Watching Those We Chose: Still unanswered -- What liberal media?
Watching Those We Chose: Still unanswered -- What liberal media?:
I think the key here is that people start with the conclusion that they want to come to and find the data to support it. If you are talking about the media as a whole, it is too large of a body to be on the left or on the right and I think that as a whole there is balance. You can talk about different people, or different shows, even different media outlets, being on the left or the right, but still these bodies are made up of a number of people who call the shots. It would be hard to hold a party line, even if they wanted to. Again you can talk about individuals, and you can point to patters, but patterns in individual behavior are first of all hard to prove.
One thing I have seen is that there are comments that are made by people in the media, that get spun by each side into something that fits their conclusions. What they spin it into is close enough to be true, that it could be - but not close enough that it must be.
"From left to right, top to bottom: The Two George Bushes in 1990;
President-elect Bill Clinton in 1992; Newt Gingrich in 1995; Ken Starr and Bill
Clinton, The Impeachment of the President 1998; President-elect George W. Bush
in 2000; Rudy Giuliani, Tower of Strength in 2001; President George W. Bush,
American Revolutionary in 2004.
Of American politicians since 1990, TIME
picked one Democrat twice versus five Republicans six times for Person of the
Year. Will news media in general continue to favor Republicans? You betcha.
They've been at it a long time."

Five reasons why Rosie O'Donnell can't host The Price is Right - TV Squad
Five reasons why Rosie O'Donnell can't host The Price is Right - TV Squad
There are more reasons, but these are some strong ones.
5. She is too self-absorbed to care about the contestants.
4. She looks too unattractive next to Barker's Beauties.
3. She insists on revealing too much personal information.
2. She'll change her sign off every week.
1. If I have to watch her five days a week, I'll neuter myself.
There are more reasons, but these are some strong ones.

know how much information you really need: she's getting a star, end of
story."

Sounds like taking care of such a large family is taking its toll on Brad. It also sounds like he does more of the parenting that Angelina. The article says that while they do have nannies for the children, he takes on a lot of the work himself. If the stress is getting to Brad and or Angelina, it could cause problems in their relationship.
"Brad, who had never experienced fatherhood till three years ago when he met
Jolie, who at that time was already mum to Cambodian son Maddox, has gone to
being a dad of four in a few short years."

» Speaking of Ann Coulter on Evil Beet Gossip:
That Ann Coulter has something to say about everything doesn't she? She makes a good point, and the original offense was for driving with a .08 - that is the lowest you can get a ticket for.
"“I think the judge has Judge Ito disease, he wanted to get his name in
the paper and he succeeded. And everyone around her, everyone involved in this
case -0- is not going to have a story to sell to inside edition. I think that No
one disputes that anyone else … a normal citizen wouldn’t get 45 days in this
case. Even Nicole Richie, who isn’t a normal citizen, didn’t get a sentence like
this.”

celebrity nation: Lindsay's mom to finally visit rehab:
Maybe I am not in the position to know what it is like for her mother, but I think that she should have been there the first day, I think the fact that his is her first visit to rehab to visit Lindsay is sad. Seems that as long as they are going out to clubs together, it isn't a problem, but rehab is.
"Lindsay Lohan's mom Dina is reportedly on her way to Los Angeles to visit her
daughter in rehab, ten days after the actress was admitted. 'First and foremost,
Dina is a mother, and Lindsay and Dina can't wait to see each other,' says a
source. 'Lindsay is in a great place, emotionally and physically, and this is
great for her.' Dina is the first family member to visit Lohan at Promises in
Malibu."

I still wonder what she was trying to do by hiding him for so long.
"Paparazzi finally caught the single mother of two in Hawaii, carrying her
up-til-now mysterious little formerly bundled-up bundle of joy, Jayden James.
Britney spent some time alone in Mexico last week, and is continuing her R&R
in Hawaii with the kids and cousin Alli. "

Bricks and Stones......may break my bones but names will never hurt me!: US Weekly Cover - Did Vanessa Hide Her Party Girl Past From Nick?:
Could Vanessa be the next Jessica, Nick wanted to settle down and maybe Vanessa isn't going to be the girl that wants to do that. Her popularity is growing due to the relationship, Jessica was more down to earth and unknown when they met and got married. Could fame bring the party girl out of Vanessa.
"'A lot of Nick's friends were complaining about what a party girl she
was,' says a Minnillo source. 'There were many nights in the beginning when
Vanessa was a total mess and Nick didn't know what to do.' 'Vanessa used to be a
completely crazy, wild girl,' confirms a Minnillo pal. 'She'd be the girl that
would jump on the tables at every nightclub.'"

Bricks and Stones......may break my bones but names will never hurt me!: Does Nicole Richie think she's next?:
I think what Nicole Richie did was far worse than blowing a .08 blood alcohol which is the limit for driving drunk and then mistakenly violating her probation. Richie drove the wrong way on the freeway high on drugs.
"Paris Hilton's good buddy Nicole Richie told David Letterman during
a taping for his talk show on Wednesday that she's worried about landing in the
pokey, too.
'I'm just keeping my fingers crossed, and, you know, of
course, I'm scared also, but, you know, I'm willing to face whatever
consequences come my way, and I take responsibility for what I've done,' she
said."

Allie Is Wired - The Entertainment Blog: Is Rosie the New Host of The Price Is Right?:
Why would Rosie even want the job, how is she going to be a bully to someone on a show like that. I don't think that Rosie is going to go for a deal unless it is for a talk show.
"New NBC programming chief Ben Silverman is openly talking about doing anything
to get Rosie O'Donnell. He wants her for a game show and a daytime talk show
similar to the 'The View'. What's also being talked about? CBS wants her for a
game show. If that game show happens to be 'The Price is Right,' rumor is
producers 'aren't in love with any of the current host contenders - George
Hamilton, Mark Steines, Todd Newton and Mario Lopez.' "

While this probably boils down to them using Paris for what everyone has used her for through out the years, publicity, she may have a point.I think the house arrest would have been enough of a punishment for Paris.
"Beth Chapman has spent 20 years in the bail bonds business, and says
she's never seen anyone who committed Paris' crime do that kind of jail time.
Beth is quoted as saying, 'That L.A. City Attorney [Rocky Delgadillo] is a joke.
Three days in isolation for a person like Paris is more than enough. What you
can't do is waste taxpayer money so a bunch of people can get their rocks
off?'"

Allie Is Wired - The Entertainment Blog: Spice Girls To Reunite:
I never really listened to the Spice Girls, but my impression of them is that they were a group that was more popular for their looks than their music. I guess they could get together, except some of them aren't hot anymore.
"Rumor has it that the female pop sensation of the '90's will be
spicing up our lives once more with a reunion tour this Christmas season. Ginger
and Baby Spice have been writing new material, and they want to take it
worldwide. Baby Spice just has to get un-pregnant first. People's source reports
that all the girls have signed on, even though Melanie Chisholm was a little
reluctant at first because of her 'solo career'. (Melanie Chisholm has a solo
career? Maybe it's in the UK.)"

A Socialite's Life: Mischa's Parents Are Worried
Who is she really so worried about, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie... oh yeah I think I see her parents concern now.
"The former 'O.C' actress' parents are worried their 21-year-old daughter - who
recently collapsed after accidentally mixing antibiotics with alcohol - could
follow in the footsteps of some of the troubled stars she has been partying with
including Lindsay Lohan, who checked into rehab last week. "

Please Stop Asking Courteney Cox About Jennifer Aniston
A Socialite's Life:Please Stop Asking Courteney Cox About Jennifer Aniston
It does seem rather silly to have an interview with Cox and then ask a bunch of questions about Jennifer Aniston. Being friends means that you are not supposed to tell secrets, if you want to know about Jennifer have an interview with her.
"In an interview with a journalist from Marie Claire, she says, 'I
think it might be getting a little better now, but for a while her life was
expected to be everyone's life. 'Look, I don't want to be rude or anything, but
I usually don't talk about Jennifer in interviews. People should stop worrying
about her life. 'I could talk about just how great she is doing at the moment,
but then it's just an interview about her. I understand your position because
her world is so public but, well, I can tell you we're both very fortunate to
have each other.'"

INTERNET WAS DOWN
What a great time for the internet to go down. What could be the biggest story of the year, and I am a day behind - or more. You all know what happened with Paris by now. The fiber optic cable that serves the area I live was cut, and it took out the internet for the whole area. Sorry about the news blackout.
