Lordy, there's a lot of stuff that conservatives believe that. . .well. . .defies belief. And look, it's right there on the internets! I read it, it's true, don't you understand? Ugh. But wait, aren't there things on the internet that liberals might believe that are distortions or outright lies? Probably. But liberals don't have the megaphone of FOX "News" or right-wing talk radio, to turn absolute idiocy into full-blown news stories.
And the weirdest part? These stories can be utterly debunked, blown apart, and laughed about by the rest of us. And if you go onto FreeRepublic.com three years from now, they'll still go on about each of these stories as if they are true. Hey, did you hear about President Obama's trip to India that cost six million, billion, trillion dollars a day??? IT'S TRUE!!!

Wanted to thank you for ranting the other day about Glenn Beck. I had never watched or listened to him until Wednesday. Watched him again Thursday.
ReplyDeleteHe keeps it simple and uses props, but his reasoning is backed up by facts, and he has a lot of common sense. He sure is exposing the communists!
Thanks again for drawing attention to Americans who are exposing the commies.
And thanks for exposing that Rachel Madcow. How uninformed can one person be? She really has no viewers, and your links show why.
.
So, you watched that clip, and concluded that she's simply wrong? Do you believe the series of things she aired that conservatives believe? What did she get wrong?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I'm aware that Rachel's show isn't as highly rated as anything on FOX. But FOX itself is beaten by Spongebob Squarepants. Ratings alone are no indicator of quality programming. But just FYI:
Last night's RM show, first run: 1.326 million; second run: 528 thousand (Source: TVNewser). Plus the third run, online viewers and timeshifted DVR viewers like me. Small potatoes by FOX standards, perhaps, but hardly "no viewers." And it's a damned sight better than FOX Business Channel:
Vanity Fair's Matt Pressman wrote last November that "it's fairly safe to assume" that "most of its shows fall short of attracting 35,000 viewers," or roughly one-tenth of CNBC's audience and a hundredth of SpongeBob SquarePants'. (MMFA)
Glad you're enjoying Beck. Enjoy life in the right-wing media bubble!
So, sofa likes Glenn Beck, because he keeps it "simple". Why is that not surprising. Truth be known, for the audience he attracts, he has to keep it simple.
ReplyDeleteGNOP, I don't know if you're a new friend, or an old friend. But I'm digging your responses! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks James, I'm new to the your site, just found it a couple days ago. You run a very enlightened blog and it's a pleasure to read it.
ReplyDeleteGNOP, English must not be your first language, to misinterpret what was written that way. Or maybe it was deliberately misinterpretted?
