FOX Is Not A News Organization

October 24, 2009

From Media Matters via Youtube…..

Those month by month clips, just a few of many, clearly demonstrate the bias being spewed by FOX. Before last November's election, FOX's bias for McCain-Palin was apparent. After Obama's victory, FOX's bias against Obama……also apparent.
Those are not the characteristics of a news organization. Those are the characteristics of a Republican [...]

Ain't That Tough Enough?

October 22, 2009

The Fabulous Thunderbirds, one of my favorite contemporary blues groups, made the song my blog title rips off famous back in the 90's. I entitle my post with it today because of the schizophrenic messages coming from conservative and Villager voices over the 10-months-in-office President Obama.
Here's what I mean.
If you click here, and review [...]

The Mighty Newton

October 20, 2009

The comedy show continues….

I realize that Newt Gingrich is considered to be a bonafide, certified, conservative intellectual…..a master GOP sharpie….the Republican go-to guy for "ideas."
So, I'm thinking Newt thinks, because he is just so smart and full of, like, ideas, that Republicans are going to take back the House and the Senate next year. What [...]

I Got Your "Heavy Lift" Right Here

October 16, 2009

Some stuff about the media I've been pondering.
For the last week I've been tormenting myself by listening to AM radio while driving. Don't ask me why.
I admit, it's been awhile since I tuned AM. What I've been hearing, while not shocking, is still depressing.
Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh are all there on [...]

Health Care Reform Debate: Just Starting

October 13, 2009

I've purposely avoided writing very much about the alleged debate allegedly going on over health care reform. As I see it, up til now, we haven't been debating anything. However, now with President Max Baucus' (D-MT) immaculately-conceived version of health reform coming up for a vote today in his Senate Finance Committee, we're getting closer [...]

The Nobel Peace Prize

October 10, 2009

I must say that I really haven't been surprised by the response of conservatives and Village-whore media to President Obama's winning of the Nobel Peace Prize yesterday. From the start of his presidency it has been made clear that the main objective of Obama's instant-opposition has been to see Obama "fail." Winning a prestigious award [...]

Enemies of the State

October 3, 2009

The 2016 Olympics went to Rio, Brazil……conservatives celebrate America's loss.
Consider the glee by America's new enemies…..
Beck: "Oh, it's so sweet" that Chicago's bid failed; "savor this moment."
Breitbart website: "It is kind of like the world community saying to President Obama, 'Not only no, but Hell No.' "
Limbaugh: For those "upset that I sound gleeful [...]

Crystal Balling It

September 30, 2009

No, crystal balling it ain't as arousing or provocative as, say, Teabagging it…but crystal balling it is a bit more coherent and understandable than TeaBagging it…so there's that.
One year ago on October 13th, in a blog post entitled, The Upcoming Obama Presidency, The Reverend typed out these predictions….
".…..after having paid very close attention to what [...]

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: Part Deux

September 29, 2009

Maybe you saw David Fluffy Gregory's interview with Bill Clinton this past weekend on Meet the Press. The Village Fluffy, always trying to keep it real, asked Clinton about that "vast right wing conspiracy"…..

Fluffy…."Your wife, famously, talked about the vast right wing conspiracy targeting you. As you look at this opposition on the right to [...]

A Case Study In Disinformation

September 26, 2009

In a capitalistic society like ours where even "news" is consumed according to brandname, FOX, NBC etc, just like Cheerios or Wheaties……disinformation becoming rampant, I guess, is inevitable.
Today's capitalistic information providers seem to be pulling off the impossible, i.e., convincing Americans that they can have whatever facts they so desire. A kind of designer-news-and-information boutique, [...]
