Late Breaks: Frey's False Facts; McCain in HD; more
-James Frey packed his new novel with factoids about Los Angeles, but they're about as factual as his prison anecdotes. [LA Observed]
-Barack Obama says he'll do something about media consolidation if elected. [The Deal]
-Why doesn't Fox News identify Karl Rove as a John McCain supporter? [Salon]
-Speaking of McCain, will HDTV sink his campaign by revealing to voters how truly decrepit he looks? [Slate]
[Note to readers: Apologies for the minimal posting today; I came down with something nasty over the weekend and spent the day in bed alternating between sleep and 30 Rock. (Did you hear that Hulu's already getting more viewers than any of the networks' websites?) My immune system willing, I should be back to regular posting tomorrow.]
