In the very body sworn to protect and defend the Constitution, an e-mail is circulating warning U.S. Senate staffers not to view one of the most popular news sites on the Web, claiming it could spread computer viruses. The Senate Sergeant-at-Arms, the chamber’s official gatekeeper, said the Drudge Report, a news aggregator, and whitepages.com, a telephone directory site, “are responsible for the many viruses popping up throughout the Senate,” according to an e-mail from the Environment and Public Works Committee obtained by FoxNews.com. Matt Drudge Thinks Politics is behind... [Read the full story]

MSNBC political analyst Craig Crawford has left the network – in a very public way. Writing on his blog at CQPolitics.com, Crawford says he has found the network “unrewarding for me,” – and expands on his reason for leaving in a comment to Mediaite. Craig Crawford Crawford last appeared on MSNBC on February 5, as a guest on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, where he regularly appeared (according to TV Eyes). The blog post came exactly one month after that appearance. Crawford wrote: Three months short of my current contract I sent the following to the boss, Phil Griffin: “Phil, Just wanted...

“As the Spittle Flies” is nearing the end of its run. This cable news soap opera — a.k.a. “Countdown With Keith Olbermann” — is alienating viewers as quickly as the angry and demanding diva has pushed away friends, family, and colleagues over the course of his tumultuous career. Crazy Keith is off in space somewhere When will the show end? Hard to tell. But the increasingly wild-eyed Keith is drawing rubberneckers in the same fashion as a six-car crackup beside the interstate. One media columnist observes a “creeping mania” brought on by plunging...

Dan Rather: ‘Obama couldn’t sell watermelons’

Ex-network anchor Dan Rather is back in the news again, this time after using President Obama and watermelons in the same sentence. The odd comments came on the “Chris Matthews Show” last weekend, when Matthews desperately tried to talk over the former CBS newsman’s free-wheeling opinions.

NYT and WaPo: Muhammad Is the Prophet of God

March 9, 2010 · 6472Leave a Comment2010-03-09+22%3A03%3A11Caleb

Is Muhammad more deserving of reverential treatment than Jesus? The New York Times seems to think so. A Times article reporting on the collapse of Christian communities in the Middle East contains two references to Jesus. Not “Christ,” which is a religious title, or “Jesus Christ,” but simply “Jesus,” who was (or may have been) a historical figure. The same is true of other Times stories and wire service articles published by the Times which no longer appear on its website (but still appear on other sites under different titles and are linked below). A December... [Read the full story]
