Fox News Viewers Believe the Darndest Things, Study Finds
By David Knowles - AOL News(Dec. 17) -- Fair and balanced ... and factually incorrect? A newly released study out of the University of Maryland concludes that viewers of the Fox News Channel were "significantly more likely" to believe a host of factually incorrect information than viewers who watched other television news organizations. Fox is by no means the only media outlet guilty of spreading what the study considers misniformation, but the channel's viewers were found to believe incorrect views on matters of established fact in much higher percentages than those peple who got their news of the world ...
Kendrick Meek Talked With Bill Clinton About Quitting Senate Race
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyRep. Kendrick Meek confirmed Friday that he and Bill Clinton discussed speculation that the Democrat might drop out of the three-way contest for Senate in Florida. But Meek denied reports from Politico and others that the former president pressured him to quit in order to help Republican-turned-independent Gov. Charlie Crist beat GOP nominee Marco Rubio. "We had a conversation in Orlando. The president and I talked about it," Meek said on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe" Friday. "I told him I'm not going to do it and that's just the bottom line." Crist revealed in televised interviews that he was aware ...
Opinion: GOP's Pledge Misses the Mark
By Bob Maistros - AOL News(Sept. 23) -- Congressional Republicans have maintained that their "Pledge to America" would not be another "Contract with America." That's for sure. In the same sense that Dan Quayle was "no Jack Kennedy." The 1994 Contract was a masterpiece of political communication that rocked the nation by laying out in clear, simple language eight straightforward action steps and 10 specific pieces of legislation Republicans in Congress would enact if handed control after four decades out of power. It was a timely, smart and taut political manifesto -- just two pages long and easily digestible. The ...
Opinion: GOP to Tea Party -- Your Votes, Not Your Ideas
By not in system - AOL News(Sept. 22) -- I had a good chuckle at Erick Ericson's enraged piece on the Republican pledge, now being circulated by Democratic spinmeisters. Question for Erickson: What did he expect? Here is the GOP cruising to a handsome election victory. Do you seriously imagine that they would jeopardize the prospect of victory and chairmanships by issuing big, bold promises to do deadly unpopular things? But if the document is unsurprising, it's also unsurprising that Erickson and those who think like him would find it enraging. The "Pledge to America" is a repudiation of the central, foundational ...

2010 Shaping Up to Be a Tough Year for Democrats
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Jan. 2) -- An already difficult situation for Democrats in Congress is worsening as the 2010 political season opens. To minimize expected losses in next fall's election, President Barack Obama's party is testing a line of attack that resurrects George W. Bush as a boogeyman and castigates Republicans as cozy with Wall Street. Four House Democrats from swing districts have recently chosen not to seek re-election, bringing to 11 the number of retirements that could leave Democratic-held seats vulnerable to Republicans. More Democratic retirements are expected. Over the holiday ...
McCain's 'No' on Sotomayor Could Haunt Him in 2010
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyArizona Sen. John McCain's decision to vote "no" on Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court is interesting on many political levels. As Bonnie noted here, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee made clear he still harbors ill will for Democrats who blocked the nomination of Miguel Estrada to the D.C. Court of Appeals. "Mr. Estrada also was a supremely qualified candidate. And he too has an incredible life story," McCain said, but Democrats filibustered him seven times. In his full floor statement, McCain went on at length about Sotomayor's "activist" record on the bench. That is the ...
