This sunday's Media Nuggets

###### Moody's cuts Tribune(which includes LATimes, Chicago Tribune, Newsday and many others) to "junk" status. Happens when they ally themselves with terrorists @ Guantanamo.

###### Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was Olbermann's "hero".

###### President Bush's personal aide goes to Harvard Business School, even media likes him.

###### United States military personnel now able to watch World Cup baseball, football, basketball, golf, Nascar, hockey, college championships and the Olympics on bases and ships around the world, thro' the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service thanks to Rupert Murdoch.

###### Remember the "Bloggers in their Pajamas" comment by MSM? Now the USA Today Baghdad correspondent Cesar Soriano goes on a similar attack - "To all the Chairborne Rangers advancing the vast 'negative media' conspiracy from the safety and comfort of their parents' basements: If you think you can do better, I've got a spare bed in the Baghdad bureau." - Big Mistake.

###### If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. NYTimes keep pushing for housing bubble burst. Didn't happen. So, it 's launching a Real Estate Magazine, named "Key".

###### George Soros becomes a "convicted felon" -> and gets an hour-long interview on CNBC without touching that subject.

###### Esquire mags readers seems intelligent, as they chose to have Dinner With Condi than Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston.

###### Challenge to AP - Conservative Thomson Financial is buying Agence France-Presse (AFX News) and wirenews headlines showing difference already:
Bush trip leaves Democrats in disarray
Baghdad sees end of Qaeda near as crackdown enters day two

###### Conflict, what conflict? When spouse is one of the board of directors, Page-1 honor comes automatically.

###### Media Ins & Outs - Dan Rather 100% out of CBS.Mike Chinoy out of CNN. MSNBC canned Maurie&Connie, Connected Coast 2 Coast & "Abrams Report" after heavy loss, but can't fire can't fire Dan Abrams & Monica Crowley(contract). So they gave Abrams a desk job(GM) & Monica Crowley an anchor job twice a week.

Thanks again, Anita, for the media nuggets. I especially ejoyed the links about convicted felon George Soros, and CNBC's failure to mention it.

The L/MSM/Drive-by media should follow all of their output with the following caveat:

"Paid for by convicted felon and Democrat activist/adviser, George Soros."
