Part two of Michael Moore’s appearance on The Situation Room, which aired today (Part one, broadcast yesterday is available for viewing here).
Moore will appear on Larry King Live tonight from about 9PM EST to 9:30 EST with CNN’s Sanjay Gupta, who claimed that some facts in Moore’s film had been “fudged.” Moore considers that libel, […]
A reader named Carlson writes in to update us on the “Giuliani- Real Balls” mock advertisement that I posted last a couple of days ago:
I saw you posted the “Real Balls” ad
last week. I did
some sleuthing on MySpace and there’s some woman there who’s been pushing the clip on some of the conservative MS groups. […]
Fox Attacks, a campaign of Robert Greenwald’s Brave New Films (the makers of the excellent OutFoxed) to steer Democrats away from the Fox News debate in September, has a new video out. This time, the subject is Fox’s pro-Exxon etc bias on environmental issues.
Previous Fox Attacks videos have focused on racial issues, so this environmental […]
What follows is the trailer for the upcoming climate change documentary “11th Hour,” produced and hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio. Looks pretty good, and it seems to be more focused on solutions, whereas “An Inconvenient Truth” (which I liked a lot) was more science-based than solutions based. “11th Hour” will be in theaters nationally starting August […]
On April 1st 2001, Canadian television station CBC aired a comedy special called “Talking to Americans” which featured host Rick Mercer traveling around the US and asking Americans questions designed to show how little they knew about Canada. One of the show’s segments, shot in Arkansas, even managed to fool governor Mike Hucakbee, a Republican […]
Humor from the guys from Red State Update. Hat tip goes to my man Alan over at Hot Potato Mash.
Last night (Tuesday), the first Bush Administration cabinet-member ever appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (previously aides such as former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card have appeared on the program however). Margaret Spellings, the Secretary of Education took the plunge that no other official in the entire executive branch was willing […]
Today on NBC’s Meet The Press with Tim Russert, probable presidential hopeful Newt Gingirch suggested that the United States could somehow win an Iraqi civil war he said, “even if you accept that this is a civil war.”
Gingrich compared winning the Iraqi civil war to winning the American civil war, but convniently left out the […]
Even if her producers wrote it, or stole it from a WSJ op-ed, she’s making sense at least this once:
In what was perhaps a freudian slip, President Bush slipped up in an interview last night with PBS host Charlie Rose. “Give my plan a chance to work” is what Bush probably meant to say, regarding his surge policy in Iraq.
What he actually said was: “Give my chance a plan to work.”
A simple mixup or […]
Mary Tillman (mother of Pat Tillman) testified before the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform today that military officials treated her family disrespectfully because of their religion after they did not accept the official story behind her son’s death.
Jon Stewart has figured out why the President’s constant claims of progress in Iraq don’t line up with the facts: we’ve just been looking at the war backwards. Read on for the video.
Holy crap. You’ve got to watch this- it’s buzzing around the internet extremely quickly. Bill O’Reilly’s head almost exploded while arguing with Geraldo Riviera on O’Reilly’s show.
O’Reilly said a drunk driving death had to do with illegal immigration, while Geraldo said it had purely to do with drunk driving, and that O’Reilly was just trying […]
This is absolutely unbelievable. Fox News misreports its own poll on who is the most “foolish” in order to make Brittney Spears come in first instead of President Bush, who actually won. You’ve got to watch this; the whole thing was totally planned. Pay attention to the results screen.
I stumbled across this video just yesterday. It’s apparently of Pat Robertson on CNN’s Larry King Live back in 1992. About halfway through, the show cuts to commercial break and you can see leaked footage of Robertson and his aides discussing the show’s callers so far, and how they think they’re “homos” because of the […]
