The Media And Their Screwed Up Priorities

Saw this on Facebook.

Lindsey Lohan who? I cant believe the coverage given to a spoiled 20-something yr old. Here are a few 20 year-olds worth knowing about:

Justin Allen 23
Brett Linley 29
Matt Weikert 29
Justus Bartett 27
Dave Santos 21
Chase Stanley 21
Jesse Reed 26
Matthew King 23
Christopher Goeke 23
Sheldon Tate 27

These 20-somethings gave their lives for you this week.

Joseph Goebbels Would Be Proud

What? You mean someone would take a tape and edit it to make Tea Party protesters look like racists? Bull. It's some sort of Fox News/George W. Bush lie.

Then there's this video of a woman giving a speech at NAACP dinner in which she admits that she didn't really too far out of her way to help a White farmer but instead directs him to a White lawyer because she recons he would better off getting help from "one of his own kind". More Fox News/George W. Bush lies I'm sure. Don't look for the established media to pick up on these stories.

And I just learned off of Twitter that the woman in the NAACP video has resigned, so now it can be swept under the rug and never brought up again. Unless your racist that is.

Black Power

We don't owe [the whites] nothing in South Africa...we give him 24 hours to get out of town, by sundown. That's all. If he won't get out of town by sundown, we kill everything white that ain't right in South Africa. We kill the women, we kill the children, we kill the babies. We kill the blind, we kill the crippled, we kill 'em all. We kill the faggot, we kill the lesbian—goddammit, we kill them all.

Khalid Abdul Muhammad, former chairman of the New Black Panthers. So wanting to kill White people is nothing new for them.

Glenn Beck brought up a good point on his show today. Why are some in the media more concerned with Mel Gibson than these people who are getting away with voter intimidation and calling for people to be killed?

What If...

I wonder what would happen if a video were to surface showing a Tea Party protester standing outside a polling place holding a weapon talking about living under the rule of the White man. I wonder what kind of firestorm would ensue if a video of a Tea Party protester were to surface showing him yelling that he hated Niggers and that the only way to get freedom would be to kill Niggers and their babies. Well, actually I don't really wonder too much. We all saw what happened when Tea Party protesters were accused of using racial and homophobic terms and spitting on Black members of Congress. I don't watch much news anymore, I'll check out FNC in the mornings, so I don't really know how much outrage there is on the other networks but from past experience I would say not enough. But I could be, and hope I am, wrong. But if the roles were reversed, and it was a White person who just happened to be a Tea Party protester...

It's Not A Real Protest Until A Window Get's Broken

The G20 summit will be getting underway in Toronto and protesters are ready. We all know what kind of protests happen at events like this, what we need to watch is how our illustrious media handles them. Will they condemn them? Will they ignore them? Will they be indifferent? I know how I think they'll report on the violence and vandalism.

Helen Thomas & The Joos

I guess I should throw my two cents into the debate. Now, I don't care that she talked about occupation. Blah, blah, blah, song and dance. Whatever. What I did have a problem with was her next comment about Jews going back to Poland and Germany. Yeah, because they had so much luck there the last time. That comment just smacks of "Jews go home". Is she an anti-Semite? I don't know. But according to Bob Beckel, while he doesn't agree with her comment, apparently being of Lebanese decent explains it somehow. I don't think he was trying to justify it, but I'm not sure where he was going with that.

And those calling for her to be fired need to just slow down a bit. In case you forgot, and how could you because you've been active with the Tea Party movement, we have this thing called the First Amendment that gives us the right to say stupid things. Now, if her employer deems her a liability then they have every right to let her go. But to demand that she be fired? No.

Israel Stands Alone

Wait, you mean people and news organizations jump to conclusions and condemn Israel before they have all the facts? Bull. You know, they scream for Israel's head within a heartbeat of whatever it was that actually happened, and yet, when a Palestinian walks into a crowded shopping center or a bus full of innocent Men, Women and Children with a bomb strapped to their chest that same outrage and anger is nowhere to be found. Where are the protests in front of the Palestinian embassy in England? Is there an embassy? I actually don't know. Where are the demonstrations and riots in Greece and France? Where is the U.N calling for inquiries?

Media Double Standard

I know, it's a foreign concept but it does exist. We've seen right-wing extremist groups being covered quite a bit lately. And rightly so. These nuts need to be brought to light and stopped. But it got me to wondering, does our illustrious media outlets cover left-wing extremist groups the same way the cover those on the right? How many people have never heard of the terror groups ALF or ELF? I'm guessing most people will think you talking about a fuzzy alien from the 80's or The Lord Of The Rings rather than groups that commit acts of violence and vandalism. When the media do cover such groups, how many times do they label them "patriot groups"? How many times do they try to associate groups like PeTA or the standard Green movement with them the way they're trying to lump the TEA party protesters in with these right-wing groups? Seems out media has been taking some lessons from Saul Alinsky. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

Word Up, Homeboy

"I forgot he was Black tonight for an hour" - Chris Matthews

I can see that. I mean, he didn't speak with his negro dialect. Yo.

Fox News Pwns The World

Fox is the most trusted television news network in the country, according to a new poll out Tuesday.

A Public Policy Polling nationwide survey of 1,151 registered voters Jan. 18-19 found that 49 percent of Americans trusted Fox News, 10 percentage points more than any other network.

Hear that sound? That's the sound of a whole lot of Liberals and Progressives banging their heads against the wall.

The Military Is The Enemy

Chris Matthews has become an even bigger ass the Keith Olbermann, if that's possible.

They Own The Media & I Want No Part

I had this post worked out in my head, knew how I wanted to start and what I wanted to say. But when I finally sat down to type it all out it all went away. That happens to me a lot. So I'll just have to start in the middle. We have a government that's actively targeting a media outlet trying damage them however they can. Even going so far as to send their attack dogs, Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, out this weekend to inform other media outlets to ignore FNC and to not treat them like "real" news. I find this all just a little disturbing. And, like the good little lapdogs they are, the rest of the media just eat it up. They cheer lead for the policies of this administration and ignore stories, until they've been forced to finally mention them. ACORN and Van Jones for example. Another example is Anita Dunn. Has anyone seen other news outlets talk about her comments on Mao Tse Tung? And chances are you never will. Media outlets in this country have become nothing more than mouthpieces for the Obama administration, which is why I have made the conscious decision to block CNN, HLN & MSNBC from my television. I can no longer, in good conscience, watch them knowing that they have no problem being manipulated like puppets.

Is He?

Is President Obama a "truther"? Does he support censorship? Is he a Communist? Is he a eugenicist? Is he anti-Capitalist? Is he a racist? Is he a Black Nationalist? If the answer to these questions are "No", why then is he surrounding himself with people who are? And aren't these questions those in the media should be asking?

The Media Failure In The Van Jones Story

Andrew Breitbart has a great piece up for the Washington Times talking about the media's failure when it comes to the current administration.

Funnies

How true


This is ingenious. Why did I never think of this?

Journalistic Integrity Is Dead

The wall between government and the media is fast eroding. First it was NBC, which has become the cheerleader of this administration, and now it's ABC. And entire news outlet actively pushing the agenda of the White House. And that should scare the hell out of everyone.

Welcome To The The Future Of #News

The Twitterverse has been all over the Iranian election. Hell, they even forced CNN to step up their coverage of what's happening over there. We shouldn't have to make the media do it's job.

Is James von Brunn The New De facto Leader Of The Gop?

Andrew Breitbart has a great piece in the Washington Times about that nutjob James von Brunn and how some in the media are trying to link him to the Republican party.

Why Olbermann Is A Douchbag

So, if FNC and Bill O'Reilly have a role to play in the death of Dr. Tiller then doesn't MSNBC and Olbermann have a role to play in the shooting of two soldiers in Arkansas, leading to one of them dying, because of his anti-war rants? Or what about John Murtha and his convicting the Marines or John Kerry saying our servicemen were terrorizing Iraqi women and children. Keith Olbermann is the lowest piece of slime on the face of the planet.
