Newsweek Could Have Just Asked Colleagues at WaPo About Young Pro-Life
Krista Gesaman of Newsweek.com's Gaggle blog could have saved herself from the indignity of making the absurd claim that young women were "missing" from protests marking the anniversary of Roe v. Wade by merely searching through the past coverage of the March for Life by the Washington Post, Newsweek's sister publication.

Bozell Column: VH1 and Virginity, Cynicism and Censorship
When the cable network VH1 planned a news special called "The New Virginity," an abstinence backer might have felt optimistic that teenagers and young adults were going to get a refreshing jolt of publicity about the option of premarital celibacy.

GMA Criticizes Heidi Montag’s 10 Plastic Surgeries, Calls Her ‘Sad

WaPo's Quinn: Scott Brown Success Due to '80s Semi-Nude Photo Shoot
The special election in Massachusetts is sure to be a close one. Should Republican Scott Brown prevail, however, the liberal media will have a host of ways to explain away the election as an anomaly and by no means a referendum on either the president or his legislative accomplishments (or lack thereof).Perhaps one of the most absurd instances of this thinking came on last night's "O'Reilly…
