The Bill Moyers Journal is one of the television shows that I tape every week. I love his take on different subjects including the media, Iraq, the US attorney scandal and earmarks. He had Keith Olbermann on a couple of months ago. Now, it is Olbermann’s turn to have Bill on. They discuss the McCain campaign’s spin on the Newsweek’s cover story on Barack Obama. They also cover Jeremiah Wright and our bumper sticker news coverage. There is no in depth coverage of almost anything. ...

While John McCain has chosen to avoid a repudiation of Pastor Hagee's endorsement of the presumed GOP nominee, it appears that the damage control has commenced. Today, Hagee issued a written apology to Catholics and the apology was accepted by Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League. Ahh, yes...a marriage made in heaven...isn't that wonderful? Like many evangelical pastors, John Hagee is no stranger to controversial statements. With his endorsement of the Arizona Senator, many of the remarks attributed to Hagee have resurfaced...and they are every bit as incendiary as the words that were spoken by Barack Obama's ...

“He’s been dominating cable news like a missing white girl.” - The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart on the recent media obsession with Obama’s (former?) pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright ...

Hillary Clinton put on a strong facade last night as she cheered supporters on in Indiana, but it's the cancelation of all public appearances today (reported by Talking Points Memo) and the anointment of Obama as nominee by Tim Russert, Matt Drudge, and MSNBC's Chuck Todd that have people wondering about the direction the Clinton campaign will take next. Obama won a 14-point victory in North Carolina, and lost by just 23,000 votes in Indiana. The Washington Post reports: "Both candidates looked ahead to contests next week in West Virginia and May 20 in Oregon and Kentucky, but Clinton was ...

Barack Obama was the sole guest on NBC’s Meet the Press this morning. In case you missed it, here’s the full 48 minutes. (You may want to fast forward through the first 15 minutes. It’s all about Jeremiah Wright.) (Transcript here.) ShareThis ...

Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow discuss John McCain’s comments from a recent townhall meeting. John McCain was talking about his new energy plan and he said, “That will then prevent us from having ever to send our men and women in conflict again in the Middle East.” Wow! Where’s Reverend Jeremiah Wright to cover this up? ...

Revolting journalist John Gibson, who previously made fun of the late Heath Ledger for playing gay, took a swipe at our favorite lesbian television/radio journo, Rachel Maddow. Immediately following a discussion about Maddow’s Jeremiah Wright thoughts, Gibson played a clip which said, “Ooh, lesbians! Yummy!” That’s right. Lesbians are yummy, you schmuck. [HuffPo] ...

The latest Rasmussen Reports findings on the Rev. Jeremiah Wright media circus are not very good for the Barack Obama campaign. The majority of the country believes Obama's denunciation was political expedience. [The] national telephone survey found that just 30%... ...

From an ordained Baptist minister. Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP... Iowa Politics reports: "Clive businessman Marty Parrish was escorted from Sen. John McCain's town hall meeting by Des Moines police and members of the Secret Service after asking McCain if he had called his wife Cindy an expletive in 1992...Parrish said his intentions were simple in posing the question to McCain. The former Joe Biden campaign worker stressed he is very concerned about the Republican presidential nominee's temperament. 'We have a man whose temper can get the best of him,' Parrish said. 'What I am worried about is his temper. ...

The latest national polls shows negative publicity is hurting presidential candidate Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton is closing in on the gap leaving Obama with only a narrow average of a 1.6 spread in the lead. The margin is narrowing but it’s not because Clinton is gaining. Instead it is Obama who is sinking. The fuss is over Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Wright was Obama’s pastor for the last 20 years and now Obama is getting a heaping dose of flack for his supposed “casual” relationship with the Trinity United Church of Christ’s pastor. I, personally being an Obama supporter, chose ...
