As the father of a young child, I am often dismayed at what passes for family entertainment these days, at least insofar as the mass media is concerned. Finding television shows that are not laced with violence, gratuitous sexual innuendo, foul language or rude behavior is almost impossible. Listening to ...

There's plenty of buzz about Sunday's Chris Wallace/Bill Clinton interview on Fox News. No one can dispute that it made for interesting television and pumped up Fox's ratings, but beyond that, it's debatable whether it accomplished much else.
For liberals, it was a much deserved smackdown by a man who's been ...

Weekends are a strange time in the news business. The places that make news are on break and the people who consume news are out doing something more useful - like screaming at soccer coaches or engaging in road rage incidents. It's the time when newsmakers like to float hopeful ...

Despite reputed claims in the soon-to-be aired ABC docudrama "The Path to 9-11," America's problems in the Middle East didn't begin with the Clinton Administration or the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993.

This little bit just arrived in my digital mailbox. It's worth noting that the GOP propaganda machine is in full swing. The question is whether or not thinking Americans will fall for it.
Does a major national broadcast network want to stain itself by presenting an irresponsible, slanderous, fraudulent, "docu-drama" to ...

With the possible exception of lawyers and politicians, some of the most distrusted and disliked people in this country are journalists. The right hates them because they "never report the good news" and the left hates them because they "didn't ask the tough questions". Meanwhile, assaults on press freedoms are ...

Geroge is in the brush and it's time for the annual "No News is Good New" routine from the Crawford press room.
I suppose it's good to know what the Leader of the Free World is doing while on vacation, but couldn't they come up with something a little sexier?

A few days ago, I wrote a short post about a news clip of US soldiers crushing an Iraqi taxi with a tank in retaliation for looting some wood. To be honest, I figured the comments - if there were any at all - would be of the "that damned ...
