Not much is beneath the standards of right-wing blogger Matt Drudge, even insinuating Hillary Clinton's aide is leaving her husband to shack up with the presidential nominee. Former New York congressman Anthony Weiner today found himself in the middle of another sexting scandal, even after the first one derailed his political career and embarassed his wife, powerful Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
The political discourse of the nation is no longer just about policy differences. We have come to a point where each side believes the other is stupid or sinister, or both.
Warren Hinckle, the swashbuckling editor of Ramparts magazine , died Thursday. His daughter Pia cited complications from pneumonia as the cause of death.
The event will likely entail 120 minutes of the Fox News host offering the sentient tangelo peel open-ended softball questions from which Trump can spin out extended rants about every conspiracy theory and nasty, subversive rumor he has ever heard about Hillary Clinton, egged on by the chuckles of the live audience brought in for the private, closed-to-the-press affair. There is nothing new about Sean Hannity playing lapdog for a conservative political figure.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton may well be the best things that have happened to a free press in a long time. "Best" not in terms of ratings, circulation, advertising or such, though some media will see a temporary bump up.
In the great scheme of things a minor confusion or disturbance in the routine of less mainstream journalism, whether called progressive, left or radical - terms which themselves confuse more than they clarify - has no great consequences. No revolts occur and none are quelled.
An early-May poll showed Paul Ryan's primary challenger with the support of 14% of voters in Wisconsin's 1st District. Earlier this week, Paul Nehlen, the Wisconsin businessman looking to unseat the House speaker, wound up with a near identical level of support - just 15.9% - in the Tuesday primary.
"If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn't put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20%," Trump said Sunday in one of seven anti-media tweets. The GOP nominee tweeted about no other topics on Sunday.
BuzzFeed describes itself as a "social media and entertaining company." But if President Mauricio Macri thought the half-hour interview he granted to them on Wednesday would be mere fun, he was wrong.
On Thursday morning, the Daily Beast published an exceedingly gross and bizarre article by a straight, married male writer who lured in gay Olympians through hookup apps for no particular purpose. The entire piece is an astoundingly creepy exercise in Grindr-baiting, which involves a journalist accessing Grindr in an unlikely setting and ... seeing what happens.
Bill Clinton says it was a mistake for Hillary Clinton to maintain a personal email server even though her predecessors and her successor at the State Department did it. But the former president says his wife should have known that there would be a different set of rules applied to her if she ran for the presidency.
There's been a lot of ink, virtual and otherwise, spilled over the media's treatment of the Donald Trump Reality Show and Presidential Campaign Extravaganza, but over the past twenty-four hours, the excrement has become tangible in ways that it heretofore has not been. Whatever your politics, if you have ears, you know what Donald Trump meant when he said that "Second Amendment people" could do something about Hillary Clinton 's judicial appointments if she wins, and whether you view the comment as an incitement or a mere observation, it was a reckless and dangerous thing to say.
Brian Stelter, a CNN critic, took Fox News' Sean Hannity to task on Sunday, suggesting that the latter had committed journalistic malpractice by not pushing back against Donald Trump's theory that the 2016 election will be rigged against him. Hannity had asked Trump to explain his statement earlier in the day that the election is going to be rigged.
Dead soldiers, young mothers, little babies, foreign leaders, probing journalists, Muslims, Mexicans, political adversaries, fellow Republicans...is there anyone Donald Trump has NOT insulted/offended/twitted etc? One of the great mysteries of the US Presidential elections in 2016 is how the maverick billionaire Presidential nominee of the Republican Party is still in the race after offending multitudes and committing gaffes that would have destroyed a lesser candidate. Al Gore lost an election because of a condescending eye-roll, Gary Hart blew it on account of some monkey business, Michael Dukakis didn't recover from a cold response to a question about rape, and a sweaty Richard Nixon melted down in the heat of the television studio.

We sent the following navel-gazing questionnaire to 113 colleagues working in print, television, and digital media, asking that they use the opportunity to air their grievances and bare their souls, and promising anonymity in exchange for actually candid answers to our searching and occasionally uncomfortable questions. The full response is below ... 1. In your view, the biggest problem with the media these days is : The business model has caused publications to get "editor heavy" on their mastheads, with too few pubs giving writers the kinds of year-long contracts that give both sides-editor and writer-the stability to do their best work.
Republicans from all corners of the party scorned Ted Cruz Wednesday night after the Texas senator delivered a speech before the Republican National Convention that not only failed to endorse nominee Donald Trump, but encouraged audience members to not do so if it would violate their "conscience." "Cruz condemned to Republican hell," conservative-news mogul Matt Drudge tweeted, before placing a "HELL'S A-BURNIN'" banner on his popular website.
Residents along the U.S.-Mexico border are feeling ignored in the midst of a U.S. presidential election in which immigration, border security and a proposed wall are being hotly debated, a poll released Monday suggests. A Cronkite News-Univision News-Dallas Morning News border poll found a majority of urban residents surveyed on both sides of the border are against the building of a wall between the two countries and believe the campaign's tone is damaging relations.
Recently a couple of fellow journalists taking some needed time away showed up at Denver International Airport well ahead of schedule. After all, we in the media business have been warning that lines have stretched to sometimes three hours and more, given staffing problems at the security agency.
