I love that many television news people keep telling us “but this is what audiences want to see!” Somehow, I doubt that.

I believe that, when my daughters grow up, barriers to marriage equality for same-sex couples will seem as archaic, and as unfair, as the laws we once had against inter-racial marriage. And I want them to know that, even if he was a little late, their dad came down on the right side of history.

The Obama administration is fighting to block access to names of visitors to the White House, taking up the Bush administration argument that a president doesn’t have to reveal who comes calling to influence policy decisions. Despite President Barack Obama’s pledge to introduce a new era of transparency to Washington, and despite two rulings by a federal judge that the records are public, the Secret Service has denied msnbc.com’s request for the names of all White House visitors from Jan. 20 to the present.

Why do hotels buy beautiful HDTVs and drive them with stretched SD pictures and mono sound?

good question.

Because you can’t split an HD signal 250 ways cheaply. For most big == HD anyway.

and since most people are in a hotel room for a very short amount of time, they’re not really going to care all that much about an HD vs. SD picture.
