Just to be fair …

… I’d let Katie Couric sit on my lap, too. She’s 53 (six years older than me) and she looks great. But this is no news bunny.

November 14, 2009
By Billy Dennis

And they say the Associated Press serves no purpose. Here’s an AP fact check on Sarah Palin’s book.

By Billy Dennis

The Washington Posts’ Howard Kurtz says the media needs to report that the words coming out of Sarah Palin’s mouth are not true: Yes, there is a point where the media should say a politician is wrong, and this is the point.
