Red Eye Last Night: ACORN Robots…And Mediaite
video Why isn't Pres. Obama happy? What will changing their name accomplish for ACORN? Why are women having more sex now than they did in the 60s? All these questions were answered and more on last night's (or this morning's) Red Eye, featuring Jill Dobson, Joe DeVito, robots and...Mediaite. (more...)
Slate Discovers Andrew Breitbart Hidden Under Right-Wing Outrage Machine
A little more than three weeks ago, Andrew Breitbart promised Red Eye's Greg Gutfeld that he would " down the institutional left" in "the next three weeks." While Breitbart later admitted he was joking, the deadline has arrived, and it's brought with it a media blitz worthy of his spectacular series of hotel-lobby Flip Cam interview at this year's CPAC. Yesterday, Slate released the second in what appears to be a series of profiles in various publications on the internet mogul, and for a figure as polarizing as Breitbart, writer Chris Beam paints a remarkably favorable picture. It's not a glowing biographical sketch-- there is no attempt to hide anything Beam finds noteworthy about Breitbart, whether that means his refreshingly comfortable relationship with four-letter words or his fear of expressing emotions other than outrage and amusement--but it's the most candid, three-dimensional look the public has ever gotten of him.

“Nice Andy” Breitbart Shows Up On Red Eye To Discuss “Angry Andy” At CPAC
video Hot off the heels of a career-defining weekend as CPAC's Miss Congeniality, right-of-center Internet personality Andrew Breitbart took to Fox News' late-night politically incorrect safe space Red Eye to chat with host Greg Gutfeld, giving the public a peek into the polemic's mind the Monday after. This Breitbart, however, was not the blisteringly aggressive soldier of truth that strolled the hotel lobby for leftists to publicly humiliate in viral YouTube videos, but a jolly - albeit obstinate - David laughing at how quickly his Goliaths are going down.

Red Eye Celebrates Third Year By Topping CNN Prime Time Last Week

MSNBC Anchor David Shuster Is Red Eye’s Newest Fan

MSNBC Needs to Grab Available Cox
With the recent announcement that Air America Radio will be filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a number of Air America’s top stars will be left in the lurch, with no Conan O’Brien-sized payout to ease their transition. Put Ana Marie Cox at the top of the list of those notables now looking for somewhere to land.
Cox is—was—the National Correspondent for Air America, and the host of its weekly show “The Inside Story.” Most famous for being the founding editor of the blog Wonkette, Cox went on to cover the 2008 campaign for Time at its “Swampland” blog and the now-defunct Radar magazine. She remains a contributing editor to Playboy, itself in possibly bad financial shape, hosts a regular live-chat with Tucker Carlson at the Washington Post, and occasionally contributes to The Daily Beast. So what’s she going to do now? (more...)
Media Matters Isn’t Quite Sure How To Take Red Eye’s Robot Attack

Ann Coulter Compares Meghan McCain To Tiger Woods Mistress
It's been a tough year for conservative firebreather Ann Coulter. She started out the year riding a wave of attention for her new book, but then Meghan McCain called her out by name in her Daily Beast column, touching off a proxy feud that saw McCain emerge triumphant.
Since then, Coulter has been overshadowed by ever-more-unhinged competitors like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, and watched as McCain's shining star reached cornea-burning levels. Now, she's reduced to taking extremely cheap shots at Meg at 3 in the morning. Enter Tiger Woods. (more...)
Red Eye Resurgence: More Demo Viewers Watch Fox At 3am Than CNN at 8pm
video Fox News' 3amET comedy/news hybrid Red Eye is in a league of its own when it comes to cable news shows. But that doesn't mean it isn't a player in the ratings. Despite its late (or early, depending on your sleep habits) start time, the ratings for the show continue to improve, and surprisingly, top some cable news competition you might not expect. (more...)
LAT Getting All Credit For Already Reported Obama-As-Joker Poster
VIDEO When is a big exclusive not actually so exclusive? How about when the blogosphere gets the story long before a mainstream outlet. This is what happened when the Los Angeles Times reported earlier this week a lengthy story purportedly revealing Firas Alkhateeb as the person who created the now-famous Obama-as-Joker poster in January. The story was picked up by many outlets, and the LAT was given the scoop. But that's not entirely accurate. (more...)
Fox News Has the Freshest Music Show on TV, Somehow
VIDEO
Red Eye is many things to many people. Well, to an average of 341,000 viewers in July 2009. Many on the political right celebrate the show as a conservative answer to the likes of The Daily Show, though the show's political and comedic leanings are more zoo crew than Savage Nation. A large chunk of the show is dedicated to riffs, rants, and in-jokes, often with a skeptically libertarian spin, i.e. "Red Eye fact: Obama is the most awesome man alive." Drudge lieutenant Andrew Breitbart is reportedly a big fan; when the Canadian government went after Red Eye over some controversial remarks about the Canadian military (Gutfeld later apologized), he penned a letter to the Washington Times in support of the show. (more...)
