The Roman Empire would have mercilessly crucified Santa and all his Elves. We merely enslaved and sold them off to Keebler where today they work in heartless cookie factories worthy of the literary talents of Upton Sinclair. Enjoy some with your tea today! #barackobama
According to the boyfriend to whom she sent the sex videos, there are about 15 to 20 of them. And, as he put it, they "poured in" over a time from when she was 19 until after her 21st birthday. She can't explain this away as a one time mistake. With that many videos, she must really like "performing" on camera. According to the ex-BF, she had recently asked him to lie about her age during the time the videos were created, wanting him to say she was 17. Her hope was to prevent the release of the tapes by trying to classify them as child porn.
Now, close your eyes . . . imagine that it's 2013. Instead of Carrie and Larry, it's President Sarah Palin admonishing a White House correspondent for asking "inappropriate questions" as to why we need to send 40,000 more troops to Iran. #carrieprejean
Ummm, there's a difference between an attitude of impartiality (I said attitude, not reality) and the kind of insipid, myopic, opinion poll-obsessed, non-analytical, 24-Hour news-cycle-mongering crap that CNN pedals. Of which John King is, well, the King.
That, my friends, is why CNN is unwatchable these days. They can't take a stand or offer in-depth analysis of any kind whatsoever. If Satan himself crawled out of a flaming pit of brimstone in the middle of Times Square, they'd get a panel of pundits on to discuss how it might affect Obama's approval numbers, how this is going to affect the healthcare debate, and whether the Devil was upset because Michelle Obama showed too much of her arms. #cnn
John King may be a little more mild-mannered and less outspoken than Lou Dobbs, but he's no less of a raging conservative internally. He was absolutely incredulous during the campaign when it seemed like nothing McCain was doing was gaining any traction; he couldn't believe it. And he outright refused to believe CNN's own polls about who won the debates; he flat-out said not to pay any attention to those polls because they clearly did not reflect his own point of view of what had happened. (The polls turned out to be right, btw, and were supported by other polls taken by other organizations... not to mention the election itself.)
He obviously tries to temper his conservatism for what he sees as his duty as a journalist, and that's nice I guess, but on the other hand I'd rather have what I'm dealing with out in the open. There's nothing worse than bias that's not obvious enough for most people to catch, but that nevertheless can affect the public's perceptions of things. Until now, John King was not in a position to have much of an effect, but he will be now. #cnn
@badasscat: I agree with all you said. But I'm not worried about him having an "effect" - he's thick as a brick for one thing. Too much of a company man to rock any boat. As odd as it sounds, if you're going to be spreading bile like Beck or Dobbs, you need to know what dangerous game you're playing. King is not bright enough, he has no originality or ideas of his own. CNN wants to position itself as "centrist"- which of course means, heavily Republican with one dirty hippie thrown in as a punching bag. King won't be much different from the rest of the Beltway crowd. #cnn
I expect to soon see Lou Dobbs reporting live, and fully armed, from a northward bend of the Rio Grande, probably with a Fox News logo behind his big fat head and a toll-free number for Eugenicists-4-Freedom crawling across the bottom of his bottom-feeding screen. #cnn
Typical US Fundie, talk all kinds of s**t, and when someone asks them a certain type of question, they yell about how they are being attacked for being a "Christian". #carrieprejean
