Mornin’, Jane. Happy Easter, spring, Passover, Peeps Day, jellybean sugar overload day and Sunday.

Shorter Teaparty Cheer: “Gimme a Tea, gimme a…gimme…Mom, what comes after Tea?”

Good Morning Jane

just left you this over at FB

diarist thereisnospoon posts about illegal robocall invites in several states.

i used to feel sorry for that dipshit,cause he has MS…but he is a cretin with NO redeeming value….

You have to go potty?

He meant they wanted to be there at the million man march, honest.

g’mornin’ and happy easter. it’s raining in central texas. that’s good for us and all our local little farms.

the morons are moroning some more.

cbl2: I got one of those calls recently. Caller ID said Spring, TX.

Dangit, Jane, reality just keeps getting in the way of the good rants these teabaggers and FauxNewsers are working up. Keep up the good work.

From his bio at Fox, it looks like Cavuto was with CNBC in 1995, an unlikely place for him to be “pointing out” that the march fell short of its goal. Not likely CNBC covered that.

Does anybody remember the coverage given to the anti-war marches in 2003?

Anybody?

Bueller?

But the entire media (and I do mean entire) is giving the ridiculous teabaggers plenty of airtime.

If you have received one of these illegal robo calls, I urge you to contact your state’s attorney general and complain.

Bill McCollum (R) (850) 414-3300

Fla is now a total cesspool…Jeb totally ruined it

We managed to keep him out of the Senate, but didn’t get rid of him entirely…

Gotta run.

I remember the FOX news coverage of the protest march, I think it was January 2003. And the way the newscasters put down the protesters, opining something to the effect that the protesters were uninformed and misguided. Totally unprofessinal. That’s when I stopped watching FOX news. Haven’t watched it since.

Happy Easter, Passover, everyone.

LOL! The Million Man March ~ as I remember it, not only did FAUX not exist then, that was a march made by mostly men of color to boot. Now elitist white men want to take that over too???? Why can’t they just attend to their stoooopid tea baggin’ tea parties and make sure to wear white gloves and pat down their pompadour haircuts, since it is now after Easter?

God these people are ridiculous!

Cat In Seattle

(((thinking of you)))

I wish someone from the progresive side would point out that the boston tea party was a revolt against the king lowering taxes on his wealthy homeboys, not a revolt on him raising taxes on the colonies

their heads will explode the first person that does it

happy happy every single person

Faux News is an oxymoron. Faux has very little to do with news it is Propoganda. Remember they do not deal with facts.

my co-worker repeats their rubbish like clockwork

I couldn’t believe the day he came in all proud of himself trying to demonstrat the “new deal” actually slowed recovery

took all of three minutes to show him the truth but he is undeterred when faux or rush or hannity says it

cavuto also had the nerve to say they were there for “the protest against the Iraq war”

the protests never stopped, they were all around the globe, I sincerely doubt they were there for those extremely pervasive demonstrations nearly as high percentage as they cover these extremely elite propaganda events

I get most of my news from the internet anyway. And Democracy Now; Amy Goodman is one of the best. Rarely watch any national news on any of the broadcast stations, at least not anything related to government or politics.

I want to point out that faux is in a no lose situation here

the more we point out that they are sponsoring the teabees the more they are justified talking about it

though we have no choice, we are feeding the troll so to speak

I would guess no matter how many or few people show up to do their Teabagging Faux will call it a huge movement and a great success. Telling the truth is something they can’t seem to do. If instead of Faux News it was called Faux Opinions then they wouldn’t have to worry about as being expected to be truthful.

off for a bit, see everyone later

“…we do not pick and choose these rallies and protests…”

Media Matters:

A Hannity & Colmes segment on dueling rallies for and against Rep. John P. Murtha dedicated twice as much time to the anti-Murtha rally, despite reports that twice as many people attended the pro-Murtha rally.

Fair and balanced.

Happy Easter everyone…. the sun is shinning….. birds woke me up with their singing…. Another wonderful day to celebrate life….

I live in N. Texas and heard an ad for one of these events on a local radio station (if there is such a thing anymore) last night … seemed like an odd choice to run an ad for that on an FM station that mostly plays stuff like Seether, Audioslave, Puddle of Mudd, and the like. This area is home to a lot of ‘true believers’ who don’t seem to be swayed by reality or facts … I think it’s no accident that Shrub came here to retire.

Ah yes, I remember the enthusiasm and eagerness to cover all of the anti-war protests prior to the Iraq invasion. Fox was there promoting every single protest with breathless deference and sober realism.

Not.

The only good thing I can say about Cavuto is he saved me a ton of money when he was on CNBC and he mentioned a penny stock I owned which they’d be covering after the break. I had a bad feeling and without waiting for the reporting I sold the entire lot for a profit of 8 grand. When Cavuto came back he started questioning the stock’s soundness (it was called IDID and traded on the OTC). Within 15 minutes the floor had come out from underneath the stock and if I had waited I would have lost money.

Other than that, the man has become a bloated bloviator.

Neil Cavuto should be in prison.

Fox news will do every thing it can to make these protests appear much larger than they really are.
Hey fox news how does it feel being on the outside looking in?

So what is it in the conservative mind that makes them try to rewrite history every chance they get? Yeah, right — FDR caused the Great Depression, the 50s were the Golden Age, Vietnam was a success, Reagan was a genius, Clinton was a failure, Bush was beloved by all, the Million Man March never happened and neither did Katrina…

I’m certain it is the natural response to pride in a job well done.

How was the battle resolved yesterday bet. the GOP dweeb who slammed Jane H. for not immediately responding to his assholic questioning? Last I saw, there were two more posts on the guy’s site that pretty much ripped him a new one.

It’s nice to see some watchdogging for reporting. It sure is funny to hear the right talking about teabagging, but it’s also interesting in a way – I was just listening to an episode of The Joan Kenley Show (progressive Bay Area podcast) called The Media: What’s True, What’s Not that addressed how the right-wing corporate media will use catch phrases (like “socialism”) and single-line branding to manipulate the information we hear. I have to say that in the case of “teabagging” it’s definitely working against them. ;)

…and the new GOP dating acronym, 2M4M!? Almost seems like they are throwing polygamy in there, for effect!!

…or I guess that would only be polyamoury…how progressive of the GOPeons!!

Where? (Here at the Lake?) Linky? This ‘can’t spend many hours in front of my monitor because my vision fails’ guy would like to know… Just asking.

Thank you!

Hey…the thread is on the second page, and Jane H. started it about their anti-bankster demonstration, with video. Guess it was resolved, and that the guy stopped censoring posts on his blog.

T P R T?

Which would be what bohemian types do on Halloween when they don’t get candy!

I would bet that Cavuto, “during the break” was doing precisely what you were doing ;-)

May have to use that

I’ll actually defend Cavuto here — or anyone sitting in front of the camera like that — to a point.

You can’t be an anchor and do all your own research and reporting. You’ve got to depend on someone to give you solid information, and if Cavuto was at CNN in 1995 he probably covered it. I never remember what I did and didn’t write about 4 years ago. I don’t expect him to remember what he covered at CNN and what he covered at Fox.

So someone in research fucked up. That said, it’s an absurd point — of course they’re giving an inordinate amount of coverage to the teabaggers. If they covered the Iraq war protests it was only to call them all objectively pro-terrorist.
