News Media « BRAZENLY LIBERAL…

Sometimes patriotism means supporting the government. Sometimes it means defending the country against those who would destroy it during their brief tenure.

In refusing to be bullied into silence, Wired has shown true patriotism.

A file detailing aspects of AT&T’s alleged participation in the National Security Agency’s warrantless domestic wiretap operation is sitting in a San [...]

A “partial apology” from Truthout. A FULL apology from Brazenly Liberal

Last week, we posted a blog linking to this article at Truthout. Karl Rove had been indicted, they said, and had 24 hours to get his affairs in order before an announcement was made.

Since then, there has been a lot of debate around the blogosphere as to the veracity of this story. As [...]

YOWCH!! This one’s gotta hurt!

How conservative is the Chicago Tribune? Well, the last Democrat they endorsed for President was Horace Greeley in 1872. We don’t know if it was the mortification of losing to the scandalous Ulysses S. Grant or what, but the only Democrat who has gained their presidential endorsement in the intervening 134 years was [...]

If Colbert wasn’t funny, why is C-Span so eager to cash in on his performance?

Of course, the fact is the man was damn funny. Not only that, he displayed brass ones so big you have to wonder how he manages to sit down.

Now it’s going to come back to [...]

President Finally Calls on Helen Thomas, Says He Only Semi-Regrets It

She grills him. He implodes. Stuttering, stammering, dodging the question, going off on a tangent. It’s a sad thing when an 85 year old woman has more balls than the President of the United States.

NEW YORK Unlike several of his predecessors, going back decades, President Bush has largely avoided calling on veteran reporter [...]

Who put the nads on Chris Matthews?

I accidentally watched Chris Matthews yesterday. Ok, more lazily than accidentally. To reach the remote, I would have had to sit up and move to the other end of the sofa.

And what to my wondering eyes should appear
but a non-suckup Chris twisting GOP ear!

So now we know what it takes to make him [...]
