Here 's this sunday's Media Nuggets
###### UNREPORTED Poll-Result about MSM -> Just 23% have confidence in TV News & 22% have confidence in newspapers. That is, 78% of people DON'T believe the Media. Quite an accomplishment (!).
###### 'USA Today' founder on Rush Limbaugh's show: I find that that's one of the funniest programs on the air. I don't become offended by the idiotic things he says; it's OK for Idiots like him to voice their opinion. (Idiocy has it's rewards, See next fact.)
###### Gannett - publisher of USA Today Revenue Plummet 6% on continued advertising weakness and broadcasting declines.
###### Conventional Media wisdom - President Bush is worst-communicator. R i g h t ! - Just ask this Soldier.
###### Associated With democrats Press manipulate Drudge with old Re-cycled story.
###### The Incredible Shrinking -> New York Times.
###### NYTimes "The Ethicist" columnist Equates MoveOn.org with Boy Scouts & Catholic Church. Atleat one newspaper, The Spokesman-Review see the problem & pulled his syndicated column permanently.
###### Bill O'Reilly Rips Newspapers @ Columnists' Confab.
###### Fox's Red Eye -> is America's latest TV hit. Liberals are puzzled!
###### MSM - Underreported / Unreported -> Journalists’ slayings are tallied, but truth is NOT. 4 out of 5 journalists killed in Iraq have been Iraqi.
###### This Just In.........
*** Hadassah Lieberman, wife of Sen. Joe Lieberman Lunching with First lady Laura Bush @ WH - FLOTUS Strategery! (expect the unexpected.).
*** Former ABC WH correspondent Geoff Morrell, is Pentagon's new spokesman.
*** CNN’s Washington bureau sure is fertile these days. The bureau welcomed three baby girls into the world last week, all within a 24-hour period.
*** Fox Intern & God.
*** Gannett Interns & Injustice.
*** Fox Entertainment correspondent - Star Magazine's Jill Dobson replaces Bill McCuddy.
*** CNN Head Line News' PrmeTime with Erica Hill is extended to 2 hours - 5 to 7 PM Eastern. (Erica Hill is Conservative & CNN-HLN is more Conservative than FNC).
I would take every one of these shows off the air. They violate the Fairness Doctrine.
Really! I don't generally listen to the fluff he reports on, but he always struck me as a nice and rather appealing guy.
I really got a charge out of Allen Neuharth's(creator of USA Today) remarks about Rush calling him an "idiot".
Ironically Neuharth was dumb enough to fall into the trap of the charge we make the most about the rats, that most of their arguments are based on emotion not fact. He just proved that again for us(falling directly into the hole we dug for him) and coming from the top of msm/ rat/land I cherish it as a great coup. Go Rush go.!!
~9 months after CNN celebrated the Democratic win in the 2006 primaries.
So, will a second crop of babies now follow in August,
nine months after the last Dem win in Nov. 06 and CNN's second celebration?
Well... at least the have a slightly higher approval ratings then Congress *L*
McCuddy gone? About time!

if you have a blog where you post your nuggets, can you give me a link? I’d like to add it to my blog.
If you don’t post this anywhere else, can I repost all or part of them to my blog (with attribution)?
Either way, thanks for your work. Your nuggets are always one of my weekly highlights.
also, where are you traveling? After my last month I can certainly sympathize with any issues you may be having ;^>
