NBC’s Andrea Mitchell Enthralled by ‘Remarkable Job’ Done By Oba

Moyers: NPR Is Like Art, Unlike Talk Radio, the 'Right-wing Romper Roo
Former PBS omnipresence Bill Moyers is at it again, agitating against Republicans for daring to oppose National Public Radio subsidies.

Krauthammer: 'Nuclear Energy Is Dead' After Japanese Crisis
It was likely not a surprise to "Inside Washington" viewers that most of the usual suspects on the panel Friday saw the crisis in Japan as not being good for the future of nuclear powered electrical plants in this country.

Palin's Terminal Velocity
"She reminds me of my wife."

New York Times Quotes of Note: Radical Chic
Radical Chic: Times Relaunches Mag With Hagiography of Terrorist Helper
“Such an outpouring of rage at a 40-year-old woman, mother to a toddler, who was convicted in her mid-20s of abetting a terrorist plot that never took place, is a measure of the degree to which Peruvians are still traumatized by the violence that convulsed their country during the years when the Shining Path warred…

In the 'Employer Spotlight,' NPR Calls Itself 'Privately Supported
National Public Radio is in the "Featured Employers Spotlight" in Sunday's Washington Post. That could be because NPR has posted ads for 24 job openings at NPR, including the vacated spot of Ellen Weiss, the senior vice president for news that canned Juan Williams over the phone. But even in the want ads, NPR can't be honest about its support from taxpayers:
