Betsy Andreu, wife of Lance Armstrong’s former teammate Frankie Andreu, erupted on CNN after listening to Armstrong’s interview with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday. Mrs. Andreu was a guest on Anderson Cooper’s “AC360″ and appeared visibly upset with Lance’s lack of contrition.
Armstrong joked with Oprah during the interview that while he admitted to Andreu that he called her “crazy” and a “bitch,” he “never called her fat” – implying that guesture was some form of consolation. Watch Andreu react:

Ten Years After Iraq: A Look At The Media’s Massive Failure
March 11th, 2013The 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq will remind most people of a divisive and dubious war that toppled Saddam Hussein but claimed the lives of nearly 4,500 Americans.
What it conjures up for me is the media’s greatest failure in modern times.
Major news organizations aided and abetted the Bush administration’s march to war on what turned out to be faulty premises. All too often, skepticism was checked at the door and the shaky claims of top officials and unnamed sources were trumpeted as fact.
By the time U.S. soldiers discovered there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the media establishment was left with apologies and explanations.

Roger Ailes, Adam Carolla and Racial Stereotypes
March 10th, 2013In my book, Race-Baiter, I talk a bit about a concept called confirmation bias; the practice of accepting evidence which backs your perceptions of events and issues, while rejecting or downplaying evidence which contradicts those ideas.
For example: If you think an acquaintance is a moocher, you remember every time he (or she) borrowed money and didn’t pay it back. But you may overlook the few times he bought you dinner or brought over groceries.
It’s a natural, human tendency. But when it’s applied to issues of race and culture, confirmation bias can produce some awful echoing of stereotypes.
Which brings us to a couple of figures in media making news this week: comic, radio personality and podcaster Adam Carolla and Fox News Channel mastermind Roger Ailes.
