This is what the front page of the Huffington Post looked like at approx. 9 am this morning. Look at all those ads for Recount! Look, I don’t begrudge anyone for trying to make a buck but look at that. They are completely overwhelming and distract immensely from the content. I can understand the top of the page banner ad, thats fine, but the skyscrapers on the left and right are way, way too much. Tone it down a notch there Arianna.
This footage of TV personalities behind the scenes is oddly mesmerizing. Featuring Chris Matthews, Bill O’Reilly, Ann Coulter and others.
Here’s example #874,232 of how Fox News sucks at journalism:
-Fox’s Major Garrett reports that Paul Begala, CNN pundit and former President Clinton campaign staffer, is joining Senator Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
-Paul Begala is then flooded with phone calls and emails from various journalists asking him if this is true, notably Fox News never calls to verify.
-Begala denies the report to those who inquire and then writes Major Garrett an email saying the report is false.
-Garrett writes back, thanking Begala, but then later again repeats the rumor on air and adds that Begala was on a Clinton campaign conference call.
-Begala writes back a second time saying the rumors are false and that he was on no such call.
-Garrett writes back saying blah blah blah but this is my favorite bit from Garrett “The sourcing is strong, very strong, or I wouldn’t go with it.”. Haha, see that? Garrett apparently has a better sourcing on Begala’s activities then Begala himself. Oh Fox News, what are we going to do with you?
