"I do think that the quality which makes a man want to write and be read is essentially a desire for self-exposure and is masochistic. Like one of those guys who has a compulsion to take his thing out and show it on the street." - James Jones Tuesday, Apr 26

Question: Have you been following the discussion at Talking Points Memo about the evolution of media coverage of the term "nuclear option"? Apparently it was coined by Trent Lott, but now the GOP is pressuring the media (ever scared of being accused of liberal bias) into reporting that "nuclear option" is Democratic spin and the GOP's preferred term "constitutional option" should be used in the interests of fair and balanced reporting. Howard Kurtz: Odds that journalists will start using "constitutional option" instead of "nuclear option": Zero. That's one prediction that won't blow up. Also on tap today in the chatroom? Fox News, Bill Moyers, Tom Delay, and polls. Email This Post |
