Is Katy Abram A Great American Or A Liar?
Reported by Priscilla - August 17, 2009 - 24 comments
Who better than Julie to write a post about lying.
Of course much of what she post is more distortion from the Henious Hounds of Hens.
Just one example.....she claims because Mrs. Abrams used the plural of the word "call"(that would be "calls" for you union members) she is a liar.
She made a mistake. That's all it was. Nothing more.
Just more smear from the Puppies and their racist Poodles.

OOPS!! It was Priscilla who actually posted the Abrams story.
I wouldn't want to credit the wrong liar.

Re: Wag bags
Now there's one rhyme with "bags" that our enlightened liberal male peers at OW never used to insult women who disagreed with them.
Oh, well. "W" is pretty far down in the alphabet and it's likely that they didn't know it was more than a Bush nickname.
(I appreciate the sacrifices of our soldiers.)

"Launched in 2000, RFD is reportedly already available in some 30 million American homes, about 10 million fewer homes than HBO."
Is that what selter calls a "little known rural tv channel?" 30 million is an 07 number. By brian stelter's standards "countdown" wouldn't even be a blip on the radar! :lol:

OH MY! I've been over there a few times defending the NHs just to get banned everytime. Dollar doesn't like to be proven wrong. It hurts his litte pudgy face.

John t continues to lie. He isn't banned. He made a charge about this site that was false. He has refused to back up what he said or to admit he's wrong. If he did one or the other he would be welcome back. He's not banned. He locked himself out. He has the key, but can't bring himself to use it.

Fox News: News For White People
Reported by Ellen - August 17, 2009 - 5 comments
One wonders if the News Hounds consider themselves for "White People Only" given their propensity to attack and smear people of color(not to mention women) on Fox News.
Of course this lie they spread goes to show that if you repeat something long enough, ignorant liberals will believe it to be true.

OH, looky here folks.
Thanks for the support. I really appreciate it more than I can say. But could we let this thread die? I don't think the jerk deserves the attention.

Another hateful J$ thread bites the dust.
I wonder why?
I'm guessing getting called out on lies and distortions pretty much says it all.

That "Why Fox prospers" segment should be required reading for the News Poodles.
I'm sure they will love the Eric B urns quote. "Fox has it made for 4 years"

I propose we return back to calling them the News Bassets rather than news poodles.
In a recent ranking, Poodles were ranked the #2 smartest dog while Bassets were ranked towards the bottom.
But since most Basset Hounds are actually smarter than most Newshounds, we're therefore complimenting the newshounds by comparing them life form with superior thinking abilities than themselves. Thank you's from the kennel would be appreciated.

Re: FNC tops rivals combined
This NH comment has been burning a hole in my copy cache for 7 months. I think it's time to paste it:
"by the summer fox news will be some backwater cable channel without any access to the White House except for some guy with a microphoe yelling questions from a bush at Lafayette Park."-Yeah So What | 01.19.09 - 8:19 pm | #
NOT SO MUCH!
It was the 4th night in a row that Fox News beat all its competitors (CNN, MSNBC HLN and CNBC) combined in total viewers during prime time. It also beat the four networks combined in total viewers during the total day period on Friday.

Listen carefully to what Beck says 3mins 20secs into this video....He makes President Obama's point beautifully. Cut off your nose to spite your face...springs to mind.

Oops!!!...Beck has now lost Walmart....That around 20 advertisers that now don't like the cut of his jib and rightly so.
"Walmart today confirmed the retailer pulled ads from the Glenn Beck show on August 3rd,"

Haggis, are you saying that Beck's support of Obama's health care caused Walmart to drop his advertising support? Very interesting...I always knew Walmart was a right-wing corporation! :lol:

The News Poodles are all a twitter over the Beck/advertiser thing. I don't think they realize the money is just being moved around on Fox.
Although, I do believe this will probably get Beck to tone it down a bit.
But he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
Olbermann will be gone before Beck.

Haggis, when FNC dumps Beck then you can crow. Now, it is obvious these advertisers, by only SHIFTING their blocks to other FNC shows, are simply waiting for the crazed nutroots to calm down and see the e-mails/letters lessen. I predict in about 6 months we will quitely see these same advertisers make the wise financial decision to return to Beck's show simply because he gets such great numbers (and growing). The boycott is only successful if Beck is gone, or he starts talking the Obama line....wanna bet neither happens?

Shall we have a moment of silence for the days when such treatment by corporations and political partisans heralded a new age of "censorship", the reoeal of the First Amendment and a burgeoning Bush-Cheney Jihad?
Yes, let's all bow our heads and hark back to the age when Bill Maher, the Dixie Chicks, and even poor Rosie O'Donnell were all liberal martyrs, punished for expressing a personal political opinion.
Not coincidentally...that time of liberal outrage against such attacks on "free speech" seems to have been as short-lived as any other of their uncompromising principles...
