Maybe midstreamnews could provide the categories and which hosts fit under each heading; I would link to that.

I won’t do the research, but if you or someone does it, I’ll post it. Or I’ll link to you, which would be better, so you could keep it updated.

I saw that; it was a terribly trashy tabloidish article, all anon sources and sensationalism.

And yet a long very substantive decently written article about Hillary’s foreign policy was attributed to NY Post upthread. Duh.

Sarah Palin launches political action committee
Hillary, Caroline, Barack — now there’s another entry in the list of political figures instantly identifable by their first names. Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor and former GOP vice presidential nominee, has started a political action committee called SarahPAC.

The website, complete with the governor standing against a gorgeous Alaskan landscape, says contributions “will make it possible for Gov. Palin to continue to be a strong voice for energy independence and reform. By supporting SarahPac, you will allow Gov. Palin to help find and create solutions for America’s most pressing problems; priority number one is building a strong and prosperous economy that recognizes hard work, innovation and integrity by rewarding small businesses and hard working American families. SarahPac will support local and national candidates who share Gov. Palin’s ideas and goals for our country.”

Did the first one eventually show up? Mine usually do.

ABC News has learned that tax refunds are now on hold in California for the first time in state history, according to the state controller’s office.

“Unfortunately, we have asked the California Franchise Tax Board not to send over tax refund claims beginning today because we will not be able to process them and have them out the door by Feb. 1 when a 30-day delay in tax refunds goes into effect,” Hallye Jordan, spokeswoman to California State Controller John Chiang, tells ABC News.

During the 30-day delay, the controller’s office estimates that a combined 2.74 million California individuals and businesses will have their tax refund delayed.

The controller’s office estimates that the delay in tax refunds will free up $1.99 billion over the next month to pay for education, debt service, and other payments that legally have first claim to state funds.

California has had no money in its general fund for the past 17 months, and has been paying its bills by borrowing from Wall Street and special internal funds.

If the state’s legislators and governor do not reach a budget agreement that brings immediate funds into the state’s coffers, the state’s borrowed funds will be entirely exhausted at the end of February, according to the controller’s office.

Maybe, the bailout bill will bail out CA.

What is up with Fox News? I heard O’Reilly announce last night his radio show was ending and items would be transferred to the website. Why, if like he boasts he is the most watched tv program – was he not the most listened to radio host, except maybe for Rush?

I listened intently once when the explanation was given about the titles for the various News network hosts. They all appear at first glance to be news shows, but many of them categorize themselves as: entertainers, commentators, etc. They are not ‘there’ to give news, just thier interpretations of news. But, does the population know how to distinguish between them.

Maybe midstreamnews could provide the categories and which hosts fit under each heading; I would link to that.

And the MSM have become the new scandalous rags. I guess the Globe, Star ,and the National Enquirer got too many things right for way too long so the ‘news’ media all joined them.
