Down under the Manhattan/Brooklyn overpass, there is a pizzeria.
Grimaldi’s has been a New York institution for decades, and it attracts scores of New Yorkers, tourists and pizza connoisseurs to its small, cozy shop in what’s known as DUMBO (see first sentence).

What a brilliant idea! Lets give billions of dollars to the same corrupt health insurance companies that created the mess in the first place.

Finally! A politician who has the integrity to stand by his position. Just to provide a little back story, Congressman Grayson previously more or less stated that the Republican Health Care Plan is assumes that citizens will not fall ill, and if they do, well hopefully they die quickly. Republicans immediately asked Congressman Grayson to [...]

There is perhaps no harsher critic of Fox News than Keith Olbermann. Unless you count…the Fox Network.
On Sunday’s episode of Family Guy, Fox’s wildly successful animated comedy created by Seth MacFarlane, Lois Griffin takes a job at Fox News, where she discovers (surprise!) that they are only interested in forwarding conservative talking points.
The episode is just the latest in a series of rebukes against the television home of such conservative luminaries as Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck by other arms of the News Corporation. During the elections, Family Guy went after John McCain’s campaign, and several prominent Fox executives, including outgoing COO Peter Chernin who was featured in this episode, have held generous fundraisers for the same Democrats that Fox News attacks on a daily basis.
Similar inter-company feuds have surfaced elsewhere, most recently between MSNBC and CNBC, two cable news channels operated by NBC Universal. But none exemplify the same stark contrast that News Corp. holdings do. The problem that Fox News faces is that its boss Rupert Murdoch is a businessman first and conservative second. Fox News has been a cash cow for Murdoch, but so has Fox Network and Family Guy: just last year, Murdoch locked down Seth MacFarlane for the network with a contract worth over $100 million.
How about that for some irony? A conservative news network, arguably the only successful one in the US, attacked ruthlessly by its own parent company because of free market principles.

Late Update 10:49p: Sure enough, Bill O’Reilly aired his vitriolic segment on Think Progress and Amanda Terkel. Take a gander.

Update 6:33p: Fox News has released a preview for tonight’s episode of The O’Reilly Factor, and it looks like Amanda Terkel’s segment will air tonight. As much as it may pain you, watch tonight and see what they report. We will try and get hold of Amanda later this week for her comment, and THEN you can decide.
Amanda Terkel, a blogger for Think Progress (which is a project of the Center for American Progress just like us), has been the latest victim of Bill O’Reilly’s thug producers.
Terkel wrote on the blog about the Alexa Foundation’s curious decision to invite O’Reilly to speak at a fundraiser last week. The Alexa Foundation is a support organization for rape victims, while O’Reilly has gone so far as to suggest that women who dress a particular way or consume too much alcohol should expect to be raped.
Apparently Terkel was ambushed by notorious sleazebag Jesse Watters, who has gone after other notable O’Reilly critics like Keith Olbermann,  Newsday editor John Mancini, and The New Yorker’s Hendrick Hertzberg:



Read her account of how the interview went down.
Keep an eye out for the segment this week (see update above) on the O’Reilly factor, and note what they choose to air. We’ll be trying to get an interview with Terkel in the coming days.

Bill O'Reilly shamelessly ambushed Think Progress' Amanda Terkel over a blog post where Terkel criticized Bill O'Reilly for seemingly rationalizing the rape of a young woman.
