"Sources inside Court TV are saying that one of the reasons why Nancy Grace has
decided to leave Court TV (besides the fact that they are changing their name
and what they cover) is that she really wants to host the ABC morning show, and
couldn't seriously discuss terms with ABC while she was still under contract."
"The 'IoS' today reveals a draft for a new law that would give Western oil

the next 30 years"

"May 10, 2007 — EDITOR'S NOTE: News Corp., The Post's corporate parent, employs
some 47,000 people on five continents. Yesterday, Chairman and CEO Rupert
Murdoch announced the company's dramatic plans to become fully carbon-neutral by
2010. Below are some of his remarks to News Corp. employees explaining why, and
how, we'll do it - and that this is only the start. "
"It's all so confusing. Just two weeks ago, Rudy came out opposed to civil
unions, even though he was previously for civil unions. Now today Rudy is again
for civil unions. While it's nice that Rudy is finally telling the truth about
his being a liberal, it's still disturbing that he's flip-flopped twice in the
past two weeks on this issue. He did the same thing on abortion (the media has
been paying attention to the abortion flip-flop, but missed the gay one). So
which Rudy is which, why did he flip flop (twice), and how do we know he won't
flip flop again when it's next convenient? I mean, the man lied to the American
people during the presidential debate, got caught, and now is changing his
position again as a result. Lying is kind of a big deal."
"So which one is it? Is Mitt Romney's Mormon religion off limits for everybody
but Mitt Romney? It's okay for him to give a religious reason for policy
decisions, but not okay for anyone else to inquire more about Romney's religion.
What other policy decisions is Mitt Romney going to make based on the Mormon
religion? Romney, like so many folks on the religious right (even though Romney
isn't really religious right, he's a far-left liberal who's only now pretending
to be a right-winger) firmly believe that their religion should be the basis of
every political decision they make, but when you ask just what their religion is
all about, they get all offended, when they're the ones who made their religion
an issue to start with.
And let's not ignore what's really going on
here. Romney is worried that the religious right, and a lot of Americans, won't
vote for him because he's a Mormon. So he's now quoting the Bible to show that
he's really one of us. The real reason most Americans won't vote for Romney is
because he's a lying hypocrite whose views on everything from guns, to gays, to
the environment, to abortion change every two years based on the political
winds."

"Showing profound disregard for free speech and freedom of the press, Tufts
University has found a conservative student publication guilty of harassment and
creating a hostile environment for publishing political satire. Despite
explicitly promising to protect controversial and offensive expression in its
policies, the Tufts Committee on Student Life decided yesterday to punish the
student publication The Primary Source (TPS) for printing two articles that
offended African-American and Muslim students on campus. The Foundation for
Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), which has spearheaded the defense of TPS,
is now launching a public campaign to oppose Tufts’ outrageous actions.
“We
now know that Tufts’ promises of free expression are hollow,” FIRE President
Greg Lukianoff said. “By punishing political expression—the type of expression
at the very core of the right to free speech—Tufts has shown that, in spite of
its promises, it has no regard for its students’ fundamental rights. Such
hypocrisy must not go unchallenged.”"
On the May 9 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, discussing the
alleged conspiracy to attack Fort Dix, N.J., Rush Limbaugh baselessly speculated that
the 1998-1999 resettlement program for Kosovar refugees from the Balkans could have brought
several of the alleged conspirators to the United States: "The Clinton
administration may have brought these people -- we don't know if five of the six
were in part of this group, but oh, man!" In fact, only one of the six
individuals involved in the alleged Fort Dix plot was reportedly part of the Kosovo refugee
program. Limbaugh has yet to acknowledge that his speculation was wrong.
"Obama was right. In the US, Japanese-made cars would get 45 m.p.g. assuming
they were subjected to the US fuel economy test cycle. Here's the wonky paper he
based his claim on. [MARC AMBINDER]"
"The domestics certainly haven't flooded showrooms with gas/electric hybrids
like the Japanese. But in fairness, the newest Japanese assembly plant in the
U.S. produces 14-m.p.g. Toyota Tundra pickups, not Prius hybrids rated at 60
m.p.g.
'While our fuel standards haven't moved from 27.5 miles per
gallon in two decades, both China and Japan have surpassed us, with Japanese
cars now getting an average of 45 miles to the gallon,' Obama said.
'I'm
not sure where he got that figure,' Toyota spokesman Mike Michels said. 'No
carmaker gets 45 m.p.g. Ours is closer to 30 m.p.g.'"

"6. O'Reilly created a chart purporting to show a vast array of powerful forces

5. Bill O'Reilly claimed that the French economy was in trouble
because he called for a boycott of that nation for their opposition to the Iraq
war. As evidence he cited a publication called the Paris Business Review. No
such publication exists (well, maybe).
4. Bill O'Reilly had an on-air freak
out when NY Times columnist and economics professor Paul Krugman cited research
from Media Matters for America. He went on to compare Media Matters to Fidel
Castro and the KKK. Nowhere on Media Matters' website is there any expressed
support for white supremacy or communism.
