Here 's this week's Media Nuggets
###### Tom DeLay was in Washington attending a party the night his primary results came in hosted by YES, lobbyists Bill Paxton and Susan Molinari. Suddenly, MSNBC reporter Norah O-Duh!-nel showed up & asked DeLay why he was in Washington. DeLay replied - "Do you know what the Patriot Act is? Have you heard of it? I just voted on it."
###### Newsday inflated it's circulation by as much as 98,000 copies a day between 2002 and 2004. - Former Newsday staffer reveals details after plea deal.
###### Brit Hume, the Washington Managing Editor and his wife Kim Hume, Vice President and D.C.Bureau Chief, are profiled - "At home with the Humes" - in the latest issue of Southern Living Magazine.
###### Great News About Jobs everywhere except at Washington Post which is cutting 80 Newsroom Jobs & closing at least two foreign bureaus due to declining circulation & reduced ad.earnings.
###### Jim Rutenberg NYTimes media-writer will replace Elizabeth Bumiller in WH, who is taking an year leave to write a book on Condi.
###### Allthough still the cable-leader, Fox News ratings slide 15 to 20% during February. Slide is almost equal on all the shows - the most affected was H&C which lost a little over half million viewers and down to #4 from #2 status.
###### On International Women's Day, Hillary Clinton was at the National Press Club encouraging women to become entrepreneurs. An instant laughter stunned Hillary when she mentioned her husband's foundation intends to train women.
###### Rush Limbaugh is an avid Mac-user & openly invited Steve Jobs to our side several times. Now, Rush and Apple techies are working to introduce Rush's new audio & video podcast service via Apple's iTunes Store.
###### WSJ's political reporter John Harwood forgot his day-job & behaved like a dem. at Hillary's National Press Club meeting which is against WSJ ethics. Word at WSJ is what happened a year ago to Al Hunt might happen to him now. By Media's Revolving door magic, he will land at NBC.
###### CEO Dick Parson admits, Time magazine became irrelevant now & needs to change.
