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.

Democrats Raising Their ‘Ugly Heads’
CBS News White House beat reporter Chip Reid lets loose:
Before we go all ‘Chip-Reidi-is-a-Republican-so-much-for-the-Liberal-Media’ let’s remember that Reid once served as an adviser and general council for Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. But still, he’s going to hear about this from the boss.

Some nutjob is fuming about CBS’ new ‘communications’ hire:
Today, I learned that CBS News named Jeff Ballabon, a New York Republican activist, to serve as the Senior Vice President of Communications.
What is CBS thinking? This guy is very far out there with his partisan rhetoric.
How dare CBS News hire someone who isn’t a card-carrying Obama fan. Reading this fool’s rant at the Huffington Post may make you…
