Ted Turner still an idiot, thinks forced abortions are a good idea

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTME9ahQBWM Maybe that’s not precisely what he said, but he might as well have.

Turner appeared on Diane Rehm’s show and during a conversation on population control, Turner said the following, “We do have the example of China, and they’ve done it without, uh, draconian, as far as I can see, draconian steps.”

We would have said forced abortions fall into the “draconian” category, but it looks like we were wrong.

Turner quickly admitted that he didn’t know what he was talking about, which is something we’ve been waiting to hear for nearly 30 years.

Talk about wanting to be a fly on the wall. Wouldn’t you have loved to listen in on the dinner conversations Turner had with Jane Fonda when they were married?

Lunacy at its finest.

Left wing bloggers try to embarrass Miss California with “dirty” photos

Dirty. Sexy. Risque. Semi-nude. Harlot. (Yawn. Wake us up when the left digs up something worth talking about.)
Dirty. Sexy. Risque. Semi-nude. Harlot. (Yawn. Wake us up when the left digs up something worth talking about.)
Miss California, Carrie Prejean, doesn’t deserve to live. She actually had the effrontery to express the opinion of the majority of people in her state and in the nation.

Now the left is out to do anything they can to destroy this young woman. She’s a stupid bitch. She’s had breast implants. And now, now, now the left thinks they’ve hit the scandal goldmine.

“Dirty” photos.

Sadly for the left, the photos are about as dirty as the Sears catalog. In fact, they may actually have been in a Sear’s catalog.

“I am a Christian, and I am a model,” Prejean said. “Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be.”

The best they can do so far is photo that shows Prejean wearing nothing but a pair of panties. Her breasts are completely covered by her arm.

Yet media bias reared its ugly head when NBC’s Today Show refused to air the photos because they were too racy.

Hah! They’re about as racy as Katie Couric. Ooh, we take that back. We don’t even want to think about that. God, we wish we could wipe that thought from our minds.

The Idiot’s Guide to Condoms, brought to you tonight by the American taxpayer

Here we go again. More government money being spent to teach people how to use condoms.

As anyone who’s read IHateTheMedia.com for more than a few seconds knows, there are no geniuses around here. But even the staff morons can figure out how to use a condom. And if they haven’t heard what the purpose of a condom is by the time they’re old enough to use one, they haven’t been paying attention to the liberal media.

In fact, we consider the fact that George Clooney hasn’t reproduced is proof positive that a moron can figure out how to use a condom.

The condom commercial is part of a larger program. Here’s how GetFreeCondoms.org describes it:

According to a study released 6/24/08 by PLoS Medicine, watching a video in an STD clinic waiting room can reduce the risk for a new STD by almost 10%. In a large multi-center intervention trial, Dr. Lee Warner from the Centers for Disease control and Prevention and a team of researchers at different institutions in the U.S. studied the effect of a carefully crafted, 23-minute waiting room video on the risk for new STDs among 40,000 patients in 3 STD clinics in the country. More information about Safe in the City can be found at the project’s website: www.safeinthecity.org.

Our favorite part of the video is the Barry White-like voice over. It’s like the CDC is taking a little walk on the wild side.

MSNBC hosts protest Republicans’ swinophobic comments

Prejudiced scientists say swine flu was passed from pigs to humans. How are we to know it wasn't the other way around?
Prejudiced scientists say swine flu was passed from pigs to humans. How are we to know it wasn't the other way around?
Pig rights advocates are furious that conservatives continue blaming the porcine community for the spread of so-called Swine Flu. They are expected to air their complaints on MSNBC next week.

“These swinophobic comments are very hurtful,” one distraught pig supporter will say. “All we want is the right to be sick like everyone else.”

“This flu isn’t a choice,” another protester will say, “It’s genetic.”

Perez Hilton will also come to the defense of the pigs, saying, “Anyone who blames this on the pigs is a stupid sow.”

MSNBC’s primetime schedule will be filled next week with programs supporting the oppressed swine minority in their battle for equality.

“Anyone who criticizes pigs,” Keith Olbermann is expected to hiss, “is a Nazi.”

“I support the swine,” Chris Matthews is predicted to say. “So from now on, Obama is only going to give me thrills up the hamhock.”

“I’m behind the pigs all the way,” Rachel Maddow is expected to say. “And I’ll support them as soon as I’m done with all my teabagging puns.”

And Ed Schultz will say…ahhh, crap, who cares what Ed Schultz might say.

Rick Sanchez doesn’t like freedom. Tells Republican Senator Jim Demint, “You have to do better than that.”

Republican Senator Jim Demint ventured into unfriendly territory and appeared on CNN with Rick Sanchez the other day. He made the mistake of saying that the Republicans would rise again by emphasizing freedom.

Sanchez took exception to that concept.

“Freedom? Freedom? What the hell does that mean?” Sanchez blurted. “You have to do better than that.”

Interesting that a CNN anchor would needs to ask a Republican to explain freedom and then say it’s not good enough. This mindset may explain why Fox has left CNN so far behind in the ratings.

You want something better than freedom, Rick? How about freedom with sugar on top. Or freedom three easy monthly payments of $19.95. Or freedom with fries on the side. Or freedom wrapped in thousand dollar bills. Or maybe even freedom to sound stupid on national television.

Prince tries to prove that Michael Jackson isn’t the weirdest man in show biz

Unfortunately, this was not a wardrobe malfunction. It was intentional.
Unfortunately, this was not a wardrobe malfunction. It was intentional.
Prince showed up for a strange interview on Tavis Smiley’s show a few nights ago and seemed intent upon proving that he’s just as crazy as Michael Jackson.

Among the many topics he touched on was chemtrails. That’s the wacko theory that contrails left in the sky by jets are secretly laced with chemicals as part of some giant plan to control the public. Or infect the public. Or something like that.

The recording artist once again known as Prince also believes our government should be based on prophecy and morals, which seems odd coming from a guy who showed up on a televised awards show with his butt hanging out of two holes where the seat of his pants should have been.

Oh, and let’s not leave out his comment that there were eight presidents before George Washington.

Prince is nuts. He’s always been nuts. But Little Red Corvette is still a very cool song.

New York Post finds 100 Obama faux pas in 100 days, but CNN has trouble finding ten

On President Obama’s 100th day, CNN did one of its pathetically weak periodic attempts to show its lack of bias by presenting a list the President’s Top 10 faux pas.

Despite the fact that the New York Post was able to put together a list of 100 presidential screw-ups, here’s the best CNN could come up with.

10. Screwing up the oath of office (although CNN laughingly blamed it on Chief Justice Roberts)
9. Whacking his head getting into Marine One
8. Bowing to the Saudi king.
7. The First Lady touches the queen
6. Making the Special Olympics gaffe on the Tonight Show
5. Stepping on wife’s dress during an inauguration dance
4. Teleprompter woes
3. His daughters talk too much
2. Saying Nancy Reagan had a séance
1. Michelle called the new First Dog as Barney instead of Bo (although this was really Michelle’s faux pas)

The way we count it, the score was Barack 6, Michelle 2, Chief Justice Roberts 1, Malia and Sasha 1. In the end, CNN could only find six Obama faux pas. Somehow, they overlooked the foreign policy gaffes, the diplomatic woes, his domestic policy problems, his god awful history of nominee troubles, the exploding deficit, and on and on.

But they did notice that he stepped on his wife’s dress. This is truly investigative journalism at its finest.

Keith Olbermann calls Perez Hilton “an intellectual titan” and “a civil rights leader”

Perez Hilton is “an intellectual titan” and a “civil rights leader” while Miss California Carrie Prejean is a vile human being for holding the same opinion as the majority of people in her state and in the nation.

Apparently, Olbermann got his fill of juvenile sex puns in the infamous tea bagging episode, and now decided that breast implants should become his next frontier of intellectual exploration.

We realize it sounds preposterous, but that’s precisely what liberal icon Keith Olbermann and his vile guest discuss. With great glee.

Apparently, Olbermann has given up any hope of attracting a larger audience and is now interested only in being as absurd as humanly possible.

Congratulations, Keith. It’s always nice to see someone achieve their goal.

Intimidation, domination, annihilation: Fox News beats CNN and MSNBC combined

"Sssssh. Please don't tell advertisers about this debacle."
"Sssssh. Please don't tell advertisers about this debacle."

Fox News gave CNN and MSNBC a good, old fashioned whuppin’ in April.

They beat CNN and MSNBC combined every hour of the day from 6 a.m. to midnight in Total Viewers and the all-important Adults 25-54 demographic.

Fox dominated across the board. They laid claim to the top eleven cable news programs in Total Viewers. They also took home 12 of the top 15 shows in the 25-54 demographic.

MediaBistro.com gives more details:

From 9amET on, every program grew by more than 60% in the demo. The 5pmET hour, now occupied by Glenn Beck, is up 212% in the demo and up 128% in Total Viewers. Your World with Neil Cavuto is up 102% in the demo and up 60% in Total Viewers. On the Record with Greta Van Susteren is up 75% in demo and up 55% in Total Viewers. Also in demo: FOX Report is up 75%, Special Report 70%, The O’Reilly Factor 74% and Hannity 64%.

Fox & Friends has now been #1 for 90 consecutive months, Studio B with Shepard Smith for 80 consecutive months.

Fox News is now has the second highest number of Total Viewers on all of cable television. And they’re set their sites on toppling the long-time number one-rated USA Network.

Keith Olbermann immediately curled up into a depression-induced fetal position and has yet to come out of it. MSNBC may need to air reruns of Olbermann’s Countdown program until he recovers.

Right wing lunatics at Fox dump Obama. Just like they dumped Bush in 2001.

The President is sad to find out that Fox will air "Lie To Me" instead of his press conference. Very sad.
The President is sad to find out that Fox will air "Lie To Me" instead of his press conference. Very sad.

By now you’ve probably heard that those fascists at Fox refuse to carry The One’s Wednesday night primetime press conference and Celebration of Self.

Of course, the left would like you to believe this sort of thing would never happen if a white Republican were president.

Unfortunately for those obscurers of truth, it actually did happen the last time a white Republican was president. President George W. Bush, to be exact.

In 2001, Fox chose not to air a primetime speech by President Bush. Then, three years later, it joined all the networks in decllning to air his May 2004 speech on Iraq.

Quick. Call Al Gore. It’s another one of those inconvenient truths he likes to talk about. No, wait. This may not be one of the ones he likes to talk about.

100 days of puffery, ballyhoo, hoopla and hype

Iowa flooding looked as bad as many sections of New Orleans. So where was the media? Where was Sean Penn?
Iowa flooding looked as bad as many sections of New Orleans. So where was the media? Where was Sean Penn?
Kudos to Politico’s Richard Benedetto for writing about the way the mainstream media has been covering the Obama presidency in his column “Watchdogs are heeling for Obama”. We would’ve gone a little further and titled the piece “Media lapdogs are lying down for Obama.”

Benedetto’s journalism students gave the media a C+/B- for their covering during the first 100 days. After chronicling a few instances of media double standards in the way similar-to-identical statements made by GWB and BHO were portrayed, the columnist felt a C+ was about right.

His list seemed a bit short. How about the way similar events were covered? One of the major stories that’s been virtually ignored was the Iowa/North Dakota flooding. Remember the overwrought and outright false Katrina coverage? (“10,000 dead”?!)

As a widely circulated conservative-leaning email asked, Where was the hysterical 24/7 media coverage, with reports of lootings, shootings at rescuers, of rapes and murder? Where were the stories of people screaming that Barack Obama hates white, rural people? Where were the government bailout vouchers and government debit cards? Are the values of Iowa and Louisiana residents that different or is the media just that skewed?

What grade would you give the media for their coverage of Obama’s first 100 days? We’d give ’em a D for duplicitous double-standards.

Obamagasm: TV news covers Obama more than Bush & Clinton combined.

Reverends Couric, Williams and Gibson conduct services nightly.
Reverends Couric, Williams and Gibson conduct services nightly.
This will come as no surprise to anyone this side of a catatonic trance, but TV network news has given us all Obama all the time.

The nonpartisan research group Center for Media and Public Affairs along with California’s Chapman University released a study that found the nightly newscasts devoted 27 hours, 44 minutes to Pres. Obama’s presidency in his first 50 days. That compares to 7 hours, 42 minutes for Pres. George W. Bush and 15 hours, 2 minutes for Pres. Bill Clinton during the first 50 days of their first terms.

Not only has Obama gotten more coverage, but that coverage has been more positive than his predecessors.

On the ABC, CBS, and NBC evening newscasts, 58% of all evaluations of the president and his policies have been favorable, while 42% were unfavorable. That compares with 33% positive in the comparable period of Bush’s tenure and 44% positive for Pres. Clinton.

The study continues:

CBS led the coverage with 365 stories and 10 hours 46 minutes of airtime, followed by NBC with 327 stories and 9 hours 38 minutes, and ABC with 329 stories and 7 hours 20 minutes.

The first half hour of Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier,” which the study says most closely resembles the network evening newscasts, devoted 10 hours 24 minutes to the Obama administration, nearly as much airtime as CBS gave him.

But Fox News stands apart from its competitors here – only 13% of comments* were considered favorable. On ABC, 57% of the comments were favorable, compared to 58% for CBS and 61% for NBC.

What these numbers don’t tell us is what percentage of the comments were neutral and what percentage were negative. We’re willing to bet the ratio of positive to negative is stunning.

Government bailout subsidizing Olbermann salary,
sign the petition


Left wing lunatic Ben Afleck does a perfect impression of
left wing lunatic Keith Olbermann on Saturday Night Live.

Is Keith Olbermann a hypocrite? Of course. A congenital liar? Certainly. A lunatic. Without a doubt.

That’s why we’re happy to lend our support to this internet petition objecting to his latest outrage. Click on the link at the bottom of the story to sign the petition.

Dear Mr. Olbermann,

While General Electric, the parent-company of your MSNBC network, was negotiating a $126 billion taxpayer-funded bailout, you signed a new contract raising your salary from $4 million to $7.5 million annually. You have used your show as a platform to call for the resignation of corporate executives accepting excessive bonuses on the backs of taxpayers who are picking up the tab for these atrocious bailouts, yet you yourself have no problem engaging in the same “class economic rape” that you accuse them of.

Please heed your own advice and stop accepting taxpayer money to subsidize your nightly diatribes. Resign or return the balance of your excessive raise to the U.S. Treasury.
Sincerely,

(add your signature at the link below)

President Obama plans primetime party disguised as press conference

American Idol judges watch intently as Barack Obama once again wows the audience at his latest primetime press conference/performance.
American Idol judges watch intently as Barack Obama once again wows the audience at his latest primetime press conference/performance.
American business be damned. When President Obama wants to celebrate his own greatness with a primetime press conference, the networks better just get in line.

Wednesday is the President’s 100th day in office and he’s “requested” another hour of the TV networks’ evening schedules.

“It’s an arbitrary day in which presidents are measured. We get that. We’re playing along,” said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs.

However, this request is more painful than previous ones because it comes during “sweeps week,” the time of year when ratings are measured and advertising rates established for the coming quarter. The networks roll their top programs during sweeps week. So they are loathe to give up their most valuable time for what Gibbs admits is an arbitrary date.

But in keeping with his other actions during the previous 99 days, the president has shown that his TV face time is more important than the networks’ advertising time.

Wednesday’s press conference will be the president’s third conducted in primetime. At the current pace, he is on track to hold one a month.

This guy obviously wants his own weekly TV show. So let’s just make him the only contestant on American Idol each week.

Randy can say, “Barack is in the house, dog.” Kara can say, “Is Paula sober tonight?” Paula can say, “You know, you really made America your own.” And Simon will be deported for being honest.

UK Member of Parliament says he may kill Miss California, kills career instead

Alan Duncan is a Member of Parliament in Great Britain. He wants to be Home Secretary, but after last night he may find himself unemployed instead.

The boneheaded MP was discussing Miss California, Carrie Prejean, on the BBC comedy show “Have I Got News For You” when he called Prejean a “silly bitch.” If would have been bad enough had he stopped there, but he didn’t.

“If you read that Miss California is murdered,” he said, “you will know it was me.”

At least we think that’s what he said. It was difficult to tell with his foot buried so deeply in his mouth.

Viewers complaints began flooding into the BBC and Britain’s Broadcasting Standards Authority almost immediately.

“Mr. Duncan has crossed the line,” said the Reverend George Hargreaves. “A senior politician suggesting, even as a joke, that it is OK that Ms. Prejean should be murdered for her Evangelical Christian views is totally unacceptable.”

“If you read that my career is dead,” Duncan shold have said, “you will know it was me.”

Susan Boyle, Britain’s virgin singing sensation, offered $1,000,000 to make porn flick

susan_boyle If you thought Simon Cowell looked stunned when he heard Susan Boyle sing on “Britain’s Got Talent,” imagine the look on his face when he sees her in a porn flick.

Los Angeles-based Kick Ass Films has offered the singing British spinster one million smackers to star in a porn flick.

Unfortunately, the deal calls for the homely virgin with the fabulous voice to sacrifice her virginity on camera. Boyle, a self-confessed virgin, says she’s never kissed a man, much less bedded one.

“We want to get this movie shot and out while Susan has the world’s attention,” said Kick Ass honcho Mark Kulkis. “Besides, after 47 years of virginity, I’m sure Susan is also anxious to get something cracking as soon as possible.”

If Boyle accepts the offer, Kulkis says Kick Ass will fly her to Hollywood on Virgin Airlines.

A YouTube.com clip of Boyle singing on Cowell’s British TV show, “Britain’s Got Talent” has been viewed more than 100 million times around the world.

We just hope that the woman with the voice of an angel isn’t seduced by the man with the soul of the devil.

California congressman jumps all over Hillary Clinton

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was testifying in Congress yesterday. It wasn’t pretty.

When long-time conservative California Congressman Dana Rohrabacher asked her about former Vice President Dick Cheney’s request to release additional CIA interrogation documents, Hillary tried to deflect the question by saying, “I don’t find him to be a particularly reliable source of information.”

Rohrabacher jumped on her like a bulldog on a bone. It was a thing of beauty. What Rohrabacher did, not Hillary.

“Mademe Secretary, I asked you a specific question…we’re not asking your opinion of Dick Cheney…you want to maintain your credibility with us, what is your opinion on the release of those documents”

The woman didn’t answer, wouldn’t answer, couldn’t answer, all of the above.

Nadya Suleman says she’s landed a reality show deal. Or a documentary deal. Or maybe she hasn’t.

“Yes, it is official,” Suleman said. “I’m going to be doing a show, but it’s not a reality show. What I’m doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children. It’s going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18. It’s being done by Eyeworks. They’re in the UK. It will air in the UK and then we’ll see if the US is interested.”


Unfortunately, Nadya may have jumped the gun here. No European network has agreed to carry the show and even Eyeworks disputes that it’s reached an agreement.

“At this time we are in active negotiations with Nadya and her attorney for an unscripted format following the life of Nadya and her children,” said Eyeworks CEO Reinout Oerlemans. “Nadya’s story is a unique and exciting one that needs to be told in the right manner…We are confident that we are the right party to tell their story around the world.”
