CNN Headline: “Candidates make appeal to anti-abortionists”
Charming. The article, by the way, is about Republican candidates attending a pro-life film by Mike Huckabee. Pretty innocuous and not exactly out of the mainstream in Iowa. But “this is CNN” so we have to describe those who favor protections for the unborn not as pro-life but “anti-abortionists”. Ace notes how misleading the headline [...]

29. November 2011
Other recipients: “Special Ed” Schultz of MSNBC, Newsweek and Daily Beast owner Tina Brown, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. They also name John Boehner, though their explanation focuses on blasting his politics and base rather than really explaining why the Speaker of the House is one of the least influential.

29. November 2011
Note to public officials: Attacking the media for covering a scandal never leads to less coverage. Never. The coverage just focuses on your attempts at intimidation. Embattled Attorney General Eric Holder today demanded The Daily Caller stop publishing articles about the growing calls in Congress for his resignation because of the failed Operation Fast and [...]
WaPo Reporter Asks Twitter for Dirt on Newt Gingrich
28. November 2011
Shameless. About an hour ago, Aaron Blake of the Washington Post took to Twitter to crowd-source opposition research on Republican frontrunner Newt Gingrich. He tweeted: Hey Tweeps: Looking for outlandish/incorrect predictions and quotes from Newt Gingrich’s past. Any ideas for me?

If it’s between New Gmail and carrier pigeon, I’m gonna start training birds
3. November 2011
I made the mistake today of trying out New Gmail. “Hell, I kinda liked New Twitter, and Google has a history of stylish design, so why not try it,” I said to myself. I quickly came to regret that decision. New Gmail isn’t just bad — it’s atrocious. Like “gauge out my eyeballs with a [...]

Joel P. Bennett, lawyer for one of the women who accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment (but couldn’t prove her case), apparently told a CNN panel this evening that his understanding is the story was “leaked to Politico from a Board member of the National Restaurant Association”.
