I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
I'll come in again. Coffee is brewing.
I knew there was a new thread somewhere.
Now, I have to try for three. Curses to Nim's dirty little secret about "frists".
Damn you bad art! 
Bush presidency: FIERY WRECK!
Murtha is a senator? When did all of this happen? Did lil ricky resign and the gov appoint Murtha?
It's a good read, although looonnnggg.
oops. i'll send a message to the editor..
Did John O'Neill now serve with Murtha as well? Boy did he get around back in the day.
I see that Murtha is still a representative later in the article. And I had such high spirits over the resignation of Asshole.
Damned liberal media!

hah. elf quest.
oops. i'll send a message to the editor..
Oooooh, lookie at Mr Big I'll Send A Message To The Editor man.
haven't you been calling them pravda on the hudson and pravda on the potomac?
the NYTimes and the WAPO are businesses first and as such will always treat progressives this way - it is antithetical to their survival...progressives will NEVER and probably have NEVER gotten fair treatment in the MSM - other than opinion pieces and fluff stories that give no information
nice. ya crapped out the site.
OT: The Silly Season has already began!
Another chapter was written yesterday in the history of great hamster escapes, when a pet called Mike survived three types of crushing machine and a shredder at a waste recycling plant.
The small rodent was left with only a minor foot injury after astonished staff discovered him limping into a final sorting area after going through a process which rips cookers and washing machines into stringy bits of metal.
Mike's white-knuckle ride through the Recyclo works on Deeside, north Wales, adds to the remarkable survival record of Mesocricetus auratus over many years. Hamsters have returned from premature burial, travelled through the post in envelopes (a highly illegal practice) and contentedly shared pet cages with poisonous snakes.
My brother was embarrassed when he saw it because I asked "didn't you used to read Elf Quest?"
He says "No, I didn't 'used to read it', I read a couple of them".
"Curses to Nim's dirty little secret about "frists".
Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore"
Now I know why them teevee magicians don't give away their secrets =x
Wow, CNN reporting on how "women" to be "women" need to find themselves a man.
Ugh!
nice. ya crapped out the site.

I know, and I really wanted to read that ElfQuest stuff.
Ah, has Vicki discovered the joys of automatic browser refreshing?
so not only do his idiot donors PAY for Pat Robertson's plane, but he makes money off it:
She said Robertson was not on the plane and rents it out because he uses it infrequently.
Failed at everything, even being a dictator.....

Wow, CNN reporting on how "women" to be "women" need to find themselves a man.

Vicki,
Can you send me your email? I have somethin to orward to you.
Wow, CNN reporting on how "women" to be "women" need to find themselves a man.
Any word on patroness MILFs?
Media Matters is completely atriosed.
I have somethin to orward to you.
I like orward women.
Any word on patroness MILFs?
Stop being so orward.
You owe me a coke.
Wow, CNN reporting on how "women" to be "women" need to find themselves a man.
so what does CNN think 'women' should be?
I mean if we're not 'women' enough, then what are we?
Any word on patroness MILFs?

Sorry NTodd, you'll just have to keep fantasizing about Aunt Bea.
I dunno why, but I never got into ElfQuest.

I can't read the link either, I confess. Atrios should warn MMFA when he's going to do this sort of thing.
I tried being a platypus, but it felt weird.
Laying eggs for your next 136 children might be easier than labor.
Link's Atrios'd.
Morning, (again), batties.
Ok Media Matters has not responded for some 5 minutes..
Sum up, Please.
I'm supposing that the gist is "the MSM is completely in hand of the Bush/Scaife/DebbieHowell party, and I can document it.."
I wish this WAS news..
Link's Atrios'd.
Don't worry: Atrios is gonna "send a message to the editor."

Well, I do have a cousin . . . nope, that won't work.
How about an ex-girlfriend? Nope, that won't work either.
Oh, I know.
Well, you'd either have to be a speed reader or the site had to be offline in order to comment so soon.
Very good article, but sometimes I think we here know what all the mystics who hear prophesies and revealed truth musta felt like.
"Hey, did anybody else hear/read that? What? nobody else read that? B-b-but it clearly laid out how the mainstream media has and is continuing to fuk over the progressives.
No, I'm not making it up. It's real!
Quit looking at me that way.
Atrios is gonna "send a message to the editor."
It's an old blogger message. It means "Jamison Foser sleeps with the paste-eaters".
mogwai, I saw your band in Chicago a couple of weeks ago! The LOUDEST concert I have attended, and one of the best.

If anybody's bored waiting for MMFA to come back up, you can always fuck with the trolls at my place. Yup, they're still at it.
Ugh. Proper names again, NTodd.
You liberal hippie commies better leave the New York Times and the Washington Post alone.
They do G-d's work, you know.
The Media Matters piece finally came up ...
So here's my reaction: why can't we find more reporters and commentators who go right for the jugular when asked a stupid question? Why can't we find ruthless, smart, informed, logical people who have no qualms about drawing blood (rhetorically speaking) when they have their 30-second sound bite?
From the MM editorial:
ROSEN: Sexist. There's no rationale for focusing on a candidate's husband's love life at this point, who is not even a candidate. I mean, if we went down the list, for every potential presidential candidate between now and the next election, and talked about their marriage, their relationship, the potential extracurricular activities, it's offensive, and I actually think --
MATTHEWS: Why don't we just limit that discussion to people who have been impeached over the issue?
ROSEN: I actually think that people were offended when they read. They were serious, but offended.
MATTHEWS: Why don't we just limit the discussion to people who have been impeached over the issue?
ROSEN: Well, you know why? Because nobody was scrutinized the way he was.
Rosen's answer to Matthews ridiculous question was weak. First, why SHOULD the discussion be limited to people who have been impeached? And second, Clinton was NOT impeached over an infidelity. He was impeached over lying about it.
Idiots.
Even Robert Kennedy, Jr. got flummoxed when responding to Somebody Holt yesterday regarding his column about voter fraud in Ohio (it's in Rolling Stone and over at truthout; I haven't read it yet). Holt tried to change the conversation to registration fraud, saying that Democrats were actively getting people to register to vote (oh, the horror!) and that some people were registering under silly names like Freddie Kreuger. What the hell does that have to do with whether or not legitimate votes were being counted? But Kennedy took the bait. I started yelling at my TV at that point, and then decided I'd better change the channel before my head exploded.
No question the media is biased. Still and all, it would have been nice if Al Gore had stood up for his good name so the phoney accusations of lying and distortion weren't guaranteed to stand. Same thing for John Kerry and the Swifties. Even Howard Dean never said, "Of course I'm mad and so would you be if you reporters were paying attention." So I think the folks at MediaMatters.org are right but they're being just a little too easy on our candidates.
reid, rodham? progressives? come on, mr. foser, you know better than that. the corporate wing of the democratic party trying to coopt language from the grassroots once again. not because they admire progressive principles, but because they recognize from focus group testing that the label sells.
beyond cynical for the DLC to call one of their offshoots progressive policy institute. that's as ridiculous as republicans running institute of peace.
and as much as i adore murtha, i wouldn't call him a progressive.
Thanks for the pointer; it's a good article but it just reinforces a meme that most of us recognized long ago: the mainstream media are a branch of the GOP 's propaganda arm.
The real question is: how do we change this in reality, and, if that is impossible, how do we make this understood and acknowledged by most of the country?
The GOP worked for years on hammering the meme, "The media are all Democrats". It was BS then, and it is utterly divorced from reality now. We have to find a way to counter-attack: "The media are owned by the GOP, and give Bush and Co. a pass on every disaster. " I don't know how to do this.
Hillary Clinton is no progressive.
I don't get why one of the slandered politiciams does not bring a libel suit against one of the media outlets that publishes an outright falsehood. Just one libel suit -- whether or not it was ultimately successful -- would do wonders to make them more careful. And some of MediaMatters examples are so egregious that I suspect the defendant would lose, even with the public figure / plaintiff's additional burden in these cases of having to prove malicious intent. Some Hollywood celebrities have been successful at this . . . .
