*Obama’s War on Talk Radio
By Dick Morris, Townhall.com*
Obama's liberal philosophy dictates that when the news is bad, shoot the
messenger. The newest data from Arbitron, the company charged with measuring
the size of radio audiences, suggests that listenership to hip hop, inner
city, and minority radio has been overstated in the past and that the
popularity of conservative talk radio has been under-reported. This
conclusion - ideologically inconvenient for Obama - comes from the company’s
decision to dispense with the Stone Age way it has been measuring radio
audiences - by hand written diaries based on listener memory - with modern
machines which automatically record what the person is listening to and for
how long. The opening barrage in Obama's efforts to reign in talk radio was
fired by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) this week when its
acting Chairman Michael J. Copps announced an investigation of Arbitron’s
radio measuring technology called the Portable People Meter. (Not to be
confused with the Purple People Eater celebrated in song in the 1950s).

Times Plays Identity Politics with Sotomayor
By Don Feder, Boycott the NYT*
It was a foregone conclusion that The New York Times would love Judge Sonia
Sotomayor, Obama’s Supreme Court nominee. A long-time practitioner of
identity politics, the paper is fixated on race, gender and class. With
Sotomayor, it has a nominee who satisfies all three. In yesterday’s
editorial, The Times trilled, "It's impossible not to be moved by Judge
Sotomayor's story — born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican parents and brought up
in a city housing project." The left believes quotas should even be applied
to seats on the Supreme Court. At last, we have an Hispanic nominee--hooray,
hooray. Sotomayer herself is an advocate of identity politics. In one of her
lectures, she opined, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the
richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better
conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life" --as if race and
gender conferred some special wisdom.

*Obama Press Secretary laughs off birth certificate request
WorldNet Daily*
Somebody finally asked Barack Obama's White House press secretary about the
president's elusive birth certificate. When asked by WND White House
correspondent Les Kinsolving why the president, who has pledged transparency
in his administration, would not release his long-form birth certificate to
establish his constitutional eligibility for office, spokesman Robert Gibbs
guffawed in unison with members of the Washington press corps about the
concerns of 400,000 petitioners who have demanded it. "Are you looking for
the president's birth certificate?" he asked incredulously. "Lester, this
question in many ways continues to astound me. The state of Hawaii provided
a copy with the seal of the president's birth. I know there are apparently
at least 400,000 people – (laughter) – that continue to doubt the existence
of and the certification by the state of Hawaii of the president's birth
there, but it's on the Internet because we put it on the Internet for each
of those 400,000 to download. I certainly hope by the fourth year of our
administration that we'll have dealt with this burgeoning birth
controversy."

*Top Newspapers Execs. hold secret meeting
By James Warren, The Atlantic*
Here's a story the newspaper industry's upper echelon apparently kept from
its anxious newsrooms: A discreet Thursday meeting in Chicago about their
future. "Models to Monetize Content" is the subject of a gathering at a
hotel which is actually located in drab and sterile suburban Rosemont,
Illinois; slabs of concrete, exhibition halls and mostly chain restaurants,
whose prime reason for being is O'Hare International Airport. It's perfect
for quickie, in-and-out conclaves. There's no mention on its website but the
Newspaper Association of America, the industry trade group, has assembled
top executives of the New York Times, Gannett, E. W. Scripps, Advance
Publications, McClatchy, Hearst Newspapers, MediaNews Group, the Associated
Press, Philadelphia Media Holdings, Lee Enterprises and Freedom
Communication Inc., among more than two dozen in all. A longtime industry
chum, consultant Barbara Cohen, "will facilitate the meeting."
