Sunday, February 15, 2004 Quote of the day
On Reliable Sources this morning, Andrew Sullivan commented on the Kerry rumors: "I don't know anybody in Washington that isn't aware of this story. So you get into this excruciating dilemma: How do you talk about it? Should you talk about it? I've talked about it from a -- removed, talking about the story as a press story, which is what we're doing now, without mentioning the details of it. But I have to say, I am deeply conflicted about it...There comes a point at which the media has to acknowledge people are talking." Transcript... 4:51:12 PM A Prettier Package
Cleaned up the site layout. Hope it looks brighter. The fonts should be more consistent now. 4:28:55 PM Media's Gatekeeper Role "Wiped Out" In "Brave New World" --Greenfield
The Cox News Service runs a story referring to the Kerry rumors. "Fox News, CNN and Headline News have played the Imus clip, which was simulcast on MSNBC," they say.

Now do it on a daily basis. 1:50:11 PM Check Out The Week in Pictures
A particularly memorable set of photos at MSNBC.com's Week in Pictures this weekend. "Looting in Haiti, bird flu in Indonesia and dogs on display in New York," the tease text says... 1:04:35 PM The Wisconsin Debate: Then There Were 5. Or 3. 2? 1?
MSNBC will simulcast a Democratic candidates debate this evening. Chris Matthews apparently has the night off; Joe Scarborough will host a half-hour pre-game at 6pm. The main event runs from 6:30 to 8, then Joe is back for an hour with the post-game. So in other words, MSNBC will spend as much time analyzing the debate as they will spend actually airing the debate. The event has a nice web site, BTW.
