The 1st Thread For 12/17/12: Not On The Same Page

Image
But hey, at least this is one sign where you don't have to follow the boss' thoughts as a news organization. Then again, Fox News isn't a news organization. (More at The Whole Delivery to come, stay tuned.) 

The 1st Thread For 9/23/10: The Early Deliveries

Image
CNN's honorable trainwreck of an analyst Erick Erickson rips his party's new pledge , although it basically has the ideas he supports . Sees like this morning the "greatest dysfunctional morning show ever" really started to show signs of Stewart and Colbert getting to them: And: A lack of manufacturing is a threat to national security here in America . And in your lighter delivery today, it appears Sesame Street has done a parody of......."True Blood."

His Own Waterloo?

Ah Oooh, Mr. All Things News Corp. could be in some serious do-do : The News of the World paid a private detective to provide hundreds of pieces of confidential information, often using illegal means, a confidential document obtained by The Independent on Sunday has revealed. The "Blue Book", a ledger of work carried out by Steve Whittamore for News International titles, including the NoW and The Sunday Times, details a series of transactions including obtaining ex-directory phone numbers, telephone accounts, criminal records checks and withheld mobile numbers. It reveals the itemised details of checks on public figures, including Peter Mandelson, ordered and paid for – at up to £750 a time – by reporters working for the redtop. Staff from a number of other national newspapers made similar requests, and their details are contained in further dossiers held by the Information Commissioner, the privacy watchdog. Among the journalists requesting information from Mr Whittamor...

The Straight Jacket Award For The 8/19/10: Irony Is Sweeter Than It's Ever Been!

Image
In the old days, when you nationally embarrass yourself on TV by spelling a word wrong, you would never even contemplate calling any other person "stupid." And when you do it twice.....TWICE.... ...well, yeah. But nowadays, the human mind of being abashed at yourself yet somehow having the gall to label someone "stupid" doesn't exist anymore : No question it's a winner of the..... .....Straight Jacket Award for today.

Corporate Bullying Sure Is Wonderful

Image
Some of you maybe familiar with the story of Newton, Massachusetts news reporter Barry Nolan. If not, here is the runthrough on this individual. Two years ago, while working for CN (Comcast) 8 in Boston, Nolan was upset over the New England chapter of the National Academy for Television in Arts and Sciences giving their Governors' Award to Bill O'Reilly at their local Emmys. So justifiably upset was Nolan, that in the buildup to the event, he both privately and publicly voiced his opposition towards the O'Liely one garnering that award. And he pulled no punches back when he labeled him "a mental case." And on the night of the formal tuxedo event, Nolan decided to dress down for the occasion, citing himself that his slacks and a blazer were accordingly enough for him. In addition, the Comcast anchor (at the time) continued in his temerity by passing out flyers of the Fixed Propaganda blowhard's worst comments ever, including the infamous "I just wis...

The Straight Jacket Award For 8/3/10: Her Honesty Is Comedy

Every Republican strategist probably wants to scream at her at every second of their days : "We needed to have the press be our friend." "We want them to ask the questions we want to answer." Harry Reid is currently the luckiest man in America. For it helps what seemed to be a non-win election shaping out to be another November celebration, thanks to a resident All Star of.....

Everyone Is Friends Of The Nutcase Channel

Image
Sigh : The White House Correspondents Association is moving Fox News up to the front row in the briefing room, according to sources familiar with the process. The WHCA board's decision was unanimous. Since veteran journalist Helen Thomas retired, three news organizations—Fox News, Bloomberg News, and NPR—have argued that they should move to the front row. Fox News will join the broadcast networks and CNN up front. However, Fox News will not be taking Thomas's long-held seat in the center. Helen Thomas' front row position (not her seat in the middle but her position) is now owned by the Murdoch Clown Channel. And the fact that it was a full unanimous position shows how much of a sad joke our journalism is nowadays. Jokenalism 2010 at its continued finest.

Don't Fall Into The "Calling Them Racist" Trap

This will explain my full point in this thread: The legend that is KingEyeOn continued the momentum of the " Fox is racist " viewpoint that Howard Dean replaced into the talking heads conscious on Sunday with yet another classic thread from him earlier today. The evidence is clear as delight that at the very least, the Murdoch Clown Network are total cowards and piously ignorant to being able to have any smart opinion on race issues in America and anywhere else. Most of them will probably never understand the full events and emotional ramifications of minority history in this country, or at least those not apart of Goldline Dreck's peculiar lineup of black Republicans and their bimonthly appearances on that show . There are only two black correspondents that even appear on the Conservative Insane Network (Lord knows why Columbia Professor Marc Lamont Hill still goes on that network as much as he does), one black reporter named Wendell Gibson, and no black...

The Straight Jacket Award For 7/22/10: The Delusional Mind's Ability To Give Fake Apologizes

Image
Between this.... ...... And this: You further realize how utter rattled they are with how the Spooner family basically ended ANY discussion with their serious defamation of labeling Ms. Sherrod a racist. But they aren't rattled enough to deliver full apologizes from the heart. Currently, Freightfart is nowhere to be found on TV, and nowhere to be found on Twitter as of this post despite his usually avid activity on that social protocol. Meanwhile, just seconds after his apology, O'Liely went back to showing no real contrition, creating the usual right wing nutty false equivalency, blaming Media Matters for "taking his words out of context" like with Sherrod (even though Media Matters has never done that at all.) He proceeded to then have prostitute lover Dick Morris join him in continuing to slam her character: What a bunch of standout straight jacket candidates, huh? I sure hope she does file a lawsuit on Freightfart: I sure hope she does. Beca...

They Messed With The Wrong One

Image
She isn't going anywhere, and she is calling out the real idiots here : Shirley Sherrod, the former Agriculture Department Georgia Director of Rural Development, says she is a victim. A victim of poor reporting and, as she contends, clear bias and racist coverage from both Andrew Breitbart and Fox News. "When you look at their reporting, this is just another way of seeing that they are (racist)," Sherrod told me about Fox in a lengthy interview Tuesday night. "But I have seen that before now. I saw their reporting as biased during the Bush Administration and the Clinton Administration." The Murdoch Comedy Network doesn't know what to do, playing keep away and just looking at the White House at this. It will be interesting how further low O'Liely will go after he has done nothing but slam Sherrod repeatedly from the moment he laid eyes on the story: Oh, and in one of the lies of 2010 (and of all time), look at Mr. Straight Jacket himself, offerin...

The Real Feel For 7/21/10: The Only Bright Spot In A Dark Hole

Image
Sometimes in an ugly situation can arise a beautiful glimmer of inspiration. While the media continue to wrangle in the discussion of what the Obama White House knew about Tom Vilsack's utterly panicked decision to force Shirley Sherrod out of the Agriculture Department ( while not fully castigate and abase the utter trash that is Andrew Freightfart, Bill O'Liely , and all of those who helped smear this woman), we saw a perfect example of human element at its best, as well as a true embodiment of what unselfish American spirit should be. Sherrod had her father killed by reportedly a KKK member (the attorney of that case confirmed that), who she instead just labeled only as a "white farmer" on CNN yesterday. That obvious pain and mourning over a salvage bastard killing her father in already high charged and pestilent times for Black America in this nation (and particularly in the South) could have lead Sherrod to have a perpetual feeling of abomination and wi...

The 2nd Thread For 7/20/10: The Latest Victim Of How The Rabid Right Wing Machine

For most of July 19th, not many people knew who Shirley Sherrod is. On July 20th, that is certainly no longer the case. Last night, the story broke out, thanks to the Breitbartocalypse nutcases, showing video of Sherrod of the now former member of the Agriculture Department appearing to not show full conviction towards a white male farmer as she would someone else to facilitate him out in his situation. As typical, Murdoch's Comedy Clown Network got the video immediately, and the right wing nutcase machine did what they do best. Yell, Yell, Yell until someone hears. Fortunately for them, the White House shakes in their boots at anytime they yell apparently. Within instance of the story even becoming lukewarm, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack accepted Sherrod's resignation. Now the much scrutinized women tells CNN that her controversial comments were fully taken out of context : "I was speaking to that group, like I've done many groups, and I tell them abo...

This just cemented it for anyone who didn't want to give her that mantle.

Apologizing To His Masters

Image
And basically leading to a great political day for all Democrats : That is what you do for your masters . The White House and Democrats have gone right away at seizing on Barton's unbelievable stupidity . "What is shameful is that Joe Barton seems to have more concern for big corporations that caused this disaster than the fishermen, small business owners and communities whose lives have been devastated by the destruction. Congressman Barton may think that a fund to compensate these Americans is a 'tragedy', but most Americans know that the real tragedy is what the men and women of the Gulf Coast are going through right now. Members from both parties should repudiate his comments." And how did the TV people cover it?? Update 4 -- CNN and MSNBC both replayed Barton's apology to BP at the top of the hour. Fox completely ignored it. Go figure. CNN also played Markey's response. I guess Barton's other masters at Fox didn't want to see their ...

It Was Only A Matter Of Time

I was thinking when would he start going after Obama's daughters, and now that great classy day has come : You would probably forget from his insanity like no other here that he has a daughter himself. How at the behest of that child, I feel the need to say that I feel sorry for her that her daddy is the definition of a psychopath in the dictionary. I wonder how he will go after the dog Bo in the future? He'll probably bark all over his show like he barked earlier in the year. All for decline ratings I say!

Yesterday's Leftovers For 5/5/10: Why Is Michael Brown Even On TV?

Now normally, I want to be a little complex and snarky with the titles, but this is just a question that needed no sign of facetiousness. How is this prominent notorious figure of how disastrous and dangerous the previous Administration was to this country somehow able to resurface on TV out of nowhere like he's just a regular conservative nutcase expert. I mean, I thought there was universal consensus on who failed and who should never show their faces on TV with regards to Katrina? I thought at least on that very topic that all of us, from our incompetent media to even the nuts on the right, would agree that the "Heckuva Job" one was forever given an unofficially anodyne to showing his face on television again. Of course the protagonist in this sudden reimage of a disgraceful figure is the Murdoch Comedy Network , never ever a shame to give a first platform to the nutcases they worship. No surprise there at all. But why would the Tweety one, even in all of his ...
