Twinkie Party: The Loss of 18,000 Hostess Jobs Is All a Big Joke to ABC News
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 11/16/2012 9:56:40 AM PST by chessplayer

The cast of Good Morning America on Friday treated the bankruptcy of Hostess and the loss of 18,500 jobs as a hilarious joke. Josh Elliott, George Stephanopoulos and others guffawed as they handed out Twinkies and ate them on set.

They see the closure as an Obama success story.

Those jobs are gone.

Whatever bakeries buys up the brands and recipes is not going to need the workers and facilities.

Yeah, I guess now that you mention it, it is pretty funny to see all those Union workers standing on the unemployment line. Hahahaha... wow, that is funny!

Laugh it up funny boy.

Considering ABC news is itself a joke, is this a surprise?

Sadly, Hostess will be “parted-out” like and old pickup truck...

Big Media are evil people, who revel in other folks’ misery.

“DIRTY LAUNDRY”

Songwriters: HENLEY, DON / KORTCHMAR, DANNY

I make my living off the Evening News
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you ‘bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
It’s interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out what’s going on
You don’t really want to know just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough love
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down

Kick ‘em when they’re up
Kick ‘em when they’re down
Kick ‘em when they’re stiff
Kick ‘em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do “The Innuendo”
We can dance and sing
When it’s said and done we haven’t told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
Give us dirty laundry!

Big Bird is saved, but Obama has killed the Twinkie.

Twinkie has been around my entire life, I remember eating them when I was in first grade...

Good bye, America, I am glad that I once knew you.

Let ‘em know how you feel (won’t do much good, but at least you have let them know).

I've been looking for an article that specifies the average compensation package for a Hostess Bakery production line baker...but I can't find it.

I thought I'd seen that info about a year ago. But for whatever reason I can't seem to find it today...may be using the wrong words to search with.

The union consists of about 5,000 members. nearly 19,000 are out of work. I suspect another few thousand will be out of work as well.

If you’ve ever lived in a town with one or two large factories that close, you’ve seen the job loss spread to restaurants, gas stations, hardware stores, etc.

The Obamas wanted people to stop eating junk food. Maybe Little Debbie is next and they can really be happy about putting so many people out of work.

Let them mock and ridicule - lack of basic math is on display. Like ‘the boy’ never had a real job much less run a lemonade stand. Side note: Turn off the maggots! Starve the beast!

Just think of the millions of conservatives who would think it hilarious to see Georgie S. with a sign: I lie for food.

There should be NO sponsors for these ignorant clowns who get paid for entertaining each other. We haven’t watched their trashy show since we got cable 11 years ago.
