Here 's this sunday's Media Nuggets
###### Biased, Unethical, Agenda-driven Press! says Former Iraq Commander. But then, SHAMEFUL MEDIA distorts Truth, as usual.
###### Washington TrashPost's crocodile tears for a Convicted Criminal, because his treasonous behaviour on National Security matches Wash.TrashPost's.
###### Can Ailes Outfox CNBC? On Alan Greenspan's recent criticisms of President Bush: You can't sell a book in America if you don't dump on Bush. That's the cheapest shot in the world. You cannot get an advance, and you can't sell a book because the publishers are all people who hate Bush and hate Republicans.
###### Credibility assessments, Washington Post style! -> Moveon.org must regard Wash.Post as quite a bargain. Unlike with the NYTimes, it didn't have to pay Wash.Post a penny to have it imply that General Petraeus is betraying the trust of his country.
###### Fox BabyTV! News Corporation's Fox International Channels has taken a major stake in BabyTV for an undisclosed sum. Launched in Israel in 2003, the channel is dedicated to infants and toddlers under three. Commercial-free, BabyTV is carried on more than 75 platforms in 50-plus countries.
###### "Reporter"'s careless-ness leaves 1000s of Michigan 5th & 6th graders to retake the the MEAP test.
###### Time Magazine Karen Tumulty recycles democrat-press release as her article. Karen Tumulty previously termed Al Gore as "Shakepeare of Politics"
###### Changing Times? -> CAIR, FOX Co-Host Hollywood 101 Workshop!. Bill Clinton & Jackson on latest Fox-promo ad!
###### NYTimes, liberals angry @ CBS for doing a fair profile of Lynne Cheney and her new memoir, “Blue Skies, No Fences. (they were angry for doing a fair interview with Justice Thomas too).
###### Fox Considers Joe Buck -> for Late-Night Show. With Jay Leno not expected to retire & Conan O'Brien replace him on NBC's "Tonight Show," the late-night scene "promises to get interesting."
###### Morning Sickness - Audience erosion -> causes upheavals at a.m. shows.
###### Radio One to pull the plug on Syndication One which includes Al Sharpton.
###### Wash.post Milbank expose -> of Nancy Pelosi lunch. On antiwar democrat-base: "If they were poor and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they would be arrested for loitering, but because they have 'Impeach Bush' across their chest, it's the First Amendment."
###### Wash.Post's owner to dump -> 22% of its stake in the Washington Post Co!
B u z z .........
*** Donna Brazile on Condoleezza Rice.
*** 2 awards on the same day, but One is Nobler than the Nobel.
There is nothing any of us can write about that gets any more to the point or illustrates what we are fighting for better than his.
They are truly the ultimate of Americans!
He and his entire team of Seals are the best this country has and should be clelebrated 24/7.
When comparisons of what the Nobel committe does and than what our brave Seals do nothing further need be said.
Anita's Media Nuggets for October 14th, 2007
to my blog.
Excellent, as usual. I had read the PowerLine piece this morning. There's a slew of others picking up the same distortion and outright coverup by the MSM. Here's a few:
Hugh Hewitt: General Sanchez On The American Media's Coverage Of The War
Captain Ed (Captain's Quarters): Sanchez' Message
Ace of Spades: The Deciders Have Decided, Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez (US Army, Ret) About to Become Darling of the Left
This story may have legs.
Similarly there's a bunch of folks jumping ugly on much of the MSM in relation to your last nugget, but particularly the NY Times, for either burying or completely ignoring the Medal of Honor awarded to Navy SEAL, Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy
RedState.COM has a great piece on the award itself: Navy SEAL Wins Medal of Honor
as does Michelle Malkin: In honor of Lt. Michael P. Murphy
And two great pieces at PowerLine: Lt. Murphy's mettle and Lt. Murphy's mettle, part 2
The second Powerline piece has links to some MSM coverage from the NY Post slamming the Times. A lot of the other "usual suspect" conservative blogs have good pieces on both Murphy and the shameful treatment at the hands of the American press his heorism has receivec. Bill Kristol cited this as "sickening" compared to the fawning coverage of the Goracle. on the Fox roundtable this morning.
