answers are slowly emerging to earlier-posed questions: rehnquist funeral set for wednesday; roberts hearing delayed until at least thursday.

early prediction. the liberal programs will be discussing not who is to blame for katrina (i mean, duh), but how much should the administration be blamed. (impeachment or resignation, as i've heard both laura flanders and rachel maddow discussing, seems like pie in the sky to me.) conservative programs will try to discuss katrina as little as possible--7:15pm last night, msnbc & cnn were still discussing katrina, while fox had moved on to rehnquist. when they do discuss it, they'll attack mayor nagin, governor blanco, and maybe chertoff and brown, who'll be the lynndie englands of this set piece. the conservative programs will follow fox's lead (ha ha) and talk about the impending roberts hearings.

my name is fred solinger. on wednesday, september 7, i will provide running commentary on seventeen straight hours of running commentary, opinion, and straight news from a variety of radio stations and television networks. my objective is to be objective ... beyond that, i'm not quite sure, but hopefully it'll be more lucid at 4am, when all of this is over. one thing is for sure: i won't be lucid at that hour.

links to the monitored programs, arranged ideologically*, in alphabetical order, lest i be charged w/ bias:

the fair & balanced:
all things considered
countdown w/ keith olbermann
the daily show w/ jon stewart
dayside w/ linda vester
factcheck.org
hannity & colmes
hardball w/ chris matthews
the newshour w/ jim lehrer
nightline w/ ted koppel
the o'reilly factor

the left:
the al franken show
the majority report w/ sam seder & janeane garofalo
media matters
the randi rhodes show
springer on the radio

the right:
media research center
the rush limbaugh show
the savage nation w/ michael savage
scarborough country w/ joe scarborough
the sean hannity show
the situation w/ tucker carlson

*that is, when the host has an avowed political position; otherwise, they are assumed to be independent. this is as applicable to bill o'reilly, who leans right, as it is to jon stewart, who leans left.
