###### Drudge raised Bill Sammon's book to #1 at amazon in 3 days. Now book fever is catching up.

Stating conflict of interest, her husband - diplomatic correspondent Steven Weisman was transferred as economic reporter.
###### Meanwhile another NYTimes journo - Don Van Natta Jr. turned down a top editing position to write a biography of Hillary Clinton. (not on leave like Bumiller).
###### Tim Russert & Tucker Carlson were heard arguing heatedly by many at NBC last week. On a side note, Richard Carlson joined this week on the advisory committee of the Libby Legal Defense Team. BTW, Richard Carlson is the father of Tucker Carlson(MSNBC)
###### Media frequently report that Bush speaks with "friendly audience"(ever heard them say Bill Clinton spoke to hostile audience?). In Florida, Tampa Tribune's reporter was not allowed for Hillary Clinton's meetings. Her fault? - this editorial -> Dear Hillary: Don't Run

###### Enemy's enemy is friend -> that 's what Rupert Murdoch may be thinking. New York Post and Boston Globe(sister pub.of NYTimes) have a common enemy - Boston Herald and want to crush it. So, Boston Globe is in talks with Murdoch to print cheeky New York Post in Boston. Wonders never stop.
###### International Herald Tribune, the European version of NYTimes is running under deep loss & cutting 40% of its workforce.
Nice to see the connection. O'Reilly commented to Katie Couric one morning that he's waiting to see Russert taken away in handcuffs....re this Plame story!
He made it seem like a joke but I had the best little snicker.
Judging by some of the stories about how these reporters are having emotional problems, we might change the has been media or Old Media to "under Psychiatric care media".
