Charlie Sheen, late-night tragedy: Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Fallon show some compassion: VIDEO It takes a strong late-night host to resist doing Charlie Sheen jokes , and that man is Craig Ferguson. He announced earlier this week that he wouldn’t be doing any Sheen-is-crazy humor. Ferguson has a greater frame of cultural reference than the other hosts, and he reached back to the ancient London hospital that gave us the term “ bedlam ” — a choice word for the media frenzy surrounding Sheen, but, to Ferguson’s point, an example of a place where mental patients were ridiculed by the public.

Click here to view this media This was quite the wild exchange on Fox News yesterday morning. Anthony Weiner makes the argument that Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from all court decisions that are related to the new health-care law since his wife made over $700K from groups that oppose it, and Thomas himself has stated that he agrees with those groups, basically indicating that he’s already ruled before the evidence has been presented. Weiner’s argument is that when money is involved it taints that Justice. That’s a very good point — one that Fox talkers would be shouting from the rooftops if the subject were a “liberal” justice. Megyn Kelly, however, argues that since Ginny’s a lobbyist, that’s not grounds for Clarence to have to withdraw from cases. Weiner doesn’t let her off the hook, so she resorts to the BillO Interruption technique to cut him off when he told her that Justice Kagan has recused herself on almost half of her cases on the Supreme Court to teach her how that could work. Kelly wasn’t happy. KELLY: just, just, let, let… WEINER: First, let me respond to your points. KELLY: No, I’m responding to you, sir.

WEINER: No, you said she had to — yeah, I’m not sure what really goes on at Fox that’s actually coverage, but we’ll get to — that’s another conversation. KELLY: OK, OK. It continued on from there.

March 3, 2011 No Comment
Two US airmen were killed by a Muslim terrorist in Germany yesterday, but neither CBS nor NBC thought it worthy of more than 30 seconds of coverage on their evening newscasts Wednesday night. While ABC devoted a full segment of the March 2 “World News” to the issue, the CBS “Evening News” and the NBC “Nightly News” offered only scant news briefs and buried the story deep into their broadcasts. “Troops under attack in Germany, targeted by a gunman shouting in Arabic about jihad,” intoned ABC anchor Diane Sawyer, introducing the segment. In their brief reports, neither CBS nor NBC mentioned that the suspected gunman uttered “jihad, jihad” during his fatal rampage. On the other hand, Martha Raddatz, ABC senior foreign affairs correspondent, reported that the alleged gunman, Arid Uka, opened fire on a bus carrying US airmen at a German airport, killing two and injuring two more while screaming God is great in Arabic and chanting “jihad, jihad.” In contrast to the ABC report, which appeared toward the top of the broadcast, NBC anchor Brian Williams and CBS anchor Katie Couric spent less than 30 seconds each discussing the tragic act of terror and stuffed it between other news briefs near the middle of the broadcast. The following is Williams's news brief, which occurred more than 10 minutes into the broadcast: Two members of the US Air Force, on their way to Afghanistan, were killed. Two others badly injured today, when a gunman opened fire on a US military bus at the airport in Frankfurt, Germany. A 21-year-old man was arrested at the scene. Relatives said he is a German Muslim who worked at the airport. German police aren't ready to call this an act of terrorism but they so far aren't ruling it out either. Couric's coverage, which was also presented roughly 10 minutes into the half-hour broadcast, was similarly terse: In other news, 13 U.S. airmen headed to Afghanistan came under attack today in Germany. They were on a shuttle bus at the Frankfurt Airport when a gunman opened fire. Two of the Americans were killed, two others wounded. German police arrested an airport employee, 21-year-old Arid Uka. His family describes him as a devout Muslim. The police say he had argued with the airmen just before the shooting. A full transcript of ABC's coverage can be found below: ABC World News March 2, 2011 6:35 p.m. EST DIANE SAWYER: And now, what happened today to American Air Force. Troops under attack in Germany, targeted by a gunman shouting in Arabic about jihad. President Obama vowed to get justice. Here's Martha Raddatz. MARTHA RADDATZ, ABC senior foreign affairs correspondent: The Air Force bus was parked just outside the international terminals. On board, at least a dozen US Air Force security personnel who arrived from England on their way to a US. base in Germany. According to law enforcement officials, the gunman walked up to the bus, pulled out a semi-automatic weapon and began firing again and again, all the while, shouting “Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,” Arabic for God is great. Two airmen were killed, including a driver, and two more critically injured, when after nine rounds, the gun jammed. Some of the surviving airmen grabbed the shooter as he continued shouting “Allahu Akbar” and “jihad, jihad.” A German police officer then took the man into custody. BARACK OBAMA, president of the United States: I'm saddened and outraged by this attack. I want everybody to understand that we will spare no effort in learning how this outrageous act took place. RADDATZ: Law enforcement officials say the shooter is 21-year-old Arid Uka, whose parents moved to Germany decades ago from Kosovo. An uncle told the Associated Press he is a devout Muslim who worked at the Frankfurt Airport. Security had been beefed up at the airport after an informant said a group linked to al-Qaeda was planning to gun down civilians in a public place. The FBI is still looking into this shooter's background or to see if there was a larger plot. But Diane, thus far, they have no indications of that. SAWYER: All right, Martha, thanks tonight. –Alex Fitzsimmons is a News Analysis intern at the Media Research Center. Click here to follow him on Twitter.

March 3, 2011 No Comment
Click here to view this media You’ve got to love the kids stepping up like this in support of their teachers. More student protests, this time in Idaho. Idaho Students Stage Walkout to Oppose Teacher Layoffs, Collective Bargaining Curbs : AMY GOODMAN: I want to move now from Indiana—well, you’re in Illinois, but usually in Indiana—to Idaho, where hundreds of high school students walked out of classes to protest a plan to lay off public school teachers and curtail their rights to collective bargaining. One of the student leaders behind the walkout was Jonny Saunders, a 17-year-old debate student at Timberline High School in Boise. Jonny has become an internet sensation after a video was posted online of him speaking at a rally in Boise last month. JONNY SAUNDERS: I know we have a tough time parting with our money to pay for teachers, and I know the dirty word here in this state is “taxes.” I know we can’t afford to pay for our children’s future. I understand that. We’re all a too little caught up in buying another car to raise our taxes. I understand that. No, no, I get it. RALLY AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah. Let’s not send our taxes out of state. JONNY SAUNDERS: Yeah, let’s send them somewhere else. But the thing is that we need to pay for a society that we live in. Teaching is not just another job in this society; it’s the way our future is shaped, and it’s the way the next generation is raised. AMY GOODMAN: That was 17-year-old high school student Jonny Saunders from Boise, Idaho, joining us now by Democracy Now! video stream. Why did you lead this walkout, Jonny? JONNY SAUNDERS: Just a clarification: I didn’t necessarily lead the walkout. The project was a different student; it was Tyler Honsinger of Boise High, who started it. I just extended the branch over to my high school, at Timberline High. But the answer to why we started or why we necessarily had a walkout is to show that students, too, indeed oppose this bill and that there’s no real student that I’ve met that supports it, except for the students of businessmen or the students of parents that necessarily support it because it benefits their industry. The general attitude of students today is that we’re kind of caught in the crosshairs, so to speak, that we are being blamed by politicking senators that we are the ones that are being abused by our teachers or something like that. And we just wanted to show that it was our free will, and we chose to oppose the bill—it wasn’t the evil teachers that were brainwashing us—that we had read the bill, and we oppose what it said. AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about the education system? You talked about—you spoke against merit pay, which is a very—there’s a very big movement for this all over the country—saying the plan would ultimately lead to teachers only teaching to test. Why? JONNY SAUNDERS: Well, the system of merit pay, it’s not a flawed system. I understand that people respond to incentives. But the incentive in merit pay is the incorrect one. When you have standardized testing, especially math tests, in particular, and tests like that that are the only metric of how student progress is measured, the teacher can give up on their creative curriculum. Teaching is—should be—at least, it comes down to the philosophy of what you think education should be, whether it should be kids memorizing facts or whether it should be a teacher that teaches their kids to function in the real world. And what merit pay does is it incentivizes teachers to, quote, “drill and kill” the test answers, or sometimes they will—it literally gives them an incentive just to increase test scores, and so they can—I’m not claiming any teacher of being dishonest, but it does incentivize cheating. It incentivizes not going off curriculum, because the second you step off curriculum, that’s another thousand dollars you lose off your paycheck. If you’re not drilling and making kids memorize exactly what’s on the curriculum, then you’ll end up losing money. And that’s a very powerful motivator, as the people who passed the bill know. It’s just that the political reality of what merit pay does is very different than the lofty rhetoric of rewarding teachers for being good teachers. Yeah, and it just turns into a negative system that turns into rote memorization every time. AMY GOODMAN: Jonny Saunders, I want to thank you for being with us—we have come to the end of our show—student activist at Timberline High School in Boise, Idaho. As we continue to cover the protests around this country, from the Midwest to the Middle East to North Africa, stay with us in these days. You can go to our website for updates at democracynow.org.
