Newsweek: Palin ?Inflicts? Her Religion on US, She?s ?Not a Woman?
2008-09-18 11:03:00 -By Warner Todd Huston The racist Reverend Wright wanted God to “damn America.” Jesse Jackson called New York City “hymie town.” Various Evangelical preachers have been heard to utter some pretty nasty comments here and there, as well. So, flawed as we are, apparently being religious doesn’t preclude a venomous diatribe now and again. And now ...

Newsweek: Making sense of online iPhone rumors

Back To The Future
2008-06-02 14:05:00 Time Warner and GE goin' to The Chapel of Love? Yeah, yeah, yea-yeah-yeah. Newsweek: A goal for GE would be to avoid the huge tax bill it would incur in selling NBC Universal outright to Time Warner in a transaction valued in the tens of billions of dollars, say the sources familiar with the situation. One model for such a transaction might be the deal GE struck in 2003 to bulk up NBC by combining it with Universal, then owned by Vivendi. That combination left the French company with a hefty, though minority, 20 percent stake in NBC Universal. Under a similar scenario, Time Warner and GE could combine most, if not all, of their entertainment operations into a newly formed separate company, in which Time Warner would be the majority owner. The bet is investors would better recognize the value of a pure entertainment entity with big media brands, propelling the stocks of parent companies Time Warner and GE. And if that happens, the two Jeffs might just live out their corporate car...

Interview With Ron Paul (Newsweek) Talks about Bob Barr
2008-05-31 17:22:00 Interview With Ron Paul (Newsweek) Talks about Bob BarrIt is time for The R3volution to continue the fight. I welcome any and all with open arms to the Libertarian partyJOHN McCain may be the presumptive nominee, but the Republican race isn't over—at least not to Ron Paul. The Texas congressman remains an official GOP candidate and has about $5 million in the bank, and a mighty band of fanatical followers. Will the fiercely antiwar conservative become a distraction for McCain at the Republican convention? Paul spoke with NEWSWEEK's Daniel Stone. Excerpts: What kind of presence will you have at the convention? We'll have a big rally there one of the days. Since they won't give us a spot, we'll make our own spot. We won't disrupt things—that doesn't achieve anything. But we'll have a presence and present views and try to … get in on the committees to vote on platforms. That's not disruptive. What are your feelings toward [Libertarian nominee] Bob Barr? We're prett...

ArtSunday: ?The Thirteen American Arguments?
2008-05-18 06:21:00 The Thirteen American Arguments: Enduring Debates That Define and Inspire Our Country by Howard Fineman Random House, 320 pp. Americans love to argue. In fact, we would not be Americans if we didn?t. So says journalist Howard Fineman in his new book, The Thirteen American Arguments: Enduring Debates that Define and Inspire Our Country. Arguing, Fineman says, is what we do and who we are. ?We are the arguing country, born in and born to debate,? he writes. ?We are an endless argument.? Fineman is Newsweek?s senior Washington correspondent and columnist, and he?s a news analyst for NBC and MSNBC. By his own description, he has covered every presidential campaign and major candidate since 1983. In The Thirteen American Arguments, Fineman taps into his decades of experience to find perspective on the American experiment. He looks not at petty partisan bickering and political posturing but rather at the larger, fundamental questions Americans have wrestled over since the country?s foundi...

Newsweek and the GOP onslaught- McCain response
2008-05-12 17:16:00 Man! Obama sure is lucky that he has more money and academia, most major newspapers, and almost all of the television networks on his side. He's going to need it when he goes against the vicious GOP attack machine this fall. Poor guy. In more evidence that I have, in fact, entered an alternate reality, Newsweek claims that the Republican attack machine, not theirs, is the scarier monster. Have they ever heard Howard Dean? Daily Kos? Huffington? How about using this Newsweek attack piece to preempt any McCain criticisms of Obama? I think this whole "GOP is meaner than us" is catching on amongst the easily self-deluded and self-righteous left. Here's the original Newsweek article. Below is the McCain campaign response by Mark Salter: Dear Jon, A useful way to read the piece would be to try to imagine you were a Republican reading it. The characterization of Republican presidential campaigns as nothing more than attack machines that use 527s and other means to smear opponent...

Karl Rove: Fox In The Hen House

So while you'll almost certainly win the nomination, Democrats are nervous about the fall. You've given them reasons to be." More at NewsweekMaureen Dowd NYT likens Obama's waning life force to vampire chick lit. "She?s the one who is more energetic and focused and beaming, and he?s the one who seems uneven and gauzy, often fatigued and unable to disguise being fed up with the slog... Even his speeches don?t have the same pizazz.Even some Obama fans find Hillary?s toughness and shameless shape-shifting compelling. Having lost the White House twice to brass-knuckled pols, the Dems may be drawn to a woman who thinks like Karl Rove."

Newsweek Pokes Holes in Joe Cimperman’s Attacks Against Dennis Kucinich
2008-03-04 09:46:00 Fact Checking the “Dump Dennis” ad, Justin Bank, Newsweek Former Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich is now fighting to hold onto his House seat in Cleveland, Ohio. He’s the target of a tough attack ad that says he “gives a lot of speeches” but “doesn’t get much done.” But the ad is a textbook example of deceptive political advertising – it uses dramatic-sounding numbers that, put into context, aren’t such a big deal after all: The ad, by challenger Joe Cimperman, says that under Kucinich’s watch, “we’ve lost 38,000 jobs.” That’s the decline in employment figures for an Ohio county, part of which Kucinich serves. But we’re sure that one congressman doesn’t bear the sole responsibility for such job losses. The ad says Kucinich “passed only one bill” in Congress, a claim based on the fact that he was the lead sponsor on only one bill that was signed into law. But...

Newsweek hails Maximum Bob as the savior of the electric car!
2007-12-26 14:21:00 When General Motors rolled out the Chevrolet Volt concept last January at the Detroit Auto Show, Bob Lutz played his usual role as the master of ceremonies. Within minutes after our story went live here on ABG many of you were hailing the Volt as nothing more than smoke and mirrors. As we've seen over the past year, the company is clearly serious about this car. As we approach the Volt's first birthday, Newsweek is taking a look at the role of Mr. Lutz in making the Volt a reality. While Newsweek may be a little over the top in claiming Lutz has had a green conversion, it's certainly safe to say that the Vice-Chairman of GM was instrumental in making this car a reality. However, it took the efforts of Martin Eberhard and Tesla Motors to push Lutz over the top and force the issue. Even if the Tesla Roadster never becomes more than a footnote in automotive history, we can probably give thanks to its creators for inspiring the big guys to go back down the electric vehicle path again...

Newsweek Calls Edwards the ?Sleeper Candidate?
2007-12-18 01:15:00 Screen shot from JohnEdwards.com featuring him on the cover of Newsweek in which they call him "The Sleeper" candidate who could win in Iowa. John Edwards has strong support in Iowa but does not get the media attention that Obama or Clinton gets on the trail. This past week John Edwards was on the cover of Newsweek in which they called him ?The Sleeper? candidate. John Edwards usually comes in a very close third in most polls in Iowa behind Clinton and Obama but has a very good chance of winning in Iowa according to Newsweek. While the media focuses on Clinton and Obama they are missing out on Edwards who is known for working harder than anyone else. Edwards campaign bus the ?Main Street Express?, which runs on bio-diesel, has visited all 99 counties in Iowa. According to Newsweek, the significance of visiting all of the counties is that all of the precincts get the same amount of delegates. While Obama and Clinton focus on the larger cities Edwards is visiting...
