    Political commentator Alice Stewart who more recently appeared as an analyst on CNN after working for several Republican presidential campaigns, has died suddenly at the age of 58. Stewart's body was found outside in a neighborhood in northern Virginia after suffering a 'medical emergency'. Police say no foul play was suspected. 'Alice was a very dear friend and colleague to all of us at CNN,' Mark Thompson, the network's CEO, said in an email to staff on Saturday. 'A political veteran and an Emmy Award winning journalist who brought an incomparable spark to CNN's coverage, known across our bureaus not...

  • Critics pan Jim Acosta's new book: He has 'become a commentator, not a reporter'

    Reviews of the new book "The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America" are starting to pour in and they're panning the book and its author, CNN liberal star reporter Jim Acosta, who one critics insisted has "become a commentator" in the Trump era. NPR book critic Annalisa Quinn hits Acosta's book for not asking why President Trump has "succeeded" with his attacks against the media but used the anti-Trump memoir "as an opportunity to relitigate his spats with the White House rather than to meaningfully interrogate the cultural shift that left huge numbers...

    It's official: Americans admire Glenn Beck more than they admire the pope. This news, at once unsettling and unsurprising, came from the Gallup polling organization on Wednesday. Beck, the new Fox News host who has said President Obama has a "deep-seated hatred for white people" and alternately likens administration officials to Nazis and Marxists, was also more admired by Americans than Billy Graham and Bill Gates, not to mention Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush. In Americans' esteem, Beck only narrowly trailed South Africa's Nelson Mandela, the man who defeated apartheid. The 45-year-old recovering alcoholic and Mormon convert has become...
  • An American Patriot - Tony Snow

    During the early hours of July 12, 2008, at Georgetown Medical Center, we lost a friend, writer, articulate commentator, father, husband, and an American Patriot, Tony Snow. Over the years, I have watched more talking head shows than I can remember, and most likely care too remember. Tony Snow was different because he created a fresh approach to discussing politcs. His pull no punches, combative exchanges that were not cutting, along with his wonderful sense of humor would always captivate his audience. Tony was articulate, charming, and eloquent. Tony's personality came across as honest, strong, but far from cocky, hateful,...

    Years ago in the late 1980s a man named Rush Limbaugh began broadcasting a talk radio show which soon became syndicated. Today he is the single most listened to radio personality in the nation. He is both revered and despised, but he has become a very wealthy man by tapping into a deep-seated need in the American public for a conservative viewpoint on government and world events. None of this happened by accident and soon Limbaugh was followed by other talk show hosts. There are literally hundreds today. Shawn Hannity, Michael Reagan, Bill O’Reilly, and many more have really hit...

    WHO'S HOT.... 1. MARK STEYN Praise to the finest political pundit of our time. His name is Mark Steyn. He's a proud Canadian. But unlike the wishy-washy wusses who dominate Canada's elite media, Steyn is as outfront, insightful and wise as one can hope for in a journalist these days. And because of his forthrightness, he spends his days in journalistic exile, a courageous global voice for reason and liberty whose wise and cautionary words about today's global insanity turn up in publications all around the globe (except in Canada). Who else but Mark Steyn could so aptly describe the...

    LOS ANGELES (AP) - Trailblazing journalist and author Shana Alexander, whose on-air verbal skirmishes with conservative James J. Kilpatrick on CBS' "60 Minutes" were so popular they were spoofed on "Saturday Night Live," died Thursday of cancer, her family confirmed. She was 79. Alexander died at an assisted living facility in Hermosa Beach, her niece Hannah Bentley said Thursday night. Alexander wrote for numerous magazines including Newsweek and National Geographic and was the first female staff writer employed by Life magazine. She was also the first female editor at McCall's magazine. But she was best known for her "Point-Counterpoint" segments...

    Andy Rooney's Loosening Grip On Reality - Edward L. Daley Famed CBS commentator and leftist curmudgeon, Andy Rooney, has once again humiliated himself on national tv, and someone needs to tell him it's time to hang up his microphone and move to a nice retirement home in Kissimmee, Florida, or some other octogenarian haven. Now, I understand that the number of people these days who actually watch him and his chest-thumping, brow-beating, document-forging pals on '60 Minutes' is equal to the number of folks who believe that Elvis is still alive and living in a trailer park just outside of...

    Intel announced its earnings late Tuesday and we were once again witnesses to the traditional hand-wringing exercises that are standard operating procedure in that most peculiar business, the semiconductor industry. The fact is that this sector, in general, is addled with a collective fear of failure and self-doubt unparalleled in the history of business enterprise. Intel (INTC: news, chart, profile) epitomizes the attitude that is marked by a vicious, competitive survival instinct and the constant need to dabble in money-losing side ventures based on the deep-seated and wrongheaded fear that its main business will disappear.
