Can Someone Explain Why Sally Quinn Still Has a Job? (Blue Girl, Red State)

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 20:02:00 GMT

I mean, really. She's touted as a contributor to the "On Faith" segment of the WashingtonPost.com website. She took communion at the funeral of Tim Russert and she's not a Catholic. (If you've been to Sunday School, you know of what I speak when it comes to sorting out that issue.) Here she tries to legitimize a discussion of Astrology, faith, and the Presidency. Note: I was going to embed the...

"AP May Now Be Dead As an Objective News Organization" (Ed Driscoll.com)

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 19:03:14 GMT

That's Bill O'Reilly's take, in response to AP disparaging Tony Snow in their obit, after canonizing Tim Russert. But then AP already announced that they're quite happy to ditch objectivity, as I noticed in my previous post....

Tony Snow Laid To Rest, No Snide Commentary This Time From AP (Chicagoray)

noreply@blogger.com (Chicago Ray) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:55:00 GMT

That is in reference to their tasteless obituary criticizing the Renaissance man before he could even be laid to rest, something they avoided when lionizing Tim Russert a few weeks earlier.. Although they do fail to mention that a very unusual occurrence took place due to the obvious security and succession concerns to pay tribute to Mr Snow; that the President and Vice President were both...

Newspapers take notice - blogs are the future (Don Dodge on The Next Big Thing)

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:11:53 GMT

Blogs are going professional and replacing newspapers for insightful, fast breaking, news and analysis. The same thing happened to network TV news years ago. Chris Mathews, Tim Russert, Bill O'Reilly, and others replaced the "just report the facts" news casts with more personal, insightful, opinionated commentary. TechMeme has several blog articles over the past week that made me think about...

YouTube's Disrespect For Tony Snow (NewsBusters)

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:04:52 GMT

When media personality Tim Russert, once a top adviser to leading Democratic officeholders in New York, died of a heart attack in June, editors at YouTube rightly paid tribute to him by promoting videos that celebrated his work and life. They didn't extend the same courtesy to conservative journalist Tony Snow over the weekend. Instead, YouTube chose to mark Snow's passing by featuring a liberal...

Many people know that Tony Snow was a Roman Catholic. But you wouldn't know it by reading the (well-deserved) testimonials to Snow on his death. ProEcclesia sums it up , quoting other blogs: Tony Snow, journalist and aide to two presidents, died on Saturday at the age of 53.

Remembering Tony Snow (Gay Patriot)

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:15:07 GMT

In my humble opinion, Tony Snow had as much — if not more — impact on the American political landscape as Tim Russert. Both were kind, big-hearted family men with a unbridled passion for the country they lived in and tried to make a better place from their positions of influence. One was a life-long liberal (Russert) and received [...]
