Well-written, thorough examination of the career of one of the most influential editors of the 20th Century.

The LAT has uncovered something potentially explosive here, but it remains to be seen if the story gains traction. Well written piece, if a bit on the soapy side. This, on the same day the NYT has a story in which McCain's eligibility is questioned (p. NYT p. A11 7/11/08) adds up to a sleepless night or two in the McCain camp, I would imagine.

A well presented summation of the campaign's endgame as seen from across the pond. An excellent opinion piece by any standard.

I think the Greenwald's point is that we are becoming so accustomed to the media's focus on the trivial -- on Britney and bowling and the gaffe-of-the-day -- that we just take it for granted. The "Britney-fication" of the mainstream media isn't really a new phenomenon, but it is getting worse and fast. The Nexis numbers noted in this article don't lie. We are what we eat, and we are a culture with a major media fast-food consumption problem.

One of those articles that just begs to be read. It's either the biggest story ever, or merely a diverting piece of oddball Saturday flotsam. Either way, it certainly caught my attention. Great journalism? I dunno.

If the question is, "Is this good journalism?", and all of the questions pertaining to "fairness" and such are to be considered in answer, then I suppose you'd be hard-pressed to say "yes". But as an opinion piece, it's brilliant. It's about as succinct a portrayal of exactly how completely around the twist this administration as led this country as I have seen. The Parrot Sketch anaology tends to trivialize the writer's argument, though, clever as it may be.

Eric Lichtblau, once again, clearly presents crucial information that too often gets swept onto page 18. We need journalism like this more right now than ever before, in my humble opinion. Bravo.

An excellent example of good journalism: a breaking news story that is informative, well-sourced and clearly written. Bravo New York Times! We need reportage like this now more than ever.

Scott McClellan may prove to be the canary in the coal mine, if his remarks receive adequate exposure. That's why this piece is important: this story needs oxygen, and deserves more eyeballs than one news cycle's worth. Whether the comparison to Dean turns out to be hyperbole depends entirely upon what, if anything, Congress does.

Why has there been so little reportage of the revelations concerning Daniel Levin, the former Acting Assistant Attorney General, who was forced out after saying "Waterboarding is torture," back in 2004? It seems Levin allowed himself to be waterboarded before making that statement. Here is Olbermann's Special Comment from last night, in which he mentions an ABC News story that apparently broke the story. This story needs to be told, and this (admittedly hyper-ventilating) Olbermann piece widely seen.

Julian Barnes presents an important side of the wider Iraq /private security story, told from an angle that I have not seen reported elsewhere. Well worth your time.

This article was brought to my attention by a colleague who believes that the 9/11 Commission Report was a whitewash, and deliberately ommitted some critical facts. This well-researched piece is the first on this subject that makes me think that he may be right. I cannot vouch for "Global Research" personally, but judged on the merits, this is a worthy read.

A clear-eyed look at the new Artic reality. Important reading.

Important, timely information, presented in a straightfoward manner. Tragically ironic.

Keith is fearless... polemical, but fearless. As an editorial comment, it doesn't claim to be a balanced piece. And it isn't. It's a body slam. The other side has its echo chamber of talking heads. At least we have one voice brave enough to speak for the rest of us.

An all-too-rare first hand look at the situation on the ground in Iraq. This kind of insight is truly the most valuable, and we don't get much of it in mainstream media. Bravo.

Eggen & Goldstein's piece has helped us better understand a complex, potentionally explosive political situation.

A scoop for the Post. More evidence of just how badly things are being run by this administration. Notice Dana Perino's response? Not "We'll fix it," but "...the President relies on.." the DNI:not his fault. Bravo Mr.Soloman.

Hertzberg further cements the belated realization that Mr. Cheney is truly malign, and dangerous. Sadly for America, Cheney seems to actually believe his office is not bound by the very Constitution he is sworn to protect.

Keith Olbermann has the courage to speak truth to power. Unfortunately, power (in this case) is stone deaf. That leaves the rest of us. This is a call to action. Let's see what happens.

This story deserves wide exposure. It provides clear insight into the way this administration feels it can operate... i.e., with impunity.

A remarkable insight into a completely alien mindset.

After reading this, I felt I understood who Comey was far better than I did previously. I gained fresh insight into what may prove be pivotal testimony. Well written, and I thought, quite well sourced.

ANY story that references Nicholas Kristof's OpEd piece from last Sunday, which clearly calls Mr Cheney to account, gets my vote. It's important that as many people as possible read that column.
