One of the first things anyone should know about NPR host Terry Gross is that she deeply loves Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. Her almost 40-minute interview on Thursday's Fresh Air with Colbert wrapped up with a gooey valentine about what a comedic patriot he is. (We’ll come back to that.) She must have loved how Colbert, the one always making conservatives look like idiots who hate books…

Steven Pearlstein at The Washington Post and Timothy Egan at The New York Times both served as reporters before unleashing their opinions as columnists. Both are passionate liberals. Recently both men wrote arrogant jeremiads. So which article made its author look more like a jerk? It might depend on which group you sympathize with -- Pearlstein went after Mitt Romney types in finance, while…

Supporters of National Public Radio tout the depth and breadth of its foreign reporting from all corners of the globe. But how fair and balanced are those stories?

ABC Good Morning America weatherman Sam Champion will have his own “gay marriage” at the end of the year to avant-garde artist and photographer Rubem Robierb. “We’re getting married New Year’s Eve in Miami,” Champion said in the romantic/political spirit.
