Arlen Specter Embattled; Media Long Used Senator as Club to Bash 'Far
Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter could find himself out of a job Tuesday night, if his newly-adopted Democratic Party refuses to renominate the 80-year-old incumbent for a sixth term.

Brian Williams at Notre Dame Graduation: Katrina Response Was 'Benign
NBC anchor Brian Williams succeeded Barack Obama as the commencement speaker at Notre Dame on Sunday. Williams sounded like Obama and other Democrats by mentioning the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and somehow working that tragedy backwards to rerun NBC's atrociously biased coverage of Hurricane Katrina. Williams repeated himself on Sunday by calling it "benign neglect turned fatal." (It's…

During a segment where the Today cast celebrated the fifth anniversary of YouTube, in which they highlighted such clips as the Numa Numa Kid and other faves, Meredith Vieira, on Monday's show, threw an unexpected cheap shot at former Senator George Allen's way.

CBS's Schieffer Praises Cronkite, Ignores Allegations Late CBS Anchor
At the end of Sunday's Face the Nation on CBS, host Bob Schieffer gushed over a recent trip to the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library and one exhibit in particular: "honoring Walter Cronkite....those moments in American history captured by TV...when Walter always seemed to be there....the little things we never saw, Walter's scripts, his pipe, and his office, just the way it was."

MRC-TV: Bozell Discusses Kagan/Miers Double Standard on 'Fox & Friends
In 2005, then-Senator Barack Obama cast doubt on President Bush's pick of Harriet Miers in part because "her [legal] experience does not include serving as a judge" and as such "we have yet to know her views on many of the critical constitutional issues facing our country today."
