Fox, Weigel, the New Black Panther Party, and the Missing Link

14Jul10

I’ve been feeling alienated from politics recently, and a faux controversy like the one Fox produced on the NBPP is one of the reasons. It just seems so tired. Dave Weigel is guest blogging for Sullivan this week, and he’s weighed in. The top part is him quoting an exchange between Sean Hannity and Malik […]

I Don’t Think This Will Work

16Apr10

As much as I love the shots at twisted genius Frank Luntz, I’m not feeling this ad: The problem is, who is Frank Luntz? He’s the premier practitioner of my field of study, political communication. He worked with Newt Gingrich on the “Contract with America” that led to the sweeping GOP victory in 1994. He […]

It’s Tea Party Week in Boston

12Apr10

Which means PoliOlogy will be on the case as best as it can be. I’m going to try to see Palin on the Common, work schedule permitting. I have a feeling the Emersonians will do quite a number on her and the supporters, and can only hope we join Brown students in being fodder for […]

Major Garrett Gets It

11Apr10

Well, I have to give Twitter credit for improving transparency in reporting. This actually just goes to show how responsible a reporter Garrett is; if you’re not taking advantage of the apparent subsidy Prague gives for alcohol, you’re missing out on a dangerous amount of fun. Serious H/T to Jason Linkins

Oh No, Don’t Do It, PoliOlogy!

09Apr10

*Sigh* It’s kinda like getting out there on a playground, a bunch of kids, getting ready to fight, and one of the kids saying, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face and I’m not going to retaliate. Go ahead and do what you want to with me.’ Isn’t that analogy strikingly similar to the Christian […]

Mama Said Cut Him Out

31Mar10

You knew there’d be some hiccup with the latest cable news phenomenon, but I wouldn’t have guessed it’d be this: After the network announced that Sarah Palin would host a special Thursday called “Real American Stories” — featuring an interview with LL Cool J, among other celebrities — the rapper hit back on Twitter claiming they […]

The Feud Continues; FOX vs. the World, especially NBC

11Jul08

Jason Whitlock, notably a former guest on ESPN’s The Sports Reporters, has a front page story on FoxSports.com completely trashing NBC’s line up for Football Night in America, basically the Sunday night game, and a wrap-up of the day in the league. Whitlock has been controversial figure in the past for his remarks about Sean […]

O’Reilly: Unleashed?

19May08

Howard Kurtz writes an article this morning on the possibility that election stealer and Fox News executive Roger Ailes will “unleash” his “attack dog” Bill O’Reilly on NBC’s parent company GE. O’Reilly has complained in the past that GE has helped “kill Americans in Iraq” because they do business with Iran. Then O’Reilly criticized most […]
