When the SEAL team raided his compound and came for Osama bin Laden, a firefight broke out -- and bin Laden, the noble jihad warrior, used one of his wives as a human shield. He lived for years in a glorified hovel, paranoid and completely cut off from the outside world, ...

White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, who’s been leading the Obama administration’s charge against Fox News (and was promptly smeared as a commie sympathizer by Glenn Beck), will be stepping down at the end of the month. This move has nothing to do with the Fox News issues, however — she ...

Here’s an interesting contrast between the GOP, which spent $1.4 million on a buggy, incomplete website redesign, and the Democratic White House, where they just launched a redesign of the site using the open source Content Management System (CMS), Drupal. (And it looks great.) Publisher Tim O’Reilly has a good piece ...
You know that story that was on Fox News yesterday, claiming that Fox had been excluded from a “roundtable” interview with pay czar Ken Feinberg? And then (according to Fox News) all the other networks stood up and said, “If Fox isn’t there, we’re not going to be there! We’re all ...
White House Communications Director Anita Dunn doesn’t hold anything back in this interview with Howard Kurtz, blasting Fox News for being “the communications arm of the Republican party.” Dunn also comments on right wing celebrations over America’s loss of the Olympics bid, and the knee-jerk negativity toward Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize.
