      'My Muslim Faith' Quote Not a Slip, Just Misinterpreted

      (Newser) - Reports that Barack Obama mistakenly revealed his “Muslim faith” in a television interview are ridiculous, Frank James writes in the Chicago Tribune . Talking with George Stephanopoulos about suggestions he is a Muslim, Obama agreed “that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith.” Stephanopoulos corrected him, saying “Christian faith,” and Obama corrected the apparent gaffe, setting conservative blogs abuzz.

      Brokaw to Replace Russert

      (Newser) - NBC has anointed Tom Brokaw as Tim Russert's heir on "Meet the Press" through the 2008 election, the network announced today. "I feel right at home," said Brokaw, who has appeared on the public affairs show since the Watergate days. But Brian Williams—who took over NBC's Nightly News when Brokaw stepped down in 2004—was at the helm today, and he wasn't up to snuff, writes the Swamp's Jon Crewdson. More »

      Who Will Replace Him?

      (Newser) - It will be hard to replace Tim Russert, who led the top-rated Meet the Press for 17 years—but insiders are already guessing who will sit in his chair, the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Rove: From Politics to Punditry

      (Newser) - To stoke interest in cutthroat election coverage, cable news networks and other outlets are recruiting political strategists with credentials and big-time party connections, the New York Times reports. One of the newest pundits? None other than Karl Rove, now an analyst for Fox News and contributor to Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal. A Newsweek editor said he hired Rove in part to “responsibly provoke.” More »

      Talking Heads Call Nomination for Obama

      (Newser) - America’s pundit class has deemed the Democratic race over, shifting the conventional wisdom away from Hillary Clinton’s whisker of a chance, the New York Times reports. From Tim Russert’s assertion that “We now know who the Democratic nominee’s going to be, and no one’s going to dispute it” to the Drudge Report’s anointing Barack Obama “The Nominee,” the worm appears to have turned among analysts.

      Obama, Clinton Spar on Iran, Gas

      (Newser) - Obama likened Hillary's stance on Iran to George Bush's "cowboy diplomacy" on Meet the Press today, while Clinton took to ABC to defend the gas tax and told voters mired in the Jeremiah Wright controversy "We should move on." Tim Russert ignored her advice, however, and devoted his first 18 minutes to the pastor, reports the New York Times . “Obviously, it’s distracted us,” Obama admitted. More »

      Race Heats Up for Sunday News Anchors

      (Newser) - They are locked in an epic struggle for the nation's heart, the grizzled veteran versus the up-and-comer, both popular, both controversial. No, not Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Tomorrow, the real showdown is between Tim Russert, who is interviewing Obama, and George Stephanopoulos, who is interviewing Clinton at roughly the same time, the New York Times reports. More »

      Race Covered More Than Past 4 Combined

      (Newser) - The nightly network newscasts allotted more minutes to the presidential campaign in 2007 than they did in the pre-election years of 2003, 1999, 1995 and 1991—combined. The big three stations have all seen anchor changes since the last round, but Politico divines other reasons for the rise in airtime. There’s no incumbent running, several hopefuls qualify as celebrities, and Obama and Clinton are groundbreaking candidates. More »
