The Unfortunate Return Of Yellow Journalism...[Part 1]

OMG There is yellow journalism

YELLOW JOURNALISM
Via BalloonJuice

One of the classic examples of groupthink Janis refers to is the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Keep this list in mind when you watch the video, particularly the response from Rove, Bartlett and others to McClellan’s book. Probably something folks like me should also keep in mind when discussing the Clinton campaign.

From IamTRex

The shit is blowing wide open and as citizens of Lefty Blogistan, I would like to congratulate each and every one of you for Being Right All Along. Probably nobody in the corporate media is going to do that, so everybody, all together now.

1. Raise your arm.
2. Bend your elbow.
3. Pat yourself on the back.
Now, smile, because that’s probably all you’re getting.
This is the difference between the conspiracies that the Right sees and the ones we write about. Ours are real.

Karl Rove was on H&C and says he’s irresponsible in his behavior and compliments Scotty by saying he sounds like a left wing blogger. Thanks Karl, that’s quite a compliment. You see, truth and honesty are now associated to left wing blogs and lying, distorting and Stepford like behavior is now what Conservative Republicans represent.

And ME

Torture President and Company

Via Crooks and Liars

Jon Stewart takes the administration to task for, well, there’s no delicate way to put this, deciding the intimate details of how we would torture people. It pains me to type those words.

Abuse in Iraqi Jails

Via - OOIBC
"Unbelievable" Abuse Reigns in Iraqi Jails

While Bush and his media toadies tout Anbar province as a "success" story for the "surge" and his predatory Iraq occupation in general, the conditions in the city jail speak a far different reality: of an inept, corrupt satrapy of a government, whose imperial masters flatter and support. Leave the jails with starving prisoners, says the "democratic" coalition. "Let them solve their own problems," announce the haughty leaders of the "free" world. In the degenerated world of modern America, freedom means, of course, freedom to starve.

Not War mongering - Economy bad over Building of houses

Bush Family Tactics

The economy is in bad shape only because we built a few to many houses, nothing at all to do with "the Bush War", or excessive tax breaks for the rich.

Damn You Housing Builders

Democrats Suck too

Established politicians do NOT have to be republican to be in the pockets of big business.


Democrats: Colleges must police copyright, or else

The U.S. House of Representatives bill (PDF), which was introduced late Friday by top Democratic politicians, could give the movie and music industries a new revenue stream by pressuring schools into signing up for monthly subscription services such as Ruckus and Napster.

Yellow Journal-What? -Katie Couric or Matlin McCarthy

Ventriloquist dummy Couric-Bush Spouts GOP crap and questions Plame not the government or its motives.


Crooks And Liars

But the second segment is where Couric goes off the rails and shows her flair for White House talking points. It’s almost as if she implies that Plame Wilson should have expected the White House to out her because the work she did touched on the question that sent her husband, Amb. Joseph Wilson, to Niger.

COURIC: You never for a moment thought this could potentially jeopardize my career?

ALSO

FDLs Christy

Of course, for the crazed wingnuts among us, the CIA’s totting up of her NOC credentials won’t mean a thing. For the 80 percent of the country that isn’t loony, it is yet more proof that the Bush Administration has a host of problems, one of which is a treasonous act against our national security. You choose.

Details You Give Vs Details You Know

From Schneier on Security -
Then, I received this anonymous e-mail:

I was one of the industry technical folks the DHS consulted in developing the "immediate and required" mitigation strategies for this problem......

......
By the way, the vulnerability they hypothesize is completely bogus but I won't say more about the details. Gitmo is still too hot for me this time of year.

Even someone ( I assume an American citizen )that let BushCo use there name for propaganda - fears his own governments reprisals for truth revealing.

I dont care to believe what they say.
Its what they know but will not say that matters.

Today Condi Rice met with A congressman in a school to PLUG and SELL the presidents
- No Child Left Behind - plan

NO News about Rices refusal to see a congressman to answer questions about the state department.

Timmy says - Chaney-Bush... I Mean I Pick what to investigate

New government shill - mister GOP talking points - Matt Lauer discussing the democratic debates with old government shill - Doctor GOP talking points - Timmy Russet ( Plame whos plame ).

Lauer comments about the questioning of detail in the Clinton health plan. Timmy says - we have to follow up on what these candidates say, and investigate the truth Matt.


So a major media head does NOT care about the truth in Iraq or , the tainted justice department or what a filibuster is , but will go out of his way to question a NON-Republican piece of news.

The Pussy Perino-Bush Tour

Oh , What a surprise Bush gets interviewed by his requested talking head.

A money quote from the Froomkin WP story -

"Perino said she called Williams with the offer Saturday. . . . 'The president has talked with Juan before and we know him well. He's active in trying to keep good relations with us. . . . We could have done a print interview, but I felt I wanted people to hear the president's voice.'

Notice , she did not say - We contacted NPR to set up an interview, Its we called - JUAN - with an offer.

Its like a Bush-GOP coupon - Feed bush the questions we give you to ask and we will say bad things about the other networks and let you print and spew our propaganda first.

Rupert Murdoch, you put Hurst's days of yellow journalism to shame.

Bush Claims every word his critics say Harm the troops.

The troops are just so busy listening to the news and CSPAN , hanging around Iraq lookin for stuff to do. RIGHT

Most read letters from home and play cards in their off time i would bet.

I would think a non supportive GOP Congressman ( You dont need to stinking rest ) or VETO Handed President ( Too much support for returning vets will make them angry - let them stay sick ) and a general that would lie about body counts makes much worse troop moral.
