Worst Blogger Ever

user-pic

Shorter Tim Graham: The MSM is ignoring stories I found on the front page of The Washington Post.

Obviously, lots of stuff doesn't make the primetime network newscasts. They're very short and don't do many substantive stories.

"Worst Blogger EVAR" is the correct idiom.

Fox News had enough time last night to cover a story about a former porn star campaigning for the job of governor of CA. She did not look "balanced" to me. "Fair" perhaps.

Look at the stories that are covered by the networks. They cherry pick stories that have the most glitz. Natalie Holloway anyone? OJ? Monica? Come on.

Please. If the networks had not spent many reports on the Duke Cunningham and Tom DeLay issues, that might be a worthwhile rebuttal. But the networks DID spend a lot of time on Cunningham and DeLay.

In other words, to the networks, IOKIYAD.

Stories about the Speaker of the House get more play? Shocking.

Dennis Hastert?

Good point. Delay was only the House Majority Leader. My bad.

Hey, give him a break, at least he's saying a newspaper did right, not your usual blog triumphalist slash at that big evil "us v. them" phantom called "corporate MSM." There is light at the end of the tunnel in this, I see improvement in this simple gesture of recognizing a difference between newspapers and TV news, will wonders never cease.
