David Letterman, Sarah Palin and the Olive Garden of Earthly Delights
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIf you thought that the grand media triptych known as the David Letterman/Sarah Palin feud had finally wound down, you were mistaken. Or, maybe you weren't. After telling a series of controversial jokes about Palin's recent visit to New York City, David Letterman found himself the target of criticism from fans and foes of the Alaska governor alike. Letterman attempted an initial, backhanded apology, but Palin's camp was not amused. A second, much more earnest-sounding apology was put forth, even as Letterman mocked the handful of demonstrators who had gathered outside the Ed Sullivan theater ...

By Tommy Christopher and Caleb Howe - Politics DailyJohn Ziegler, who was arrested Thursday while trying to cover a journalism awards ceremony, will appear on BlogTalkRadio's Unusable Signal tonight to discuss his arrest.We'll discuss the legal implications of the arrest, and find out why John thinks Katie Couric didn't deserve the award. From Ziegler's press release:USC is giving Couric the award for "Impact on the 2008 Election," specifically for her "extraordinary, persistent and detailed multi-part interviews with Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin." Ziegler noted, "This award is absurd on its face. Obviously Couric is being ...
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, ...

'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; ...

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!

Media Madness' John Ziegler is Not a Good Date
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyBeware ladies! Filmmaker and former conservative radio talk show host John Ziegler, (profiled and interviewed by Tommy) who just released "Media Madness. How Obama Got Elected and Palin was Targeted," turns out to be a tad bit self-centered in the dating arena. A little-known appearance on The Learning Channel's "The New Dating Story" was recently unearthed by my friends over at The Political Carnival and shows an egotist with some pretty strange ideas about women who makes not one whiff of an impression on his date. I never would have imagined an ego this large from Mr. Ziegler's recent TV ...
