Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

First USA Ptooey refuses to run Ann Coulter's column as planned and now:

"...left-wing agitprop filmmaker Michael Moore, who thus described the United States before a British audience, will be writing a series of columns from the Republican Nation Convention in New York for the paper's op-ed page."

Coulter, of course, has had her own prima donna moments, as with the bitter end of her relationship with National Review Online: rather than cooperate to fix a problematic column -- one following up on her infamous post-9/11 call to "invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity" -- she instead went on television and denounced her editors. But my newsroom source tells me that Coulter has been "very very nice with us."

Total hogwash. The National Review were not her editors. They simply refused to run her column in NR. Her editors at the time were Human Events.

Yes, she called a couple of the whiners at NR "girlie men" for objecting to her language. That is arguably true and hardly represents a "prima donna moment".

If the New York Times is the fish wrap newspaper, USA Today lines the garbage can.

Just look who libs are championing with their support of Moore. They support a marxist millionaire who thinks his own country is awful (even though its made him richer than all but a tiny percent of his fellow Americans) and who wishes it defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan. He wants soldiers from HIS OWN FRIGGIN'COUNTRY!!!, for crying out, loud to lose their lives for a victory for Islamo-fascists. I wonder how libs can stand to look at themselves in the mirror.
