Newshounds Media Digest
Issue #35 - Week of 6/5-6/11/05

1. Nancy: On 6/8 on Special Report, Brit Hume interviewed alleged Democrat Susan Estrich. The reactionary echo chamber is in full attack mode where Howard Dean is concerned, and Estrich laid to rest any doubt about where her loyalties and interests lie: sneering, smug and self-satisfied -- she gave quite a performance, and not one iota of it was professional, or insightful, or worthy of national air time. http://www.newshounds.us/2005/06/09/susan_estrich_whores_for_the_rnc.php#more


2. ChrisH: When random accusations and disproven denials fail, Bush breaks out the phony compassion and ends-justify-the means shtick. http://www.newshounds.us/2005/06/08/fox_big_story_on_downing_street_memo.php#more


3. Deborah: Hannity will be airing an interview with Dick Cheney, 6/13, on H&C and Cheney made a nasty comment about Howard Dean. Will anyone protest? www.newshounds.us/2005/06/12/will_republicans_object_to_this_comment_about_dean.php


4. Donna: Surprisingly, with all of the talk of the Downing Street Memo, a little thread on whether Fox is showing some sexual bias seemed to strike a nerve and really brought out the opinions. http://www.newshounds.us/2005/06/08/sexual_bias_on_fox.php#more


5. Ellen: As Bush's approval sinks, FOX tries to buoy Condi Rice with hot air. http://tinyurl.com/b89mz


6. Judy: After former President Jimmy Carter said that prisoner abuse in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay is an embarrassment to the US's reputation, John Gibson attacked Carter's presidential tenure as an embarrassment, but the true embarrassment was Gibson's false claims of terrible suffering and double-digit unemployment under Carter. http://www.newshounds.us/2005/06/09/nobel_laureate_carter_an_embarrassment.php


7. Marie Therese: Bill O'Reilly interviewed Arianna Huffington (and interrupted her every chance he got) then issued a challenge: "If anybody out there - including you, Arianna - can give me the name of somebody the government says was mistakenly swept up and put in Gitmo, I will put that person's name and picture on the air and I will send them a donation." To all our military and legal beagles out there - any takers? http://tinyurl.com/c2877


8. Melanie: The title speaks for itself: I'm so Pissed Off I Can't Think of a Good Title. http://tinyurl.com/8bvoq
