This week,
Ann Coulter continues the coordinated conservative deconstruction of the New York Times. Evident to anyone paying attention is that conservative surrogates of the current administration have been hammering the NYT, in a manner that is louder than usual.
Anyway, the parvenue c@nt comes out again without a thesis in a column that evidently took about 8 minutes to crap out in the back of a limo on the way to a Limbaugh tie premier. Here is what it amounts to:
- All forms of consumed media are subject to market forces. Any news outlet that doesn't believe this is so dumb, stupid, or some such horseshit. This is the basis for her argument that all televised media (and the NYT) should follow the FOX model. All this reveals about the money-hound is that she has no knowledge of actual journalists who are, as NYT Editor Bill Keller rightly states, idealistic people. This means that there exists a dialectical tension between markets and ideals and both win sometimes. That is too complex for Coulter.
- The above observations should be interpreted as Coulter CELEBRATING the impacts of market forces on journalism - which makes absolutely no fucking sense in a democracy. There are safeguards put in place (slowly being removed) so that news monopolies aren't governed solely by the dictates of raw capitalism. What a maroon!
- She claims that it makes no sense for CNN to shift left after FOX took the right-wing market. She deridingly comments, "Now that's what I call a business model: American news consumers are moving right. Quick, let's move to the left." Well if the Manhattan Market Whore would stop a minute and think, she'd realize that there are such things as market niches. If Toyota sells the best 2 door in town, I can compete with it or satisfy the demand for a 4 door.
No, no, no! Reason is lost on this ding-bat. She makes non sequiturs and ad hominem attacks all while producing entirely unsubstantiated and counter-intuitive claims. If I needed ungrounded conjecture, I could flip on the
Fat-Ass Drug Addict. If she had only written the absurdity, that Joe Scarborough's show is the only worth-while program on MSNBC at the START of her column, I would have stopped reading right then and there.
