The great Huff breaks into sports

Today the Huffington Post finally launched its very own sports section: HuffPost Sports. Not only does Arianna Huffington plan to cover game scores and stats, but she also plans to cover off-the-field stories. Anything from steroids to scandals will be covered on the site. The HuffPost is the first independent news site to take on sports. This news outlet is really becoming something like a newspaper online. Maybe weather is next? 

Stewart compares 'apples to oranges'

Last night on The Daily Show, John Stewart poked fun at the on going battle of The Presidency versus Fox News. When Mark Finkelstein came to our class the other day to discuss conservative, independent news, he touched on the subject, as well.

Huffington Post published a small blurb about the Daily Show skit citing a quote from White House Communication Director, Anita Dunn. Dunn said:

It's astounding the White House cannot distinguish between news and opinion programming. It seems self-serving on their part.

Finkelstein said though he could argue that CNN is somewhat bias, he feels as though discrediting a news source is unethical and unprofessional.

I agree. The President has every right not to watch Fox News, but to allow his team to make public statements encouraging citizens to stay away from a particular news station is petty.

Hopefully, this feud will end before someone gets hurt.
