A conservative looks at Media. Expect coverage of bias concerning bias of coverage.

Government-Managed Media Nothing New

What bothers me is not that “clean-room” procedures will actually be followed, since they are claimed. What bothers me is the justification for “early access” to begin with:

“For years, journalists participating in the lockups have shown up at DOL at the appointed time, then entered a limited-access area to receive the new data and prepare news stories for release as soon as official embargoes end.

The system insures that major news organizations get the data as soon as possible and allows journalists covering the release get a jump on providing analyses and opinion about the data.”

—Washington Examiner, 13 April 2012

Why do they need “a jump” on anything? This is as hostile to the general public as the infamous Japanese Press Club. Let them find … Continue reading →

Nat'l Org'n for Women Silent on Bachmann 'Bitch' Ambush

Talk to the hand:

[Update: This post was one of several in response to Jimmy Fallon’s band playing “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” when Michele Bachmann walked onstage, and incomprehensibly, all that happened was a band member was “severely reprimanded”. I (still) find that unacceptable, while it seems not to bother the NOW.]

National Organization for Women: What EVurr…

The National Organization “for Women” remains in an abusive relationship with the Marxist Democrats, since way back in the Clinton days, when they could not be bothered to support a single woman who claimed (or later proved) that they had been used or abused as sex toys by the Philanderer-in-Chief.

If that silence made you … Continue reading →

Fire Jimmy Fallon (and his bitch wife, too)

[Update: This post was one of several in response to Jimmy Fallon’s band playing “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” when Michele Bachmann walked onstage, and incomprehensibly, all that happened was a band member was “severely reprimanded”. I (still) find that unacceptable, and I fired back. Naturally, I am sure that Mrs. Fallon is a nice lady–which is THE POINT.]

How do you like it Jimmy?  I aim to see you fired.  Yeah, seriously, no offense, etc, whatever, but you and your bitch wife gotta go.  I know you’ll understand.

Your apology is neither required nor desired.

Lawrence O'Donnell, Herman Cain, and the White Hippie Apocalypse

[pullquote]blackness is not a scale on which I measure a Presidential candidate[/pullquote]Everybody who cares has seen or heard clips of MSNBC anchor and self-described socialist Lawrence O’Donnell engaging GOP hopeful Herman Cain in a series of racially-motivated attack questions, the point of which seems to be that Herman Cain is not authentically black, didn’t march at Selma, what-have-you.  I’m not going to lecture either of these men on how to be black, as that is of no concern to me; blackness is not a scale on which I measure a Presidential candidate, but integrity is.

Dump Truck in Space to Impact God Knows Where

Some comments on this:

The debris is expected to fall over a swath of Earth about 500 miles (804 kilometers) long, NASA officials said. [Video: Where Could UARS Satellite Debris Fall?]

There is a 1-in-3,200 chance of satellite debris hitting a person on the ground, odds that NASA says are extremely remote. Outside experts agree.

“Look at how much of Earth is covered with water,” Victoria Samson, the Washington Office Director of the Secure World Foundation, an organization dedicated to the peaceful use of outer space, told SPACE.com this week. “There’s a really good chance it’s going to go straight into the ocean.”

Trinity: Obama, Jesus, NPR (in no particular order)

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

NPR, which loves Barack Obama only slightly, only slightly less than itself, offers a droll comparison of his price for love with that of Jesus:

AUDIENCE MEMBER: I love you, Barack!

THE PRESIDENT: I love you back. (Applause.) But first — but if you love me — if you love me, you got to help me pass this bill. (Applause.) If you love me, you got to help me pass this bill.

via Obama: ‘If You Love Me, You Got To Help Me Pass This Bill’ : It’s All Politics : NPR.

Is contrasted with very little comment (I suppose the parallel should be obvious to those who know Him) to this passage:

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter,”Simon son of John, do … Continue reading →

Hey House: Ditch Obama's Jobs Speech

[UPDATE: Mother Jones writer says no need to watch… see below]
House Republicans are deserting the Obama jobs speech scheduled for Thursday evening.  They simply won’t attend.   Speaker John Boehner, who stuffed the President on his blatant attempt to summon Congress to sit before him, has now decided that the flimsy $300 billion half-hearted jobs speech is not worth rebutting.  An increasing number of NBC affiliates won’t even show the speech itself, opting instead to stick with their regularly scheduled Saints-Packers pre-game show.  It’s a sham, and they know it.  Obama knows it, and he thinks that we are too dumb.  He wants to use the Congress as a political prop, and some in Congress aren’t having any of it.

Soulja Boy Attempts Apology–Accepted, With Comment

Perhaps you’ve heard of the furore surrounding comments by a rapper about the military.  I hadn’t, and I don’t care what most useless art-ticks think.  I was somewhat impressed, however, with the attempted apology from this guy “Soulja Boy”, in that it sounded mostly sincere.  Oh, he gets in his Bush-bashing and his mistaken notions about poverty or unemployment being caused by defense spending (I thought federal spending created — oh nevermind).  But for all his misjudgements and subsequent bad advice in rough rhyme, he does seem to genuinely regret at least part of this unhappy episode, and not just the catching some serious death stares from the military part.

At one point he rapped “f*** the troops” in a song or something (how the Hell would I … Continue reading →
