HBO and Martin Scorsese are producing a documentary on Bill Clinton, with his full participation – which means it will have all the typical goo. But it's even cozier than that. It’s not what you’d call an “independent” film – Washington Post TV writer Lisa de Moraes reported it’s produced by Steve Bing, who “is a major financial contributor to the William J. Clinton Foundation and has…

To paraphrase the estimable Yogi Berra - it’s like deja vu all over, and over, and over, and over again. The Jurassic Press media is enraptured with a certain story.

UPDATE AT END OF POST: Hannity responds. Bill Maher on Friday told Fox News’s Sean Hannity to commit suicide.

A war broke out on the set of HBO’s Real Time Friday when MSNBC’s sole conservative commentator S.E.

Stop the presses! Stop the presses! On HBO's Real Time Friday, Democratic strategist James Carville - yes, I said Democratic strategist James Carville - scolded the Daily Beast's Andrew Sullivan for always blaming Republicans (video follows with transcript and commentary):

For the second time in less than two weeks, Andrew Sullivan's ignorance was revealed on national television.
