Schlock and awe from CNN
CNN has a profile on its Website about Peoria’s one and only congressman, and naturally, the focus in on his relatively your age and his upcoming birthday-party/fundraiser.
And the headline above this journalistic masterpiece? Schock and awe: The GOP’s young secret weapon?
To which I say: Enough, already. We get it. It’s a play on the...

Politics: Damn liberal media
Here’s another member of the vast right-wing conspiracy claiming the the media is biased in favor of Hillary Clinton. It’s … the Daily Kos?

Politics: Obama supports Net Neutrality
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd8qY6myrrE
For those who click on YouTube videos, here is what he said when asked during an MTV forum whether for his position on NetNeutrality:
“Would you make it a priority in your first year of office to re-instate Net Neutrality as the law of the land? And would you pledge to only appoint FCC commissioners...

A lesson for Nancy Grace …
… When you work in television, do not disrespect the people who push the buttons:
Somehow, I just knew this humorless creature was the sort of person who treated the people who work with her like “underlings” to be ordered about and insulted. Of course, there’s not a molecule in this self-righteous prig’s body that...

Obama madrassa claim debunked
FOXNews and the New York Post took a thinly sourced story in some obscure Moonie rag and decided to run with it, claiming they were just commenting on someone else’s reporting. Apparently, the right-leaning news organization couldn’t couldn’t pass on anything that might toss dirt on two Democratic candidates for president. CNN on the...

CNN still sucking up to Saddam? Apparently so …
I’m not the only one who found CNN’s graphical treatment of the news of Saddam’s death to be more than a little off-putting. Michelle Malkin had this observation:
Lots of readers are peeved by CNN’s memorial tribute to Saddam. Reader Roger writes, “Did Gerald Ford get this much respect on CNN’s home page?”
Answer: Yes. Almost...

I am sick to death of Oprah
I’m sick of both her and sick of her holier-and-wiser-than-thou schtick.
First off, I don’t know the woman, so I’m not going to call her by her first name. I’m calling to call her by her last name, which is standard Associated Press style. Oprah isn’t just her first name, it’s her brand name, and...

Media has a blonde moment
You know that “study” that showed blondes were dying out? It was fake. Let’s not blame the media though. Apparently, some news organizations tried to confirm it, but the organization that was cited as the source of the study didn’t bother trying to help.
ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said that “a...

It’s official: The Captain America movie is going to suck March 20, 2010justiceblogofamerica
Via Slashfilm:
Now there’s a slight update: according to IESB, the shortlist is now only three names: Chris Evans (Sunshine, The Fantastic Four); Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe, Stop-Loss) and Sebastian Stan (Gossip Girl). I’ve stumped for Evans before, but am a bit surprised that he’s still on the list, because of that Fantastic Four association. But that’s no big deal in the long run, as the Marvel Studios film universe has nothing to do with the Fox version of Marvel’s characters. (Confusing!) Evans is easily the best choice here.
Feh. We need a traditional square-jawed hero for this role, not some pretty boy. Evans is an X-games sorta guy. Cap is a baseball/football/track letterman kinda guy. And the FF movies sucked and that kinda stink don’t wash off.
