POPSMedia coverage has favored Obama campaign Meanwhile, the first half of Fox News Channel's "Special Report" with Brit Hume showed more balance than any of the network broadcasters, although it was dominated by negative evaluations of both campaigns. The center didn't evaluate programs on CNN or MSNBC. - Not that this is news - everyone but the left has known about it for about a year now.

POPS"Steal This Vote," The Republican Agenda This Brit, who's been around, wrote the book, "Steal This Vote." You could be reading this book now and listening to the news and it would be like reading the script from a play while watching it play out before your eyes. Republican Voter Suppression is in full force again. The book also does point out how the whole USA voting system needs to be reformed.

POPSNew Brit TV show debuts-Torture as entertainment The show's presenter, the explorer Benedict Allen, admitted that he himself had been concerned about some participants' state of mind at times. "We knew we couldn't afford to kill anyone but yes, there were times when I was seriously worried. It got pretty hairy. Two hours into filming on the first day, one of the contestants collapsed on the floor and suffered convulsions. We were stuck in the depths of the jungle in Guyana and we had to get him out. It didn't start well."

POPSMSNBC Is Buzz Flashes "Media Putz of the Week" I have always preferred MSNBC for cable news coverage, as they seemed to be the least influenced by right-wing threats. Unlike Fox, who claims to be "Fair and Balanced" when in fact they are Republican shills, MSNBC was far more able to claim that mantle. However, it appears that MSNBC is getting nervous because the two hosts they have who are more left than right, have been garnering complaints from the Republican Committee and the McCain campaign. Compared with remarks that O'Reilly or Hannity make on a regular basis, Olbermann et al, are quite mild. And then again, Olbermann has been, up til this week, the only truly lefty commentator, while FOX is ALL Conservative ALL the Time. But MSNBC has demoted Olbermann as well as Chris Matthews because the RNC did not like the fact that they questioned Sarah Palins qualifications for office. My God, is there nowhere fair minded people can turn any longer?

POPS"Brit firm to demo serious flying robo-saucer in 2009" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/27/gfs_saucers_to_get_serious/ Oh great - the UK has more CCTV camera's than anywhere else; now they'll actually be able to follow us home. I guess it was inevitable the concept has featured in many Sci Fi scenarios over the years.

POPSGirlfriend This word is older than I thought (I thought both uses originated in the 1950s, but the "female friend" use goes back to 1859 and the "female romantic partner" use goes back to 1892. OED lists a 1896 use of "boy-friend" (male friend usage, which you never hear today) and a 1909 use of "boy-friend" in the romantic sense.

POPSActivism Update: TV News Blackout on Pentagon Pundits
Lie, stonewall and bury--the first thing the Pentagon does when caught doing the nasty things they do to us. "The media organizations most implicated in facilitating the Pentagon's propaganda program have been far less responsive. The networks and cable outlets refused a request to address the issue on PBS; as the NewsHour's Judy Woodruff stated (4/24/08), "We invited Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and NBC to participate, but they declined our offer or did not respond." The cable and broadcast networks have yet to respond to FAIR's request that they change their practices to ensure that their audience will never again get official talking points passed off as independent analysis. Only NPR (NPR.org, 4/28/08) has publicly stated that they have new policies in place to ensure more careful vetting of analysts. Fox has continued to feature the commentary of retired Gen. Robert H. Scales (Special Report With Brit Hume, 4/21/08, 4/23/08), whom the New York Times documented to be a par
