Thursday Roundup

– Obama implores black American media members: Carry my water for me:

President Obama spoke to a White House forum, titled “Open for Questions with InteractiveOne,” which featured various administration officials discussing how the administration’s polices have affected and will affect the black community, taking questions from NewsOne.com and its sister sites in the InteractiveOne network, TheGrio.com, TheUrbanDaily.com, HelloBeautiful.com, and BlackPlanet.com.

The new ATTACKWAAAAATCH poster.

– Whoa. The Chicago Tribune refuses to run Doonesbury this week because it’s unfair to Sarah Palin. Kudos to the Tribune:

This week we are not publishing “Doonesbury” comic strips because they do not meet our standards of fairness. We are substituting another strip instead.

The “Doonesbury” strips refer to allegations purportedly contained in an as-yet-unreleased book about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. The book is not yet available for verification or review by the Chicago Tribune.

To be sure, “Doonesbury” is a satirical cartoon, but the remarks are serious enough that we cannot publish the strip without more information, context and a response from Palin.

Bad blunder: Google accidentally lists the Word Trade Center as a flight destination on its new Flight Search service.

Palin “pleased” with CNN/tea party debate.
