Life. Blogged.

There are times that I wonder why the folks at MSNBC have no clue they are in last place. Yesterday, the channel devoted an entire segment to a Huffington Post blogger to discuss the recent mishaps at the Republican National Committee. Since when does the RNC or its membership talk to anyone from the HuffPost, much less one of that sites bloggers? Answer: They don't.

In THIS LINK you can read all about how even the MSNBC host admitted that a blogger, who had NO actual facts to report, went on and on demonizing Republicans and conservatives based on gossip and whispers from his own leftist friends.

Since when do leftist bloggers on sites like HuffPo (one of the most extreme sites on the web) have credibility? And since when do "news organizations" like MSNBC have these people on to report facts when the channel itself admits there are no facts? Can you imagine the outrage if Fox News had a conservative blogger come on the channel and discuss idle gossip about the Democratic National Committee? There would be outrage of tremendous magnitude. But no in this case.

Yet another reason not to watch MSNBC or browse the HuffPo. Boo and hiss to both.

The first is a quick link. The Seattle Times went out of its way (like hundreds of other news outlets) to report all the threats against Democrats. Oddly, few mentioned the threats (and the gunshots) aimed at Republicans, but that wouldn't have helped their storyline that it is only conservatives going nuts.

One the items in the Seattle paper's story Rep. Driehouse of Ohio had his window in his Cincinnati office broken. But there is a slight problem. See Driehouse's office is on the 30th floor AND a quick inquiry with his office would have revealed that such an incident had never happened.

But where is the Seattle Times' retraction? Nowhere in their pages. But you can learn the truth at this helpful link.

The other link I want to share is an opinion piece by Steve Forbes. It is about the "transformation" in the "media reform" movement.

Right now there is a push coming from the Progressive Left in an attempt to socialize American media. Now, they aren't worried about the normal things. Rather, they are worried there are not enough progressive voices (despite having ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, HLN, and 99% of newspapers favoring and championing their causes).

The reality is the American Left does not like conservatives having a voice. They are all for free speech as long as it agrees with them. These people are already using a friendly radical administration to push for the re-enactment FCC regulations that will take conservatives off the radio airwaves. They don't want to be on the radio, see; they just want those who disagree with them off the air.

The newest tactic appears to be one that has, so far, been under the radar. What is this tactic? Call it the Hugo Chavez Media Reform. This is scary stuff. But don;t think it could not happen here. Hell, Sean Penn was recently quoted as saying those who disagree with Chavez's tactics should be jailed. Then again, this is the man who said those on the right side of the aisle should die of rectal cancer. Anywho, enjoy the read.
