2. F*CK cable news. after awhile...I realized that time was
non value added. I can get all I need to know about late breaking stuff from here, CBS nightly news, some Nightline, print media (hang out at BOrders and read In These Times, The Progressive, Mother Jones, The Nation, Time, The New Yorker, The Economist, Atlantic Montly, Harpers, etc)

Otherwise, great links to websites all over in various blogs. CNN.com, npr, bbc, PBS.


LOTS of better ways to fill your news gathering time than with these annoying cretins on MSNBC, CNN, and FOXNEWS

3. He had Dean on earlier.
:shrug:

I turned it off after Dean, but shit the media is "supposed" to give both sides a voice, problem is we generally only get ONE side.

4. I've noticed a lot of far right and half right guests on his show lately.
It is like having Ann Coulter and Pat Buchannan on the show to debate an issue and calling it balanced.

If this is supposed to be balance, it is going to topple over soon.

To be fair, he does usually have people from opposing sides. Lately, he seems to be showing his right side.

8. There are never two sides to hard facts. This is the trap we fall in...
...since WHEN is it the job of journalists to be "balanced?"- They are merely supposed to report the facts-the READER then makes up his own mind.

The problem is the media is more worried about "balance" than presenting facts that just happen to favor one side or the other.

There is nothing "fair" about facts, they are just facts. I'd love to see more of them in the "Liberal media"...

5. unfortunately, the Henry guy was right
about a lot of what he said:

negative ads WORK

Kerry was WRONG to play it the way he did

CLINTON said as much on Daily Show last week, by emphasizing the in his first campaign they responded to EVERY SINGLE attack they thought was untrue

he also gave the back of his hand twice to that awful beeyotch Orrin, as she tried to infues pugspin into all of her idiotic bleatings

Craig Crawford said the same thing on Olberman

both he and and Henry are as objective as you can expect, and I HATE Crawford, that smug, amoral prick

6. How does...
...Crawford get face time, anyway? He sounds like Gomer Pyle and when he smiles his teeth look like pilings at a tugboat dock. He guffaws and hoo-hoos and rarely has anything meaningful to add.

7. hahahahahahahaahahahahah
I just noticed those toofies tonight!

boy he must have a scarred up tongue

you'd think, with all the cake he bakes, he could afford some straightening

he ads his jaded reaction to the process

it's just a game to parasites like him

I was very disappointed in Olberman's spreading that lie about Clinton's haircut yesterday, and accepting the MO of that poll today, explicitly, BTW. he spoke on its methodology on camera, which was kind of weird

wonder if he knew it was bogus? why would he use it, then?
