Helen Thomas Shocks Us By Acting Like A Real Journalist

This you've got to watch!
It’s about time someone spoke up; it’s just very surprising to hear that it’s Helen Thomas. Though, I suspect that if the Obama was up there for a "press conference", she may not be so incline to speak up but did so because it’s Gibbs, a man who has the ability to be annoying without even saying a word! What a skill! Now that’s not to say that he isn’t annoying when he does speak because then his “talent” shall I say goes from a skill to some sort of supa-power! I’ve never heard him say anything worthwhile. While others were predicting when the Obama would let him go because of his foolish answers, I was crediting the Obama for his selection in Gibbs. While I do not believe it’s right, he is obviously doing the job that the Obama wants him to do. Stand up there, waste time, say absolutely nothing, make up random things, and spin in circles so by the end of the brief, they are so confused they can barely make it out of the room! Yes, he seems to accomplish this every time!
In fact, I would bet that Gibbs himself is not briefed before the conferences and that way, he literally can’t answer a question. I mean that’s got to be part of it because his press conferences leave you asking for a REFUND!


This time I must praise Mrs. Thomas for actually performing her duty and responsibility as a Journalist. Ask those tough questions!
Go ahead...get it!

Obama's Burger With Dijon Mustard | Mmm

I heard about Obama's visit to a local hamburger joint in Virginia with good ol' Joe (Joe Biden that is) earlier today as I’m sure everyone did considering how important the media thinks this information is. In any case, I just want to know what restaurant he went to! The whole mustard...grey poupon, Dijon, spicy mustard thing is not a big deal to me. It’s not half as bad as the time he cried out about the high price of Arugula at Whole Foods! What’s the biggie? I guess it is annoying that people think he is so down to earth when evidence supports the contrary. Enough about Obama’s condiment preferences, let’s talk about me! You know, I’ve been craving a really really good burger! Funny or embarrassing, I’ll let you decide but I was on the phone with my best friend having a whole conversation about burgers just yesterday (exciting, I knoww). Mmm...Cheeseburger! Okay I am beyond embarrassed right now but hey, it’s okay to indulge every once in a while. So when I heard this story I could care less about the Dijon mustard, I care about finding out where this burger joint is! I’m not joking. I will let you know how good the burger was after!

On a different note, with as much that’s going on in our country and the world...what is wrong with the media? Why are they focusing on Obama eating a hamburger? Are you kidding me? Oh my gosh, the President eats? I did not know that! Wait, you're telling me he knew how to order? Now you’re just playing games with me. A grown man ordering by himself, and with no assistance...now that is a front page news story for sure!

Last but not least, I’m watching Hannity right now and there’s a segment called the Great American Panel where 3 guests (different views, backgrounds, etc) debate current events. Anyhow, one of the guests today is an actress that I am unfamiliar with. It’s one of those situations where you recognize someone but you’re not sure where and how! Let me just tell you, this lady is going to get her own show somewhere! She’s intelligent, different, spicy, and just gives it to you straight. Her name is Maria Conchita Alonso and I’m telling you, you’re going to hear from her again. I think Rich Lowry (one of the other guests) was just so taken back by her enthusiasm and wit, he was speechless ( and I’m sure he was also strategizing getting her to write a column for the National Review)! I guess it’s refreshing to hear from a celeb that can speak intelligently and unlike other celebs, knows from experience!

Funny or are they just crazy? You decide.

Fox Declines Obama's Request To Broadcast Press Conference

Fox network (not Fox News) has decided against broadcasting President Obama's press conference this Wednesday (April 29). Instead the network will stick to its regular schedule, showing an episode of "Lie to Me". (Which just happens to be a show that I enjoy, you should check it out! It’s really really good!)

The President's press conference will mark his first 100 days in office. Fox will alert viewers to turn to Fox News and Fox Business to watch the press conference. The other networks such as NBC, ABC, CBS will all air the address. Fox has its own news outlet so it would make sense for them to turn down the address while ABC and CBS do not. Additionally, NBC was planning on showing a rerun anyway. They also have to think of Chris Matthews, how can he get by without feeling more shivers up and down his leg? (Ew...ugh)

What’s the big deal? If you want to watch it, turn to a different channel. I could understand the importance of this press conference if Obama was announcing critical or useful information. This is his 3rd primetime conference in 100 days (that’s 3 too many). What’s more disturbing is if you count his "Non-State of the Union" address, it will be his 4th primetime interruption. Someone should let this guy know that the campaign is over! Without getting into details, the networks lose money each and every time the president decides to take up the networks time. They lose a lot of money not to mention its sweeps time!Quite honestly, I find his speeches and press conferences unbearable. Not only does he read off the teleprompter, what’s worse, the questions are made available to him in advance. Can it even be considered a press conference? It’s more of a lecture. Instead of a direct, honest answer, he stumbles around in circles for 15 min per question. Not only does he waste our money but now he wants to waste our time! When does this end? It’s completely pointless, I learn nothing and I feel dumber for having watched.

Oh and by the way, for those of you who are going to bash Fox Network, Bush had to reschedule a primetime press conference because networks refused to broadcast it during sweeps. He was even kind enough to set a time limit so the networks would be able to show their programs. It’s funny that AP forgot to mention this. I wonder why?

AP= Always Phony

Double Standard Much?

This is good...reallllll good!

Short story shorter or long story shorter (which ever way you would like to put it) a left-wing group called MoveOndotOrg held a contest where people could submit ads attacking President Bush. The video below called "Child's Play" won the contest.
Just take a look at it and let me know why these people aren't up in arms about President Obama's budget which screws my generation and several generations after out of their own hard earned money.
Where are they? Where's the opposition? The double standard is incredible. This begs the question, were they truly against the spending or against whatever President Bush did? I think their silence on our present spending situation answers that question pretty clearly! If they were sincere about being against massive debt and deficits, they would have joined the tea parties that took place on April 15th instead of joining in on attacking the attendees and calling them vulgar and distasteful names. Just another example (of many)...



Watch the video below, Redstate took over the ad and made it (how should I put)...Current!

NBC Washington DC - Bias Much?

In spite of having the lowest ratings week after week (between the cable news channels), MSNBC (along with NBC) continue to spew their left-wing talking points as if they are part of the administration. They seem to have now abandoned all principle by failing to do a proper background search to make certain that the information they put out is factually correct. The local NBC News in Washington D.C posted a video on their webpage from the Tea Party that took place on April 15th. Low and Behold the video is a PHONY and was staged by a left-wing group that has a history of engaging in this kind of garbage (remember the so called “Billionaires for Bush” nonsense)! After watching the video for less than a minute and hearing these fake protestors repeatedly shout “Lower the minimum wage”, I instantly recognized the illegitimacy of the video. I can only assume that the person who posted this video on NBC knew as well but chose to ignore that little fact considering it was most likely inconvenient to their personal views. I’ll even bet that he or she is amused by the disruption they have made.
Having taken a few journalism courses in college, I was taught that ethics are important. Once the trust is gone then your power to report the news is tarnished. If you pay attention to the previous line, I did write “report the news” because the next important thing to remember is that a journalist should always REPORT the news, not MAKE it. The worst thing you can do is BECOME the news!
So not only does NBC and MSNBC make crude and vulgar remarks about the tea party protestors being “tea baggers” (as a lady, I feel disgusting for even writing that word down) but they post a video of a counterfeit protest as the real thing. I just became aware of this story a few minutes ago but if you look at the website, there are a little less than 700 comments about the video. A lot of people have expressed anger over the fake video and yet the story is still up on their website. What’s the deal?!
Will NBC apologize for their “blunder”? Only time will tell but I suspect that their apology will fall short on sincerity. They’ll express regret for posting the wrong video and will act as innocent bystanders as if the whole thing is a "misunderstanding". Ohh Woe is me!
Well to that I say "Wahhh"…I’m switching to WJLA ABC News on Channel 7 from this point forward. Though they are an improvement (as anything compared to NBC is), it’s probably not too much better.
Oh well, what can you do?

* Update *


Apparently it has been 2 days and NBC Washington D.C has not taken the video off!

This is truly maddening! I mean at this point I should expect it but I still find it hard to believe that they would make up a story! As many videos posted on YOUTUBE by tea party attendees, they choose to post one that not only falsely represents the tea party as a whole but come to find out that the insulting video is a Phony! What happened to ethics again? Is it even a word anymore?

I'd rather not post the video on my blog but I'll post the NBC link which has the video on their page.

Mainstream Media Should Be Embarrassed

It's no surprise that the mainstream media went all gaga over Michelle Obama's trip to Britain. I am so embarrassed for them! How much more ridiculous can they sound?

"Michelle Magic"...really?
