We have always known that Media Matters is a partisan-hack “media watchdog” site, but we didn’t know they were this bad at it. Lorie Byrd at Wizbang demolishes the Media Matters “smear” charges against Fox News simply by comparing their edited versions of the clips to the original, and noting that what Media Matters left out is exactly what they claim Fox left out of its reporting. It’s part of their ongoing campaign to label as a smear the airing of a video in which someone claims to have committed a murder, and it’s getting more threadbare by the moment.
Smears. They're what's for dinner! We'll be here for a little while. I think Bare is planning a little surprise for you all, but we'll see...he was up for 23 hours working, so it could be a while before we see him.
Whew, back open.....
ReplyDeleteHi everyone!
A little shameless blog pimping...
But only because I couldn't post the whole thing over here.
Mr. President; Why the Change?
A Historical Perspective.
Media matters has never been anything but a partisan-hack site. Seriously, you could spend hours a day debunking their latest bullshit.
ReplyDeleteJCM, can we add your blog to the roll?
ReplyDeleteYes indeed, Wendy.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything else of note going on this morning, the news cycle notwithstanding?
I've been in a cave for almost a whole day, drawing electric pictures. : )
By the way: I think we MIGHT be getting one or two screen shots of the new CorrComm to view...but Bare was up until 4:00AM, and he had been up since 5:00AM Friday morning. So I won't nag him about it. LOL
ReplyDeleteACORN scaling back or shutting down in many cities
ReplyDeleteStung by the recession and a string of scandals, the ACORN community activist organization has been shutting down in many of the communities it once worked to empower.
No new clients are being signed up, said national spokesman Brian Kettenring, while the group conducts an internal investigation into how its business is conducted.
/they're melting!
JCM, that is an excellent piece on your blog. Would you like to make a thread of it here?
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon, eatitorwearit.
ReplyDeleteThey can't melt soon enough for my taste.
And somehow, the president remains insulated from his long and deep relationship with this organization.
CC,
ReplyDeleteGo right ahead, I would be honored.
More walls close in on ACORN -- a new $548,000 tax lien
ReplyDeleteThe Pelican Institute's Steve Beatty reports that the federal government just filed a new $548,000 lien against ACORN for unpaid payroll taxes. This comes at the same time as Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell investigates the group for unpaid state payroll taxes.
According to Beatty, his adds to the existing tax debt of more than $1 million.
When it rains it pours.
/keep hitting them where it hurts!
Ann Althouse has a piece up on this ratcheting up of the rhetoric.
ReplyDeleteAnd the left thinks we're crazy.
New thread WAY upstairs.
ReplyDeleteArgh, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day again, mateys
ReplyDeleteIt's rolled around once again, like a stray cannonball on the deck of a sailing ship. Sept. 19 is the annual Talk Like a Pirate Day, for no particular reason whatsoever.
Thank John "OI' Chumbucket" Bauer and Mark "Cap'n Slappy" Summers, the two ne'er-do-wells with pirattitude for starting the tradition, and writer Dave Barry for popularizing it seven years ago. Bauer and Summers have two books available from publishers and three others they've self-published, including the children's book "A Li'l Pirate's A-B-Seas."
/arrr!
