Ten years ago, Jesse Ventura was elected governor of Minnesota. Who celebrated birthdays over the weekend? Jane Wusterbarth, Bo Harmon, Adam Kushner, Sarah Smith, David Sirota, Eric Wall. Today?

Today's FishbowlDC comment of the day (with regards to Friday's post on " ": Reader XXX writes, " " Keep the FishbowlDC discussion going by dropping your comments here.

NEWSPAPERS Politicker reports, "The REAL beginning of the end for newspapers" Wordyard reports, "Andreessen's newspaper advice echoes Grove's, a decade ago" E&P reports, "College Papers Back Obama -- By 79 to 1" The News & Record's Editor's Log reports, "The Doonesbury strip for Wednesday is set in Iraq with his military characters sitting around a television as Obama is declared the next President of the United States." Vanity Fair has an excerpt "from The Man Who Owns the News: Inside the Secret World of Rupert Murdoch, by Michael Wolff" Regarding a reader's question on whether The Washington Post changed their style to start referring to their interview subjects by their first name, another reader writes, "Re: Washington Post referring to interview subjects by first name: When you're talking about two people with the same last name, it's not at all uncommon (depending on section) to refer to first name. If they're both Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong, you can't call them both 'Armstrong,' and few places outside the NYT use courtesy titles. Using the whole name on every reference is just unwieldy." Another reader writes, "the question about post changing its style to first names is off -- the article probably uses cathal because it's discussing both cathal and his wife. Just saying Armstrong would be confusing because it could mean either." A reader writes in, asking, "Is Loraine Woellert of bloomberg off the market? She has been seen on the campaign trail wearing a big ring." Top of post TV Ralph Hanson reports, "We all know the media are biased. But the Big Question is -- What kind of bias is there?

Washington Post reports, "State Department spokesman Sean McCormack has long had it up to here with some in the mainstream media -- the regulars who cover the department and travel with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice -- complaining that they're constantly pushing to be 'edgy' rather than just reporting the news. To get around the MSM 'filter,' the State Department, along with other agencies, has gone to the Internet, presenting online chats, Q&As and blogs."
