Pajamas TV and the Tea Parties

By | 01.25.10 | 5:24 pm

One quick thing that I didn’t mention in today’s piece about a training session and media meet-and-greet that FreedomWorks held for Tea Party activists was the presence of Richard Pollock, the Washington, D.C., editor of Pajamas Media. The conservative media company and its PJTV channel were early, More…

Examiner Leads Conservative Response to Liberal Blogosphere

By | 06.19.09 | 6:00 am

For the first few years of George W. Bush’s presidency, Mark Tapscott was a journalist without a newsroom, shouting from the sidelines about his industry’s swift decline. Tapscott ran the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Media and Public Policy, and trained reporters in the use of technology for research and crunching More…

Too Much, Magic Bus

PajamasTV hasn’t really been in the news since it hired Sam “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher to report on the war in Gaza, but it’s still kicking. Some of its most popular content is coming from black conservative comic Alfonzo Rachel, who sometimes appears as “President Zobama.” He’s put together a More…

Swat Valley High: Taliban Spokesman Goes Quasi-Viral

By | 04.30.09 | 9:40 am

The NEFA Foundation has gotten ahold of an English-language video interview given by a Swat Valley spokesman for the Tehrik-e-Taliban — think of them as a big tent of Taliban factions — apparently recorded on April 27. You can hear Haji Muslim Khan expand on the finer points of More…

Plus, ‘Obama’ and ‘Fidel’ Both Have Five Letters

By | 04.09.09 | 9:52 am

Obviously I watched Glenn Reynolds’ “American Tea Party” interview with Publius Pundit blogger Robert Mayer as soon as I could. I’ve been familiar with Publius Pundit for years as a site that covered popular revolutions in third world nations. Mayer informs viewers of the PajamasTV show that the More…

Joe the Whiner

Look, the media doesn’t pay enough attention to Samuel Wurzelbacher. The key scene in Wurzelbacher’s latest episode of “Just Joe,” the Pajamas TV web show comes when he’s talking to a small group of reporters in the Capitol. Why aren’t there more reporters in the room? What is it More…

Your Plumber Can’t Save You Now

By | 02.02.09 | 2:04 pm

Last September, I was standing in James Lileks’ lawn at his 50th birthday party, a classy event that happened to overlap with the Republican National Convention, when I spotted Pajamas Media co-founder Roger L. Simon. More to the point, I spotted his posse. Simon was being trailed by at least More…

Punditin’ Ain’t Easy

One of the Right’s most prolific online political writers, Jennifer Rubin, puts out a story today headlined “Obama’s Centrism Could Drive the GOP Out of Business.”

The greatest champion of liberals (they thought) is on the verge of repudiating their agenda. But he is also undermining the opposition. The

I turned down a (very polite) request to appear on one of Pajamas Media’s online shows last week. Why?

This is why.

In Defense of Joe The Plumber’s Reporting Cred

By | 01.07.09 | 1:52 pm

Get that tone out of your voice, Aaron! You slyly mock Joe The Plumber’s forthcoming reporting assignment for Pajamas TV in Israel. But a closer look at the ongoing war in Gaza demonstrates why, now more than ever, the region needs Joe The Plumber.

Human rights groups and Palestinian More…
