John Ziegler Cuffed, Stuffed for Covering Katie Couric Journalism Award
By Tommy Christopher and Caleb Howe - Politics DailyJohn Ziegler, the provocateur behind "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Sarah Palin was Targeted," tried to cover attendees of the Walter Cronkite Awards Dinner, but was met with forcible resistance. Campus police at USC set up a barricade for Ziegler that would have prevented him from having access to attendees. Their rationale was based on classifying Ziegler as a "protester."When he set up near the entrance to the event, the police took action. Here's the video:Full Video: Link: I'm no legal expert, so those police might have had some kind of legal fig leaf for what they did, ...
'Hillary: The Movie' to be Judged By Supreme Court, Not Ebert
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyYou might not have heard of "Hillary: The Movie," but it's about to open for an exclusive engagement with a very finicky audience: The Supreme Court.But the ultimate impact of "Hillary: The Movie" may come at the Supreme Court, where this week justices once again will be challenged to decide how congressional intentions to curb the power of special interest groups can coexist with the First Amendment's protection of free speech. ...Because the movie is partially financed with corporate funds, it fell under restrictions in the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 -- as the McCain-Feingold law ...
Disney Denies CEO Cursed Out Right-Wing Columnist at Shareholder Meeting
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAccording to this press release from the National Center for Public Policy Research, Disney CEO Robert Iger used an F-word other than Fantasia at this year's annual shareholders meeting.

'Media Malpractice's' John Ziegler Makes 'Worst Persons'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyNo sooner do I give him a positive review of his movie, than he goes and does this. Keith Olbermann let Ziegler have it on Countdown last night, calling him out for calling some conservatives "traitors" for criticizing conservatives. The argument goes that Ziegler is calling himself a traitor. I am going to withold comment on this for now, and see if I can get Ziegler to respond himself. .msnbcLinks {font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999; margin-top: 5px; background: transparent; text-align: center; width: 425px;} .msnbcLinks a {text-decoration:none !important; ...
'Media Malpractice' a Feel-Good Ride For the Right Crowd
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyWe here at The Political Machine have been reporting for months, in some depth, about filmmaker John Ziegler and his new project, "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Sarah Palin Was Targeted." While covering CPAC this past weekend, I caught a screening of the film (which cites fellow Political Machiner Denise Williams and me), and got to know Ziegler a little better through a series of interviews and "palling around," as it were.Before I get to the film review, however, I want to follow up briefly on the dustup between Ziegler and The Daily Beast's Max Blumenthal, which I reported on ...
CPAC Exclusive: John Ziegler/Max Blumenthal Smackdown
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyI posted spectator video, earlier, of the tail end of an altercation between "Media Malpractice" filmmaker John Ziegler and The Daily Beast's Max Blumenthal. Immediately afterward, Ziegler came down to Bloggers' Row to tell us all about it. Being the fair-minded guy that I am, I immediately set out to track down Blumenthal's side of the story. Together, their accounts form a weird, blogtastic version of Rashomon. I will be posting the unabridged versions of what they said later. Tommy on: BlogTalkRadio I Digg! I Facebook I TwitterOrder The Audacity of Democracy Starring Tommy Christopher ...
Throwdown at CPAC: John Ziegler vs. Max Blumenthal
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyEveryone here is buzzing about this confrontation between Howobamagotelected.com's John Ziegler and The Daily Beast's Max Blumenthal. The audio is tough to make out, but the body language is unmistakable. This was about half an hour ago. I just talked to John, and he explained the confrontation, I will have that video in awhile.

HowObamaGotElected.com Releases Movie, Ziegler Does Today Show
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyJohn Ziegler, proprietor of the website HowObamaGotElected.com and producer of "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted," was on the Today Show to promote the DVD release of the film. Ziegler does his trademark interview hijacking routine, with mixed results: (H/T Captain Ed)Lauer does a decent job of maintaining control of the interview, but he lets Ziegler get away with passing himself off as just some filmmaker, rather than a right-wing radio personality with an axe to grind. I haven't seen the film yet, but The Political Machine has covered Ziegler in great detail. ...
Sarah Palin Shrieks at the Sight of Keith Olbermann
By Dylan and Ethan Ris - Politics DailyAlaska Governor Sarah Palin would have never made it as far as she has without her intrinsic ability to sniff out evil anywhere it lurks. That's right folks, approach Palin without being properly de-witched, and she'll run shrieking in the other direction.At least that's what happened when Palin was confronted with a photo of notoriously pro-witch MSNBC host Keith Olbermann. This according to conservative blowhard John Ziegler, who interviewed her for a raving conspiracy film.Quoth Ziegler...When she looked at the back cover of my first film (Blocking the Path to 9/11) and saw the photo of one ...
