Sources say Matt is unavailable tonight and the fill-in host will be KFI Los Angeles' John Zeigler. I don't know much about him, other than he's not the worst they have to offer. A rousing endorsement if I've ever given one.
Post what he says for me, and I'll join you later! Have fun!
I voted for K-Fed. Serious!
Sunday night ping. Hope you had happy Thanksgivingses!
Sources say Matt is unavailable tonight and the fill-in host will be KFI Los Angeles' John Zeigler...Among other things, John Zeigler is the local talk radio host here in Los Angeles who first broke the John Kerry "stuck in Iraq" story.
From johnziegler.com:
How the John Kerry/Iraq Story Really Broke
The way that the story of John Kerrys comments about education and getting stuck in Iraq became blockbuster news is rather humorous and tells us a lot about the nature of our modern news media...-- snip --
Here is how it really all went down...
-- snip --...I decided to take a chance and lead my program with the news of the Kerry gaffe that only one local TV station who was at the Angelides event had even bothered to play (and again that was totally without fanfare or context). Over the next three hours I played the clip at least 10 times...
-- snip --
...After some initial frustration in our attempt to post the audio on the KFI website...the audio soon began spreading like a wildfire across the internet. First, it was posted on Michelemalkin.com and Hotair.com where it got national exposure. Then, through the efforts of us at KFI and many others who bombarded the Drudge Report with links to the audio on our website, within about four hours of being aired on our show the story went absolutely nuclear when around midnight Pacific Time when it was prominently placed on the preeminent news website in the world.
Getting on Drudge when it did was critical not just because of the massive media play that any link there automatically receives, but because it was vitally important that the story get legs before sunrise on the East coast. Since Kerry had made the statement on Monday evening, had it not made Drudge until after noon on Tuesday it very well may never have caught fire...CLICK HERE for the rest of that story
Hey lainie. Just a hunch but I imagine the Litvinenko poisoning will be the evening's top story, and looking forward to an interesting show.
My point exactly - if you assume that journalists are not the paragons of virtue which they present themselves as but rather are selfish and cowardly, you can understand their behavior far better than if you try to start with an ideological assumption that "they say that because they are liberals." No, they say that because they are self-centered and cowardly, and the result is what gets called "liberal."Because they are cowardly, they have no interest in fighting a fair fight with someone else who "buys ink by the carload." Far better to cooperate - "I'll call you objective if you call me objective" - than to take up the challenge of actually trying to be objective. Do that, and first thing you know you will find yourself in the uncomfortable position of having to point out that the emperor isn't even wearing BVDs.
Cowardice and self-centeredness explains why journalists criticize not only the "capitalists" who provide our food, clothing, shelter, and fuel but also the police and military without which the socialist's beloved government could not exist as an effective institution. The defining characteristic of the target of the journalist is that they are competitors with journalists for the respect of the public but
- targets are vulnerable to journalistic attack because they do not buy ink by the carload, and
- targets don't defer to journalists when journalists (inevitably) project their fantasies onto the reality in which the target functions under a bottom line discipline.
The ideology that criticism trumps action is a "symbolism over substance" virtual reality in which PR is the only thing that matters. It is an ideology in which no good deed is ever good enough, and therefore no risk is worth taking. It is an ideology which promises greatness but delivers only scapegoating and indecision. It is in short the ideology of the Clinton Administration, the ideology of adolescence. The ideology of socialism.
Journalism is the business of attracting attention by the use of topical nonfiction. So while most of life, for most people, is muddling through mundane problems and earning a living, in the artificial reality of journalism most of the discussion is about unusual - primarily unusually bad things.
....plus maybe a phone call from Ann Coulter!!!
