Unprofessionalism at the Boston Herald: White Men Attacked
Margery Eagan of the Boston Herald has done it again. She's unleashed her deathless prose filled with soaring rhetoric and high concepts all revealing her infinite sagacity.

Tapper Thumper: Is Obama 'Preventing Actual Reporters' From Covering W
On May 20, ABC's Jake Tapper asked a few salient questions about coverage of an April 27 incident at the White House basketball court, a sort of event after the event that the White House press corps was barred from covering.
