Another Reason Why I do not watch Fox News

This is about as low as you can get. Even for Fox News. Seems someone over at Faux Noise thought it would be cute to alter photos of some NYT staffers.

Here’s the video that ran:

Here are the altered Photos:

I don’t know Fox News realizes it or not. But they have ventured into major Lawsuit territory. That would be considered defamation of Character. I mean News is a very public forum. I would be lining me up some legal representation and I would be taking me some Rupert Mudoch to court.

The Manufactured Liberal scandal against a Conservative of the day

Man, I’ll tell you, it goes for one silly headline to another. I awake this morning to the headline of Michelle Obama being referred to as a “Baby Momma”.

……and of course, Michelle Malkin is supposedly involved. Now let me say this, yes, the graphic was offensive, anyone who uses that sort of a term about a married woman, much less, a married black woman, is just being downright offensive.

Malkin for her part says:

I did not write the caption and I was not aware of it when it ran (the Baltimore studio doesn’t have a monitor). I don’t know if the caption writer was making a lame attempt to be hip, clueless about the original etymology of the phrase, or both.

She goes on to try to attempt to justify the caption, of which I do not agree, however, let me just say this, if you’re going to be angry with anyone, make it Fox News, not Michelle Malkin, she could not even see the damn graphic. Of course, Malkin has gotten hate mail for it. I just wonder how long it will be before some idiot liberal posts her home address and telephone numbers for the world to see, like they did last time.

I predict that Fox News will issue some lame apology and this will become yesterdays news. But still, Baby Momma? Talk about low!

Bill Orally opens his mouth and inserts his rather large foot

Ol’ Bill Orally, he just cannot resist the racist or social class homophobia.

The transcript: (via Media Matters)

From the June 10 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor:

O’REILLY: "Unresolved Problem" segment tonight, more evidence of values problem among American young people. At the Pascack Valley High School in northern New Jersey, seven ninth-graders, 14- and 15-year-olds, have been suspended for distributing topless photos of their classmates. As many as 20 young girls appeared that way. No charges have been filed, but the community is shocked.

And with us now is Inger Kruegle, the mother of two girls attending the school — they were not involved — and Leslie Brody, a reporter for the Bergen Record who broke the story yesterday. Leslie, we’ll begin with you.

See, what I don’t understand is how girls this young could be persuaded to put themselves at risk by posing in this way for a cell phone camera. What was the persuadability factor there?

BRODY: Well, there are different ways that children got onto these photos. In one case, a boy asked several girls to be part of his photo gallery, kind of a collage he was putting together. Another instance a girl sent it to her boyfriend thinking it was just for him, perhaps, and then they broke up and then he sent it around to his friends.

But this is a common occurrence these days. Boys send photos of themselves to girls as well. Sometimes the photos are meant to stop at the recipient. Sometimes they are intended for distribution.

O’REILLY: Do you think 13- and 14-year-olds or 15-year-olds are smart enough to understand they put themselves at risk when they do this kind of behavior? The girls that you talked to, do they have any idea or are they just stone cold dumb?

BRODY: Well, bear in mind some of these pictures were taken two or three years ago and they surfaced now. But some of these girls were 11, so they could be, perhaps, understood as being a little more innocent or thoughtless. Some kids, perhaps, are looking for attention. Some see Lindsay Lohan doing this kind of thing and want to do it themselves. Some are impulsive.

O’REILLY: But it’s an amazing amount of kids involved with this — 20 — in an affluent school district. This isn’t, you know, the inner city; you would think that these kids would have some kind of a values system. It’s not that it’s so horrendous. You know, it’s not murder or rape. But it’s so stupid.

BRODY: True. But it’s very common as well and the adults —

O’REILLY: Do you think it’s very common across the country?

BRODY: I talked to police today who say it’s quite common. It’s been a big issue at their juvenile officer conferences. It’s been reported in Utah, Connecticut, Texas, New York, previously in New Jersey. I believe —

O’REILLY: So it’s all — and kids as young as 11 are doing it?

BRODY: Yeah, because cell phones are so everywhere —

O’REILLY: Oh, I know that. The technology makes it very easy to do it. Now Inga, what I think this is is lack of a values education. In public school they don’t have — teach values anymore, civics or any of that. You can’t tell the kids what’s right and wrong. You get in trouble. And if kids at home don’t have parents who set boundaries, and many of them don’t, then it’s inevitable that some of them will do this. I still think that they’re incredibly dumb.

Okay, I will admit, I do think that 11 year old girls getting their tits out for a Camera, is very wrong. But do you think Bill let his disdain for the poor class and yes, even the Black race be any more obvious?  But then again, we are talking about Faux Noise.

Of course anymore, every time I think of Bill Orally, I Think of this rather humorous video: (content warning!)

…..and they say white people can’t be funky….

Liz Trotta on Fox News jokes about Obama Being Assassinated

Just as it was totally unacceptable for Hillary Clinton to make a flippant remark about Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in 1968 and to suggest that she was running in case it happened to Obama, Just as it was totally unacceptable for Michael Savage to play the "Dead Kennedy’s" on his radio show, in a lame attempt to mock the health crisis of Ted Kennedy, It was totally unacceptable what this woman did on Fox News.

The Short Clip:

The Quote:

"and now we have what … uh…some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama …uh..um..Obama [after being prompted by the FNC anchor]….well both if we could [laughing]"

What this woman did was not only distasteful, socially unacceptable, and totally disgusting, it was also against the law. Making a statement of this nature is against the law, for anyone under the protection of secret service. Now whether they will enforce it or not, is another matter.

In case anyone thinks that she was taken out of context, here is the full clip:

This not to say, that all Republicans think like this, I am personally a Constitutionalist and Libertarian and I do not feel this way, I cherish my right to free speech, but with that Right comes a responsibility, and this stupid woman, totally shot that responsibility all to hell.

I also notice that none of the Conservative Blogs are even talking about this. Because they are cowardly bastards, all of them, they should hang their heads in shame, because talking about, even jokingly, killing someone that is running for President of the United States of America, is about the most low class, ignorant thing that one could ever want to do.

The very idea that Rupert Murdoch would even remotely tolerate this sort of reprehensible sort of talk on his own network, speaks volumes about him, his thought process and the status of this man’s very dark soul. It also speak volumes as to the reason why I will never, ever, watch Fox News Channel.

There is a great deal of outrage in the blogging world and rightly so, you can see it all, at Memeorandum

Update: Spied over at HotAir, an apology from Liz, I guess the DailyKos people got through to the Secret Service or to Murdoch:

Exit Question: If she did not mean it, then why the hell say it for in the first place? Humor my ass. Dumb bitch. AngryLoserTalk to the handRolling Eyes

Chuck Baldwin officially launches his campaign website….

I received some great news this morning in my e-mail inbox. Dancing

Pastor Chuck Baldwin has officially launched his Campaign website.  

I am voting for Chuck Baldwin because he more represents the American values that I, as a Christian, as a Libertarian and as a Constitutionalist, hold very dear.

He might not win, but I will know that my vote went for someone who still believes in the old Paleo-conservative values that I hold dear. I will also know, that my vote did not go to a third term of George W. Bush, a Neo-Conservative, Globalist, Shill or a Socialist, Marxist, Liberal. 

This notion that if you don’t vote for John McCain, that your vote is a vote for Hillary or Obama is the biggest lie and the great travesty ever heaped upon this Nation. Heaped upon it by warmongering bastards who want to send this Nation into a pit that it will never get itself out of.

I ask you today, Libertarian, Constitutionalist, Conservative, Republican, wake up and realize that this Nations only hope, is found in this man.

Check out his Website, Forum  and go to his "Money Bomb" page.

Let’s get American back on the right track, vote for Chuck Baldwin

Let us not forget our United States Servicemen

While I have been a very vocal critic of the Bush Administration’s Handling of the war in Iraq. I will always stand in honor for our United States Military.

Here is a video that I think everyone, Liberal, Conservative and everything in between, needs to watch: (H/T to Army Wife Toddler Mom and Tammi)

Please, support Military Ministry or Soldiers’ Angels

Let’s not forget those, who choose to serve our Nation, so that Bloggers, like me, can write and be free.

Bill O' Flips his wig trying to tape a segment…

I’m posting this from the Blogger.com interface… Because I want to upload a video…

The newest thing making the rounds on the Blogs is a Video of Bill O’ of Faux Noise fame, flipping his wig over a prompter not having the correct text or no text at all.

Here’s the Video, ENJOY!

Of course, as a native Detroit’er. This stuff is nothing new. Here’s a video of our own Bill Bonds of WXYZ-TV in Detroit, Michigan flipping his wig over something that wasn’t written to his liking, this was also when Bill Bonds was hitting the sauce as well, back in the 1980’s. For what it is worth, Bill Bonds ended up finally getting fired for his drinking problem, after many "second chances" by management.

So there you have it. Broadcasting at it’s finest.

Update: Here’s Keith Olbermann’s reaction:

Keith Olbermann's Worst Person in the World

Silver: Dick Morris for opening his Bazoo about Obama. (I’m no Fan of Obama, But that’s just plain stupid)

Bronze: Hillary former campaign Manager for being a damned idiot

Gold: Cindy McCain for claiming to run a clean campaign, when her Hubby Jaun McSame is already running a dirty campaign.
