ROBERT FEDER’S GIMMICK
It’s a subject I’ve left mostly alone, not because I’ve been told not to address it but because I’m hesitant to give airtime or blog space to a man who still calls Web traffic ‘hits‘ and has an unhealthy obsession with WGN Radio. Tonight, on the podcast, I’ll dive into the mud on this one. Stay tuned.

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.

THE BLOOM BOX
I can’t decide if the Bloom Box is the greatest invention ever or if I’m a bit like an old lady being conned by a slimy auto mechanic. Regardless, you have to watch this video. [Video]

FOX NEWS MEMO
Memo to employees says ‘keep screwing up those on-screen graphics and you’ll find yourself in the unemployment line, sucka.’ Not quite a word-for-word transcription but read the note and you’ll get the point.
The real question here is being ignored. I can see how the ‘news anchors’ throughout the day have to be reliant on staffers to do their show-prep and get the facts right. But the opinion hosts should have a…

Tucker Carlson Joins Fox News As Commentator
Tucker Carlson leaves MSNBC with one less Republican commentator. The once bow-tied host heads to Fox News for a shiny new contributor gig. He’s been a bit off the radar as of late, surfacing to pen a few lines for The Daily Beast here and there.
Joining Carlson will be former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino.
I’ve always liked Carlson. He’s not afraid to push the Libertarian line and hang out…

Fox Not Airing Obama Prime-Time Address
I’ve never watched the Fox show ‘Lie To Me’ but the network has just chose the drama over Obama. The President is set to address the nation in yet another prime-time address this week. The reason: Obama wants to give himself a report card to mark his first 100 days in the White House. This will be the President’s third prime-time address in only 100 days. Before you starting screaming ‘partisan network’…

Part 2: Cheney Slams Obama Again: Ex-VP Talks To Sean Hannity
I posted part one last night so I’m kind of obliged to post part two. Dick Cheney continues to chat with Fox News host Sean Hannity about all-things Obama, the overseas contingency operations (formerly known as the War on Terror) and tons of other subjects sure to make those folks on the left side of the isle quiver until they vomit on their Dockers.
Newsworthy Moment: Cheney calls the Tea Party Movement ‘great’.…

Cheney Slams Obama Again: Ex-VP Talks To Sean Hannity
Boy, if you thought Cheney was angry when he was in office, you’re probably exploding right now. How could PBS possibly top ‘The Dark Side of Cheney’? Well, they might just save some footage from the next few months. While President Bush is resting easy at his new house in Texas, Dick Cheney is on a full-court media press defending the ex-president while attacking the man currently holding the office, Barack Obama. At…

NYT Profiles Rising Star Glenn Beck
It’s not as if he needed a write-up in the NYT to assure him of his success, Glenn Beck’s Fox News show has been a runaway hit with viewers — and that’s what counts. Still, it’s an interesting read because Beck is really striking a chord with listeners and viewers these days. Can he keep it up for the next 3 1/2 years or so? Only time will tell…

Fox News’ Twitter Account Hacked!
Breaking: Bill O Riley is gay
Whoever hacked into Fox News’ official Twitter account a few minutes ago didn’t waste time spell checking. Bill O’Reilly’s name is spelled incorrectly. My guess is this doesn’t last too long so check it out while you have a chance. Unless, of course, Bill O’Reilly changed his last name and came out of the closet this morning. Now THAT would be a big story…
Update:…

Fox’s Shepard Smith Goes Rogue
From the Fox News online show The Strategy Room… What media bias?
I don’t watch Fox News all that much (I tend to stick to CNN unless Rick Sanchez is on) but I used to tune in to Shepard Smith’s ‘Studio B’ from time to time. Mostly because he tends to screw up a lot and say things that will eventually end up on YouTube. But for the past six months or…
