This isn’t a criticism of Steve Kroft, but has the CBS news veteran ever before left the confines of “60 Minutes” to go out on the cable news circuit with his interview subject (in this case our own Peter Schweizer)
Columbia Journalism “Professor of Professional Practice” Sree Sreenivasan, still smarting from an encounter with James O’Keefe, seems to have declared himself the ultimate arbiter of what is, or is not, citizen journalism: PEOPLE LIKE O’KEEFE THINK THEY ARE ACTING LIKE
There is a real class war going on in this country, and the Occupy Movement doesn’t seem to realize that they are on the wrong side of it. No, it’s not the wealth-hating, broad brush 99% vs. 1% class war
How long has Baghdad Bob been writing at Politico? [youtube CXl1GkWWGmA nolink]
Yesterday, I wondered how Nancy Pelosi and her husband were able to participate in Visa’s IPO in March 2008. It is very difficult for an individual investor to participate in IPOs, especially those which are heavily ‘oversubscribed’ as Visa’s was.
Sunday night, CBS aired an edition of “60 Minutes” that took a rare look at corruption in Washington on both sides of the aisle. It even took a book by a conservative journalist and Big Peace editor, Peter Schweizer’s Throw
Below is a truly astonishing piece of C-Span video with Politico reporter Jonathan Allen: —– Now watch this “60 Minutes” report and tell me there’s not a story worth pursuing here. Obviously, Jonathan Allen isn’t at all interested in how
—– NBC and MSNBC (and MSNBC’s new live-in lovers Politico) might be ignoring the story along with much of mainstream media, but CNBC is not only doing a good job of covering what our colleague Peter Schweizer uncovered in his

Last night, 60 Minutes aired its report on possible insider trading by Members of Congress. A principal focus of the report was House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and her participation in an IPO of Visa, one of the hottest IPOs
In response to this evening’s groundbreaking report on 60 Minutes, which targeted both Republicans and Democrats for insider trading in Congress, Politico has circled the wagons around Washington’s political elite. The CBS story was based on original research by Hoover
I’m baffled by stupid Republicans (sorry to be redundant). Some GOPers have agreed to put taxes on the table. Not surprisingly, Democrats are praising them for this preemptive surrender, patting these Republicans on the head for being good little lapdogs.
Social liberals are extremely frustrated that the “worker’s paradise” that seemed so near three years ago, is fast slipping away due to voter rejection. With the huge borrowing and spending stimulus failing to revitalize the economy, social liberals took to
Now that we’re learning something about Cain’s accusers and how the National Restaurant Association settlements agreements were handled, Politico’s unwillingness to give us specific details in that mega-story of theirs is starting to make some sense, at least to me.
It is splendid how Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom of Speech” is not only a double-edged sword but a spear-studded cannonball for world freedom as well. The Politico-inspired loud-mouthing about Herman Cain’s apparent indiscretion – or perhaps his avuncular bonhomie toward a
This screen shot was taken just a few minutes ago, and what’s revealing is that a mainstream media outlet that poses as non-partisan would find the “possibility” of two Cain accusers holding a joint press conference a bigger piece of
(Note: RealClearPolitics has since updated the post in question.) In defending the media against conservative charges of bias in the Herman Cain scandal, Carl Cannon, Washington editor of RealClearPolitics, claims today that Andrew Breitbart did the same thing to Anthony
My impression of Herman Cain’s press conference today, which he called to address mounting allegations of past sexual harassment, is that Cain succeeded in conveying the impression that in his own mind at least, he is telling the truth. That
Unnamed sources, vague allegations, and innuendo amount to nothing more than a media hit. Politico‘s attack on Herman Cain a week ago stunk, and it stinks today just as badly. Sharon Bialek, however, is a different story. The 50 year-old
Howard Kurtz to Politico’s Jonathan Martin: You had to make a go or no-go decision. I think that at a lot of news organizations an editor would’ve said, ‘You have done some terrific reporting here, you’ve got some great leads
In February, when the Democratic National Committee chose Charlotte, North Carolina as the host city for its September 2012 convention, it left the door wide open for the Charlotte-area’s union-free workforce to be discriminated against in favor union workers. Although
Apparently, because Herman Cain spoke to the media (unlike President Bill Clinton) he is responsible for the media’s over-blown reaction to the stories that still have no specific details and no named accusers.
Examiner: How much is too much? Politico broke the Cain sexual harassment story last Sunday night, launching organization wide coverage filling up a full week of heavy coverage on their scoop. Since the scandal broke, the political reporting juggernaut has
Sports reporters endure a litany of canned quotes from modern athletes: “We’re just taking it one game at a time.” “It’s a team sport,” “There’s no ‘I’ in team.” A similar script kicks in when actors are asked their thoughts
The latest mainstream media narrative designed to push a Republican candidate out of the presidential race is the idea that Texas governor Rick Perry was somehow drunk or incoherent when he gave a stirring speech in New Hampshire a week
