It is great journalism because finally somebody in the mainstream media has yelled out that the "fair and balanced" faux News, "has no clothes"! Under Roger Ailes Fox News is a "political campaign - a 24/7 political campaign " for the Republican and Tea Party! And this quote says it all : The result of this concerted campaign of disinformation is a viewership that knows almost nothing about what's going on in the world"....A study by the University of Maryland reveals "ignorance of Fox viewers actually increases the longer they watch the network". The author goves lots of verifiable evidence in the article to support these quotes and that Ailes goal with the network is not to reveal facts but to push right wing and often ... More »

Definately high quality journalism. Any time a well respected member of the mainstream media takes on Republican propaganda pimps such as Murdoch and Ailes and exposes their partisan poisoning of news reporting it is a welcome defense of the once respected profession of journalism. Fox News has gotten away with a amazing con job on it's viewers. It's brainwashed these uninformed Republican voters that un-American hopes for failure of the government and demonizing attacks on the democratically elected President are somehow in their Republican self-interest and a higher form of patriotism.

Because it is factual and offers an in depth report on a issue of the day the main stream media is being bullied to not examine or report in depth on. Instead the mainstream media is just publishing accusations with no factual push back.

No it is incredibly biased and superficial and taken out of context of the history of Hamas and it's provocations of Israel from Gaza.

It is based on facts period.

Yes it's quality journalism because it presents the speech objectively with no bias.

yes, any exposure of the GOP and Coleman's contempt for the law and the electoral process is good journalism. There needed to be manymore articles about this ugly attempt by the Republicans to overturn the will of the people.

It's an important story and needs to be publicized.

Not really journalism but quality satire.

Incomplete. It tells the where and the when but not the why a hardcore GOP partisan would cross his party?

It gives the ordinary reader insights into the talks that are not mentioned on Cable News or or most daily newspapers.

It is timely journalism, but too little too late.

Because it is truly objective and non-partisan. Even critical of Obama's politicizing over the rule of law.

It is quality journalism because it is factual, and just like Joseph Welch standing up to McCarthy's lies and asking him if he has any sense of decency, not one single Republican has stood up to the right wing propaganda machine of Fox News, and the hate talkers, Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, and the RNC and their lies and harmful and undemocratic attacks on the President and the will of the people. Never in the history of this country has a political party so totally disregarded facts and reality for their own partisan talking points, propaganda and re-writing of factual history. Never have they had the media reach for these lies and distortions as they have today with right wing cable news and am hate talk radio. This is ... More »

Yes it is quality journalism, because it is taking on and revealing unprecedented corruption in the previous administration which the mainstream press is incapable or under corporate oders not to expose to the level of the seriousness of the criminal intent.

It's a good observation on Limbaugh and a interesting opinion piece. As a op ed article worthy of a read and provoking thoughts it's excellent journalism.

This is not only good journalism but revealing, relevant and frightening. Not only did this pre-emptive disruption of Constitutional rights happen so openly, but it shockingly didn't even get mentioned by any of the media. If it wasn't for Amy Goodman's arrest and her producer, it would not have even been mentioned on the progressive talk shows and blogs. What has Bush done to this once great Democracy?

Who knows how many other covert examples of criminal corruption the Bush Administration was involved in while Rove was a special advisor to the President? Even Scott McClellan a Bush insider called Rove a lier and one who put the "Permanent campaign" (partisan politics) above the truth and the law. What is most compelling and frightening about this great investigative journalism is the bigger picture of how our Justice system and election process has been criminally corrupted by Republican partisan appointments directed by Rove.

One glaring mistake in the article. The mortgage securities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mc unload on wall street are guaranted by them, unlike Countywide and other banks. Thus , if the loans are defaulted on by the borrowers, Fannie Mae and Freddie have to make them good. They have around $5 trillion out in these guaranted mortgage loans sold as securities. This is why this is so critical, even the government couldn't afford to cover this amount. However, because the loans we're gauranted one can only hope the people that qualified for them were scrutinized much closer for their ability to pay then those that qualified for Countrywide type loans with "stated" not proven income, and negative amoritization loans, where you just add ...

What the story fails to do is put the blame for our faltering economy on the Republican Administration where it belongs. It fails to point out how "trickle down" has not worked, just as it didn't work when Reagan was President. It fails to point out the politics of our severe economic downturn. How the Bush/Cheny secretive energy policies have led to these high energy costs. How Bush lied in 2004 re-election campaign about job creation and never mentioned how the whole consumer economy was bouyed by re-financing and false home appreciation values. And it fails to mention that McCain has no answers for re-invigorating the economy and the Democrats do.

This is not journalism or reporting it is pure pro Hamas and Hezbollah propaganda. If Ms Cobban was in a country run by either of her political ideals, Hamas and Hezbollah, she would be eliminated, if she dared to write something like this that didn't agree with their extremist Islamic dogma. Let me explain it simply for Ms Cobban. If Hamas or Hezbollah had the military might of Israel..........Where Israel and all it's population once stood would be scorched earth! There is no negotiating with lunatics who control their own people and gain political clout through sheer force and bribery. And who's admitted purpose is to eliminate you. Israel has shown divine patience and restraint with these violent neighbors. How can ... More »

It basically repeats in print all the points McCain made in his campaign speech, with zero analysis. The story read like a campaign ad for John McCain for President. It also exaggerated the size of the audience by calling it a "packed" auditorium. When it was in reality a few hundred Republicans. It made no mention of McCain's "flip flopping" on issues he previously supported Bush and now is opposing.
