In an interview with Alex Weprin posted Monday at TVNewser, she lectures her potential TV audience to just forget Spitzer's sordid past with high-priced hookers, since he has such a swelling, itching brain that it shatters glass with its enormous breadth: "Outside of New York most people don't know Eliot, they kind of…

Appearing on Monday's CBS Early Show, former President Jimmy Carter came up with his own version of history while remarking on Democratic chances in this year's midterm elections: "...when I was in office at this time, I had a 66% favorable rating and we had a very successful midterm election."

As Justice Elena Kagan takes the bench on her first "first Monday in October," the new Special Report by Clay Waters of TimesWatch strongly underlines the media favoritism offered by the New York Times.
