(snort) Lovely credentials; a senior writer for a far-left weekly free rag that's good for nothing except the nightclub and classified sections.
Ooh, bingo!
...although I wonder what he identifies as the cause of Brock's shame. We may/may not agree about that.
All of this validates what I am reading in Slander by Ann Coulter. Attack the conservative! They don't think of Time as news; they think of it as propaganda. That's why they are mad. Haha!
I'll still read the article BUT that picture is atrocious, a deliberate smear.
Coulter takes one of the Left's favorite weapons, hyperbolic rhetoric, and uses it "back at them".
David Horowitz does the same thing with political theater.
And it has the desired effect- it drives them absolutely nuts because they're totally unused to be on the receiving end of either tactic, and are therefore completely unprepared to deal with it.
I enjoyed the Time piece. I got a better sense of the woman without the cheerleading or smearing that a biased writer would employ. She is certainly not for the faint of heart but she obviously has a following.
I read her for the humor factor and also to hear a rebuttal of the other side. She assumes that the reader already knows the facts so in her style of writing she is weaving a script that hits hard and fast and only at the other side. She is the ultimate conservative cheerleader.
And, it just pisses off the left that someone points out where they are full of it.
They rage because it is.
Ann's whole M.O. is about attack. Yes, it is amusing but rather than look at the truthful aspects of what the left claims she will often go ad hominem over substance.
I think it's a winning strategy. She's trying to cut through the fog of left wing media control and get some points out there. Yeah, it's ugly sometimes. I like her writing better than her appearances. She has an annoying voice, I think she looks shreepy. I couldn't be around a woman who talks that much. But her book Slander is very good. It makes a very strong case. It has the harsh tone that makes it inaccessible to many, but it's a good read.
bump
FWIW, I thought the Time piece was pretty even, and well written.. it mentioned sh'ed been engagd three times..but made NO effort to interview anyone of her exes..
I love Ann Coulter because she if funny. Not that many people, left or right, are funny. I truly appreciate anyone who can bring something to the table.
Me too.
But I bet your editors do (cha-ching! Conservatism sells!)
and if people read my work over the years [zzzzzz] -- I've been a journalist for ten years --[ZZZZZZZ] and if you read that body of work[ZZZZZZZ!] I think you'll see that I'm not trying to kiss up to conservatives.
I'm a good liberal--I really am!
And if you look at Time magazine, even over the last month, this idea that we're kissing up to conservatives is wrong.
Who disagrees with that?
Good point.
