Old Lefties Never Die, They Just Take New Jobs at Big Media Companies
I’m sure this will turn out well. Vivian Schiller will be joining NBC News as Chief Digital Officer. The announcement was made today by NBC News President Steve Capus. Schiller’s role is a new position at NBC News, as the network expands its leadership team to add management of its digital platforms. She will join [...]
The Delivery Presents – Neither Bias Nor Success Are Accidents
Now that SMP Mike has released Episode 95 into the wild, The Delivery is five weeks from its 100th episode and a bit under two months from its second birthday. I mention that because being a successful broadcaster has been a dream of mine since I was young. Now, you might not think that a [...]
The New MSM Meme: Jon Huntsman, The Man Who Scares Democrats
There’s an old saying that goes “Once is happenstance; twice is coincidence; the third time is enemy action.” It’s a useful phrase to remember during a Presidential election season as you can use it to identify interesting new memes coming out of the MSM.

Fun With Bad Polls (Or, Why Won’t Those Wicked Republicans Compromise?)
Ezra Klein, wunderkind of the Washington Post, believes he has the goods on Republicans. His “gotcha” comes in the form of a recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll on the matter of which party should compromise in order to avoid a government shutdown and all its attendant apocalyptic events. I’ll not recreate Klein’s argument, but I’ll [...]
In this Administration, Freedom of the Press Isn’t Allowed to Come Out of the Closet
They told me if I voted for John McCain, government officials would imprison reporters to keep their doing secret…and they were right!* The White House website proudly says ‘President Obama is committed to creating the most open and accessible administration in American history.’ But try telling Vice President Joe Biden’s staff that, after they held [...]
