is obama a secret zoroastrian?

vodka-- good for your heart?

gays-- how much are they molesting our kids? 

phrasing your lies and assertions as a question-- a valid journalistic technique?

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

 i'm by no means defending any other major news network, they are all scum, i just happen to dislike fox's flavor of scummyness more than the others.

i made my wife mad because i wouldn't stop yelling at rachael maddow the other day (it was a hard day and i was going crazy from work stuff). she just wouldn't shut the fuck up about newt calling sotomayor a racist, and had the nerve to shit all over newt's apology/explanation ("'racist' shouldn't've been applied to her as a person") when that's actually a pretty valid connotation.  i mean newt's a horrible human being, but trying to manufacture outrage like that is just sickening

These were the days of television journalism.

ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE Tue Jun 16 2009 08:45:10 ET

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Highlights on the agenda:

ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.

The network plans a primetime special -- 'Prescription for America' -- originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate. ...

Prepare yourself for the outrage to come by imagining how it would have been had Bush done something similar with the one network -- cable network, that is --  thought to be in his camp.

Well, at least no one will be able to try to defend ABC as one of the "unbiased" (read: not FOX) stations anymore.

None of it is fair, balanced, and very rarely good journalism.

Dennis Potter (sorry i do keep going on about him) summed up the danger that is 'Murdoch' far, far better than any other member of the human race has and this was all well before folk even really appreciated the inherent dangers...this was during his last interview with Melvyn Bragg, only weeks from his death.

The fact that Potter named his own pancreatic cancer after the aforementioned Mr Murdoch...probably tells you all you need to know, but I do think that watching this poignant interview is essential and that it can only enrich your life...by doing so.
