So after the Obama Administration threw Shirley Sherrod under the bus, with no other evidence then Liers Lied.
I just got a little pissed, not nearly as pissed as i got when i watch robert Gibbs blame "everyone for jumping to conclusions" The idea that the MEDIA's one and ONLY JOB is to report the NEWS, didnt seem to be ironic to Major Garretas he blamed Gibbs for the snap judgment and the Administration FOR TRUSTING what FOX NEWS!!!! ok, that might be a paraphrase of what Major said... but seriously THEY SHOULD be blamed for trusting FOX.
The fact, that the white house didn't point to CNN as the ONLY news agency that actually did its job and followed up on the "allegations" before reporting on the story piled onto my frustration. CNN Seemed a bit pissed too 'well some of us did call before we reported on it' - Jake Tapper
So below is my initial thoughts (which i may elaborate on at some point in the future) and my Face book discussion with another of my self identified "independent" friends...
It immediately reminded me about when FOX covered the NEW BLACK PANTHERS. which relies on the ignorance of its viewers to slander legitimate civil rights groups. :: coughs :: ACORN :: coughs::
How do i know they prey on the ignorance of their viewers? Cuz I didn't know who the hell the "NEW" Black Panthers were, and i was like "holy cow these guys have changed." But then of course at the end of the segment i was like "wait i'm watching fox, lets check the google and see whats a lie" (sen. Franken would be so proud of me)
Original FB post:
After Van Jones, ACORN, and now this (most recent) despicable vial LIE...
FOX is the prostitute of news, and loyal viewers are the "john's" buying the fantasy of a world they wish they lived in.
(It did take the CRACK Journalism of Rick Sanchez to get to the bottom of this...)

yea, and they showed that black guy with the gun once...
way to make a moral equivalence... I'm sure your girlfriends said another man looked attractive once... Go frack that "Jane" with a clear conscience now.
You're right, I should not have made the stretch.
One news agency inflated a story without conducting the proper background research.
Another network placates (overtly supports) an outrageous race/sex-baiter whose nielsen rating is dwarfed by the average IQ of a fox viewer. (http://www.businessinsider.com/...)

"One news agency inflated A story without conducting the proper background research. "
A story?.. A story?.. like its an isolated FRACKING incident? YOu want me to admit Olberman is an Asshole? (so is deutsch btw)
SURE.. but your the one drawing the moral equivalent!... so i'm assuming your claiming there is only ONE asshole on FOX.. how about just prime time?
And i don't care if there assholes i care if they are LYING!!!!! if they run footage over and over and over again, without EVER calling the people in IT!!!! (be it ACORN, NAACP, THE NEW BLACK PANTHERS, VAN JONES) NBC may have liberal opinion journalists, but they DONT ACTIVELY LIE about facts or misconstrue the facts to defame political enemies that have NO association with the story.
When rachel maddow talks about the John Burch society she bends over backwards trying to point out how they are "fringe"
When fox talks about the "new black panthers" trying to make them sound like they are "the black panthers" WHEN THEY ARE NOT!!!!! The black panthers were TRUE CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS and heros to many of us...
http://en.wikipedia.org/...
The NEW BLACK PANTHERS are a racist organization that has NO LINK (and have been "refudiated" by the former leadership of the REAL BPanthers) but I'm sure you didnt know that. I had to google it cuz I (unlike the whitehouse) know when a FOX report doesnt smell right, ITS probably a LIE!
"an outrageous race/sex-baiter whose"
you talking about beck and O'rielly .."I truly believe that this president has showed himself to be a racist"
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/...l?
how is Olberman a sexist Racebater? did you hear that on fOX?... did they "report" and did you "decide"?...
How about the thousands of people across america who have devoted there lives to helping those who have the least among us, were all defunded (now unemployed) because of the LIES that were perpetuated by FOX and their cronies. You don't think they're at fault OR YOU for unquestionably believing them? Not to mention those people who once received services from ACORN.
OH and BTW, my ISSUE with fox isnt that Megan Kelly doesnt call out Orielly for being a PRICK!!! its that megan kelly (and 80% of the rest of them) LIE (misleads knowingly or retardedly) about Civil rights organizations, about ACORN, about all the other things they blatantly lie about. And you believe it simply because you think "we're" falling for similar LIES on the "other side"
do you know the difference between isolated incidents and a systemic problem? or does such a distinction not exist in your mind?
But who cares, your gonna keep frackin that "JANE" for no other reason then you want to, how you justify it to yourself doesn't really matter, now does it...
Am i missing something here?
UPDATE (3 hours later)
I was missing something. I didnt realize that Andrew Breitbart was the specific conservative activist that posted the ACORN TAPES!!!!
I mean i've only been watching NBC. FOX and CNN all day. Why would such a thing be relevant? I dont know maybe because i've seen one conservative pundits after another acting as if this was "just a mistake." The Liberal pundits response? Nothing specific, just standard "he's a conservative and distorted." It's not like i expect the "experts" to go to the google and actually do research themselves, but come on cant they take some of that fat ass salary of there's and hire a college kid too just google shit for them?... HELL I'll do it...
How about we trickle down on me? How is it that i can find this crap and put it together and "professionals" just seem clueless? It's like its a god damn conspiracy of ignorance out there!!!!
