While Keith Olbermann was naming Sarah Palin “The Worst Person in the World” and “an idiot”, the ace graphics department at MSNBC misspelled the word “you’re” in an on-screen graphic.
Ahhh, those rascally radicals at MSNBC. Perhaps they should have spent more of their college careers studying and less time protesting.
While Keith Olbermann was naming Sarah Palin “The Worst Person in the World” and “an idiot”, the ace graphics department at MSNBC misspelled the word “you’re” in an on-screen graphic.
Olbermann: She continued, “I’m glad to be here on the president’s home turf. Somebody told me ‘you know, you’re going into enemy territory. I said it’s Chicago, it’s not MSNBC.’ That woman is an idiot. And the event at which that idiot spoke was sponsored by an Illinois firm that specializes in battery-operated back-up sump pumps. Not just a sump-pump political event: it was a back-up sump-pump political event. Moreover, to put it plainly, and this is a matter of record, that woman does not have the courage, personal or political, to appear on MSNBC. Not without and army with her, and I mean that literally. the half-governor of Alaska now celebrating two years without holding an actual news conference or having the guts to appear on a network like this one. But the toast of America’s back-up sump pump political circuit. Today’s Worst Person in the World.
Let us spell this out for you, Keith. Your a vile human bean.

It’s no secret that CNN is rapidly losing viewers. They often finish in fourth and even fifth place in the cable news ratings and, appropriately enough, rank right down there with the Cartoon Network.
But now Compete.com and CNN Political Bias report that CNN’s loss of viewers is minimal compared to the loss of visitors to CNN.com. The website has shed more than 7,000,000 unique visitors in just the last eight months.
Fewer eyeballs on the television. Fewer eyeballs on the website.

Say what? Keith Olbermann is less than truthful? That won’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s ever watched his show. But it apparently came as a revelation to Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales, who was recently named Olbermann’s “Third Worst Person In The World.”
Say what? Keith Olbermann is less than truthful? That won’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s ever watched his show. But it apparently came as a revelation to Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales, who was recently named Olbermann’s “Third Worst Person In The World.”
What had Shales done to deserve this honor? He simply said that when Stewart interviewed Bill Clinton, “She looked as though she would have been much more comfortable in Clinton’s lap.”
That sent Olbermann over the edge. The edge of truthfulness, that is.
The New York Post has the details of Olbermann’s lie of omission:
Olbermann neglected to tell his viewers that Stewart, who used to substitute-host for him on “Countdown,” is married to Bill Wolff, the cable channel’s vice president for prime-time programming.
“While he’s attacking people’s ethics, he himself is guilty of a huge oversight. He’s intentionally misleading viewers,” Shales told us. “Stewart is more than a colleague. She’s his boss’ wife. It’s a deliberate deception.”
We’re not sure who was more upset by Shales’ review – Stewart or the ass-kissing Olbermann.

This is sad. Really sad. Chris Matthews is now hoping to find one dissatisfied Rush Limbaugh listener who will come on his show and badmouth the talk show king.

This is sad. Really sad. Chris Matthews is now hoping to find one dissatisfied Rush Limbaugh listener who will come on his show and badmouth the talk show king.
But what are the odds that he can find such a person within his miniscule audience?
Matthews: And out on a Limbaugh! We’re issuing a challenge tonight and every night to elected Republicans. Come on Hardball please sir and madam and tell us you disagree with Rush on anything! Tell us you’ve had it with his distortions, his misrepresentations, his outright falsehoods. We invite you to tell us he’s not the leader of the Republican Party. It’s our standing offer. Come on Hardball and tell us Rush isn’t telling the truth.
When he finally finds the Limbaugh listener he’s looking for, we suspect that he’ll be shrouded in shadows and have his voice distorted like someone who’s turned on the Mafia.
And even with those precautions, he’ll undoubtedly sound remarkably similar to Keith Olbermann and announce that Limbaugh is the world’s worst person.
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
The only conclusion we can draw is that the Canadian Thought Police are a very odd bunch. A very odd bunch indeed. Despite banning Ann Coulter for potential hate speech and hauling to a tribunal a comedian responding to lesbian hecklers, a porn TV network is alive and well.
The only conclusion we can draw is that the Canadian Thought Police are a very odd bunch. A very odd bunch indeed.
Ann Coulter gets banned for potential offensive speech. A Canadian comedian responds to lesbian hecklers and gets hauled before the tribunal. But the country has a porn TV network called Amour that operates freely and apparently isn’t considered offensive.
We can only conclude that things are quickly going south up north.
AdWeek describes the porn network’s new ad campaign:
“You won’t watch for the acting,” brags Canadian adult-entertainment network Amour in a bunch of new promos by Cossette. That’s probably true of the movies on Amour—but not of these ads, which feature bad acting by brainless bimbos honed to perfection. The hotties’ hopeless audition readings of Shakespeare and porn piffle like “It’s getting hot in here” and “Room for one more in that hot tub?” are spot-on. But the off-screen director seals the deal with his exuberant exhortations and earnest encouragement. Oddly, these spots are also satisfying with the sound off.
Maybe Coulter should have just announced that she was going to speak topless.

Open TV & Film is working on a TV miniseries based on Barack Obama’s run for the presidency as described in Newsweek journalist Richard Woolfe’s book Renegade: The Making of a President. We offer our help with the casting.
Open TV & Film, a British production company, is working on a TV miniseries based on Barack Obama’s run for the presidency as described in Newsweek journalist Richard Woolfe’s book Renegade: The Making of a President.
“It is early days,” Simon Shaps, chairman of Open said, “but we are sure there will no shortage of ideas for who plays the President.”
Since our British cousins probably aren’t as highly attuned to American culture and politics as we are here at IHateTheMedia.com, the least we can do is offer them a few casting tips. One might even say absolutely perfect casting tips.
And while we’re in a helpful mood, we thought we might suggest a new name for the miniseries, too. They can’t name it Renegade, because that was the name of a horrible syndicated show starring Lorenzo Lamas back in the ’90s. So may we humbly suggest a far more appropriate name: The Left Wing.
Please send a limo and four tickets to the premiere party to IHateTheMedia.com, Mr. Shaps.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, let’s roll the credits for The Left Wing, starring:
Will Smith as Barack Obama. In Ali, he played The Greatest. Now he’ll play The One.
Patrick Ewing as Michelle Obama. Sure, former NBA great Ewing will have to spend some time in the gym to match Michelle’s arms, but we’re confident he can pull it off.

In keeping with the Fairest President In History’s advice to “check out the Huffington Post”, we found the following story: “Rachel Maddow Hypes Her Blog: ‘Better Than The Show’ At Times.'”
This is news? That’s like a comedian getting applause by announcing that his wife is giving birth to their sixth child.
The article continued by saying “Ms. Maddow said that she thinks of the blog as a way of capturing, sharing, and enhancing the rollicking conversation that goes on among her staff on a daily basis as they prepare for that night’s show. Rather than serving as a distraction or as a perfunctory obligation, said Ms. Maddow, the new blog has already begun to provide fodder for the TV show.”
Ahhh, but if there’s one thing the show needs even more than fodder, it’s viewers. For example, check out the ratings for Tuesday, May 4:
| 9 PM | Total Viewers | (25-54 Demographic) | (35-64 Demographic) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hannity | 1,888,000 | (424,000) | (828,000) |
| Larry King Live | 944,000 | (263,000) | (383,000) |
| Rachel Maddow Show | 959,000 | (230,000) | (475,000) |
| New Age of Wal Mart | 214,000 | (106,000) | (85,000) |
| Joy Behar | 811,000 | (268,000) | (365,000) |
Well, at least Maddow is beating out Larry King and Joy Behar, who are both absolutely full of fodder.
We’re sure the blog is better Rachel. It would have to be.

Tucker Carlson interviewed Ivanka Trump while guest hosting O’Reilly’s show on Fox News. Trump shouldn’t expect to be invited to the White House anytime soon.
Carlson: How do you think this president is doing?
Trump: I’m fearful for my children and their children and just the massive amounts of debt that’s piling up and that somebody will have to reconcile. So, I am very frightened by that. I think that there are some things that were done well but I was not a fan of how the health care reform process was handled and I hope that is not an example of how reform is going to be handled going forward. I’m not overly supportive.
Wouldn’t you love to hear Ivanka’s father say, “Barack, you’re fired!”
If Fox News were smart, they’d hire him as an election analyst on November 6, 2012.

Be free, Jane. My fondest wish is that you can find a love as true as the one I have found with Barry.

We got a little weak in the knees when we heard CNN’s Jack Cafferty not only supports the Arizona SB1070 illegal alien law, but condemns the federal government for not enforcing current immigration laws.
We got a little weak in the knees when we heard CNN’s Jack Cafferty not only supports the Arizona SB1070 illegal alien law, but condemns the federal government for not enforcing current immigration laws.
Cafferty: So Arizona passes a tough law against illegal immigration and suddenly they’ve got Washington’s attention. One poll finds 70 percent of Arizona voters support this new law, so hey, maybe we better do something, too. And like the lemmings they are when they smell a chance to score some political points, and some of them need a lot of help with the midterms coming up, there is now talk of rushing immigration reform through Congress. President Obama called the Arizona law misguided. What’s misguided, Mr. President, is the federal government’s ongoing refusal to enforce the laws that are already on the books. Read the Arizona law. Parts of it are word-for-word the same as the federal statutes which continue to be all but ignored. Now we’re hear all sorts of blathering from our Washington gerbils about the need for a new federal law. There’ll be news conferences and interviews and committee hearings and draft legislation and polling, all the usual carnival acts that accompany any hot button Washington issue. Instead of simply closing the borders and enforcing the existing law so they could turn their attention to something like the national debt and the fact that the country is bankrupt, instead we’re going to get this freak show. Washington’s position on illegal immigration is patently dishonest from the top down. No enforcement, no border security. Just pandering to the Hispanic voters and the corporations that hire the illegals. And then, when one of our states that’s being ravaged by the presence of 460,000 illegal aliens inside its borders does something about it, the President says that’s misguided. What a shame. Here’s the question: Will the federal government ever enforce our immigration laws?
Thanks, Jack. That pretty much wraps it up in a neat little package with a pretty little bow on top.

Joe Biden appeared on The View this week and seemed to agree with the 14% of Americans who think Obama is the Antichrist.
A recent Harris poll shows that 14% of Americans think President Barack Obama may be the Antichrist (24% of Republicans and, surprisingly, 6% of Democrats).
Joe Biden appeared on The View this week and seemed to agree with the 14% of Americans who think Obama is the Antichrist.
“He was laughing like the devil (when Biden said “This is a big f@#%ing deal),” the Vice President told the girls.
What’s that? He was laughing like the Devil? Like El Diablo? Like the Prince of Darkness. Like Beelzebub? Like Satan? Like Lucifer? Like Mephistopheles? Like the Archfield? Like the Evil One?

In an attempt to make Fox look bad, the ratings-challenged network did a report on the dust-up. But instead of running the actual commercial during that report, they unwittingly ran a parody.
Lane Bryant wanted to run a sexy commercial (the top video) during the family hour (8-9 pm), but ABC and Fox rejected the commercial.
Fox said the commercial could run as is after 9 p.m. or could run with some unspecified edits at the earlier hour. Lane Bryant did the good American thing to do and screamed that they were being discriminated against. The networks is guilty of sizism, they claimed.
Enter the geniuses at HLN.
In an attempt to make Fox look bad, the ratings-challenged network did a report on the dust-up. But instead of running the actual commercial during that report, they unwittingly ran a parody (the bottom video).
Watch closely. The only difference between the two versions are the messages on the actress’ phone.
But it’s that message that turns the parody into true sizism (we can’t believe we’re even using that stupid word. But it seems to work in this instance).
The bottom line? HLN, which tried to make it look like Fox was guilty of “sizism” for rejecting the original commercial, ends up looking guilty of “sizism” by running the parody.
It’s almost zen-like, isn’t it?

Even Obama hasn’t managed to pull that one off. Yet.
Oh, he tried. Remember when he pressured all the networks to carry his primetime press conferences? But Fox finally said balked and aired its regular programming. And there was nothing Obama could do about it.
