Katie Couric Harassed in Cairo [VIDEO]
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsKatie Couric could hardly get a word in, but the footage of her report says all you need to know. The CBS News correspondent can add her name to the growing list of journalists reporting on the Egyptian revolution who have been harassed by supporters of embattled president Hosni Mubarak. CNN's Anderson Cooper and ABC News anchor Christiane Amanpour already survived their own run-ins with media-inhibiting Mubarak allies, so it's only fitting that Couric received a similar welcome. The latest footage released by CBS News shows Couric struggling to remain in front of the camera and file a ...

The crowd kept growing, kept throwing more punches, kicks, trying to grab us. It was ...
Ronald Reagan's Children Disagree on His Alzheimer's, His Legacy and the GOP
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyRonald Reagan may have been hailed by admirers for such achievements as helping to end Communism and pulling the country out of its economic and psychic malaise. But "Father Knows Best" he wasn't. Having graduated from Hollywood movies and lucrative TV work to the governorship of California and the U.S. presidency, the one big thing that eluded him was a happy, cohesive family with four children from two marriages. Indeed, the last time Ronald Reagan's two surviving sons and a daughter were in the same room was for the reading of their father's will, after his death in 2004 at age 93. ...
Corporate Profits Soar to Record Levels, but Little Evidence of Trickle Down Yet
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 23) -- When it comes to the nation's economy, is the glass half full or half empty? On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Commerce revised its figures for how fast the nation's economy grew in the third quarter. GDP measured 2.5 percent, up 0.3 percentage points from the original estimates of 2.2 percent. A range of factors contributed to the revision, including strong consumer spending and healthy export sales. GDP has remained in positive territory in each of the first three quarters of 2010, marking a year in which the nation began to wrest free of the grip of the worst recession in ...
Inside the GOP's Plans on Health Care, War and More
By not in system - AOL News(Nov. 8) -- Now that Republicans have gained control of the House, they can push back against President Barack Obama's agenda with more than just talk. While the Democrats maintain the Senate (and the president his veto authority), the GOP can still make a significant impact. Here's a look at the various issues reporters and conservatives say are on the table: Congressional Hearings: "Republicans should use their new investigatory powers to hold hearings and force officials like HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to testify about the [health care] law," argues Michael Tanner at The New York ...
Why Christiane Amanpour Is Bombing on ABC's 'This Week'
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyNEW YORK – Nine weeks since her hot launch as the host of one of the major Sunday political talk shows, Christiane Amanpour is tanking as the ratings for ABC's "This Week " have fallen dramatically to the point that the program occasionally drops to last place among the top three. "This Week," under host George Stephanopolous, at times hit No. 1, but usually held a strong second place in the Sunday morning talk show wars, after the perennial favorite, "Meet the Press" on NBC. But now "This Week" is winding up in third place more often than not on most Sundays. On Sunday, Sept. 19, for ...
Barbie, Journalism's New Ambassador (and Badly Needed Savior?)
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyJournalism has needed a global ambassador. Now it has one -- Barbie. Yes, Barbie has transformed into a news anchor. For the first time in the doll's 51-year history, Mattel asked consumers to pick Barbie's new adventure from five careers – architect, computer engineer, environmentalist, news anchor and surgeon. Forget Barbie designing her own dream home or saving the planet. No, Barbie needs to be in the middle of the action, and journalism certainly provides that some days. In her new incarnation, the doll -- looking like she just returned from Malibu -- wears a pink suit with ...
