The MSM, Gaza and Pajamas TV
Roger L. Simon —
If your only information about the current Middle East crisis came from CNN, you’d think it boiled down to a bunch of high-tech Israeli bullies running around Gaza torturing Palestinian women and children, while tossing smart bombs on hospitals and blowing up UN schools with Merkava tanks. Almost no context is given. That Israel had done virtually nothing for the three years since voluntarily withdrawing from Gaza but grin and bare it, as missiles after missile, many courtesy of Iran, flew willy-nilly into the Southern part of their country – a fusillade no nation on Earth, civilized or uncivilized, would begin to tolerate – is ...
GUESS WHO'S COMING TO ISRAEL FROM OHIO?
THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS —
Joe the Plumber (via Michelle Malkin): TOLEDO, Ohio: Joe the Plumber is taking on a new job. The Ohio man, who became famous during the U.S. presidential campaign after asking Barack Obama about his tax plan, is heading to Israel as a war correspondent for a conservative Web site called pjtv.com.

Wurzelbacher says he'll spend 10 days covering the fighting and explaining why Israeli forces are mounting ...

He will appear on Fox and Friends tomorrow morning before his departure.

... to glom onto some pseudo-celebrity du jour whose claim to fame is being schooled on the finer points of tax policy, on video, by Presidential candidate, Barack Obama. (he's black, by the way - did you know that?) The people who pay John Cole good money to try and convince you and me that Glenn Reynolds or Hugh Hewitt or whoever the hell it was is going to be the "end of broadcast/cable news" or some such self-aggrandizing bullshit. And then, there's the breathless, dang near turgid promos on their "web site"... ...

We caught Tiny in a Rembrandt Moment this afternoon as she stared atop Tuck's computer at things we don't see in the countdown to supper. Alpha blogger Ann Althouse may protest — too much? — but we have never felt prouder of our association with ...
