good lord, the cable news is SO WEIRD lately!! this is my news thread

trying and failing to find a list of exactly what the 13 points were in Nation of Ulysses 13-Point Program to Destroy America. that glenn beck only has 12 principles, so there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm96YypzyXI

dude did not get the memo about waiting until afternoon to pull something like this

nancy grace is truly the worst person on cable. worse than hannity, worse than greta, worse than tucker carlson, EVEN FUCKING WORSE THAN GERALDO. i mean, none of those people explicitly exploit dead children.

xxxxxxxxp

notice the title of the video! "Hardball with Chris Matthews 8112009 - How to Make A CIA Puppet Posing as A News Anchor Look Stupid"

description from the youtubes: We need more people like William on these shows to stand up against these NWO talking heads so that the world can see how much of a PSYOP (Psychological Operation) game the Mainstream Media is playing on our minds! This is a total win for the freedom loving, constitutional supporting good guys!

around 2:30 matthews starts really getting on his shit "why'd you bring a goddamn GUN to a presidential event?!!"

protestor: "who'd be silly enough to carry an unloaded firearm?"

nancy grace is truly the worst person on cable. worse than hannity, worse than greta, worse than tucker carlson, EVEN FUCKING WORSE THAN GERALDO. i mean, none of those people explicitly exploit dead children.

just dead soldiers

progressive insurance, proctor & gamble, geico, sargento, couple other companies have pulled their ads from glenn beck thanks to this campaign. i don't personally know how ad buys work or if stuff just gets moved around. still.

http://www.colorofchange.org/beck/

found out via oh no they didn't - political which is really my #1 source for newz. also the commenters brought it today:

HOW DO YOU LIKE THE FREE MARKET NOW, BECK?
HE'LL GET NEW ADS WITH HIS BOOTSTRAPS

sargento

as president of this famous cheese company, i decided that i could no longer support glenn beck's cable news program

xpost stop me if i've said this before, but there are some women who just have this look, you know it when you see it, that makes me think they secretly hunt, kill and devour small animals with their bare hands when nobody is looking. rodents, mostly. nancy grace is one of those women. kimberly guilfoyle, i suspect her as well.

test screenname: dario sargento

stop me if i've said this before

Wouldn't dream of stopping you.

UH

wow what a fucking piece of shit asshole

seriously, just a out & out piece of shit for doing that

urge to kill...rising...

that this shit plays in Peoria makes me so angry and sad all at once it actually wears me out.

sloooooow news day = live coverage of medal of freedom ceremony (don't worry, there is some CONTROVERSY and fox news is on the case!) followed by shep talking about college football again

people are all angry and PO'ed at ben cardin's town hall meeting & i thought, how is this happening in montgomery county? then remembered he's a senator now & of course ventured out to the western part of the state where scary and weird stuff might happen.

this guy's hair is amazing!

grover norquist wants you to know that obama will nationalize health care, destroy the health insurance industry, and deny your right to see a doctor, and every day obama has a bad day, the market will do better.

cavuto challenged this with a few pointed questions about.. oh, wait, he never does that

glenn beck has this person to explain you stuff about czars and heath care

http://i31.tinypic.com/2r2y6gn.jpg

idk

note the rightwing t-shirt saying "another typical white person"

scarbs and company try to figure out WTH beck is talking about yesterday, when beck drew this giant conspiracy tree that even his guests didn't understand and started going on about eugenics and the master race

I need the complete original show for this one to see the original context for Beck lines like this:

"the people underneath this in the root system, one is a communist, and they believe in forced abortions, legal rights for animals, and babies not human! (sarcasm) ok that doesn't sound too nuts to me'

i will investigate! don't get your hopes up as far as the context providing.. context

the shep is very excited about this news of nasa still not knowing about many asteroids and other things floating in space that may hit the earth and kill us all. be afraid!

which reminds me, the daily beast had some intern sit there and assemble all these clips of the report on apollo 40th anniversary getting kind of loopy

fox report pointing out that yes, there are some craaaaaaaaazy people out there

http://i31.tinypic.com/mavy52.jpg

o'reilly declares that the white house is after fox news, and advises that the best way for democrats and obama in particular to turn around public opinion is.. to appear on this show called the o'reilly factor

http://i26.tinypic.com/fz7zv6.jpg

so this is part of o'reilly's MO i guess, attack a person until you can get him/her on the show, because all s/he has to do to stop the attacks is to go on the show. ratings! also extortion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13_9KESJh1A

pretty amazing

he's taking his lead from Alex Jones' line of documentaries, which for a long time has been too fantastic for most people. Beck's trying to popularise it, but when he gabs his way through the main talking points, whatdoyouknow it STILL SOUNDS CRAZY

http://infowars-shop.stores.yahoo.net/endgamedvd.html

ok rented that Endgame documentary. Turns out to be about the Bilderbergs, speculation about their aims and the history of Eugenics. It's extremely well edited and hypnotic for something this paranoid, it's like a version of Craig Baldwin's 'Tribulation 99' made by people who actually mean what they're saying. Ending worth transcribing: (read in creepy voice w/ minor key orchestral music)

"And the Georgia Guidestones stand today as a testament to the Elite's sacred mission. To have a two class system, where the underclass are forced to live as slaves in tiny enclosed cities, while the elite enjoy the land of the earth, evolve into Superhumans with the aid of advanced implantable technologies, live eternal lives, and travel throughout the Cosmos. THIS is the promise given to the members of the new world order, and the agenda of the Bilderberg group."

ah, the bilderbergs. of course. substitute ACORN and "community organizers" in beck's case, which is code for "people of color"

god, fuck these people. this stopped being funny a long time ago and will result in the next american civil war. after obama's assasinated they'll all be against the wall as they all fully deserve to be, but it'll be too late for the rest of us by then.

i'm completely serious btw. some idiot redneck's going to blow obama away and his blood will be on the hands of everyone who's ever worked for fox news. when that happens this country will rip itself apart. do they not realize this? or maybe they do and just don't care? it makes me sad and angry, and i can't find this thread at all funny because of that.

oh man, their expressions as beck goes off are amazing

'why would the green people be doing this? may I make a connection and see if anyone goes with it? ... forced sterilizations, forced abortions, how many people in the green movement think that people are a virus? I think THAT'S a CONNECTION! ... Anybody?'

well, there are a lot of people who work at fox news. i don't hold everyone at the NYT accountable for judith miller's work re: iraq and WMDs. but yeah, i expect some anti-government extremists will do something somewhere. beck told his viewers v seriously a week or so ago that if there's another tim mcveigh type person that would ruin everything they were trying to build. now why would you tell your audience that, if you weren't getting indications that some of them might pop off?
Officials see rise in militia groups across U.S.

WASHINGTON – Militia groups with gripes against the government are regrouping across the country and could grow rapidly, according to an organization that tracks such trends.
The stress of a poor economy and a liberal administration led by a black president are among the causes for the recent rise, the report from the Southern Poverty Law Center says. Conspiracy theories about a secret Mexican plan to reclaim the Southwest are also growing amid the public debate about illegal immigration.
Bart McEntire, a special agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, told SPLC researchers that this is the most growth he's seen in more than a decade.
"All it's lacking is a spark," McEntire said in the report.

but then he turns around and talks about eugenics as though that's something that will actually fucking happen. it's hideously irresponsible, and if he tells his audience not to bomb or shoot anybody one day and then saying how obama's going to kill your grandmother the other four days of the days...well, which message is going to have a bigger impact?

high speed police chase in los angeles -> white male suspect in standoff -> fbi, secret service involved -> federal building evacuated

death panels -> "preposterous and absolutely false"

thank you shep.

this stuff is not news, and the "town hall" freakshows are manna from heaven for the do-littles.

saw your name next to this in the new answers and knew it was gonna be awesome!

just goes to show that you can get anything and I do mean anything in the "news" in august.

http://i27.tinypic.com/ff1n4w.jpg

haaa

yeah. it was something about mysterious "connections" between business leaders and the obama white house and how no one connected the dots on these connections and the giant web of CONSPIRACY going on here, that only glenn beck can explain you.

my thoughts are, the reason no one's connected the dots on there being connections between business leaders and politicians is DUH! NO SHIT, SHERLOCK

yeah, seriously. that they should say that after 8 years of bush/cheney is infuriating.

gah, now i remember why i don't watch this shit.

running joke on studio b/fox report where they pick up local news stories about bears, just so they can play this clip of a bear falling onto a trampoline again

and now you know the news!

san dimas bear pool news crawl rules

obama town hall in montana. let's applaud max baucus, for keeping health care negotiations secret from his fellow dems to the point where they were speculating in The Hill about whether to remove him from his chairmanship

looooooooool "give it up for jon tester!"

i like town hall policy wonk obama a lot more than grand, sweeping political speech obama

bill clinton was on point last night @ netroots nation keynote, saying look, the real danger is if we do *nothing* about health care. the status quo *is* the danger.

good stuff from obama here. somebody must've figured out that people actually pay attention when you talk about how insurance companies cancelling policies for preexisting conditions is a big problem.

NEWS ALERT:
OBAMA: MEDICARE IS A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM

state of the discussion does, indeed, make it necessary to tell people this. "the government can't run anything, and keep your hands off my medicare!"

re: some tax increases on those making 250K+ - "we gotta get over this notion that we can get something for nothing, because that's how we got into this massive debt in the first place"

obama OTM

taking a few more shots at "some of these cable shows" where people are yelling about how we can't afford this. bill o'reilly will be taking this personally, no doubt. be afraid!

cavuto hitting the point over and over alleging obama/dems have made insurance companies the 'new villain' and brings on dana perino first to attack obama, of course, and the poor insurance companies have gotten a bait-and-switch

has there ever been an occasion when cavuto had the opportunity to be critical of big business, and actually took it? like, ever?

journalism!

i really think neil cavuto is among the worst on fox, because he's allegedly a journalist doing a news show, and i'll be damned if he's ever spoken truth to power ONCE when the power in question was either big business or any conservative or republican.

he had some dem strategist on after perino and was all over his case, challenging everything and interrupting, but at the same time only coming at the guy with this vague 'i looked at the numbers and they don't add up, i checked my spreadsheet and was about to throw it out the window.' so you can't even refute him on facts, since he doesn't want to respond to specific facts, only refer to them in a vague way so he can continue to assert that obama's plan won't work.

i hate to cast aspersions like this, but come on. like cavuto really did serious homework himself, and isn't just working off talking points from whatever conservative organizations & gop communications staffers are sending his producers through the back channels.
