On May 3, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric had a brief interview with Mayor Mike Bloomberg in the “situation room.” In that interview, CBS so sliced up the cuts that it is impossible to tell whether or not Couric

In a new article, Marc Ambinder, politics editor of The Atlantic, asks: Have Conservatives Gone Mad? He says yes. Serious thinkers on the right have finally gotten around to a full and open debate on the epistemic closure problem that’s

Well, looky here: it’s everybody’s favorite clueless MSNBC anchor babe, Contessa Brewer, the pride of Syracuse University, dealing with one of the contentious issues of the day with her usual winning combination of invincible ignorance and aggressive emotionalism. Does this
