This blog, ostensibly a critical look at the news media's coverage of the campaign, looks like it could use some criticism of its own. On its current front page as I write this, it includes links to attacks on the news media written by Eric Alterman, Timothy Noah and Josh Marshall. I don't see a single link to any conservative columnist or blogger.

Media Shenanigans / Schadenfreude ping

Yeah, I noticed that about Jennings.

I've rarely heard such long-winded questions delivered in such a priggish, mincing, Patrician style.

Brit Hume blew his doors off.

No surprise wrt "Petah".

Jennings acted like such an elitist.

His "gotcha" questions - got him far more often than it got any of the candidates. Awful. Just awful.

If he spent more time trying to figure out how to get network news numbers up rather than imagining himself "democrat king maker" it would be a start.

Peter Jennings spoke more words than each of three candidates

just can't trust MODERATORS huh?? =o)

Have jennings et al been hanging around Art Bell? He can really ruin a guest's appearence with his constant interruptions and blah blahs about nothing. Adds absolutely NOTHING to the show.

It's a sad commentary on the Democrats when Al Sharpton is the most entertaining and honest person there. And Peter Jennnings was his always pompous, self-important, snooty self. Actually Lieberman did a good job - of defending Bush and the war in Iraq . :)
