  Mr. Zeitz is quite correct.I was imprecise in my language in that I meant cigarette smoking.I don't believe Eisenhower smoked in public when he was President, and certainly not after his 1955 heart attack.

  An interesting exchange between Josh Zeitz and John Steele Gordon-"How Important Is Television News?"-prompts these mild thoughts: Josh Zeitz points out that despite Euro-phobias about Fox news running America, the facts are that Fox news has a much wider audience than its cable rivals, a much smaller audience than its network rivals, and a staggeringly smaller audience than NPR's main news shows.
  ...
  In any case, Josh Zeitz then looks back at the 1960s, when the alleged effects of broadcast news are said to have turned the American people against segregation and the Vietnam War, and finds that a lot more people were reading newspapers than consuming broadcast news, which suggests that broadcast news cannot have been a significant source of social upheaval.
  ...
  I thank Mr. Zeitz for the information he provided, but it does not quite answer my question.
  ...
  Mr. Zeitz writes, "Fox also stood out for its lack of coverage on the firings of the U.S. attorneys, compared with the other channels.The story, which gained real momentum in mid March, consumed a mere 2% of Fox's total airtime.CNN devoted twice that percent (4%) and MSNBC four times (8%)."
  
  This would seem to prove my case of unconscious liberal bias at CNN and MSNBC, and I thank Mr. Zeitz for it.
  ...
  Mr. Zeitz writes, "One last note.
  ...
  Josh Zeitz wrote, on the fortieth anniversary of the Six-Day War, that it is "established lore that the Six-Day War encouraged American Jews to reconsider their liberalism on domestic and foreign policy".He goes on to express skepticism that anything of the kind occurred, especially at the level of foreign policy, since "the standard narrative on American Jews and the Six-Day War is wrong. . . . On a grassroots level Jews continued to identify as liberal Democrats.
  ...
  Struck by the durability and breadth of the notion that American Jews control American foreign policy and push it to the right (Josh Zeitz teaches at Cambridge, where this view seems more common than one would have hoped, given the weight of evidence on the other side of the question), he concludes that "the Six-Day War . . . laid the foundation of an inaccurate but still resonant charge that blames American Jews for so many of the world's woes, even as it fundamentally misreads American Jewish political culture."I more or less agree with this account of the situation, for given the standard correlates of electoral behavior (wealth is one of them), American Jews continue to vote for the Democrats and support a liberal foreign policy in remarkable numbers.I am not sure that events in the Middle East will always be irrelevant to the electoral behavior of American Jews, but I do think the pattern Josh Zeitz describes will continue for quite a while, although the likely reason for this is not a very cheering one.
  
  Here's why: For most of the period 1967-2007, both major U.S. political parties have followed similar policies on Israel and the Palestinians.

  I don't recommend Bill O'Reilly any more than Joshua Zeitz would.

  Mr. Zeitz notes a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism finding that Fox spent more daytime air on Anna Nicole Smith than on Iraq and less on Iraq than CNN and MSNBC did.

  Zeitz offers Smith a stiffer challenge
  ...
  Admirers of the latest Democratic unknown, Josh Zeitz, responded with indignant e-mails, telling me this year will be different.
  
  >
  
  So I sat down for a conversation with Zeitz and his campaign manager, Steve D'Amico.
  ...
  Zeitz, 34, of Bordentown, is an author with a Ph.D. in American history who has taught at Rutgers, Harvard and Cambridge.With the help of influential Democrats and by personally working the phones six hours a day he has raised more than $200,000 to date, far more than any of Smith's previous opponents.
  ...
  The chairman of the money-bestowing Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee headlined a fundraiser for Zeitz in suburban Washington last year, and the committee, though it hasn't targeted the Fourth District as one that's likely to switch parties, is keeping an eye on the race.
  
  For these reasons, the 2008 campaign in the arena stretching from Trenton's East and South Wards to Point Pleasant promises to be more interesting than usual.According to Zeitz, Democrats now outnumber Republicans here, thanks to the hotly contested Democratic presidential primary that added 40,000 new Democrats to the rolls."The district has gotten younger, it's gotten more diverse and it's gotten more Democratic-leaning," Zeitz said.
  
  The candidate intends to hammer the message that Smith's image of moderation and independence is a veneer that masks his true record.
  ...
  His position is sincerely held -- a lot of my friends and supporters hold it -- and I respect it," Zeitz said."But I think most people are looking for a constructive answer in the middle.They want to make abortion legal and rare."
  
  Smith, however, led the fight in Congress to sharply limit U.S. funding for overseas family-planning agencies, funding "that would have benefited tens of millions of people in the developing world," Zeitz said.
  ...
  "This is something people in this district don't know, and when they know, they're not going to like it," Zeitz said.
  ...
  Zeitz intends to press him on this issue, in part by highlighting Smith's habit of staying close to Washington and his home in Virginia and seldom visiting the small apartment he rents in Hamilton.
  ...
  Smith has "become a creature of the institution in Washington, and no longer believes that the people in New Jersey deserve the respect of somebody who will come home and explain his votes," Zeitz said.
  ...
  Unlike some previous challengers, Zeitz brings zest to campaigning."This, in some ways, is the greatest adventure of my life," he said.
  ...
