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.

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]

Bill Ayers: McCain Is The Terrorist
No surprises here. The man the media wanted to ignore…
Freep.com: How about of right and wrong?
Ayers: No, I don’t think we were wrong. But there could be some situations in which you could kind of map this out and think about the rightness and wrongness of it. For example, if you had the opportunity to interview John McCain, would this be at the front of the interview?

Revealed: The Unaired Rev. Wright Ad
ABCs Brian Ross obtained an unused campaign commercial from an unnamed member of John McCains campaign. The ad uses Rev. Wright, Barack Obamas former pastor, as a line of attack. During the campaign, McCain had said that attacks using Rev. Wright were off limits.
I’m confident it wouldn’t have stopped the Obama campaign’s momentum in the least.

John McCain’s Concession Speech
John McCain conceded defeat to Barack Obama in a speech of striking grace and generosity that called for all Americans to unite behind the new president-elect and paid rich tribute to his accomplishment of becoming the country’s first African American leader.
Great speech… Note Sarah Palin’s demeanor as she seems to be on the verge of tears.
A fitting end to a fairly noble campaign by an American hero, Senator John McCain.

14 Hours: Who Will Be Number 44?
At the end of October, Obama led by 47-44 percent among likely voters, and by 49-40 percent about ten days ago (Oct 20-21). The last time McCain led was immediately following the Republican Convention when he had a 45-42 percent edge (September 8-9 among registered voters).
Looking at the preferences among key groups, the most important has to be independents and Obama has a slim 43 percent-38 percent advantage. Obama has had
