CNN REPORTS: Howard Kurtz pissed at Obama; Way too much Obamamania all over the Land!

[FrenchieCat]

Howard Kurtz is pissed off. The Obamas are not only the toast of the world, but they have got the goddamn nerves to be on a bunch of Magazine Covers and newspapers and shit! They are permuating popular culture and Howard Kurtz is taken aback! Just too much, he says!

Howard Kurtz's Washington Post/CNN Dual Roles
"The Most Blatant And Longest-Lasting Conflict Of Interest" In Journalism
Howard Kurtz is the self-styled prince of American media reporters, a writing, blogging, book-writing machine who has covered the press for the Washington Post since 1990, and pontificated about it for CNN--as host of Reliable Sources--since 1998.

Last week was typical for Kurtz: nine articles in the Post, including a big profile of Chris Matthews, three blogs, and one online discussion, all capped off with his Sunday show on CNN. This never-ending blizzard of activity has sometimes obscured the basic fact about Kurtz's career: His dual roles as salaried press critic for the Post and salaried host on CNN put Howie at the heart of the most blatant and longest-lasting conflict of interests I know of in big-time, mainstream journalism.

1. Kurtz had better get used to seeing President Obama on the tv all the time

It appears the cameras love Obama just as they loved Clinton. Jealous Kurtz needs to suck it up. :)

their November 5th editions and selling them at a profit. said that this may be just about money! :crazy:

4. The article from HuffPo is from February. Is there a current link?

6. The article is a chapter on Howard Kurtz and why his opinions

seem to matter to those who subscribe to the corporate media....
meaning what he says doesn't really mean anything, but millions
of people are exposed to it.

That hasn't changed since February.

7. I'd like to slap that simpering smirk right off his face.

He's such an ass.

8. I can't stand him either.....

he was such a Bush lover. Gawd, I used to have to turn him off. Now, I laugh at him.

9. Kurtz could use a croquet mallet to the groin.
