Archive for April, 2007
UPDATE: The Scarborough Country segment on Rosie O’Donnell has been postponed, so I won’t be appearing tonight after all. I’ve been told I’m “their first call” if/when they look to book that segment in the future.
Crazieness!!!
Before “Hannity & Colmes“ last week and PBS’s “To The Contrary” a couple of weeks back, I hadn’t done […]

Just got back from MSNBC’s “Scarbrough Country,” where I debated four men — host Joe Scarborough, two male journalists, and one male media analyst — about Rosie O’Donnell’s upcoming departure from ABC’s “The View.” [VIEW THE VIDEO HERE and read the transcript at the bottom of this page.] I’ll post video tomorrow when it becomes […]

Jessica Lynch was admittedly courageous this week when she told Congressional investigators that the “story of the little girl Rambo from the hills who went down fighting” was a lie. Henry Waxman, the chair of the House Government Oversight Committee, invited Jessica Lynch and Mary and Kevin Tillman to testify at a hearing on April […]

How do I even begin to comment on all the fallacies, misuse of language, and out-and-out false dichotomizing of “Breast Cancer Not Linked to Abortion, Study Says” (4/24/07) by Nicholas Bakalar in the New York Times? Though the headline is accurate, the article itself offers false balance at its worst, both creating controversy where there […]
