The stupidity bleeds over from the ignorant Heinous Hound Hens to their little poodles.
 
Now Fox Noise is sanctioning the murder of U.S. military personnel by foreign terrorists. What sort of wingnut news organization is this?

Yep, this intellectual midget actually posted this idiocy. Par for the course.

Well, there's that Greta, courting an interview from yet another roughed-up lady pol who has, at one or another, taken friendly advice from Greta's old man.
 
How many journalism ethicists will come running out of the woodwork, this time...

Johnny, this isn't your content, and it's your call, but when watching the video at the Chickaboom piece you link, I came across this, which I hadn't seen.
 
It's your video of Ed Schultz walking off the F&F in '08.
 
If I missed it, someone else probably did too and it's a must see!
 
I had no ideal that Ed is such a big sissy!

Call me crazy... but in previewing the interviews, I could have sworn I heard Sec. Clinton say what the two journalists in N. Korea did was "wrong."
 
As I recall... they proclaimed their innocence, and evidence was "suspect" at best. So now Clinton is out there acknoweldging or agreeing with their "guilt." Is that a good thing?
 
IMO, that will be the bit of interest that comes out of this interview (not that BS that TVN suggests is about Chelsea's "wedding."

chris,
 
I think Gretchen nailed it when she said that Ed did it for youtube.
 
It's been a tactic of Dem pols and operatives to appear on FNC in order to toss a bone to the nutroot kiddies (by insulting the channel) for some time now.

Schuster is a goof. The "Crickets" sound effects has been used for decades on radio.

Angry Rich, it's always a pleasure to hear your work on John Gibson's show. Keep up the good work.
Re: "Friday's numbers: FNC's Cronkite tops": Take that, CNN.

Ed Schultz and Rush Limbaugh might be able to borrow each others clothes, but that's the only thing they have in common.
 
Rush is several dozen IQ points smarter than "Big Ed".

If it's happening anywhere, it's news to Shuster.
