Fox News leaves directory indexes open - very revealing
Mon Jul 23, 2007 at 06:43:47 AM PDT
A digg posting has revealed foxnews.com image directories (and others) which has revealed some disturbing pictures and even an ftp username and password. The proper webserver setup does not normally show directory listings, but either due to a mistake, new Ubuntu webserver, or maybe a hacker, a complete listing of image directories and other allow browsing the entire image library of FoxNews.

It's your war now Congress
Fri May 25, 2007 at 01:10:35 AM PDT
I realize you never officially declared war on the nation of Iraq, but May 24th shall be noted as the day Congress declared ownership of the war. The good news is that instead of the news cycles showing Memorial Day parades and blaming Congress for not fund the troops, they will be describing how you finally gave in to Bush's demands.
In reality, it wasn't about funding the troops or the war. There is plenty of money in the Pentagon to do that. This was about funding the EXTRA troops for the EXTRA war in Iraq. It was bad enough you couldn't standup to the first war, but now you literally approved the surge of the "Surge". Congrats, you're the proud shameful parents of a baby war.
Sen. Kerry needs donations to end war in Iraq

Senator Kerry needs your help. Please donate all you can to stop people who are keeping our troops in Iraq.

Send ABC a netroots message with 'Dancing with the Stars'
Tue Sep 12, 2006 at 09:24:53 AM PDT
ABC is looking to recover from their mediocre ratings from
"Path to 9/11" fan-fiction with their fall season hit
"Dancing With The Stars". The new season airs tonight at 8/7c and will be critical for upcoming fall ratings numbers. So, let's send them a message. Of course I'm not talking about actually watching the show and improving their ratings, but rather send a message with filling the phone banks with votes for Jerry Springer.
Jerry Springer --> 800-VOTE4-11 (800-868-3411)
(more details below)
[Update] Ugh! It's a two hour special.. So phone lines are open 8:00PM - 10:30PM EST.
So go phone the 800 number on ABC's dime. Don't watch ABC, just spend their money.
Follow Kossacks, there is only one thing left to do
Fri Sep 08, 2006 at 02:37:28 PM PDT
You are crazy if you think ABC is going to pull their hit piece. For one thing, with all this attention, this crockudrama will be one of the highest rated miniseries. For another, Disney/ABC is looking for Congress to further a pro-corporate agenda regarding FCC, media ownership, digital rights, copyright, internet content, prosecuting piracy, etc. etc.
The only thing left is to DELETE Disney/ABC channels from your TV, DVR, VCR, etc.!
List of stations to delete after the fold.

Followed shortly after a
remote-controlleddrone packed
with explosives
struck a
warship (
Israeli Saar 5 navy gunship) off the coast of Beruit (4 sailors missing, ship suffered heavy damage and towed back to port). A civilian ship
(Egyptian) is also reported to have been hit. Hezbollah declares open war on Israel.
"You wanted an open war and we are ready for an open war," Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said in a taped statement. He vowed to strike even deeper into Israel with rockets.
(Video here)

announcing they will fully support Hezbollah.
Fox is reporting the unmanned drone was Iranian made.
[BREAKDANCING] House passes the Voting Rights Act Extension
Thu Jul 13, 2006 at 02:29:25 PM PDT
Hoorah, all amendment have failed. And the VRA renewal has passed the House after extended delay tactics.
Officially, named the Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Extension, HR-9 has passed despite Rep. King (R-IA) best attempts to mess with the bill, due to his fear of evil multi-lingual ballots.
Voting Rights Renewal Alert from MoveOn PAC is posted over at ePluribus Media and worth a signature. Also, check out the latest Journal publication "Who was really behind the stalled VRA renewal"
In the House, a right-wing bloc of Republicans derailed the vote for over a month.1 It now appears the same stalling tactics--or worse--will happen in the Senate.2 If the VRA is not reauthorized soon, it will open the door to voter discrimination in some of the highest risk areas around the country.
What a tangled web he's trying to weave
Fri May 12, 2006 at 02:36:10 AM PDT
WaPo has an update to the USA Today article about Bush's completely "legal"
homemade-myspace-terrorist-edition.
Bush says he can do it. He's the Decider. And I'm starting to be a believer.
Neither Bush nor his subordinates denied any factual statement in the USA Today report, which said AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corp. have provided customer calling records to the NSA since shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Together those companies serve about 224 million conventional and cellular telephone customers -- about four-fifths of the wired market and more than half of the wireless market. According to data provided by the research group TeleGeography, the three companies connected nearly 500 billion telephone calls in 2005 and nearly 2 trillion calls since late 2001.
Fill in the blanks (formerly known as Hurricane Dejavu)
Wed Sep 07, 2005 at 05:42:39 AM PDT
Everyone likes a good word puzzle, so here is one that may surprise you. The following quotes are from a
Washington Monthly article criticizing FEMA and Bush's handling of the Hurricane disaster.
FILL IN THE BLANK:
Rarely had the failure of the federal government been so apparent and so acute.... Food, clean water, shelter, and medical assistance were scarce. Yet, for the first [__________] days, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which is responsible for coordinating federal disaster relief, was nowhere to be found. And when FEMA did finally arrive, its incompetence further delayed relief efforts. Food and water distribution centers couldn't meet the overwhelming need.
ANSWER: ?
Boston Globe lies for Bush
Tue Sep 06, 2005 at 05:12:07 AM PDT
Boston Globe article today:
Bush makes 3d visit, tours Baton Rouge
Bush makes third visit... Hmm.. lemme see, there was the first photo-op with fake supply depo and fake bulldozers backdrops. Then, yesterday he made an unscheduled stop at the Bethany World Prayer Center in Baton Rouge.
So, what was the third trip?...
Did 2,000 evacuees spend the weekend in hell for a photo-op today?
Mon Sep 05, 2005 at 06:01:10 AM PDT
At first I couldn't understand why they evacuated almost everyone from the Super-hell-dome, but left a few people behind. Certainly, they can drive buses at night -- and certainly, they have helicopters and military transports. So, why are there still evacuees that they hope will be transported by "Sunday or Monday"?
Circumventing HIPAA to get evidence in investigations
Fri Mar 04, 2005 at 04:23:51 AM PDT
The BTK killer was caught in part by the DNA contained in his daughter's pap smear.

what was apparently requested was NOT "health information" - what HIPAA protects - but actual tissue from the suspect's daughter's file samples.
[BREAKING] Dino Ironbody fake Daily Show reporter exposed
Thu Mar 03, 2005 at 04:14:23 PM PDT
Did you hear about the fake reporter "Dino Ironbody"? Newsday has a story about him throwing out softballs to Gifford Miller at a press conference on Tuesday. His question: "How do you feel about the president's awesome plan to privatize Social Security?"
Picture of "reporter" Dino Hardbody.

Fake reporter, real subject
BY BRYAN VIRASAMI AND WILLIAM MURPHY
A "correspondent" from the fake news show The Daily Show with Jon
Stewart was outside City Hall yesterday to get some answers from City
Council Speaker Gifford Miller.
Wearing a badly groomed hairpiece, a fake mustache and an ugly tie,
Rob Corddry waited until after the real reporters had posed their
questions. After nodding in agreement to every word spoken by Miller
about the West Side Stadium, Corddry finally raised his hand.
....
A spokesman for Comedy Central, which will air the segment Thursday
Happy Thursday everyone!
Watch tonight's Daily Show! Air Fleischer is the guest.
Gannon Monday Media Roundup [today's Daily Variety]
Mon Feb 28, 2005 at 03:57:56 AM PDT
(I know it should be Monday Media Melee)
"First they ignored us, then they laughed at us, then they tried to fight us, then we won."
First, they IGNORED the JG story.
Now, they are LAUGHING at the JG story.
Next, they will try to SPIN the JG story.
Finally, we win?
I wanted people to be able to see the Variety Daily (Reed Elsevier Group PLC) article (which isn't on the web), so I apologize if this is a link-to-other-news diary. They kind of went low-brow with it, but what do you expect?
What I hope you get out of this is that the Guckert story has some lasting power and has become watercooler talk. After the Daily Variety article, don't miss Anne Coulter's latest foot-in-mouth ala JG.
Ari & WH staff admitted to partisan games - TWO YEARS AGO
Fri Feb 25, 2005 at 01:01:27 PM PDT
Hindsight is 20/20...
The current revelations about Gannon in the press briefings puts these (pre-war) articles about the shenanigans in the WHPB in a new light. In the audio from the press gaggle, you hear a reporter asking a question out of turn and Bush tells him "this is scripted" and then continues on next reporter on his list. The next day, Ari Fleischer admitted twice that "the President's staff preselected which reporters to call, and the order". CSPAN 3/7/2003 archive - at [20:50]
WTF, corporate media!!! This was an huge issue back then and you dropped the ball. WaPo wrote about the farce of a WHPB then, but when you find out the extent of the sham.. You are silent!
Please, re-read these TWO YEAR OLD articles in the light of Gannon / Guckert revelations.
Gannon's family values - no wife, no kids, just a momma's boy
Fri Feb 11, 2005 at 02:38:31 PM PDT
Well good old Guckert doesn't have any wife or kids. Maybe the 'family' he referred to being threatened was because he lives with his parents. Possible?
www.editorandpublisher.com :
Guckert, who said he was 47 years old, had never been married, and has no children, revealed that he'd used the Gannon name since 2001 and vowed to keep using it. "Absolutely; it is my professional name," he said. "I would be throwing away all of the things I built up over the past few years if I stopped using it."
more lies after the flop...
Gannon reveals Rove's plans: Kos backup your server
Thu Feb 10, 2005 at 03:24:04 AM PDT
Uneditted NPR interview (rm) 22:37
At 6:40 through the interview (Paraphrased transcript):
Q: If you are proud of what you do, why not do it under your own name?
A: I won't reveal any personal information because I am being the "target of threats against myself and my family" I've also brought these "website postings to the attention of federal officials to look into"
As I heard these words coming out of his mouth, I couldn't help but remember a time around the 2004 RNC and the FBI seizure of Indymedia servers in the US and UK, and that was simply over a photo, but no one really knows.
I fear Rove has made a brillant move to get access to logs, emails, usernames and data, of whatever blogs they feel like. You may never know if they have visited your data. Indymedia's ISP was given a gag order, and the feds never needed a court order. (or a non-secret court)
Forget bloggers and payola, the military is now hiring journalist for propaganda
Sat Feb 05, 2005 at 12:25:56 PM PDT
Try and horn in on a journalist's action and they come out swinging.
CNN.com is actually using the headline
"Pentagon sites: Journalism or propaganda?":
In summary, what we have this time is even MORE journalist on the US government payroll (at least 50). But instead of pundits, they are trained PsyOps military propagandists. And, this administration claims it is all in the name of fighting terrorists! (I couldn't make this up!)
CNN.com:
The sites are run by U.S. military troops trained in
"information warfare," a specialty that can include battlefield deception.
Pentagon officials say the goal is to counter "misinformation" about the United States in overseas media.
At first glance, the Web pages appear to be independent news sites. To find out who is actually behind the content, a visitor would have to click on a small link -- at the bottom of the page -- to a disclaimer, which says, in part, that the site is "sponsored by" the U.S. Department of Defense. [quote marks are by the "journalist" not me]
(It's all here after the flop)
