This is my first diary, and I had planned to talk about Scarborough Country as a rogue state. Then, I opened the WasPost. Normally, I read the editorials, then A section. However, the delivery-person bullseyed the puddle again, so I had to dig down to the Style section.
Howard Kurtz has the real skinny on the blog-spe... you know... the place on which blogs exist -- a virtual crystal ball floating in cyberspace.
His column, "Media Notes" is adjunct to a gig on CNN with the most ironic of names: "Reliable Sources." Remember when his sources asserted that the liberal blogs were obsessed with the trashy details of Jeff Gannon/Guckert? The implication -- we are virtual dumpster journalists, looking for digital condoms and escort receipts. While on my flat screen, Guckert was mostly about Media abuse, with a gay escort cherry on top. Kurtz whored it in print as the "Gay Male Prostitute" story. It was MSM in MSM.
Now, why does this man need sources to read blogs? He is an office dork who freaks out when he can't convert his disk to Adobe. And he thinks his automatic cup holder is broken... where's that damn ANY key? Howard Kurtz is reliable -- every week he provides more evidence that he is a complete moron.
Flash forward to today... ok.. last week -- because this man has a very slow connection. "Doubts Raised On Schiavo Memo".
He covered this fairly minor part of the larger DeLay is a Hypocrite and Total Slime story. How hard is it to read online posts? I haven't seen the word memo in days. Even Jason Blair wouldn't have to fake this kinda shit. My parrot said that Tucker Carlson sent him a coded message about the "fake secret memo" by mentioning it on Mathews' Roundtable. Now, I know this because Tucker and my parrot are both birdbrains and share a love for Orville Reddenbacher.
Birdbrain Howard pecked around and eventually someone gave him Fred Barnes' number. He and Barnes, a self-avowed fair and balanced reliable source, dished like old gilfriends. Suckered by his source at NewsCorp, he gleefully confirmed the story with the Traditional Values Coalition and ... hold on it's a small paragraph.. yes... "SOME BLOGGERS!!"
Does the anyone at the Post know this guy has been on the couch in his boxers for a week eating cheesy-poofs? We are being framed by a shill to Delayheads!
JUST IN: Some Bloggers have informed me that video of Howard being sodomized by Rupert Murdoch can be viewed at jeffgannon.whore.
