Video Village 6.16.10

Well, lets start our little video presentation with this morning's Fox and Fiends....errrr....Friends.

Newtie was on with the gang talking about Obama's oil slick speech yesterday when the discussion turned...heavenward?



Disengenuous, eh  Blondie?

Well, considering that this so-called CHRISTIAN country ranks 11th in church-going, maybe we should not admonish our President when he does call on God to save the heathens of the South (but that's another story..)

Now Glenn Beck referred to Obama's kids not too long ago, and the next day apologized.  One wonder's of the newly married El Rushbo will do the same thing after this....



Well after this......



...and this....



...and other things, don't bet on it.

Now, does anyone here listen to the War Room with Quinn and Rose? Ever heard of these guys?  Will here is the Quinn of the pair, first name Jim, airing out the sheets yesterday....




Question Jim: What IS American culture?

Yesterday on AC360, Anderson Cooper spoke with Kevin Costner abouthis whiz-bang machine Kev says would solve the oil problem in the Gulf.  We'd love to post it for you, but we can, because CNN won't let us.  Somehow they'll let Crooks&Liars do it but not us.

Here's the link. though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oFjTWs_FWY. Fuck you, CNN.

Well, here is last night's WPITH from Countdown that airs on MSNBC, who DOES allow you to not only put thier video on your blog, but also gives you a TRANSCRIPT  too!  Yay Microsoft and GE (wait...what am i SAYING??)

Finally, I should post more of these.  James Thurber was an amazing man.  The fact that Keith Olbermann now ends his Friday program with a Thurber missives makes me like both of them even more.

Please leave something in the collection tray if you like this.

Toodles.

You lying, stinking,scheming, nasty, sack of liquid crap! (plink..plink)

You have probably seen this ad in your major market newspaper a few days ago. It was trumpeting that Fox News Channel seemed to be the only news outlet in America to cover the Pissed-Off White People's.....errrrr....Tax Protest rally last Saturday.

Now, forget estimates about who showed up....anywhere from 35K to 2 Million, depending on who you ask and who's side they're on. It was a lot of people, and that usually means cameras. But if you read this ad, you would think that FNC was the only outlet that covered what was essentially a publicity stunt for FNC's Glenn Beck and his 9/12 Project.

But what Fox is finding out is that you do not lie in a promo. Especially when one of the targets has under their hire on Rick Sanchez.

He's cute when he's pissed.

But it was not just CNN.......You said NBC did not missed the story......so what's this??

Here is coverage from CBS News, properly connecting the march to the "9/12 Project":


http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/09/14/opinion/main5310007.shtml?tag=contentMain;contentBody

CBS also " said it had 'multiple crews' at the rally and made it the lead story on the "CBS Evening News." CBS Radio News offered hourly reports and CBSNews.com had the story in its rotating lead throughout the day" (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/09/18/ap/entertainment/main5321951.shtml?tag=contentMain;contentBody)



Oh....and talk about "missing the story?" Here is a ABC/GMA report ANTICIPATING that rally the day before: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=8554528 And here is another ABC/GMA report the day after: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=8560056.



Missed the story? You jackasses CREATED the God-damned story.



And not only created it....you egged it on! Here is a story from Media Matters. Notice the two videos. The one on top shows a producer egging on the sheep. The bottom shows the finished product. http://mediamatters.org/blog/200909180037

And I can go on. From the non-fact checking on that ACORN video that had the worker going BORAT on your asses, to the fact that you announced that the Pope was dead days before he really died, all the way to the Thursday after 9/11 when you boasted that there was a little pocket under that rubble where there were survivors, food, and water. In reality, no food, no water. No survivors.

In being a editorial cheerleader for the right, you have no equal. But as a news organization, you have no business calling yourselves journalists.

Bush Like Hitler?

Keith Ellison is the first Muslim member of Congress, and already he has caused a stir.

Last month, Ellison compared Pres. Bush with Adolph Hitler, saying "Its almost like the Reichstag Fire, kind of reminds me of that....After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader [Hitler] of that country.." He later apologized for the statement.

It was also not a fair comparison. Bush was already the leader when he blamed Al Quida.

But enough quibbling.

Ellison has a chance to exoplain himself today (8/1) on CNN's Situation Room. Here is that interview.



Wimp. You wimped out.
