FRIDAY ROUND-UP: PEPSI, THE NEW EASON, AND THE MORANS

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 20, 2005 07:02 AM

Sizzling hot stories breaking out of the blogosphere:

- Pepsi falls flat. My friends at Power Line have done an absolutely fabulous job reporting on the insipid, America-bashing commencement address of Pepsi exec Indra Nooyi. See here, here, here, here, and here. Hugh Hewitt has some sage advice for the company, whose damage control efforts are fizzling. Third Wave Dave gives Pepsi a call.

- Linda Foley: The new Eason Jordan. These people never learn. La Shawn Barber has the lowdown and lots of links. Trey Jackson has video.

- Terry Moran: Newsweek’s new mouthpiece. Hugh Hewitt has the scoop and also links to an admirable defense of Moran from Moran’s brother, Rick, who blogs at Right Wing Nuthouse. Rick writes:

I’ve received several emails from people asking about my feelings regarding my brother riding Scott McClellen at the White House press briefing.

First of all, thank you for your emails and comments. Feedback like this is what separates blogs from the Mainstream Press. However, those expecting me to criticize or even critique what my brother does for ABC news will be disappointed.

I happen to know that, despite what you might think, my brother is a loyal American who loves this country as much as I do. Only good things can flow from that. His job is to ask questions of people in power. Only good things can flow from that. And if it upsets you about the way he does his job, don’t come to this site or email me. Go to the ABC website and talk to them. I am not responsible for how my brother performs his job.

I am responsible for the content of this site which will be unrelenting in its criticism of the MSM and its anti-Bush, anti-war bias – sentiments my brother mostly agreed with on Hugh Hewitt’s show earlier today. The only responsibility toward my brother that I have is the love and affection I feel toward him and his family and the tremendous pride I take in his professional accomplishments.

“Blood is thicker than politics,” Rick writes. That’s how it should be.
