Breitbart Lives!


Not exactly the Starting Point, but Soledad O'Brien "clashes" with Big Journalism** Editor-in-Chief over "critical race theory" and a with-held video.
It almost seems that CNN* is a wannabe FOX or MSNBC.
It is more than swift iron knee that FOX has any concern for material being with-held.

* not to single out or be overly critical of CNN or Soledad O'Brien, but they do seem to be competing for "fair and balanced" between the other two "news" networks. FOX is the veritable "you started it" network. The media was too liberal so they had to have a "fair and balanced" take on their reality. Making room for MSNBC as a counter force. CNN has the real challenge trying not to be either, but still news or journalism in a market environment.

Big Journalism?

Did someone have second thoughts?
Or is it a bread crumb of the trickle-down.
i.e. "conspiracy".
(I mean as of this comment, Error 404 - Not Found.)
Keeping in mind it is a news feed I have not been used to, it may be common to have these retractions. But it is probably appropriate to rethink Rush, let alone any humor over any death. It just may be an odd* wake in the everafter.]

Rest in Peace: Andrew Breitbart


It is with no schadenfreude that
I note the "passing" of Andrew Breitbart.
Nor to stay the course.

News Feed:

He probably did change the face of journalism.



I am not sure how that works, but the above image*** was linked to the "face" link.
Yesterday, David Bender interviewed former Senator Alan Simpson, who really tore into Rick Santorum and the Stephenie Miller Show. I hope** that was not what put the "Journalist"* over the top. I regret putting any meaning into what were hopefully "natural causes", not that they are any better than the best intentions sometimes. His dreams or nightmares will live on.

*3-2-12 BS added...(i.e. blog search)
** and asterisks: I hope "hope" is not a humor. "I'm just" reporting. (A wisecrack on sayings.)
*** apparently it may be how "Google" can work for some.(note image replaced below)
4A: not to pun on a death but there are categories of writing and communicating. Why do you think they have wakes?^^

3-2-12(continued): In fact I think I will take it back a notch.
See "face" change. The original "Google"^.



Note: Face moved and replaced.
(see "image"*** switch)
RIP: Respect in Place (Face adjustment)

^^ link added post post
[3-8-12 Update: It certainly was my first reaction that Breitbart died of Righteous Indignation, but not in so many words. I did not even know he wrote the book, that I know of. But it could have slipped through my safety net.]

Throwing the Game

or Tetrahedron.

Or should we call it die with less perspective?

Bottom line? I mean, who am I to advise the GOP, but the Pizza Guy may just be the best thing for the country. Not that I would go that far, but if he makes it to nominee, I mean, it just might be good for the national debate. At least he will have one up on the MBA president, if not the constitutional law and community organizer president. I mean just what business is the country in? Let alone what it means to grow the pie.

The other lines? Well I will work on them later, but there may be something to Jon Stewart's point, if not baiting photobombers. I don't want to run the table, but I guess that is another table.


[Post-Ribble or Meta-4:
the above was written without the benefit of having followed much ofor many of the links. It was based simply on the point that we have an executive of Godfather's Pizza running for president, and it might be good for the debate. That and the pun on dice(plural) or the lesser perspectives/dimentions of the tetrahedron. But I will now add that I will also contrast in a less dimensional way, Andrew Breitbart and Jon Stewart, they only hinge on the 1st amendment. In that regard I clicked on a link at the latter's and note the "freedom of speech" and the rest of I.T.

Bocephus had a point, even though he was wrong about almost everything else. There is something strange, to say the least about Boehner and Obama playing golf, while some fiddle.

What are the odds? (I can't find where I buried the original ref: but I guess that means that Netanyahu not only might have played golf with Hitler, but he would pin a badge on him. I guess that leaves me off the Picard(cunnard) upon which Brietbart has hoisted himself.) It is not uncommon for me to lose links, but what are the odds the last thing in my email is on Cain.]

[10-6-11 update: Hank Williams Jr.-No Dylan - I agree with Hank Williams Jr. in his apology "The thought of the Leaders of both Parties Jukin and High Fiven on a Golf course, while so many Families are Struggling to get by simply made me Boil over and make a Dumb statement and I am very Sorry if it Offended anyone. I would like to Thank all my supporters. This was Not written by some Publicist." But I beg to differ on the move to get money out of politics. [The devil is in the details, and what is left out. I think the petition is flawed. While I support the intent and wish it well, what will it be replaced with? What influence will the media then have in filtering the debate? What influence will corporations then have in crafting any messages? Get money out of the news! Get money out of "free speech"! If you catch my drift.] HW Jr. used a disgusting analogy, but Dylan Ratigan's petition just falls short of being comprehensive.]
[If wishes were fishes...we'd be fed up. Bain or cut bait, and candy and nuts.]

Who got the memo?

Who reads the script?
LO and behold, I am See Sic again.
The memo, the apology,
and The View?
Apparently FOX has acknowledged some mistakes in the Shirley Sherrod ordeal, while Beck apparently is not too up with FOX*, and Lawrence O'Donnell of Countdown still can't see**. At least when it comes to why Obama appeared on the view.

* the Dean disconnect
[links in progress***]
** link added 7-30-10 Don't get me wrong, no one on MSNBC is anywhere near, a Beck, O'Reilly or any FOX character. Even with stand ins for vacationing hosts, they have more character. But LO in particular was using a rhetorical ploy in his question to why the President would go on The View, while FOX still is on the hook for the Breitbart backtrack. It is my opinion, no one on FOX which includes Sarah Palin has any cred in wondering why, let alone criticizing, from their "gotcha journalism" perspective. And just how should Palin supporters react to her celebrating Shakespeare, who was English, and a living language, in view of the original intenders of the constitution? To be fair, making up new words, American or not, is not the same, as not being able to use or let old ones live. It is however a knew cents of stringing too words to gather.

*** I think I have capped things with "The memo" link, while "the script" link was a crack at Beck's interpretation of himself, let alone biblical error. The context or con text being everything in my View. Speaking of which, there was no memo.

Avian Update

Chicken Hawk Up.
Media Matters Alert!
Republican Trillions in Error*.
Not one for slow blogging or even reading...mean flighty links and flash blogging.***

[ASTE(R)ISK IV: TO READ(usually a self-admonition or pun)but see below between * & ** and note that the long term errors could be flip-flopped as4 investment turn around i.e Refudiate d Economics. Update under(over) construction.]

QCON: Stephanie** Miller
Conservative claim submitted that Sherrod leak was an Obama distraction from all of Obama's problems. My earlier thought was that it was a distraction from all his successes. In fact, my idea is supported by the fact that Breitbart had this for months.(by one account, accuracy aside) Camel's nose under tent? It occurred to me re: Tax increase verses Expiring Cuts. This means that Republicans are the camel's nose, when they now want to extend cuts scheduled to expire. On the other hump, Democrats will extend the middle class tax cuts. Not to mention one of these could actually pay for the other.[McClatchy]

* Trillions in error: based on 500 billion in 2020 alone
[Not to mention "tax on uncertainty" of small businesses being so impacted: If they hire more, they will be taxed less, and profit more.]
** Obama takes on GOP "shadow groups" and hails DISCLOSE act.
