8 Reasons Fox Is Not a News Organization
Even before Barack Obama was elected to the presidency, Rupert Murdoch had declared war on him via the personalities of Fox News Channel, a subsidiary of Murdoch's media conglomerate, News Corp.
Since Obama's election, the cable channel's hosts and paid analysts have launched a full frontal assault on the president, smearing his nominees, calling him a racist and suggesting that his administration was trying to persuade disabled veterans to off themselves.
Now the fearmongers at Fox are crying foul since the president and his aides declared Fox not to be a news organization.
On Obama from Canada
Lament for a nation By David Warren, The Ottawa Citizen There is nothing new under the sun: and I mean, nothing. It is a point brought home to us with increasing force by the expansion of the Internet. Conceive of an "original idea."Health Debate Fails to Ignite Obama’s Grass Roots (NYTimes)

Putting Government First By Chris Reed on 1.19.09 @ 6:07AM The idea that Democrats care more about the poor and the needy is an enduring American political stereotype -- and one of the party's most potent vote-getting tools.

But at least on a rhetorical basis, Democrats certainly do talk the most about the hurting.The Obamas and the Gaffe Hunters
By Leslie Savan, The Nation Posted on April 3, 2009 http://www.alternet.org/story/134832/ The real question about how Barack and Michelle Obama are being received on their Rolling-G-20-Summit/Euro-Tour '09 has nothing to do with how the Europeans treat them, but all about the American mainstream media itself: What infinitesimal nit will they find to pick about the new president's conduct abroad that can be blown up into a two- to three-day pseudo-international incident?

Activist and Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon, 61, isn’t a fan of the way Hillary Clinton ran her failed bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. She claims that Hillary played the gender card too often and calls her “a blamer and whiner.” Sarandon is also not interested in a hypothetical role playing the Democratic Senator due to her poor opinion of her: You’ve played quite a few real-life people now. Would you like to play Hillary Clinton in the movie of her life?
