See P.J. Gladnick's Bizarre Baucus Behavior on Senate Floor Ignored by MSM. But MSNBC did the Montana senator no favors: 1. it used his name in the same sentence with a variation on the word "blasted," and 2. what's worse, it played a clip from the Baucus', um, tired and emotional floor speech. View the video and judge for yourself.

The comments by Zhu Min, deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, referred to the overall situation globally, not specifically to China, the biggest foreign holder of US government bonds. Chinese officials generally are very careful about commenting on the dollar and Treasuries, given that so much of its US$2.3 trillion reserves are tied to their...

The address before the United States Military Academy at West Point on Tuesday night will not only be used to announce the immediate order to deploy roughly 30,000 more troops, but the administration will also use the occasion to convey how it intends to turn the fight over to the Kabul government, the New York Times reported.

The news is flat and the coverage is not as crisp as it used to be. Sometimes things of interest go unreported (cyber Monday, for example) but silly Hollywood stuff IS reported (for filler, perhaps). Sometimes the subject is repeated twice on the page; sometimes different articles on the same subject are filed in different sections of the page. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2397550/posts#comment Tue, 1 Dec 2009 13:57:47 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2391142/posts CABLE NEWS RACE NOV. 19, 2009 FOXNEWS O'REILLY/PALIN 4,120,000 FOXNEWS HANNITY 2,871,000 FOXNEWS BECK 2,730,000 FOXNEWS BAIER 2,359,000 FOXNEWS GRETA 2,113,000 FOXNEWS SHEP 2,078,000 MSNBC OLBERMANN 1,188,000 CNNHN GRACE 1,018,000 CNN KING 980,000 MSNBC MADDOW 877,000 MSNBC HARDBALL 597,000 CNN COOPER 585,000 Drudge Report http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2391142/posts#comment Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:08:00 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2385501/posts HER TURN!

She’d been lauded as the “eighth wonder of the world” whose “impact on the world of palaeontology” would be like “an asteroid falling down to Earth.” Falling, indeed. On October 21, Nature published an article announcing that “[a] 37-million-year-old fossil primate from Egypt, described today in Nature, moves a controversial German fossil known as Ida out of the human lineage.” Wired also published a story, noting that, “[f]ar from spawning the ancestors of humans, the 47 million-year-old Darwinius seems merely to have gone extinct, leaving no descendants,” further..."...
