The worst editorialist in the world is finally gone

January 21st, 2011 | No Comments

No sooner than I point out that in order for broadcast journalism to return to the days of the Cronkites and Reasoners, the companies supporting the industry would have to set their standards higher, MSNBC does just that. Good-bye Keith Olbermann!

Mark Levin takes on the haters

January 14th, 2011 | 2 Comments

People are talking a lot right now that the vitriol needs to be leveled down a lot.  Problem is there are too many people that thrive on it.  To me journalism hit the current low when Keith Olbermann went on MSNBC.  I think he’s the worst editorialist in the world.  The reason, well, just look: [...]

Defund NPR

January 4th, 2011 | 2 Comments

Recently was sent this link: That’s my image, here’s Townhall’s link.  Since I was a young boy, I hated NPR.  They’ve had a lifelong history of dumbing down content.  If they were reporting a war, you heard incessant gun fire in the background.  The noises alone drove me away.  It just struck me that they [...]

Linda Sanchez sees white supremists

June 3rd, 2010 | 3 Comments

Accusing the Arizona immigration law of leading to the slippery slope of racial profiling has apparently worn thin.  Linda Sanchez decided to up it a notch: “There’s a concerted effort behind promoting these kinds of laws on a state-by-state basis by people who have ties to white supremacy groups”,”It’s been documented. It’s not mainstream politics.” [...]

Large numbers and spelling

January 29th, 2010 | No Comments

So I’m reading and deciphering the news that the economy grew at 5.7% last quarter and what that actually means in regards to how much money Obama spent to get that result.  But, I read this: In the forth quarter, consumer spending contributed 1.44 percentage points to GDP. Call me picky, but when reading an [...]

Chris Matthews hates the religious right

October 23rd, 2009 | No Comments

MATTHEWS: That’s not fair. The group in this country that most resembles the Taliban, ironically, is the religious right. Chris Matthews blurts that out as the screen is fading.  His guest was not given any chance to respond other than to blurt out “rubbish”. I think he’s nuts. What do you think? Chris Matthews thinks [...]

How the health care supporters are finally getting organized

August 10th, 2009 | 1 Comment

They’re calling in the SEIU of course. The advantages of this of course are obvious: They’re already organized and staffed. You don’t have to worry about paying them since they’re on salary. If you’re a Democrat, you don’t have to question their loyalty. You don’t have to worry about explaining what the issue is. You [...]

MSNBC gets bored of Hillary’s speech

July 22nd, 2009 | No Comments

Hillary Clinton gave a 35:44 speech you can watch in its entirity at MSNBC: Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy Only thing about this speech is it was actually over an hour long. MSNBC cut off the last 34 minutes. That’s kind of understandable, it’s a very windy speech [...]

Facebook and the death penalty

June 3rd, 2009 | No Comments

Sometimes I feel like most of my views are totally contrarian.  That beliefs in traditional values and harsh consequences for harsh actions is something most people can’t deal with.  Then I see something like this on Facebook: Results: Is the death penalty wrong? Yes 7,880 No 16,568 Now, Facebook’s as hip as it gets.  This [...]
