Oh, I just love this.

Award-winning journalist John Stossel is joining FOX News Channel and FOX Business Network.

Stossel, best known for his work as co-anchor of ABC News’ “20/20,” will anchor “Stossel,” a weekly program on FOX Business Network, and make regular appearances on FOX News Channel, it was announced Thursday.

Up next may be Joe Scarborough, unless he decides to run for President in 2012.

I’m not surprised about this, the liberal kool-aid drinking left will go to no end in their attempts to try and destroy someone.

They attempt to make it look like a legitimate web site, but if you note the last entry at the bottom of the site:

Notice: This site is parody/satire. We assume Glenn Beck did not rape and murder a young girl in 1990, although we haven’t yet seen proof that he didn’t.

What a bunch of asshats.

It’s no wonder that mainstream media is losing it’s grasp as a source for news. Frank Gray proved that today in his column, “Twitter on edge of useless.”

People didn’t research issues. Voters relied on what came to be called sound bites – 10-, 15-second quotes tossed out by officeholders or candidates. The contents of these sparse lines were all that much of the public knew about important issues, and they were what they used to form opinions.

ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA; NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE

Tue Jun 16 2009 08:45:10 ET

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care — a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Highlights on the agenda:

ABCNEWS anchor Charlie Gibson will deliver WORLD NEWS from the Blue Room of the White House.

The network plans a primetime special — ‘Prescription for America’ — originating from the East Room, exclude opposing voices on the debate.

Late Monday night, Republican National Committee Chief of Staff Ken McKay fired off a complaint to the head of ABCNEWS:

Dear Mr. Westin:

As the national debate on health care reform intensifies, I am deeply concerned and disappointed with ABC’s astonishing decision to exclude opposing voices on this critical issue on June 24, 2009. Next Wednesday, ABC News will air a primetime health care reform “town hall” at the White House with President Barack Obama. In addition, according to an ABC News report, GOOD MORNING AMERICA, WORLD NEWS, NIGHTLINE and ABC’s web news “will all feature special programming on the president’s health care agenda.” This does not include the promotion, over the next 9 days, the president’s health care agenda will receive on ABC News programming.

Thank God a Georgia college student had the good sense to save his friends lives.

 How much you wanna bet this NEVER get’s a mention in any major newscast or newspaper?  The only way this would be newsworthy to the MSM is if the kid DIDN’T have a gun and the thugs massacred the students. Then it would fit the medias’ anti 2nd ammendment agenda.

Instead, the good guys win, so it’s no news here, move along, nothing to see here. But Barry and Joe are gettin’ a cheeseburger, let’s send out a news crew!!!

Frickin’ pathetic.

       Calling an illegal alien an
      “undocumented immigrant”
      is like calling a drug dealer
      an “unlicensed pharmacist.”

Kind of sums it up, now doesn’t it?

Times disses Al film as convenient stretch of truth
By Herald staff
Tuesday, March 13, 2007 – Updated: 01:37 AM EST

http://news.bostonherald.com/national/view.bg?articleid=188169The New York Times [NYT] fires a shot today at Al Gore and his Academy Award-winning global warming film, “An Inconvenient Truth,” saying it involves “hype” and shoddy science. 

“Hollywood has a thing for Al Gore and his three-alarm film . . . So do many environmentalists, who praise him as a visionary, and many scientists, who laud him for raising public awareness,” the Times reports. “But part of his scientific audience is uneasy . . . these scientists argue that some of Mr. Gore’s central points are exaggerated and erroneous.”

Wow, the New York Times says so?

 Now ain’t that a bitch?

 Ok, maybe I am nit-picking.  Maybe not.  Maybe its just the blogger in me looking for something to blog about.  But I read the news online everyday.  I have noticed recently many headlines in the Journal Gazette about Kosciusko.  It is as if Kosciusko is being referred to as a town.  Warsaw is the county seat in Kosciusko County, but there is no local town named Kosciusko.

Reference the following headlines from the Journal Gazette in recent days.

Overdose deaths jump in Kosciusko – Published on February 23, 2007, Page 1A, Journal Gazette, The (Fort Wayne, IN)

Alleged video voyeur nabbed in Kosciusko – Published on February 28, 2007, Page 1C, Journal Gazette, The (Fort Wayne, IN)

Kosciusko shooter gets prison term of 10 years – Published on March 2, 2007, Page 1A, Journal Gazette, The (Fort Wayne, IN)

Provisional tax bills likely in Kosciusko – Published on February 21, 2007, Page 4C, Journal Gazette, The (Fort Wayne, IN)

Bus with 16 kids hit in Kosciusko – Published on February 16, 2007, Page 2C, Journal Gazette, The (Fort Wayne, IN)

Get the idea?  I don’t see any headlines that simply say Allen, Whitley, Wells, Steuben, Dekalb, etc.  They are always followed by county or specifically state the town like Fort Wayne, Columbia City, Bluffton, Angola, Auburn, etc.

 Today is the second and last day for the WBTU 17th annual radiothon for the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis. Several years ago I was listening to the radiothon and was reduced to tears.  I became a partner in hope in honor of my healthy children.

  The following summer my cousin’s daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. She directly benefited from the research work done at St. Jude’s through Riley’s Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis. The little girl fully recovered from her leukemia.  Something I would not have been able to tell you several years ago.

One of the happiest days was when my cousin’s daughter and my daughter, who are the same age, played as opponents in a basketball game.  The girls had the opening tip off and to see the two of them healthy and happy enjoying a good rivalry game of basketball had each and every one of us adult family members in tears in the stands. 

St. Jude has ever since been my passion.  The years that I worked for WBTU found me doing everything that I could to make the annual radioathon a success. It not only benefits the children who are there who are very ill, but the research that is completed touches each and every one of us in our lives, somehow, someway.  Do what you can to help!

Gore says media miss climate message
Journalists have leaned toward balance at expense of consensus data, he says
http://www.dicksonherald.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070228/NEWS01/702280434/1297/MTCN02

“I think if it is important to look at the pressures that made it more likely than not that mainstream journalists in the United States would convey a wholly inaccurate conclusion about the most important moral, ethical, spiritual and political issue humankind has ever faced.”

Seriously, I think Tipper locks him in the garage with the car running at night. My guess is it’s a hybrid which explains why he’s just deranged and not comatose.
