Throwaway opinions:

The "Divine Proportions" site: I'd send that webmaster to http://www.losingmyreligion.com/ .

The Paula Zahn controversy: unflattering in almost every way to CNN, who should try to take the high road against Fox. See, the already-ridiculous Fox is apparently trying to corner the market on "newsbabes".

See, I believe that the era of bad news in general has got to go. Instead of beautiful news readers, we need smart people who understand what they're reading, and thus can communicate it effectively. Anchors who are actually in control.

And if they're smart enough to have a bias, they're also wise enough to understand how and why NOT to apply it. They say Cronkite was a flaming liberal all those years - well how much a credit is it that this wasn't really all that apparent?
