#4 One son is in journalism at the University of Missouri. I just told him to tread carefully until his degree is awarded.

#5 Past recipients of the group’s Sol Taishoff award include TV newscasters David Brinkley, Dan Rather, John Chancellor, Jane Pauley, Barbara Walters and Nina Totenberg.

Hmmmmm... and what type of bias is the common denominator for the members of this distinguished list?

#6 --"I would welcome a discussion about whether objectivity really exists, which media seem the least fair and balanced, whether objectivity is desirable, whether it wouldn’t be better to have a more European-like model — in which media were straightforwardly ideologically aligned," she wrote in an e-mail to fellow board members. "All of those could be helpful to American journalism. --

Yes, please, give us BBC America!

#7 Irena Briganti is the Fox News spokeswoman who, refering to Christiane Amampour's anti-Fox rant, said; "Given the choice, it's better to be viewed as a foot soldier for Bush than a spokeswoman for al-Qaeda." Gosh, I love that woman.

#9 "Fox wants to do news from a certain viewpoint, but it wants to claim that it is ’fair and balanced,’ " she says. "That is inaccurate and unfair to other media who engage in a quest, perhaps an imperfect quest, for objectivity."


kinda like the kettle calling the pot black

#10 I watch Hume every night that I can. In the panel section of his show he usually has at least one representative of NPR. When Mara or Juan Williams is making a point, Brit stops Kondrake's chatter to let the an alternative view point be expressed. I have never seen him rant or belittle an idea that you would expect to not fit in with his own idealogy.

#11 Hooray for Hume - I like him the very best!!

As for Geneva Overholser, former ombudsman of The Washington Post, don't let the screen door hit ya....

#13 I concur Super Hose. His is the best Cable news show by far.

I only wish they would have Charles "the Hammer" Krauthammer on more.

#14 Maybe Overholser should read this about the Sunday morning talk shows.

#15 Mara and I think Juan are going to be the Fox anchors for the Dem convention. A couple of weeks ago, someone linked to the NPR site and boy, were feathers ruffled. They're not dems, how dare Fox send them?

#16 EUropeons are more ill-informed, uninformed, misinformed and disinformed than even the increasingly diminishing number of mostly elderly folk who STILL get their "news" from the ABCNBCCBSPBSCNNMSNBCCNBC network.
