...newspapers, to transform the industry in the next three years and beyond. The newspaper industry is about a $76 billion industry and about $7 billion is invested just in the news product. It's my firm belief that everything else out there -- network TV, local TV, the blogosphere, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Jon Stewart -- they are all derivative of those daily newspaper reporters and editors. They start their day reading newspapers. The challenge in a free and democratic republic is to have an informed citizenry. Without that $7 billion investment, what will support that informed citizenry...
When Rush Limbaugh accused Michael J. Fox of going off his Parkinson's meds to make a political ad in favor of embryonic-stem-cell research--and against Republican candidates who oppose it--the insult backfired. A pro-stem-cell law passed in Missouri, and Democrat Claire McCaskill was elected to the Senate in a tight contest. But it isn't just celebrity endorsements that make people favor embryonic cells as a possible treatment for Parkinson's (and a long list of other diseases): clinical results are starting to come in too, including those from a 10-year study...

Celebs aren't always helpful. Actor and Parkinson's sufferer Michael J. Fox stumped for pro-stem-cell-research initiatives and candidates--and endured Rush Limbaugh's taunts. To what end? Missouri voters backed a ballot measure for research, but postelection polls showed that Fox's ads hurt his candidate Claire McCaskill more than they helped...
...Snow told Rush Limbaugh on Monday that Republicans have "got a lot of I-told-you-so moments right now because polls are tightening." But if voters wind up choosing divided government today, a big wave of news coverage will focus on whether the President can become a uniter, working with Democrats as he did when he was Texas governor. Snow caused a stir online and in the White House press corps last month when he told Powerlineblog.com that one of the administration's goals for the next two years-the final quarter of Bush's presidency-is "maybe...
