The name, wholly apropos of its acolytes, engraves the stupidity of humanity at is most idle and vacuous worst.

Why anyone would feel compelled to dispense their inane activities, thoughts and musings to an equally gaffle of loons who ‘follow’ them is beyond me.

It leaves me wondering just what hashtag (a curious appendage) Satan uses.

Good article.

MSNBC sole purpose is to play dog whistle to leftwing activists. Their acts as broadcasters are seditious and should be punished.

Cute, but the 1940’s picture would be more appropriate if it were (left to right) a guy and two girls.

I, for one, long for the day the mainstream media returns to some degree of honesty and objectivity

I really don't know when that was. Walter Cronkite? What a laugh. Maybe Huntley-Brinkley, when you consider Brinkley's famed late-night outburst at Clinton's re-election.If conservatives existed in the networks (Hume at ABC ?), they policed themselves to objectivity, likely due to their values or wanting to retain their employment.

Actually, NBC News has some history here. It still hasn’t named the person who dishonestly edited the 911 call of George Zimmerman ...

Recall they're also the outfit that rigged a pickup truck to explode on impact for another one of their productions.

That's what I was hoping to find, but all I could do was 2 out of 3.

Most of the time, the only thing you can do in 140 characters is embarrass yourself. And the rest of the time your words just make no sense because you tried to be too brief.

It’s why I don’t do twitter.

If they bumped it up to say, 500 characters then I might be interested in Twitter.

Kind of a hatchet-face, so it must be Jon Cary's son. I assume you know who the girls on the right are.

their degree in 1940 bisexual polar bear studies isn’t all that marketable in a tight economy.

Oh Yes there is! Just apply for and you will receive a large Government Grant to study the effects of Global Warming on bi-sexual polar bears and you're back in business.

Yep. With 500 characters you could say stuff that actually matters. It’s why I comment on youtube videos.

I especially liked to comment on “it gets better” videos. Drove them nuts.

The media demonstrated long ago that it is not worthy of the protections afforded to it in the Constitution.

Time for patriots to initiate a dialog about this, similar to the one used by the Left to erode 2nd Amendment rights.

“I, for one, long for the day the mainstream media returns to some degree of honesty and objectivity.”

Edward R. Murrow trashed Joe McCarthy. The media lauded Kennedy, trashed anti-communists, and agitated for left wing causes even when I was a child, which was a long time ago. They just got their way for so long, we never noticed their true bias until Reagan, when they acted like a cross between screeching pigs and whining kindergartners.

Actually, the job they did on Goldwater in ‘64 was about as savage as they have ever been.
