The Right's New Reporting: Big Journalism and the Daily Caller

The Right's New Reporting: Big Journalism and the Daily Caller

Two new Web sites crashed the D.C. media scene in the past week. Both are the works of well-known conservative media personalities, and both say their goal is to do what the old media seems to do less and less of these days: break big stories. Andrew Breitbart, the former editor of the Drudge Report and "primary developer" of the Huffington Post, who now operates his own ring of right-wing sites, launched Big Journalism in the afterglow of sister site Big Government's triumph in breaking the ACORN scandal. He says it will produce "solidly backed-up stories" that hold the mainstream media ...

Tucker Carlson Concern-Trolls Jon Stewart at Daily Beast

Tucker Carlson Concern-Trolls Jon Stewart at Daily Beast

The Daily Beast is becoming the go-to website for political feuds, from Max Blumenthal's throwdown with Media Malpractice filmmaker John Ziegler, to Meghan McCain's battle with Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham. But Tucker Carlson is changing all of that. Instead of slamming Jon, as he did on CNN's Reliable Sources, he just wants to help now, offering Stewart advice on how to keep his TV show on the air. From The Daily Beast: Like most sermons, Stewart's showdown with Jim Cramer ended with a neat moral lesson. Once journalists who cover business regain their sense of responsibility and "start ...

Tucker Carlson Attacks Jon Stewart For Attacking Cramer, NOT Himself

Tucker Carlson Attacks Jon Stewart For Attacking Cramer, NOT Himself

On CNN's Reliable Sources Sunday, Tucker Carlson made a years-late attempt to avenge his drubbing on Crossfire by Daily Show host Jon Stewart. He launches an ill-informed tirade against Stewart, claiming that he only criticized Jim Cramer once Cramer criticized the Obama administration.Maybe Carlson's on to something, though. Maybe Jon Stewart didn't set his sights on Jim Cramer until he dared to question The Mighty O-N-E! Hmmm, how do we test that out? Well, let me just arbitrarily throw a dart and see what Stewart was talking about before Cramer's heresy. Let's go back, oh, I don't know, ...

Clinton Campaign Coverage Was Sexiest

By  Tommy Christopher - Politics Daily
Clinton Campaign Coverage Was Sexiest

The sexiest campaign coverage was reserved for Hillary Clinton's primary run, according to many political observers. This reporter, himself, has been referred to as "sexiest" innumerable times by readers on these forums, and while I did like the way my hair looked in that one picture from the Philadelplhia event, I think they're just flattering...wait, I'm getting something in my earpiece...how's that?...Sexist? From The New York Times: Angered by what they consider sexist news coverage of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, many women and erstwhile ...

Tucker Carlson For President? Not in '08

Tucker Carlson For President? Not in '08

Whether frightened or excited by those words, they have to come as something of a shock. But the word on the internets is that the bow-tied, recently-canceled host of MSNBC's Tucker, and Ron Paul supporter, plans to seek the nomination of the Libertarian Party. From the New York Times, via reason.com: "Tucker Carlson for president?" That's the headline at the personal blog for Brendan Nyhan, a former Spinsanity editor who is now a graduate student in political science at Duke. Nyhan says that Carlson, the former "Crossfire" host and former writer for The Weekly Standard, among other ...

Dennis Kucinich Thumps Tucker Carlson

By  David Knowles - Politics Daily
Dennis Kucinich Thumps Tucker Carlson

Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich has been seen as something of a running joke of late. An also-ran presidential candidate in '04, he's back again to claim his lowly single-digit slice of polling percentages, and share the stage at debates with Democratic heavyweights. And at the most recent debate, Mr. Kucinich garnered nearly as many headlines as his opponents, but, yet again, for all the wrong reasons. The jokes about Kucinich's UFO sighting flew fast and furious. Days later, Kucinich introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Cheney, and to many it seemed that Mr. K had come ...
