This week's news quiz is a toughie. If you blame Sarah Palin for the GOP's failure to take the Senate, have 'always loved NPR,' oppose Arizona's immigration law as "unacceptable and un-American' and called Republican candidate Sharron Angle a 'mental patient,' then you must be:

NY Times Ad Brags of Bringing a Couple Together, Inspires YouTube Paro
A New York Times commercial that has spawned multiple parodies brags that "the best journalists in the world work at the Times – and there's no debating that."

By MSNBC Standards, GE's $16 Billion in Bailout Loans Compromises NBC
Do a media company's political activities affect the way its subsidiaries report the news? The folks at MSNBC sure think so.
