Never mind the battle between the BBC and the Blair government. The real nemesis of the all-powerful British broadcasting institution is Murdoch.

(Yet.) The liberal power elite I hobnobbed with in Aspen seems terminally short on passion—with one tough-talking, very angry exception: Bill Clinton.

Are Bush’s Weapons of Mass Self-Destruction plutonium-grade? Will they turn up in Condi Rice’s office? And will they detonate by next November?

We know this about Howard Dean: He’s an antiwar ex-doctor and ex-governor. But is he the guy to beat Bush—or just a stand-in for the real candidate?

The Times newsroom rejoices at the return of Bill Keller, a stinging rebuke to Arthur Sulzberger Jr., who’d rejected him. So how does Arthur get his groove back?

The British are coming—again. The launch of a U.S. edition of the unabashedly liberal Guardian may be just what the Bush-whacked U.S. press needs.

The American media has an almost fetishistic interest in Al Jazeera and its correspondents—not least of all because the Arabic broadcaster learned its best tricks from American TV.
