person_rush_limbaugh_cigar1Rush Limbaugh continues to dominate the news and is doing a good job steering his party off the deep end–including standing in the way of those Republicans that are actually trying to change the direction of their party (a logical idea considering their dismal performance last year).

I was a little concerned that Republicans would use this time to reorganize and come back stronger–something they’re pretty good at. Some of the Libertarian policies Ron Paul pushed during the election were resonating well, not just with southern white voters but with young college students and suburban Moms, however ridiculous some of his other ideas might have been (wait, what do you want to do to the Federal Reserve? Abolish it?? That doesn’t sound smart…).

But not with Rush at the helm. Not only is he doing a good job at blocking efforts to rebrand the party, he’s actively trying to make the party smaller by pushing out some key players.

Back in 2006, his 11th hour claims that Michael J. Fox was faking his Parkinson symptoms in a political ad helped the Democrats edge out their takeover of Congress. As long as Limbaugh continues to be the de-facto leader of the Republican party, it seems safe to say that Democrats won’t need to worry about losing their solid majority–keep it up, Rush!

A response to this Huffington Post article.

Taking a middle of the road approach to the news doesn’t mean that you present a topic and have two unqualified people from each side scream at each other for five minutes with limited interruption by the anchor. That approach is something closer to having someone else do your job for you.

Just because CNN divulged itself from taking a political side doesn’t mean it should have divulged itself from journalism, which seems to be their approach. There will always be two sides (or three or four) to every news story, but just because there are doesn’t mean that each side merits the same amount of air time.

It is the journalists’ responsibility to investigate and present the facts behind a story. At that point, if the story merits a partisan response, only then should outside input be included. And the partisan responses should be included in a moderated fashion; no one gains anything when commentators are given a soap box to spew talking points, unchecked by the facts. If a journalists wishes to include outside remarks, they should be responsible enough to hold these commentators to the truth. It’s one thing to have someone else do your work for you; it’s another thing to ask an unqualified partisan to do your work for you.

I stopped watching CNN not because it became too middle-of-the-road but because they were so concentrated and obsessed with that middle that they failed to present the story effectively and truthfully.

megHey, Meg: if you’re going to screen questions for a pre-taped infomercial, at least have the decency to come up with some substantive policy answers. Seems like a no brainer, right?

I’m pretty sure she didn’t give a concrete answer to any of the pre-selected questions submitted to her. In fact, this really is more like an infomercial, as she sits in a dimly lit living room answering questions with elevator music is playing in the background. And which campaign aide told her that a matching leopard print cardigan set was a wise decision?

In fact, her whole website in general confuses me. It looks more like an organic herbal supplement e-store than a gubernatorial campaign site.
