Huffington Post, Created by Alleged Serial Plagiarist, Accuses George
It's a weighty charge, plagiarism. But your credibility in making it tends to dissipate when you do so on a site founded and run by an alleged serial plagiarist.
Arianna Huffington has been accused of lifting portions of a number of her books from other authors, and in one case had to dole out a 5-figure settlement to put plagiarism charges to rest. Her site has also taken heat from…

"Do Wall Street Journal reporters read the Wall Street Journal?" Palin shot back in a Facebook…
Andrew Sullivan on BBC Radio 4: Palin Represents 'An America That Is D
"Sarah Palin represents an America this is absolutely, definitionally white, that's very much rural America."
That's how The Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan summed up the former Alaska governor in his appearance on the November 7 BBC Radio 4 "Americana" program.

Kurtz: Rove's Fundraising For GOP 'a Lot Worse' Than Olbermann Donatio
On Friday's Situation Room, The Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz stated that the fundraising activities of Fox News contributors Dick Morris and Karl Rove somehow rose to a worse level than Keith Olbermann's maximum individual donations to three Democrats, which violated MSNBC's policy.

Time's Joe Klein: Blue Dog Ranks Thinned By Voters Because They Didn't
As a dog returns to his vomit, so a liberal journalist returns to his talking points.
In a November 4 Swampland blog post, Time magazine's Joe Klein laid a fair share of blame for Democrats losing the House of Representatives on "conservative" Blue Dogs and their alleged reticence to spend taxpayer dollars:
Time's Klein to Keith Olbermann: 'You, Sirrrr, Have Gotten a Bit Too F
Although the Rally to Restore Sanity definitely had a decidedly liberal tinge to it, Comedy Central's Jon Stewart did his level best to ensure his official message was that of "a pox on both your houses" to raised voices on the Right and Left in cable news media.
Of course the thin-skinned host of MSNBC's "Countdown" won't have any of it, leaving liberal fans of both Stewart and Olbermann…
Newspaper Circ Drops Another 5%; WSJ Is Sole Meaningful Gainer
This past week, we learned that it was another year, another dive for newspaper circulations: 5% for dailies, and 4.5% on Sundays, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. That's not as bad as some past declines, but it's still going the wrong way.
As usual, they'll blame the Internet, and reject the possibility that persistent, pervasive bias and blind adherence to politically correct…

Soros Donates $1.8 Million to NPR, Juan Williams Fired Days Later
"Follow the money," the left insisted when News Corporation donated $1 million to the Republican Governor's Association. The implication was that since News Corp. gave lots of money to Republicans (nearly 10 times as much as it did to Democrats), Fox News coverage that casted the GOP in a positive light could fairly be seen as a direct result of that contribution.
By the standard much of the…
Hollywood TV Producer Slams Creationists, Traditionalists on Twitter
Voting is encouraged, unless you don’t agree with me – then you can go pound sand. That’s essentially the message ABC TV producer Danny Zuker tweeted on October 26. “Next Tues. please vote,” the “Modern Family” writer tweeted. “Unless you're a racist/homophobic/evolution denier.
