Here is some of the stuff from Arianna Huffington's new book, Right is Wrong, that NBC's Tim Russert has worked himself into a lather over and doesn't want you to read.
Arianna Huffington | Posted 04.30.2008 | Media
The near-complete blackout on the Pentagon propaganda story, self-imposed by the culpable news organizations, is a despicable abdication of their role as a constitutionally protected check on our government. Read More Probing a Political Paradox: Why the Discredited Right Still Sets the Agenda and Dominates the Debate How is it that the 28 percent of the population that continues to support George W. Bush no matter how many bodies pile up in Iraq, how many jobs disappear overseas, or how high gas prices get, continues to dominate our politics?

If Russert truly thinks his show hasn't become an outlet for Bush administration figures to push their message uncontested, then shouldn't he bring Arianna on and challenge her assertions?

I sometimes wonder whether the custodians of commentary realize how little they move the conventional wisdom when they deplore its inadequacies.

The superdelegates will go with whoever they perceive as a winner. Today it could be Clinton-- she's hung in there despite being badgered mercilessly to drop out.

Why did Russert ask David Axelrod about the Pledge of Allegiance on Meet the Press on Sunday?
Huffington Post | Rachel Sklar | Posted 04.14.2008 | Media
Is it important that Obama respect the average American, from big cities to small towns? Of course — but there is more to determining that than just one misbegotten turn of phrase. Like, say, how he bowls.

As an Obama supporter, I was proud to publish Mayhill Fowler's truthful report, though I recognize that it touched off an ordeal for the campaign, a media storm that isn't over and could hurt Obama's chances.

Tim Russert, host of Meet the Press, nailed Hillary Clinton over her repeated falsehoods regarding her 1996 trip to Bosnia. Clinton has said, on mult...

Shortly after Cheney issued his challenge, Clinton seemed to back off from her earlier claims of hunting experience, saying that she had "misspoke" about her hunting exploits as a child.

McCain is an embarrassment of contradictions: he pretends to be a proponent of political reform when in fact he chronically dips into the lobbyist cookie jar.

To hear Noonan, a former Reagan speechwriter, give the kind of response that you'd expect from, say, Donna Brazile, was a minor Easter miracle, a resurrection of rationality.

Powell pushed for war and put everyone on notice that he was acting in bad faith, with a reckless disregard for the truth. Let's not forget.

Where else on network television can a Democratic politician go to get the Three Stooges treatment, with Mr. Russert in Moe's role? It's a role that Carlson could easily reprise.
Kathleen Reardon | Posted 03.08.2008 | Politics
The Democratic Party wouldn't stand for its first potentially successful female presidential candidate being told to quit the race. Democrats want women to aim high and achieve their potential. Don't they?
Edward Ugel | Posted 03.07.2008 | Politics
My issue lies with both campaigns. All I see are folks who care more about winning than about being right or doing right by and for their party. The Democratic party is tearing itself apart from within.

We had 20 freaking debates, for God's sake, and we still haven't asked so many burning questions.

It's easy to see how McCain, who once stood firm against "agents of intolerance," is going to skate by this election cycle seeking the warm embrace of bigots.
Paul Jenkins | Posted 03.02.2008 | Politics
The media continue to portray Clinton as strongly viable, if not quite the frontrunner. This is a remarkable feat by her campaign, and a failure by journalists to accurately portray the state of the race.
