"The Daily Show" visits NYT, chats with editor Keller

paidContent.org | Gawker | DailyShow.com
"Bill Keller offered himself up as a very amiable, if awkward, straight man," writes David Kaplan. A Gawker scribe says the Times visit "might be the most painfully funny 'Daily Show' skit ever produced." || Watch it.
> "Daily Show" reporter on his NYT segment: "I got out my investigative reporter notepad, and I went to town doing what I do best, which is juvenile ridicule."

Alex Jones: Globe vote was like mouthing off to a cop

The Daily Beast
There's momentary satisfaction, but you pay a severe price. Former Times reporter Alex Jones writes: "One can only imagine the conversations between spouses in the wake of the 'no' vote as the reality of what has been unleashed hit home." The Globe's unions have almost no leverage, he points out, and a strike would be suicidal.

Interesting and not reported...MNI Short interest INCREASED!

As MNI's stock price was manipulated upwards to 1.00 for a brief time the past two weeks, Short Sellers placed bets against the company to the tune of an additional 200k shares bucking the covering trend.

Significant news? Only in as much as it demonstrates that the markets place the value of MNI as overpriced at .75 cents and there are apparently shares available to short.

Why did 140 Globe staffers pass on the contract vote?

Boston Herald

Joe Fitzgerald wonders why 140 Globe employees decided not to vote on their contract. "Newspaper people are a passionate bunch. That’s part of the kick of being in this business; you're surrounded by a cast of colorful characters who are aware of and engaged in the issues of the day. Passivity is not in their makeup. ...What those 140 declared by default is that they're obviously in the wrong business."

The corrupt media reporting only the liberal slant, and that would surprise who? Journalists losing their jobs, really?

What the Media Missed in Museum Shooting: Far-Right Reaction
In all of the coverage of the murder at the Holocaust Museum today, much was made of the white supremacist writings of the alleged killer, James Von Brunn. But little appeared on the reaction to the tragic shooting within far-right circles.

U.S. Postal Service Caves- Fitz & Jen
Jen: Back in May, the U.S. Postal Service announced it was going to set new rates that would essentially favor direct mailers while [punishing newspapers.] The Pony Express has thought better of that move, since the newspaper industry spends north of $800 million sending total market coverage products among other editions through the mail.

The Newspaper Association of America said the USPS is now reducing rates for high density flats mail effective July 19 saving the industry an estimated $3million by the end of September.

Maybe because they are still in shock over attacks by far left militants over the past few days. One of the Muslim leftists killed a soldier and now this from a 9/11 truther and anti corporate. democrat with National Socialist ties?

Exactly what far left circles would they be referring too?

The fact is, and will always remain, the guy was a journalist, with a journalism degree and a great deal of hatred for his country just like our leftist media.

Don't you right-wingers ever get tired of endlessly repeating what you've heard from Limbaugh and Hannity? Have you ever tried listening to liberal or even moderate voices for balance, or even better, thinking and reasoning for yourself?

10:42 You mean like yourself? I think we get enough of that on here to satiate any requirement we have for reading left-wing "thought". You've had your shot and all we get is the kind of condescending BS like you just spewed. Way to go, I'm sure hearts and minds are swinging in your direction even as I type.

Barry O probably didn’t read or hear of this insane outburst from the fake reverend as he sat with his feet on an antique desktop. Geeez, what a low class thing to do to 'our' property.

-Jeremiah Wright on Obama, "Them Jews Aren't Going to Let Him Talk To Me"-

Hees Baaaaak ! President Obama's former religious mentor has crawled out of his sewer of hatred to speak to the Newport News Daily Press. The "preacher" who once claimed that the United States created aids to hurt the Black Man, now claims that it is the Jews that are keeping President Obama from talking to him.

Todd Palin is a Native American?
There are rumors out of Alaska that Todd Palin is of Native American ancestry. That would also make the Palin children of Native American blood. Wouldn’t that be something if the liberal media and the Democrats have been attacking minority people? The very people they exploit when they want something, but ignore the rest of the time. I will check that out, and report back ASAP. Of course, using the ADN precedent of publishing rumors, maybe we should forge ahead and make the sick-o media prove they are just rumors.

You have to be quick to listen to liberal voices, they last about a week. Air American is a good example, no one believed a word of their USA hatred, except the brain dead. Rush is gaining more listeners by the day as Obama is tanking with his Socialist plans. You are going to be lonely as you repeat the Democrats talking points against successful conservative talk show hosts. The voters that were bamboozled by the ‘Obama Fraud Machine’ are starting to feel the pain, of not knowing what ‘Change’ really meant.

The man that killed the museum guard was a Democrat!
The instantaneous collective kneejerk reaction from the liberals yesterday to blame the museum guard killing on the consevatives was disgraceful. Turns out this man is a registered Democrat, just hates everyone. I wonder if the cartoon muckrakers will revamp their garbage?

Don’t miss the Video: Jon Voight's Speech to Republican Dinner
“Bringing An End To This False Prophet Obama!”
Excerpt:
“The veteran actor noted how Democrats and the media were content to wear down public opinion of George W. Bush with a never-ending flood of negativity while building up Barack Obama as a near-messianic savior who dare not be questioned:”
