<p>NBC News has <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200709070006&http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3898804/" title="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3898804/">announced</a>
that Christian Broadcasting Network
senior national correspondent David Brody will appear on the September 9
edition of NBC&#39;s <i>Meet the Press</i>:
"We will have insights &amp; analysis on the race for the White House and
the busy week in politics with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting
Network and John Harwood of the Wall Street Journal and CNBC." As <i>Media Matters for America</i> <a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200708280012?src=item200709070006" title="http://mediamatters.org/items/200708280012">documented</a>,
in an August 21 <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200709070006&http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/216806.aspx" title="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200709070006&http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/216806.aspx">post</a> on his CBNnews.com blog -- titled "Fred, You&#39;re
Such a Tease!" --
Brody characterized male blogger Lane Hudson, who filed a <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200709070006&http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/blogger-files-fec-complaint-against-thompson-2007-08-20.html" title="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200709070006&http://thehill.com/campaign-2008/blogger-files-fec-complaint-against-thompson-2007-08-20.html">complaint</a> against former Sen. Fred
Thompson (R-TN)
with the Federal Election Commission,
as Thompson&#39;s "angry girlfriend." In his complaint, Hudson accused Thompson, who announced on September 6 that he is running for
president, of violating the Federal Election Commission&#39;s
"testing the waters" <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200709070006&http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/candregis.shtml" title="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200709070006&http://www.fec.gov/pages/brochures/candregis.shtml">clause</a>.</p>

<p>After asserting that Thompson was handling speculation about
his presidential campaign "like the cool, handsome jock in high school
who teased all the girls who wanted to go out with him," Brody wrote:
"Well, now Fred Thompson has an angry girlfriend. His name (don&#39;t go
there) is Lane Hudson."</p>
