Here’s a talking head from the MSNBC cable entertainment channel trying to get some video interview content for his political show. The guy getting yelled at is apparently “Dylan Ratigan,” and his colleague is wearing a shirt from another MSNBC talk show, we guess? And this protester is going along with the interview until the [...]
Michael Steele was (barely) chosen as the Republican Party chairman a few years ago as a response to Barack Obama’s election to the presidency. Not a political response, so much as an image-y kind of thing. It’s hard to remember now, but the trend in 2008-2009 was all about tall, dark and handsome men. Especially [...]
Will the lamestream media throw our dawg a bone? “We’re talking to everybody and anyone who has an interest in talking,” he said when asked if he is in serious negotiations with any specific channel at this point. “You know, I have obviously a long relationship with Fox. And you know, I have friends at [...]
When your editor was in Japan last week, he was comforted by nuclear experts coming on the CNN International and informing their anchors they were wrong when they said the leaky reactors were going to turn everyone across the country and Pacific Ocean into Giga Pudding. But teevee judge/raging idiot Nancy Grace is not going [...]
Hooray, Gabrielle Giffords has put down the elitist hospital iPad and starting to act like a Real America: She sat in bed and watched teevee. “Last night or the night before she watched television — it was CNN in fact — and the fact that she was able to do that for about an hour, [...]
Science has finally proven what was always totally obvious: People who get their news from Fox News are the stupidest fucking idiots to ever exist. These cretins have literally no idea what’s going on, with anything. Whether it’s believing that Republicans opposed TARP (it was a big business Republican program created by the Republican administration [...]
Wait, why did they give this guy a show? Oh, never mind. [YouTube]
Keith Olbermann is just the sort of guy who would break a network rule against making campaign contributions, and he’s also the sort of guy who would refuse to go on air to apologize to his viewers for such a thing, and apparently this is why his primetime MSNBC show is now an hour-long presentation [...]
MSNBC’s 6 pm host Ed Schultz and his dumb, boring show have never really seemed to fit the cable news network, and today he finds himself in the New York Post for going crazy at MSNBC headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Center a couple weeks back. This story is made all the better by the fact [...]
It turns out that America’s News Network, Fox News, is not really watched at all by black people, which explains why they are so misinformed that they support this Obama fellow. This “finding” is according to some sort of math or science stuff, however, so it is probably a lie (and also Jesus has provided [...]
The New York Times has some very disturbing news to report from the changing Pakistani media landscape: apparently there were only a couple of news channels in the past, but then, after Musharraf “liberalized” the media — HMM? — during his term, there are now more than 20 news channels, around the clock, and they [...]
AS FINANCIAL WORLD COLLAPSES, AT LEAST WE’VE GOT MARGARET BRENNAN TO TELL US ABOUT IT: Your editor has a really hard time watching any cable news at all, ever, as you may have heard once or twice. So it is a Great Relief that Bloomberg has a teevee news channel we can monitor in the [...]
