Glenn Beck Leads Show With ACORN Story Focused on VS Clip
  • The vast right-wing conspiracy at work – lol. From VS to the Glenn Beck Show in one day: Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com No one does a better job educating their audience and connecting the dots on complex story-lines than Glenn Beck, and he deserves a ton of credit for exposing the radical agenda of ACORN and others on the left. I had forgotten about that old clip [...]
    • Palin vs. Shatner
  • This is pretty fun: Obviously Shatner was in on the gag. You gotta love they guy. He really is a good sport and able to laugh at himself. I wouldn’t doubt he gave Sarah some tips on Shatner-esque deadpan readings. It would be nice if conservatives were treated this way by the media routinely, rather than as pariahs. Sadly, this is the exception to the rule. [HT: Say Anything]
    • Robert Reich Responds to VS Video…
  • I had a feeling he would…and sure enough here is Reich’s response: Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Rush, and the right-wing blogosphere seem interested in a talk I gave in September, 2007 to students in a political science class here at Berkeley, in which I played the role of a presidential candidate so politically incorrect and tone-deaf as to pummel every sacred cow in sight — including the notion that our [...]
    • VS Post Makes O’Reilly’s Talking Points Memo
  • On July 14th I submitted a post to Big Journalism about Newsweek’s downplaying of the New Black Panther story. After some light editing it was posted early on the 15th (I posted a slightly different version here at VS later that afternoon). Big Journalism contributor John Nolte wrote a follow up which included some kind words for my original piece. I thanked him via Twitter and figured that was the [...]
    • VS Interviews Yesterday
  • Yesterday, Morgen and I were interviewed for a documentary on new media and how it is changing the news business. The final show will be about 100 minutes long, of which our talk about blogging in general and the Sotomayor nomination in particular will be just a fraction.The show is being produced by a Japanese news company that makes multiple versions for sale to places like PBS and the BBC.

    • Senator Grassley Confirms the Schakowsky Video Was a Key Moment in Reform
  • Back in December (2009), Nate Silver wrote a post suggesting that the Public Option was a no-go from the start. He showed that opposition had coalesced by early May and never really changed. I wrote a detailed response explaining that he’d left out one critical piece of information, i.e. the video of Jan Schakowsky which Morgen posted here on April 27th, 2009. I showed that all of the comments in [...]
    • Mark Levin Features VS Clip of Steny Hoyer on the “Slaughter Rule”
  • Mark Levin is pretty much my favorite talk radio host so it is always a thrill when he features an audio or video clip that we discovered. Here is Levin on his show this afternoon playing our clip of Steny Hoyer from last night: [audio:http://www.verumserum.com/media/2010/03/Levin-audio.mp3|titles=Levin audio] Levin has been at the forefront of this issue since the news first broke that House Democrats were considering using this “deem and pass” [...]
    • Hillary’s Secret Scandal
  • peterpaul2.jpgHillary and Bill are going after the yucks in a new internet video based on the final episode of the Sopranos. Someone (can’t recall who) asked whether a couple of politicos known for shady business deals should be cultivating mobster chic, even as a joke. Meanwhile, some actual shenanigans are threatening to deliver a serious blow to Hillary’s campaign. At least they would if the media weren’t utterly tone deaf [...]
    • Verum Serum on the BBC
  • This morning I got a call from a BBC radio producer asking if I’d be willing to comment on the murder of Gayle Williams and the broader question of faith and aid work. When the producer called I was changing a diaper and my son immediately started wailing. I was fairly certain I’d never hear from them again. To my surprise, I did receive a call and was able to [...]

    • On a Roll

    John on April 27, 2009 at 9:12 pm

    We’ve had a good week. Last Friday, Mark Levin picked up the clip of Barney Frank which Morgen brought to light and used it on air. The Great One also gave us a nice hat tip (unfortunately a producer gave him a misspelled version of our name, but close enough). That’s the second time this blog has been mentioned on national radio (the first being Hugh Hewitt).

    It got even better today, Bill O’Reilly played part of the clip on his show (click to view):

    Introducing this, O’Reilly just says “now we found a new tape…” He doesn’t say where he found it, but if you’re a VS reader you already know.

    BTW, I didn’t tell Morgen I was posting this, so it doesn’t count as self-congratulatory. Well, maybe a little, but I think it’s been well earned.
