Chris Matthews bias? Media at its worst.

Russell — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 17:44:23 +0000

I’m happy for Barack Obama, but the blatant “Obamamania” in this country is a little concerning when it occurs in the media so openly. See the video of Chris Matthews saying his job is to support the president? Then read the quote from Theodore Roosevelt. “Every man who parrots the cry of ’stand by the [...]

Proposition 8: Marriage in California

Russell — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 04:12:06 +0000

These Proposition 8 videos are worth watching as they discuss the marriage issue which will be on the ballot in California next month, an issue that was already decided on by 61 percent of voters and then overturned by four activist judges.

Ben Sollee

Russell — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 04:55:35 +0000

I’ve really been enjoying Ben Sollee’s music. He plays a mean cello and has a nice cover of the Sam Cooke song “Change is Gonna Come. (myspace)” “A Few Honest Words” is another great one, which is only found on his website. While you’re at it check out Jamie Lidell . . . He’s a slender Englishman [...]

Pork and Beans YouTube/Weezer video

Russell — Fri, 23 May 2008 23:02:53 +0000

These guys are consistent. Like the sun coming up. Weezer’s new “Pork and Beans” video features many familiar YouTube stars from around the world . . . (Don’t believe the hype telling you this is leaked as though “leaked” means the record label didn’t put it out early on purpose).

The media markets

Russell — Wed, 07 May 2008 22:45:19 +0000

Seth Godin said it better than I’ve been trying to say for months. “The media markets. The product they sell is drama.” He continues . . . There isn’t media bias in favor of Hillary (my friend Jeff is the first to point that out). Nor is there media bias in favor of floods. There’s media [...]

Why doesn’t my website show up in Google?

Russell — Tue, 06 May 2008 18:18:29 +0000

My wife sent me an email from one of her friends asking why a website didn’t show up in a search engine. It was kind of a fun exercise to see if I could explain to someone the “why” knowing they didn’t know anything about why. Here’s what I came up with. Anything you would [...]

Headline News Friday (full of misleading “news”)

Russell — Fri, 02 May 2008 17:15:42 +0000

When I logged onto CNN this morning the headline had a gut wrenching photo that had a big (-20,000) on it in reference to the loss of jobs for April. Minutes later, the headline read ‘Not as bad as we thought.’ Well, which is it? The answer is … -20,000 will get people to read the [...]

Many of you probably know someone who has had cancer. I do.

I’m sure Cory and his family could use your help. Details for a benefit are below as [...]

Headline: Group predicts rise in Utah foreclosures First Paragrah: A new report says Utah’s housing bubble is forecast to burst in a big way, with one in 25 Utah homeowners projected to be in foreclosure in the next two years.
