Just a month before a critical election, there are no signs that the anti-Muslim mud-slinging campaign is going away.

When producers from ABC's 20/20 called, it was naïve of us to believe that they would do anything but use the worst interviews of the dozens at their disposal.

According to the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP), reported incidents of anti-LGBT violence increased by 24 percent from 2006 to 2007.

Liberals believe in individual liberties. And what does liberty mean? Freedom. So, exactly which freedoms are you so worried we're taking from you?

Why are average voters better at piercing Palin's hypocrisy than pundits who get paid to do so everyday?

More than 400 magazine publishing and editorial executives gathered earlier this week in San Francisco for the annual American Magazine Conference.

Eventually, major advertisers will realize that their interests are best served by media units that are fully integrated with marketing and creative teams.

I'm hoping Schieffer wil take a cue from that moment, and take every opportunity to remind each man when his time for speechifying is over, and push them to actually answer questions they are asked.

It was always inspiring to hear Gil's Rossellini raspy voice rattling across the ocean. Whenever we would speak, he would inevitably punctuate his remarks by exclaiming, "Rory, every morning when I wake up, I thank God I'm alive!"

Many employees, and we number in the thousands, who work on the entertainment side of Fox often feel embarrassed, ashamed, and angry at the blatant, one-sided, dis-informational tactics of the producers, staff, and on-air "talent" at Fox News.

As the Wall Street crisis and recent bombing in Pakistan have made all too clear, there are crucial global, financial and social issues that the next president will be focused to grapple with. This week OffTheBus writers have tossed aside the lipstick and plunged into some of the most pressing issues in the election by analyzing key policy differences between Senators Barack Obama and John McCain.

Brazile wowed the assembled crowd at St. Johns with a combination of thoughtful insights, dry humor, insider anecdotes, and culinary metaphors.

If Palin won't repent for us and won't repent for America, I hope she'll at least remember Lee Atwater's dying remorse and restrain herself for her own sake.

McCain is the most public of public figures right now. We have the right to know about his health history because it could interfere with his ability to lead and become a national security issue.

I visited the Nightline production offices and sat in on the "Eleven O'clock Meeting," a daily routine, during which staff gather to decide which topic Nightline will focus on that night.

It is up to the media to point out that the attacks on Gwen Ifill are sheer political gamesmanship. Treating them as if they has any legitimacy is unacceptable.

Maybe one of Palin's "best friends" said something along the lines of "You know, this straight thing is okay, but I think I'm going to go with being gay, because they have it so great in this country, and everyone's so nice to them!

Obama might become the first president in U.S. history to be able to get real participation from the people by harnessing the web to weave new coalitions and bring people together to solve problems.

Turn on your television, turn on your radio, or open your local newspaper, and you're not going to see what the top economists are saying on the bailout.

How Sarah Palin will survive a day in Washington when she can't make it for five minutes in line for a sandwich is beyond me.

The American people feel sick and frightened and confused, and they want someone who can reassure them, not only that everything is going to be all right, but that a calm, sure, steady hand is on the Ship of State, quietly steering her past the hidden icebergs.
Brian Ross | Posted 09.30.2008 | Home
Given that Bush has grounded the ship of state on an iceberg turned loose by global warming, the failure to hold Palin up to the same standards as any other vice presidential candidate would be an act of gross irresponsibility.
