Since when did Barack Obama become the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland? When it comes to dealing with pesky reporters asking tough questions we see an emerging pattern–No Questioner Goes Unpunished. Barack might as well be screaming, “off with their heads.”
Notice anything missing in the list of moderators chosen for the upcoming […]

I’ll be hosting DCMediagirl’s Hour of Power tonight at 10:30 pm ET/7:30 pm PT. Advisory to follow. In the meantime, prepare by reading up on Bob Herbert’s bizzaro phallic obsession (take a look a few postings down) and this little doozy by Maureen Dowd, who outdoes herself yet again. As an English Literature […]

1) Just one more thing about the Obama / Britney ad kerfluffle. Terribly smart people have been yelling about ways in which the ad was racist, in bad taste, or reflective of celebrity culture wrongly applied to a “promising leader — full of wisdom, charisma, and vulnerable humanity.”
Those arguments have been done to death […]

It began this morning when I received a link to this New Republic story, “End of the Affair.” There’s so much in this article, but take note of this paragraph. What does he have to hide?
Reporters who have covered Obama’s biography or his problems with certain voter blocs have been challenged the most […]

Today’s youth are witnessing history unfold before their eyes. This historical event will not be documented in textbooks or logged in our country’s archives. Yes, we are in a big election year, one which thus far, is unlike no other I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. However, the history in […]

Let me start off by saying that I have never been a fan of the DailyKos. Something about that site always made me uneasy and I have rarely frequented it. My intuition was confirmed this past January when the DailyKos started advocating that Democrats in the state of Michigan cross over into the Republican primary […]

“…Barack Obama made the first mistake of his trip, in my judgment, in releasing a statement in which he said exactly what Maliki had said in those conversations. We have a long tradition in this country that we only have one president at a time. He’s the commander in chief and the negotiator in chief. […]

If you read today’s New York Times press release article, “For Obama, a First Step Is Not a Misstep,” you’d assume the two reporters were witnesses to Obama’s meetings in Iraq. However, if you check out the gripes from reporters in Politico’s 24/7 Playbook, you’d find out that reporters didn’t accompany Obama and that […]

From The Guardian’s “New Yorker’s plane snub over Obama ‘terrorist’ cartoon“:
The [New Yorker] article’s author, Ryan Lizza, would have expected to secure one of the 40 press places on Obama’s tour this week but was told no space was available.
Writing on the Huffington Post, media blogger Rachel Sklar said: “So it’s gonna be like that, […]
