kloppenburg was leading: Right-wing media reacted to news that Democrat–backed JoAnne Kloppenburg

NY Daily News: Matt Lauer will follow Meredith Vieira out the door at NBC‘s “Today” show. But not for a while, according to “Entertainment Tonight,” which reported the veteran show host had told his NBC bosses he’ll leave when his

Couric discusses her regrets: Outgoing “CBS Evening News” anchor Katie Couric says America wasn’t ready for the “overly ambitious” change she brought nearly five years ago as the first woman to helm a nightly network newscast. “In retrospect I would

I was wondering what had happened to the left’s über sensitivity to words following the Tucson tragedy. After raising such hysterics to increase threats to Sarah Palin and gift Trent Humphries a death threat on national television, the left got

At least, it says as much in the headline: Eleven people-including several officials of the United Nations-were killed in Afghanistan today, and ABC News is reporting the killings may have been motivated by the burning of a Koran by Florida

While we at Big Journalism spend most of our energy correcting bias and falsehoods originating from the left, every now and then we must take a moment to gently correct things that go off track with our friends on the

The takeway from this is Vivian Schiller’s remarks that she’ll be back — ”I’m not done. I certainly plan to stay in journalism. I feel too passionate about it, and so yes, I will be back in some position at

Robert Borosage takes heavy poetic license with both history and reality in the posting of an ad hominem attack on those who dare to identify Van Jones by the words and actions with which he identifies himself. Contrast that to

From Palin’s Facebook page: Lamestream Media: Reload or White Flag? Let’s keep pivoting around media bias, and not get distracted with the vulgar personal shots. Call out lies and set the record straight, but always keep the ball moving. No

I feel a little let down and a bit sorry for Keith Olbermann. How does one maintain a healthy ego going from the glitz of an MSNBC set to the window corner of a poorly-lit cubicle with a vanity featuring
