FOX/CNN/MSNBC DISSECTED
Some great analysis of the current cable media landscape from CJR today. I disagree with a few points (especially the bit about MSNBC offering a rainbow of opinons) but this quote is interesting:
From personal experience covering news around the world, you almost always run into a CNN crew or stringer. You almost never run into a Fox reporter, and never one from MSNBC.
Read the whole thing at CJR’s website.

Sunday Show Roundup: Emanuel, Summers and More
If you’re a political freak who had one-too-many cocktails last night (perhaps you were watching the Blackhawks game?), leading you to sleep in and miss the Sunday talk show bonaza, I’ve got a roundup for you.

A Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy?
Probably not, but the ‘get-our-message-in-line‘ campaign organization by the left passed the creepy peg a few rotations ago. Does Media Matters have this much power?
The vast new left-wing conspiracy sets its tone every morning at 8:45 a.m., when officials from more than 20 labor, environmental and other Democratic-leaning groups dial into a private conference call hosted by two left-leaning Washington organizations.
The “8:45 A.M. call,” as it’s referred to by members,

Rahm Emanuel Is Going Nuts
Emanuel appeared “beet-red,” according to an ABC News cameraman who was invited inside by Emmanuel to use his bathroom this morning.
“I’m getting regular death threats. You’ve put my home address on national television. I’m pissed at the networks. You’ve intruded too much, ” Emanuel said, according to the cameraman.
Is it because he has something to hide in the Blagojevich case?

Palin’s ABC Interview: Round Two
Sarah Palin on Hillary Clinton:
GIBSON: I saw you quoted somewhere as speaking rather admiringly of Mrs. Clinton, Senator Clinton, during the primary campaign. Do you think Obama should’ve picked her?

GIBSON: Governor, let me start by asking you a question that I asked John McCain about you, and it is really the central question.
