Media Vampires Savaging Their Own & the First Amendment

Liberal "jounalists" join ScumBama in his attack on Fox news.

Like Alterman, Menand too says that Fox “is a politically biased organization,” since it is run by Roger Ailes, an old Nixon aide who embodies partisan politics. I guess it is not like The New Yorker, whose objectivity is that of old fashioned left liberals like Hendrik Hertzberg, David Remnick and the other staple of conventional liberal editors at the magazine. They, of course, in his eyes are not “politically biased,” since bias is only the repository of conservative news organizations and journals. They are simply “objective,” as anyone who reads their continual paeans to Obama and their derogatory “Talk of the Town” comments on George W. Bush, neo-conservative villains and Republicans generally knows.

The lines are being drawn. And these assholes are on the wrong side.

Shame on 'em.

History will judge them as liars and frauds, sleazy fascist apparatchik operatives. Thank God for Karma. At least we know they'll get—sooner or later—exactly what they deserve.

The Times Gets Paddled

Investor's Business Daily spanks the New York Times in this editorial.

Doesn't tell us anything we don't already know, being consumers of Fox News and Talk Radio, but it's nice to hear it, nevertheless.

They WANTED "Change"!

I think the recognition that the Slobbering Marxist Media is in reality, the "Fringe" media is spreading.

Glenn Beck announced on his television program last night that that's what he's going to call them! (Is he reading my blog?)

And just today, I read someone call Drudge, Breitbart & Fox News the Big Three!

Plan progressing nicely.

Go Home!

Did you all see this? It's heartwarming stuff.

The crowd at the Capitol yesterday made it clear what they think of CNN "news"...



Poor dears, plowing ahead, making themselves look ridiculous...don't seem to have a clue.

The pathetic Slobbering Media have simply not figured out yet that they are entirely irrelevant.

CNN's "Reporter"

I just sent the following letter to CNN because of this:

I can't help wondering where you hire your "reporters"?

From ACORN? From Barack Obama's campaign? From the Progressive Caucus?

The shameful and ignorant display of agenda driven advocacy that presented itself as "reporting" by Susan Roesgen made a mockery of the proud history of journalism, and of any attempt by CNN to represent itself as a "news" organization.

It's too bad I wasn't there when Ms. Roesgen demanded to know why anyone would be angry about taxes when the state of Lincoln was getting $4 billion dollars from the federal government.

I would have asked her where she imagines that money came from. I can only suppose that Ms. Roesgen is unaware of the fact that "the government" does not HAVE any money, and does not MAKE any money, but that every dime they "give away" is looted from someone else in the form of....

....wait for it....


.....TAXES!

As a reporter, Ms. Roesgen is an ignorant boob. As a human being, she is rude and offensive. As a political hack, she is transparent and clumsy.

Not a very good reflection on the professionalism of your network.

I don't suppose it will make the slightest difference. But it felt good to send it.

I Couldn't Add a Thing...

Media Bubble, Sept. 2 -- Embattled former beauty queen Sarah Palin* continued to wilt yesterday under the pressure of numerous fair, evenhanded media questions regarding the alleged state of "Alaska." Palin has claimed to be "governor" of the legendary northern land mass, which, while heretofore undiscovered by explorers, was once rumored to contain vast expanses rich with oil, gold, and "eski-mos."

Palin first made the "Alaska" claim during an Aug. 29 public appearance alongside elderly, mean-looking cancer victim John McCain. McCain, a white man with even whiter hair, has long publicly blocked efforts by Barack Obama, a youthful black man with a certain indefinable aura about him, to move into Obama's new house. Palin, also white-skinned, has been linked to the McCain offensive.

After four days of telling silence from the McCain camp, Palin finally deigned to reappear in public yesterday. In a followup press conference, Palin, who is a girl, lashed out at the media.

"Listen to me: Alaska. Is. A. State. Seriously. The 49th state, in fact. Way up north there. What, did somebody go around your newsrooms and hide all the maps underneath the ethics manuals? Or are you idiots just completely insane?"

Shaking her head in a transparent attempt to feign exasperation, Palin -- who is perhaps not as pretty as she thinks she is -- then left the podium without answering followup questions regarding her plagiarism of CBS's Northern Exposure.

Internet reaction to the unfit mother's unhinged rant was swift. Andrew Sullivan, right-wing blogger for The Atlantic, saw Palin's comments as a major misstep. "She's working the refs. This is what they do. Sure, blame the media. Is it their fault she's too chicken to back up these suspicious claims?

"Look, I'm willing to entertain the idea that there really is a place called 'Alaska.' We've all heard the old wives' tales, and I've dreamed about such a rugged, outdoorsy paradise since I was about 13 or 14. But why is she so afraid to give us some proof? I mean, I've never been there, have you?"

Yukon Cornelius could not be reached for comment.

Update: After consultation with the Association of American Geographers and several DC-area kindergarten students, the Washington Post can now report that many current world maps contain a small area in the northwest corner of North America labeled "Alaska." Palin's relationship with the mapmaking industry is currently under investigation.
