HelpNB's Bozell Comments on Rush's Ratings and the White House Attack Backfiring
As announced yesterday, audience numbers surged for Rush-carrying stations across the country, including in several of the nation's largest markets like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston. Since the orchestrated campaign continued into March, ratings could reach even greater heights for this month. Bozell: Walters Scolds Hasselbeck for Allegedly Never Conceding a Point
Responding to more Sarah Palin bashing and Joy Behar labeling the Alaska governor "dumb" (talk about the pot calling the kettle black) Hasselbeck once again rose up as the lone voice on the panel, and even a hostile studio audience, in defending Governor Palin. Apparently taking issue with disputing some co-hosts’ assertion that Palin lacks the intellectual capacity to be vice president, Barbara Walters exclaimed "every single day you never ever say ‘maybe this is another point.’" Upgrade UpdateAuthor pictures, as you can obviously see, are back again. I had to rewrite the code from scratch and am testing them in the blog posts only. If I feel confident in the code, user avatars will come back in the comments but a two restrictions: 1) pics can be no bigger than 3kb in size, 2) they must be exactly 85 pixels high if you don't want them to appear stretched out. Private messaging is working again also. Forums Are FixedJust a quick note: The NB forums are fixed now. Anyone who is registered can now start a discussion. Per Mean Gene Dr. Love's suggestion, we also have added an additional forum, "The Woodshed" where you can move a heated debate instead of getting a comment thread on an article off-track. Still working on the profile pics and private messages.
More Beta NewsWe're almost finished with a massive back-end upgrade to NB. Feel free to go over today and kick the tires. Among the new features:
Post your feedback over here, though, since we're test AP/Baker-Wilson,Plame lovefestI linked from drudge to an article on Breitbart re Couric's plagiarism flap to the story re the Wilson-Plame's settling in Santa Fe and this is media bias at its best. Notice the underlinings done I assume by Breitbart?! Notice all of the allegations left hanging as facts, after all a liberal does not want to be confused with those nasty little facts. For example, that Plame was a "spy!" Was she really in charge of "wmds" for the CIA?! Wow, Deborah Baker must be some proud of her credentials to report "the news." Vieira Hits Jackson With 'Hymietown,' Lauer Softpedals With Sharpton![]() How big was the Imus story on this morning's "Today"? The show devoted the entire first half-hour and half of the second to it. Both Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira seemed uncomfortable, struggling to sound the right note. But while Vieira had the gumption to confront Jesse Jackson with his own record of having made a bigoted statement, Lauer tiptoed to the edge and backed off when confronting Al Sharpton about his racially-charged past. View video here. In the first half-hour, "Today" simulcast its show with "Imus in the Morning," and had both Imus and Sharpton as guests. Here's how Lauer's brinksmanship, which came at 7:13 AM EDT, went down:Status Update Open ThreadIn case you tried to get in earlier today around 9:20 am Eastern or so, NewsBusters was hacked through a vulnerability in our web software. This is the first time it's happened. We'll be doing the upgrade this weekend however it is costing us several thousand dollars to do this. Please consider a donation to help us defray the costs. MRC/NB's Bozell on 'Hannity's America' About Media Avoidance of HRC's Iraq Flip-Flops
Video clip, including Hannity's collection of Clinton flip-flops (6:50): Real (5.1 MB at 100 kbps) or Windows Media (4.3 MB at 81 kbps), plus MP3 audio (2.4 MB) Showtime's 'the L word' to Feature 'Unauthorized Abortion of W' Sculpture
In a promo for the January 28 episode, character “Bette Porter,” the dean of a university's art school played by Jennifer Beals, tells a new character played by Marlee Matlin: “I'm bringing one of our biggest donors to tour the studio. There's a radical sculpture.” Through a male interpreter, the deaf Matlin character, whom the L word's Web site describes as “an artist whose work is politically incendiary,” observes: “He's not going to like that piece.” Porter/Beals confirms “no.” Then as a man comes into view, presumably the big donor, the camera quickly pans the figure of Bush in the womb as Matlin explains: “This is called the 'Unauthorized Abortion of W.'” Capital Hill Blue: More Liberal Fuel for IslamThis story has everything—“unnamed sources,” talkative white house “insiders,” “unidentified presidential aides,” and “speculating” psychiatrists. What article would be complete without visual aids? Neatly tucked in amongst the “startling revelations” is a picture of a very young-looking George W. Bush, flashing the middle-finger salute. The only problem is, the picture was taken when Bush was the Governor of Texas and is cut from a video, when seen in its entirety, is clearly meant as a joke.
