GOP freshmen women go on offense..."The GOP is NOT anti-woman"

Posted:

Republicans have a new weapon in their messaging arsenal — a growing, influential caucus of younger GOP women intent on fighting back against Democratic claims that the party is anti-woman. The new group doesn't neatly fit the traditional model of women who run for office — the older, post-career PTA moms with grown children and more time to devote to politics. Four of the nine Republican GOP freshmen are under 50. And they aren't moderates in the mode of Senate GOP women such as Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe.

"I think content subscriptions on the internet can be a very viable business," he told Bloomberg. What's weird about that? Only that it was just a couple months ago that Armstrong put all of his company's content businesses into the hands of Arianna Huffington, one of the leading evangelists for the notion that news wants to be free and paywalls like the one The New York Times recently erected are doomed to fail.

I No Longer Trust The New York Times

Posted:

Before I lost faith in the integrity of The New York Times, I used to read the articles the paper wanted me to read—the front page, editorials and those singled out in the blurbs at the bottom of the front page and the "Inside The Times" section. However, one time I stumbled upon an article buried in the back about how the Supreme Court dismissed a case brought against the Bush administration in which the plaintiffs were removed from a speech President Bush gave about Social Security in 2005 because they held up a "no more blood for oil" sign, even though they did not protest or disrupt the event. This struck me as extremely important. I wondered why it didn't make the front page or get any attention for that matter.
