Media Coverage: The Tea Party Vs. Wall Street...
Left-wing protesters have occupied Wall St for about two weeks. There have been 1,000+ arrests, shutting down of bridges, an assault on a police officer, calls for violence by liberal celebrities such as Roseanne and Michael Moore and Van Jones….and other leftists like Russell Simmons and Susan Sarandon have lent their support. The very small band of radicals have cost NYC revenue and reputation....

Fuzzy Math
Today, Obama declared open class warfare upon evil millionaires and billionaires. But let’s see what we get for squeezing the successful a little bit more:
The core of the Obama’s plan totals just more than $2 trillion in deficit reduction over 10 years [new revenue + mandatory spending cuts]
Plan calls for a total of $4 trillion in deficit reduction (by adding about $1 trillion in...

Olbermann in freefall... again. And what is the...
The ratings are in! And it is not a pretty picture at Al Gore’s Current TV. What they surely had predicted to be a ratings landslide is nothing more than the adding a few people to an already hopeless enterprise. Sure, Olbermann has ten times the ratings than what Current used to get at 8:00pm. BUT let’s consider that they used to have a little over ten thousand people watching....

Why CNN just doesn’t get it?
By Todd Greenberg
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. We are almost six months into CNN’s primetime experiments and it’s becoming painfully clear that no one at the cable news pioneer’s headquarters know what they’re doing.
Sure we put up with Larry King wasting important air time by spending an hour interviewing low level celebrities about nothing… he was Larry King. The man has been in...

WatchOLBERMANN FASHION STATEMENT
Thank you to my friends Todd and Clem for shooting this little video of Olbermann waddling around Yankee Stadium over the weekend.
What is he wearing?! Is that a duster or a lab coat or maybe a butcher’s smock?
When is the last time you saw one of those - other than the bad guys in Pale Rider? And what does he have ...

New Tone to Political Rhetoric: Lawmakers Get...
When President Obama, The New York Times, MSNBC, Sheriff Dupnik and many, many others called for a change in the tone of political discourse, who knew it was actually a call to ramp up the violent imagery, thuggery, and now, even vile threats?
The Wisconsin protests have been chock full of comparisons of Republicans to the worst elements in history, threats to reporters and counter-protesters,...
Harry Reid Loves Cowboy Poets
Politico reports:
In the middle of his tirade against House Republicans’ “mean-spirited” budget bill on the Senate floor Tuesday, the Senate Majority Leader lamented that the GOP’s proposed budget cuts would eliminate the annual “cowboy poetry festival” in his home state of Nevada… For the record, the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering is in Elko, Nev., next...

Piers Morgan Tonight and why it doesn’t work
Once again we turn our good friend Todd Greenberg for a review of CNN’s latest attempt to rise from the ashes:
It’s been over a week and a half since CNN debuted its new 9p.m. talent Piers Morgan to replace legendary broadcaster, serial spouse, and resident ‘Crypt Keeper’ Larry King.
I wanted to review it last week but felt I needed to give the show a chance by...
DAY TWO - KEITH AGREES WITH BARNEY FRANK - IRAQ...
Keith had one of the chief architects of the America’s recession on the show last night - Rep. Barney “Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not facing any kind of financial crisis” Frank. Frank is not only a financial whiz, but also apparently a student of history:
FRANK: That is appalling. And, by the way, we have two wars going on. I wish we didn`t. I voted against the war in Iraq,...
A MESSAGE TO COMCAST
As a service to Keith Olbermann’s incoming bosses at Comcast, we thought it was a good idea to remind them a little about the character of their new employee. Now, we’re not going to get into all the past allegations (stalking, boorishness, etc.) or even all of the hateful things he has said about Republican politicians (including a sitting president) and sexist, unforgivable...

Countdown to the End
Well, well, well, another messy battle between Keith Olbermann and the brass at MSNBC. Bill Zwecker at the “Chicago Sun-Times reports:”

Up Until 7:30pm on Tuesday, Nobody at MSNBC Knew...
If you read this blog, you know that our sources inside NBC have been very good at providing context and background to the always entertaining Keith Olbermann saga. And this latest news makes perfect sense as we observe the overall narrative of the self-absorbed, self-destructive, troubled TV personality.
Here’s what we’ve been told:
The stand-off between Keith and MSNBC execs lasted...

Liberal Lynch Mob Finally Gets Juan Williams
NPR has been looking to unload Juan Williams for a long time. They will tolerate only one way of thinking- only the furthest-left, ultra-politically-correct dogma. Like Pravda during the old Soviet Union, you either toe the line or end up in a gulag. Since there are no gulags in the United States… yet, NPR will have to settle for a contract termination. But make no mistake, if they had their way,...
OLBERMANN'S BIGOTRY PROBLEM
Recently, hit-and-run driver Rick Sanchez was let go from CNN in part because he called Jon Stewart a “bigot.” Sadly, this is tactic that is more common than ever, as playing the race card has become the last refuge of the president’s die-hard supporters. Quite frankly, it is all they have left. And playing that particular card is as low as it gets. It is a smear that sometimes...
The Review is in: Parker Spitzer is painful
May not be the chief TV critic for the Washington Post or The Wall Street Journal - just my friend Todd Greenberg. I thought it was entertaining enough to post (and right on target!):
They open up with smooth jazz. Oh yeah. This is going to be fun. Parker says they’re not going be partisan, they’re going to do something “different.”. Parker can barely...
Time magazine is practically irrelevant. The only reason it is still around at all is because it bares the name of the parent company. So, they continue to prop up this long dead publication. Anything published in that rag is usually not even worth commenting on. Like the tree falling in forest, Time has no audience. None. When is the last time, anyone said to you, “Did...

Keith Who? Rachel Who?
Comcast execs - pay attention. The biggest problem for your MSNBC primetime line-up may not be the arrogance, ignorance, or depravity of your hosts. To be sure, few folks wouldn’t get nauseous watching an accused stalker sneering at a former president while barking “How dare you!” out of the comical fake tan of his bloated face. But in order to do that, you’d have to know...

Gore Inspired Squirrelly Terrorist: A Real Nut
Maybe the media is right. All the political vitriol, all the hate out there is spawning crazies capable of anything. We all need to stand together and send a message of unity and tell provocateurs like Al Gore to tamp down the rhetoric.
Discovery Channel terrorist James Jay Lee wants to save the earth - specifically he wants to save “The Lions, Tigers, Giraffes, Elephants, Froggies,...

THE VICTORY MOSQUE
This monstrosity was first called what it is - a mosque. But then people started asking questions: Who is this so-called “moderate” Imam? Who is paying for the project? Is it appropriate to even build it so close to the site where so many were slaughtered by Islamic fanatics? Then the language slowly started to change. The mosque became a “cultural center.” Who could oppose...
Sanity Returns to Sunday Night! NBC Sports Becomes...
As I’m sure most of you know by now, it is being reported that The Stalker has been jettisoned from NBC’s Sunday night football broadcast. Ground zero seems to be the sports blog, Sports by Brooks. We also made a few phone calls today, and the story seems to be solid.
Word has it that Keith’s chief enabler, ratings-slayer Jeff Zucker, is already reporting to Comcast bosses. With...
Allah to cast a shadow over Ground Zero?
Opposition to the Ground Zero mosque has moved beyond just conservatives like Gingrich and Palin. The Anti-Defamation League is now opposed, saying that “the building of an Islamic Center at this location is counterproductive to the healing process.” The ADL says “this is not a question of rights, but what is right” and that it “will cause some victims more...

“The dance with staffers is a perilous one. You’re probably not going to get much, if any, one-on-one time with the candidate, which means your sources of information are the people who work for him. So you pretend to be friendly and nonthreatening, and over time you “build trust,” which everybody involved knows is an illusion. If the time comes, if your editor calls for it, you’re supposed to...
Olbermann's Schill at the New York Times
Brian Stelter, the pudgy New York Times media reporter can’t hide his love for MSNBC. Even when ostensibly writing yesterday about a new contract for Greta Van Susteren over at Fox News, he quickly turns it into yet another fawning piece on The Stalker and the much anticipated (I’m sure!) rise of Larry O’Donnell to host at 10pm. I guess Larry will somehow add to the ratings...
Keith "Sheikh Mohammed" Olbermann Spits in the...
On June 8, Keith did a truly despicable thing. As part of his hapless, petty war on Fox News, a war he has completely and utterly lost - check out the latest ratings news, the Stalker uses a Ground Zero controversy to attack Rupert Murdoch:
…our winner: Rupert Murdoch. His “New York Post” has been beating the drum of race hatred here in New York. A columnist...

Let the dominoes begin to fall!
The New York Post is reporting what we were already told by our usually reliable sources inside NBC:

What exactly is VoteVets? We’ve seen them lurking around MSNBC and various anti-war organizations ostensibly to support our fighting men and women. The veneer wore off quickly as we all realized this was just another anti-Bush group - this one under the guise of military veterans. They have even admitted to taking money from the Democracy Alliance - the Doctor Evil-esque, far-left funding...
Playing Politics With Mine Tragedy Already?
As heard on Rush Limbaugh today! (listen for the Jed plug!)
Apparently, the left will stoop to any level - any at all - in order to make a cheap political point. With the horrible accident ongoing and the fates of some miners still not known, the propagandists have already begun linking the West Virginia mining disaster to Tea Parties, global warming, and capitalism. Oh, and remember when...

Why So Silent, Mr. President?
President Obama and his allies won the political battle on health care but lost the debate on substance. And instead of fighting on the merits and trying to convince the American people of their brilliance, the left wing is dealing from the bottom of the deck and playing their political trump card - by calling critics racist (with scant evidence). But for some reason, one man has been eerily...
Grief leave?! And Keith scores lower than Larry...
Before embarking on his latest diatribe - this time trumpeting the dubious claims of racial slurs at Sunday’s anti-Obamacare Tea Party in DC - the stalker took to his blog over at the Daily Kos. What was most interesting wasn’t the usual nonsense about hate-mongering Republicans (Yes, he even told someone to resign again - this time Rep. Devin Nunes), but the way described his return...
There is still time...
Please go here right away and have your voice heard by the few politicians left likely waiting for their deal to come through from the White House:
Doctors Panic Over Health Care Reform - Say They...
This could be the most alarming story yet to come out of the health care debate.
Forget about all the inane squabbling on Capitol Hill. Forget what the polls say. Forget the Tea Party rallies, the town hall meetings, the strong-arm tactics of MoveOn and the SEIU, the debunked sob stories… For a moment, let’s just look at what physicians say they will do if Obamacare becomes a...
OLBERMANN ALIENATES EVEN MORE PEOPLE
Keith Olbermann will not host his own show, but has taken time from taking care of his father for a little blog war.
Now, why would an already-imploding blowhard pick an immature fight with a popular young sports columnist? Nobody wants try to get inside the head of the increasingly unstable Keith, but going after Bill Simmons seems like another sign that his fragile emotional state is nearing...
Dem Conspiracy to Replace Pelosi?
There may be nothing to this, but thought it was worth imparting. We spoke today to a highly-placed Democrat who thinks there might be a plot to, at the very least, show Nancy Pelosi that she is still a mere mortal. The speaker has been up and down the Hill threatening Democrats that they better stay in line on Obamacare or else lose their chairmanships, party support in upcoming elections,...
Real Damage to NBC
Sources within NBC News have confirmed that things are more dire than we originally thought. Veteran correspondents are cringing and are openly embarrassed by Olbermann’s self-absorbed theatrics.
Please keep in mind that nobody - nobody at all - is saying that Keith may not actually be concerned for his father or that there is not a genuine health issue. However, some are suggesting that...

Chaos at MSNBC
While the Olympics continue in Vancouver, we’re hearing that things continue to fall apart at “The Place for Politics.” Despite having Olympic lead-ins to their prime-time line-up, ratings continue to be abysmal. Keith the Stalker has not been able to get out of his ratings slump for almost a year, and his bizarre personal behavior has begun to worry some NBC execs. Nobody knows...
Real Change You Can Believe In
President Obama told us that there was a new sheriff in town - that the days of buying votes were over. Didn’t last long…
Just look at the most recent incarnation of health care “reform.” We all knew about the bribes to Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson, but now, Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) has put out a more complete list of just how much change has been going on:

Finally a sign of life from MSNBC
MSNBC finally has some ratings! And how did they do it? Not with their usual roster of bitter, mostly-incoherent malcontents and stalkers, but with good ole American pride in the Olympic team. Last week, the USA-Canada match-up was the most watched item on all of cable television.
So, for the very first time the America-bashing network has anything remotely pro-American on it, people finally...
Olbermann getting testy!
Last night MSNBC’s deplorable clown prince responded to all the unusually accurate reporting on his stunning ratings decline. Yesterday, you had Jeff Bercovici’s piece over at AOL followed by another great piece in The Los Angeles Times: Countdown begins for end of Keith Olbermann’s ‘Countdown’?:
Remember Keith Olbermann? He was the one-time must-see anti-Bush...
Olbermann in Freefall
I could not believe my eyes. A member of the American media has broken ranks and is reporting the truth about MSNBC’s prime-time clown. After years and years of glowing tributes and softball profiles, someone has dared to tell the real story of what has happened to Keith’s “ratings juggernaut.”
Apparently, the tingle down the leg has subsided for at least one television...

Neofascists demand CBS silence their opposition
If it was not perfectly clear already, the strategy and agenda of the so-called pro-choice crowd is on full display with the furor over the Focus on the Family / Tim Tebow controversy.
Background: CBS has approved the script for a 30 second ad to aired to be aired during the Super Bowl on February 7. The ad is produced by Focus on the Family, an admittedly pro-life, anti-gay marriage...
