Probably one of the most important benchmarks for online video, in my opinion, was the study conducted by TNS and the Conference Board last year that found 16 percent of American Internet households watch TV broadcasts online. That seemed pretty impressive at the time, especially given that it pre-dated the existence of Hulu along with widespread promotion of other network’s streaming offerings. It signaled that there was a real audience for premium entertainment on the ...

George W. Bush won North Dakota twice, with 60% of the vote, to 38% for both Al Gore and John Kerry. Bill Clinton failed to win the state twice, and his closest margin in the state came in 1996 when Bob Dole defeated him by 6.8%. This was as he was delivering a sound electoral-college thrashing to the Kansas senator, 379-159. No Democrat has won the state since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. That was ...

Conservative columnist Peggy Noonan had some 'splaining to do last night. On Wednesday, she -- along with MSNBC's Chuck Todd and prominent GOP strategist Mike Murphy -- was caught on a live mike calling the selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate "political bullshit," something at odds with the tone of the column she'd just published. So now she has explained herself. And apologized. Well, to a certain extent, at least. ...

Pakistan is at a crossroads. The gravity of the situation has led me, at the insistence of my Pakistan People's Party (PPP), to run for president in Saturday's elections. My children and I are still mourning our beloved leader, wife and mother, Benazir Bhutto. We did not make the decision for me to run lightly. But we know what is at stake. Chief among the challenges that all Pakistanis face is the threat of global ...

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- John McCain's campaign, in the midst of waging war against the media over Sarah Palin and the campaign's vetting of her, is apparently picking up its toys and going home. Politico's Mike Allen says that McCain advisor Steve Schmidt plans to put out a statement on Wednesday that will read only: "The McCain campaign will have no further comment about our long and thorough process." This move seems to have been ...

Those who are fans of the "McSame" strategy will be thrilled by this new Obama ad attacking McCain that's hitting the airwaves today, just in time for Bush's address to the convention via satellite tonight. The spot flashes "The Same" across the screen in huge white letters, and runs through a litany of areas where Bush and McCain are "the same" -- Iraq, the economy, etc. The ad will air on national cable and in ...

It looks like the McCain camp is now actively taking steps to punish media outlets that give them bad coverage. Wolf Blitzer just reported that the campaign has cancelled a scheduled interview with Larry King due to an unfriendly segment last night on CNN -- the segment we flagged last night where the network's Campbell Brown grilled McCain spokesperson Tucker bounds over Sarah Palin's lack of foreign policy experience. Here's last night's segment: Blitzer said ...

He was for blaming the parents before he was against it. On the pinhead front, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant. The sister of Britney says she is shocked. I bet. Now most teens are pinheads in some ways. But here the blame falls primarily on the parents of the girl, who obviously have little control over her or even over Britney Spears. Look at the way she behaves. Last night, O'Reilly was beside himself ...

The map as of today (or a few ...
