Why Health Advice on ‘Oprah’ Could Make You Sick
You may worship Oprah and consider her the Second Coming but this takedown in Newsweek on her proclivity to promote false science is compelling. No one should be above doubt and just because Oprah says so, it always ain’t so.

Newspaper Innovation
The latest offering The NYT TimesReader 2.0 is one of the coolest app I’ve seen from a traditional media company. It is powered by Adobe Air and is styled almost like a print newspaper giving it a friendly familiar feel. You can view the columns in a multiple column format complete with embedded images accompanying the story.

Popularizing Socialism
Limbaugh and Fox are ironically popularizing socialism by trivializing it and linking it to Obama’s policies. These guys have hardly lived in a socialist country so they really don’t know what they are talking about; just ask Indians who lived in pre-1991 times.

Pwning Pat Buchanan
Lawrence O’Donnell pwned Pat Buchanan on MSNBC [youTube] yesterday on the media-created Obama – Notre Dame issue. Note how Buchanan always laughs and sips water toward the end when he knows he’s beat. If only more Democrats had the gumption to call on the conservatives BS.

Bob Dylan’s Obama musings
Are reporters really interested in opinions of the people they are interviewing or just looking to stir up a faux controversy? Check out an excerpt from an interview of Bob Dylan by Bill Flanagan in the Times (UK):
Bill Flanagan: What struck you about him?
Bob Dylan: Well, a number of things. He’s got an interesting background. [...]
