Re: "Bold Fresh: Pasadena": Now, that was a nice review.
Re: "Hot & Not": Nothing will be done about Lawrence O'Donnell. MSNBC is, after all, the Olbermann Broadcasting Empire world domination network. So, if MSNBC won't rein in Keith, they won't rein in Larry. Sorry. (I would have written something like this at ICN, but the far-left ideologues over there would pounce on me instantly.)

One of the ICN commenters made an excellent point. Olby's phony excuse for never having on opposing points of view is that he doesn't like 'screaming matches'. Then he has Larry O'Donnell on to tell him what a great job he did screaming on Morning Joe!

'“Some like to joke that every time Fox puts them on TV, they are making a de facto in-kind contribution to their future campaigns,” said another television news executive who requested anonymity because he was not authorized by his network to comment on Fox.'
In an article that shows this phonomenon to be across the board among the networks, why would this comment by an ANONYMOUS news executive (and competitor to FNC) be included?
What was the purpose of this?...

Johnny....you obviously get upset with some comments posted on lets just say centre/left sites and you write copiously about them. But wouldn't it help you argument if you also went after sites on the Right....I know O'reilly says this doesn't happen on the Right..but I think we both know that's not true....Take Fox Nation for starters. If you need info on outrageous post from that site just drop me a line...maybe we could work together to help clean-up the swamp know as Fox Nation.

When I start my Fox Lovers Week in Review series I'll definitely keep your suggestion in mind.

Johnny..you obviously haven't grasped what I was talking about....It's not about Fox lovers....it's about outrageous post....you can't simply be outraged at one side...and then totally ignore the same thing from the other side...That just leads to the charge of hypocrisy being levelled . You should grasp the FNC slogan with both hand and be "fair and balanced" on this important subject.

<i>I know O'reilly says this doesn't happen on the Right..</i>
That's a lie.
He says it DOES happen on right-wing sites... but that there are less of them, and they tend to be less ferocious. On both those points, he's correct.
But as to your original statement... that's a lie.

Your simply taking my comment out of context....I'm talking about objectionable comments....Johnny only brings up these comments from the left and never the right.
You've using a classic FNC tactic here.....quote part of what someone says and then hope like crazy they don't read the original.

****WARNING TO ALL RIGHT WINGERS***
What ever you do don't go to college....It'll turn liberal!!!

Tucker Carlson doesn't know the methodology of how the study was carried out...but yet bables on without knowing this simple fact.
Clayton Morris then wants to know how you fix this....Obviously he'd prefer colleges that turn you Conservative.
I'm assuming a number here went to college....So what went wrong?

Hope everyone realizes that this is the internet operative's well-known tactic of trying to distract you from the content the blog owner is providing.
We've seen it done by Haggis here many times and it was done by internet operatives at Olbermann Watch about a google-woogle-kazillion times.

'What ever you do don't go to college....It'll turn liberal!!! '
Aha. So if a right winger goes to college his very being there will cause the college to become liberal. Looks like Haggis is an elephant's trunk again. This from the same personage who is so pedantic that he insists that a poster have every t crossed and i dotted when making a quick comment on a website. If someone Fails to put a comma in right place, he will never hear the end of it. Hagy-boy really should sober up . . . before he says something even more stupid!!!

Sorry Danny I don't mean to be pedantic....but its not "an elephant's trunk" its "is elephant's trunk" and I'm not.
The great comma debacle was me simply pulling Ashley chain....why your blowing it up into something it wasn't...I don't know.
Cecelia....my college post was about cable....it aired on F&F...I thought that came under cable news....well I personally wouldn't call F&F cable news...maybe cable propaganda would be a better way to describe them.

Sorry Haggis, but you are like the boy who cried wolf. You have lied so many times . . . used deceit so many times . . . activated so many sockpuppets and false IDs . . . that I now don't believe anything you say. Since you say that you are not drunk, that must certainly mean that you are.

When she first started, about 1 1/2 years ago, I think Johnny used to title his links to her writeups using "another", "one more" and such. they were coming so fast and furious.
I agree that she is over rated. But that is understandable b/c she follows Fat Ed then Tweety and is ultimately sandwiched between KO and his repeat.
Given a choice I can understand why so many choose to write about her instead.

Wow Haggis, is that clip O'Reilly just showed typical of Scottish television? No wonder you invested in an electric satellite dish!
