Why does this story sound familiar? Oh yeah. I remember now. slaps forehead*
Remember when Glenn Beck was on Fox “news” and all his advertisers bailed on him except his Goldline sponsors, and how Goldline was charged with 19 criminal counts of fraud and theft? yeah……

Hey Sean Hannity! I have a better idea! Why don’t you talk about how your own blather-fest show is in peril?

There is another side to this story that Fox “news” won’t let their viewers know about:

And then there was THIS talk show KOOK who had her own opinion about it:

As often as I criticize Fox “news” for their intentional misinformation, such as identifying republicans caught in sex scandals as democrats, publishing charts of unemployment rates of past presidents while leaving out Ronald Reagan’s (which was higher than Obama’s), substituting photos while claiming they are from something they are not, manufacturing controversies where none exist, using the split screen to associate demonstrations and falling stock markets with democrats, editing video, or not even to bother showing video (such as Obama’s address to Congress about health care), it should be noted that CNN has taken a lot of much deserved heat this past week as well.
A few month’s ago, Rupert Murdoch gave a compliment to CNN president Jeff Zucker by saying that CNN has ‘sharpened up in the last couple of months’. Given the fact that CNN recently ran a chyron that read: ‘War On Religion’, Wolf Blitzer’s obsessive use of words “Ground Zero Mosque” and “Fiscal Cliff” , then got rid of Soledad O’Brien and then added on a new evening show with Erin Burnett, who seems to have an unhealthy fascination with Ted Nugent by having him on her show not once, but twice, one could see how Murdoch would approve of such things, as they are taken right out of Roger Ailes’ playbook of shoddy journalism.
There was a study done recently published by Psychology Today that shows that conservatives relied more on a part of the brain that is thought to be associated with the body’s fear-based fight-or-flight system, while liberals use the part of the brain that is associated with self-awareness. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/caveman-politics/201302/why-politics-makes-your-head-hurt
This would explain conservatives preference to watching Fox (besides the obvious reason of being told what they WANT to hear), but it may also explain how CNN is going to go about ways of increasing their audience share: by scaring people….
Cable news in this country is disgraceful. The 24 hour news cycle needs to be filled with something other than endless ads for Viagra and Vagisil. And most of it is shit…..

An open letter to Roger Ailes….
Dear Roger,
Thank you for gathering all together in one place the stupidest of the stupid, leaving the rest of the internet a reasonably safe and sane place for the rest of us….. except maybe for a few of my right-wing nutty nieces and nephews and brother-in-laws, who don’t watch news anyhow because there noses are usually buried in their iphones as they post pictures of themselves drunk and puking up all over somebody lawn somewhere on facebook….
Sincerely,
David

Tony Perkins has also recently warned that President Barack Obama could be planning to create a special “watch list” for Catholics and evangelical Christians to prevent them from buying guns. Why does Fox “news” even bother having guest like Perkins on their show?
Oh yeah. Glenn Beck is no longer there to peddle conspiracy theories….

These must be the same dogs that Rush Limbaugh said would be covered under “Obamacare”. But they’re dead. So I guess that “Obamacare” didn’t work.

I only knew Kim from the OT, and back then we had a link where OT members could post pictures of themselves or other things. The first thought that came to mind when I saw a picture of Kim was “Wow. Her smile reminds me so much of Carly Simon”
Now, anyone who knows me well (close friends and family members) are very familiar with the huge crush I had (and maybe still do) on Carly Simon. Because of this, I was drawn to Kim and her sense of humor. She seemed familiar to me.
Though we never met in person, she and Tom sent me Christmas cards which I will cherish forever. I will miss her muchly…
The black and white photo of Kim posted above is going to be used in one of my paintings. It is a classic. It is timeless.
