I’ve been a little bemused lately at the uproar (yes Jill, I’m calling you out on this:
“I’m not much into name-calling, but I gotta tell you - the way the Republican candidates are freaking out over the CNN/YouTube debates - criminal and immature at the same time. You want people to vote for you, but […]

I was happy to see that Bill Moyers had a piece on the PBS front page which involved Victor Gold and the state of the Republican party.  We recently reviewed Gold’s book (Invasion of the Party Snatchers) on this page and it remains a high volume traffic recipient.
Even though I believe that Moyers provides a very […]

I happened to be watching Morning Joe the other day when Mika Brzezinski refused to read the Paris Hilton story for the news segment of the show.  What’s now transpired into this week’s viral video seemed fairly contrived to me during the broadcast and now that it’s bouncing around the internet at high speed, I […]

This is not intended to come across as a slight - I am being very serious here…
I did not know ANYTHING about last night’s forum for Democratic presidential candidates at Howard University broadcast on PBS. The first I learned of it was this morning with a story on the second page in the first […]

This morning as I was wandering to the kitchen for my 4th (or was it 5th?) cup of coffee I happened to catch former Virginia governor and current GOP presidential candidate Jim Gilmore on msNBC’s “Morning Joe” (the temporary Full Time replacement for Imus).
Pinch hitting for host Joe Scarborough was newsreader Mika Brezinski (the daughter […]

As the recent tragedy that befell a pregnant Ohio woman and her unborn child occupies the airwaves both locally and nationally, I’ve found myself fascinated by the terminology used by the different news outlets to describe the crimes committed and upon whom they were perpetrated.
Let me preface this by telling anybody who’s reading this (and unaware) […]

Channel 19 finally announced something that’s been in the works for a while - former Brookpark mayor Tom Coyne will be joining their broadcast team as a political analyst.  Tom’s had his share of scrapes over the last few years, but he’s been on the straight and narrow since his much publicized bout with addiction […]
