Unfriendly fire: The angry media
by that idiot Howard Kurtz
The nastiness index keeps on
rising, and all of us are getting sullied in the process.
Media outlets, which once merely chronicled this era of
hyper-partisanship, now seem
to be both the purveyors and often the targets of ugly attacks.
In just the past few weeks, Salon's Joan Walsh and Howard Dean have
accused Fox News of racism;
That
accusation is true.
Howie, you liar, you have
appointed yourself "media referee" then you side with the GOP.
Fuck you.
Conservative crusader Andrew
Breitbart has delighted in pushing a maliciously edited video smearing
Shirley Sherrod and refused to apologize; Fox hosts have denounced
mainstream organizations as Obama
lap dogs for downplaying a case involving the New Black Panther Party;
e-mails from an off-the-record
discussion group showed one liberal pundit wishing for Rush Limbaugh's
death and another suggesting that
conservatives such as Fred Barnes be tarred as racist; Rolling Stone's
Michael Hastings was accused of
betraying journalistic ethics with the story that torpedoed Gen.
Stanley McChrystal, and Hastings's critics
were ripped as lackeys of the military establishment.
It's journalism as blood sport, performed for the masses.
Hey asshole, why not take a
principled stand and call out the bad guys?
FOX News IS a racist organization and everybody knows it.
Hell, FOX is PROUD to be the whites-only, Teabagger News Network.
They SPONSOR Teabagger rallies, for Christ's sake.
They also sponsored Bush's war of choice in Iraq.
If you had a shred of ethics... (why should I bother to
finish that?)
And yes, Breitbart went WAAAAY beyond fair when he smeared
Sherrod - odd you'd call him on that,
then you go and smear all liberals by claiming "one liberal poundit"
wrote something.
Fuck you.
Briertbart is a big star in the GOP.
"One liberal poundit" means nothing.
Fuck you for being such a liar, Howie.
Fred Barnes IS a racist - and he's dumber than a f-ing
Chimp, too.
Howie, why don't you quit and join FOX like Bill Hemmer
did.
You appoint yourself as the judge and then you sell out.
We call that being a whore.
The Democrats aren't going to do it, and since the media won't, they're bolder next time.
Fuck you, Howie.
