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.

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]

Sarah Palin To Resign As Governor Of Alaska
The official press release is here… but you want find what you’re looking for if you read it. I couldn’t get a sense of what her goals may be from her hastily arranged press conference either. She wandered out into her backyard and delivered a short statement, taking no questions afterward, in the media blackhole that is the 4th of July weekend. Also, she leaked some information earlier in the day that…

Palin’s Got A Gun – The NRA Honors Sarah Palin With A Custom Rifle
The NRA is sending Sarah Palin a custom gun. Not just any gun, mind you, a custom M-4 rifle — the very type of assault weapon that many Congressional Democrats would like to pry from her (presumably) cold, dead hands. The M-4 is essentially the civilian version of the weapon troops in Afghanistan and Iraq are carrying right this very second. The only thing Palin could possibly do to anger the anti-gun…

UNEAU, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin must pay back taxes on nearly $18,000 in expenses she charged the state for living in her home outside Anchorage instead of at the state capital, officials said Wednesday.
A review of state policy and Internal Revenue Service tax laws determined the per diem payments should be treated as income, Department of Administration Commissioner Annette Kreitzer
