REPORT: Beck to End Daily Fox Show

Apparently, Glenn Beck has issued a press release announcing he “intends to transition off of his daily program” on Fox News Channel. Exactly what that means, we don’t know yet. UPDATE: The press release describes discussions about “a variety of television projects” in a vague enough way that media tea-leaf readers at both the Washington Post and […]

Conor Friedersdorf: Now Turning the Atlantic into Media Matters Lite?

When Andrew Sullivan jumped ship to The Daily Beast, Conor Friedersdorf stayed behind at the Atlantic, where today he devotes some 1,800 words to Why Rush Limbaugh Is Wrong About Libya.

It Was Not Until I Went Looking for a Photo to Illustrate This Post …

URGENT: BOMB IN DETROIT

The opening show of Charlie Sheen’s “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour in Detroit was a bomb of historic proportions. People who paid as much as $65 a ticket were booing and walking out. One self-described Sheen fan who came all the way from Toronto for the show said: “He’s making a fool of himself. Is […]

Showing Any Public Figure Crucified Is As Tasteless As Burning The Qur’an

by Smitty An interesting discussion came up today regarding the idiot in Florida who burned the Qur’an, and the resulting deaths in MeS, just north of me by a couple of hours. Burning anyone’s scripture is deplorable. Double deplorable for anyone nominally a follower of the Christ. Do you really think He’d do such? Really? […]
