This sunday's Media Nuggets.
###### Finally! Kimberly(CBS) acknowledges the greatness of our Soldiers - debunking CNN'er Eason Jordon's theory of Soldiers targetting journalists. Says that killings are conducted by an act of evil and the victims are lucky — if they have the care of the U.S. military. The U.S. military treated me as one of its own, saving my life a few times over, with the best people, the best training and the best equipment.
###### Chris Matthews - gets a dressing down... Nothing screams "clueless" like being shown the fool that you are by a Marine.
###### Christmas gifting - MSM Style! - Time Magazine Unit Cuts 27 Jobs. Carol Lin (Single mom with toddler who just lost her husband) is out from CNN & will be replaced by Rick Sanchez. Rene Syler out from CBS' The Early Show.
###### Deboltonizing! - The President has recess appointed Warren Bell & Mark McKinnon for Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Broadcasting Board of Governors.
###### Journalists used by antiwar officer for propaganda - found themselves used to convict him by Army prosecutors.
###### Challenging & defending MSM - ** Nobles ** and ** Knaves **.
###### Who Should You Believe - AP or Bloggers?.
###### RINOS & CINOS digging deeper - in bed with Enemedia.
###### Ex-Newsday boss gets prison term - In child porn case.
###### Jim Axelrod of CBS on this week's presser: "50 percent of Americans say they favor a beginning of an end to U.S. military involvement in Iraq. 43 percent said keep fighting". It 's clear from the questions that 100% of the press corps were representing only 50% of Americans (if their polls were to be believed).
###### What goes around ......... - Remember the WH press corps' shameful behaviour about First Lady Laura Bush's skin cancer treatment? Well, now liberal "journalist" Murray Waas whines that some (libral)journalist exposed his cancer treatment (as if it mattered anything to anyone). And it 's he, who "reported" earlier that 15 WH staffers including Rove will be indicted in Plame case.
###### Enemedia aiding the enemy - San Francisco Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Associated Press, San Jose Mercury News and Bloomberg News are challenging Terrorist Surveillance Program via backdoor court case.
###### Want Ratings - Go Conservative! - Mike Rosen's open letter to CBS.
See U all next week!
The "act of evil piece" was a terrific story of what it is really like In Iraq and even CBS had to thank the troops for what they do, nice to see.
Your piece De resistance was the blogger vs. AP story I never laughed so hard. Many in the blogopshere have sealed the AP's fate as nothing more than an arrogant bunch of journalistic wannbe's controlled by the DNC/DBM. This piece was hilarious and typical of what goes on. They(the AP) don't have a clue. Great job as usual anita.(And Merry Christmas)
Thanks anita! I missed the Rosen column and enjoyed it. Of course, he's whistling in the wind but it was fun to read anyway.
Thanks as always for your most interesting links.
I have a campaign against calling widows "single moms." I started this campaign when a very dear friend who lost her husband when she was pregnant with her second child called herself a 'single mom' as she was being treated very badly by the principal of her kids' school, and I have been sensitive to this issue ever since. "Widow" means that the children do not have a father around for weekends, holidays, etc. It also means that the mother did not have the child alone.
RE: Rich Lowry's knavishness
I wonder what the publication numbers are for National Review these days. Lowry is such a weak sister.
Thank you, both, for the gift of this thread and your news gems each week, year round. Much appreciated and I look forward to them every Sunday morning.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the (as usual) great Nuggets, and Merry Christmas. It is a double shame about Carol Lin, first losing her husband, now getting furloughed. The third shame is, smarmy to say the least Rick Sanchez (her replacement) is formerly of Channel 7 the Fox affiliate in Miami, and led the wackos on the mantra " if it bleeds it leads" parade. He was long closely affiliated with "The Great Corrupter" from Hialeah. He got into trouble for that, then he was driving drunk leaving Joe Robbie Stadium and ran over a pedestrian and killed him, and never served a day in jail. Typical freaking CNN role model.....Yikes. I wish I could say something nice about him, sorry no way, no how.
