PSoTD

A woman I know said a friend of hers had a cousin who has a neighbor that works with a lady that said that she heard at a bar that there were some people conspiring against America.

Talk about laughable - if there's ANYTHING that "Pajamas Media" stands for or exists for, it's to be in the tank of the Republican Party.

David Broder's op-eds are not predictable. The reason isn't because of what his opinion will be on a given topic, but what his topic matter of choice is. But he is consistently conservatively shallow in his thinking and can be counted on to display a lack of understanding to how those not in the mediacracy sees things.

I find the disdain to which he considers the immediately polling after the debate quite telling. Any "pro-tilt" towards Obama as a result of the debate is about the political and financial climate, not about how Obama and McCain actually performed during the debate. Whether this is true or not isn't proved by anything and exists only in the minds of Broder and people like him. It diminishes the assessment skills of people who watched the debate in a preconceived way - short of McCain barfing on himself trying to dislodge his tie which he had swallowed while angrily bellowing to kill Iranians, David S. Broder was going to declare McCain the winner in this debate. The only question was whether he was going to write about it.

I think this TimesPeople experiment might be interesting. I signed up to see how it works. If you're looking for me, I'm PSoTD, as usual.

A first thing, single must item MUST BE THE DECONSOLIDATION OF NEWS MEDIA. Because McKay is right.

Every time I see one of this guy's AP articles, I wonder: doesn't his editors ask him to cover something important in the campaign?

Maybe Associated Press doesn't pay well, why else would Nedra Pickler be a lead political reporter for any campaign?

So it's Charlie Gibson.

That the Anchorage Daily News would become a must-read for bloggers in this election?

I think so. Know why? Last week was the last week of summer, this week is the first real week of school around the country. Know what happens this week? Parents are home, parents control the later evening television.

I gotta tell you, the Osceola News-Gazette has one crummy web site. I don't live there, I don't read it, all I'm looking for is an obituary that I believe was published there last week, and they can't seem to provide in a functional way. Talk about standing out in a very poor way...
