Ruh-roh … are unions partly to blame for ‘unbearable whiteness of liberal media’?

Society & Culture

http://twitter.com/#!/dantebarry/status/465847066603040768 Writer Gabriel Arana’s new piece for the left-wing American Prospect is raising some eyebrows this morning, merely by acknowledging what conservatives have known for a long time: The liberal media is dominated by progressives of pallor. http://twitter.com/#!/aterkel/status/465860267445075968 You don’t say! It’s not just the Prospect. Journalism upstarts like Vox Media and FiveThirtyEighthave come under fire recently for lack of diversity in their hires, but that’s largely because they are drawing from the milky-white pool of “existing talent.” In the corner of the publishing industry that caters to college-educated wonks—a slightly fuzzy […]

Dining & Nightlife

http://twitter.com/#!/DiGiornoPizza/status/408767675838390273 Poor DiGiorno. Always the bridesmaid. But that didn’t stop the pizza company from capitalizing on Thursday night’s performance of “The Sound of Music Live!” As related hashtags dominated Twitter, DiGiorno live-tweeted the show to mixed reviews. http://twitter.com/#!/amylutz4/status/408798441255366656 http://twitter.com/#!/Lisellle/status/408802735610658816 http://twitter.com/#!/rachelveronica/status/408787073110261762 http://twitter.com/#!/LilMissRightie/status/408798614543032320 Tasty? Half-baked? Whatever the verdict on the company’s social media strategy, DiGiorno definitely got people talking. http://twitter.com/#!/TrendsNewYork/status/408788566404104192 Here are the tweets: http://twitter.com/#!/DiGiornoPizza/status/408771689858596864 DOUGH a crust an unbaked crust RAY, a guy that likes pizza ME a pizza liked by a guy named ray FAH no idea what fah […]

‘Lost my cool’: Rep. Grimm apologizes after threatening reporter, plans lunch date

Legislative Branch

http://twitter.com/#!/ChadPergram/status/428570044176404480 Last night, New York Rep. Mike Grimm was caught on camera getting rather testy with reporter Michael Scotto, apparently threatening to “throw [Scotto] off this f*cking balcony.” But after sleeping on it, Grimm seems to have had a change of heart: http://twitter.com/#!/ChadPergram/status/428566297895399424 http://twitter.com/#!/ChadPergram/status/428569917768491009 http://twitter.com/#!/ChadPergram/status/428570749452832768 http://twitter.com/#!/ChadPergram/status/428570986460356608 So, have fences been mended? http://twitter.com/#!/mikescotto/status/428560145942319105 OK. Just one piece of advice for Scotto: http://twitter.com/#!/JonahNRO/status/428571616399081472 Those are wise words. http://twitter.com/#!/ChadPergram/status/428574126928703488 *** Related: Rep.

Pandermania! RNC says ‘all Republicans support equal pay’

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/GOP/status/506524410158006272 We get that the RNC is trying to zing the White House for its rank hypocrisy on this issue. But seeming to embrace the socialist notion that the government should mandate equal pay by gender is a total messaging #fail. Related: ‘You first’: White House lectures about ‘earnings gap’ continue to wear thin ‘Come on! Really?’ Even CNN’s not buying Jay Carney’s weak spin of WH pay gap  Democrats position Paycheck Fairness Act as raise, ignore White House disparity   Read more: http://twitchy.com/2014/09/02/pandermania-rnc-says-all-republicans-support-equal-pay/
