*Howard Kurtz began his weekly Sunday media show on CNN by apologizing to Jason Collins for his “sloppy and inexcusable” Daily Beast story that suggested the NBA player wasn’t telling the whole truth when he came out as gay in a Sports Illustrated cover. “The mistake I made was sloppy and inexcusable,” Kurtz said, according [...]
*The porn industry is one of the highest grossing businesses in the U.S., raking in at least $10 billion a year (much of it however is nearly impossible to track because of the Internet). But those numbers are primarily based on white porn production. The Daily Beast recently published an op-ed about the lack of [...]
*Gabrielle Douglas, who on Thursday became the first African American gymnast to win the all-around event at the Olympics, helped NBC draw 35.7 million viewers, according to fast affiliate numbers. That’s up eight percent from the same night at the Beijing Olympics four years ago. [SUBSCRIBE TO EURWEB's RSS FEED] Already a team gold medal [...]
*Earlier this week, Star Jones suggested that CNN’s Anderson Cooper may have announced he was gay to help improve ratings for his daytime talk show, and compared the practice to Oprah Winfrey revealing that she smoked crack. [SUBSCRIBE TO EURWEB's RSS FEED] Jones made the comment as part of the “Professionals” panel on the Today [...]
*Michele Bachmann is NOT building momentum in her candidacy for President in 2012, but one man wants to believe that the media is hurling unbelievable untruths (the same given to Sarah Palin’s run) toward Michele Bachmann. But the truth is that they both have been discredited with very good reasoning. Mark McKinnon of The Daily Beast is stating his [...]
*The Daily Beast asks if it’s the most offensive political ad ever? And what ad are they referring to? It seems that earlier this week, Turn Right USA released a Web ad that attacks Janice Hahn, a Democrat running to take over the seat of retired Rep. Jane Harman. What’s so offensive about it, you [...]
*Dismal pretty much sums up May’s job numbers … just 54,000 private-sector jobs gained, and the unemployment rate up a tick to 9.1 percent. As the Daily Beast points out, all signs point toward a very slow recovery on the jobs front, and so the conventional wisdom arbiters in Washington right now are asking: Can [...]
*President Obama’s egregious flip-flop on Khalid Sheik Mohammed-no civilian trial, but a military tribunal for the 9/11 planner-is a glaring example of our political cowardice. It also hands al Qaeda a victory, says The Daily Beast’s Paul Campos. He says there isn’t a shred of evidence that our criminal courts can’t achieve something very close [...]
*Today President Obama delivers eulogies for the six people killed by the Arizona shooter, Jared Lee Loughner. But his speech could well prove that his perceived weakness of being too cool and aloof is his greatest strength. The Daily Beast’s Samuel P. Jacobs spoke to past presidential speechwriters about the political minefield taking shape around [...]
*The Daily Beast’s Howard Kurtz has done a very interesting piece on former ABC-TV anchor Carole Simpson, whose new memoir – “News Lady” – chronicles a career marred by racist and sexist attacks. Kurtz writes that Simpson was a rookie radio reporter in 1966 when she conducted an all-night stakeout of visiting civil-rights leader Martin [...]
*Just weeks removed from his midterm “shellacking,” President Obama is heading into the holiday break with remarkable victories on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, START, and the 9/11 bill. Even GOP strategists are grudgingly giving him some credit, as The Daily Beast’s Lloyd Grove reports: It was, by any definition, a triumphant day for President Obama-and [...]
*With the GOP riding high, the White House is seeking solace in tight Senate races and the undecided vote, The Daily Beast’s Richard Wolffe reports. Despite widespread predictions of a Republican blowout, Obama’s team claims that early voting data and the latest polling shows hills as well as valleys. “Where the turnout operation is weak, [...]
*After months of being battered by Republicans, President Obama finally stepped back into the campaign ring Wednesday. His speech in Cleveland, with its bracing attacks on John Boehner and GOP policies, cheered the president’s base. But it could be too little to late to save the second half of his term, The Daily Beast’s Eric [...]
*Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s surprise announcement that he won’t be running for re-election is sparking speculation that White House chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel-long a leading contender for Daley’s job-might head back to the Windy City. Could Valerie Jarrett replace him? That’s what Politico says. He won’t be the only one leaving 1600-a wider shakeup [...]
*Seafood from the Gulf of Mexico is perfectly clean-just as immaculate as seafood from the Atlantic Ocean-according to independent lab tests commissioned by The Daily Beast. Red grouper, jumbo shrimp, and crabmeat were checked for both oil and chemical dispersants, and either undetectable or incredibly minute (well below everyday federal thresholds) levels were found. The [...]
