    They also announced layoffs of 20% of the staff at Sesame Street today. Tragic. #newsweek

    the video evidence isn't just obvious - it's obnoxious. the fact that Fox still parades as a news organization is only outweighed by the millions of americans who watch/believe/devote-lives-to Hannity's and Fox's programs #seanhannity

    You know, as much as I appreciated Newsweek's attempt to get out of the news-weekly format before it was beyond dead and buried (I mean, come on, other than Time's man of the year issue, who in the world has picked up a newsweekly since, um 1996?)

    But their idea to make themselves more abbreviated economist was, well, really boring.

    Anyway, sad for the 13 staffers. Though I'd hope anyone at a newsweekly would have their resumes very well polished and posted at the appropriate job sites. #newsweek

    Did anyone watch the Michael Moore interview with Hannity? He pulled the same bullshit. They were talking about health care (even tho the topic was ostensibly his Capitalism movie) and how it was better, or more accessible in Cuba. Sean ran some footage of what looked like an abandoned building (ie: there were no patients/doctors walking around, just dirty empty rooms) and tried to pass it off as a hospital. Moore just started cracking up and calling him out. Hannity promptly changed the subject.

    here's some video

    My wonderful but politically misguided father got me a subscription to the Times a couple of years ago, and I always enjoyed reading the batshit insane headlines before chucking it into the trash. But! You also get the FREE perk of being put on every god damn freeper mailing list in existence, and my neighbors probably think I'm some sort of ex-pat militia member at this point. Damn you, Moon! #washingtontimes

    Are we still operating under the assumption that the Washington Post is the liberal opposition to the Times? The WaPo (or maybe just the editorial page) seems like it's positioning itself to fill the neo-con void and I'm more than prepared to completely ignore their bullshit as well. The Weekend is still pretty legit but otherwise, the cord is nearly cut. #washingtontimes

    I was at an event at the Council on Foreign Relations ( John Kerry) and it was opened up to questions. Reporters were sitting in the back. Except one, Barbara Slavin from the Washington Times. She was sitting with that awful Congresswoman Harman. I noticed it because all the other questions came from the back. Even stranger was Congresswoman Harman asking Sen.Kerry a question as well as if she couldn't kick with him on the Hill. It was very odd because she asked her question (really 3) after it was announced that these would be the last questions taken. I put her in my Moonie category that day. #washingtontimes

    @Go Like Hell Machine: Sorry, I will try to explain it without any shortcuts. I went to an event at the council on foreign relations in DC. John Kerry was speaking , he had just gotten back from Afghanistan. The reporters were all sitting in the back , they had to. It was marked media. The room was small. All the questions came from the back, except this one lady Barbara Slavin who got up to ask the question, but she wasn't in the media section . She was sitting next to Democrat Congresswoman Harman. The Washington Times has been quite supportive of Harman through her possibly criminal involvement with those Israeli spies. i know this is really confusing. My point was that no other media- there were some heavy hitters there- sat in anywhere near the front. The second weird thing was Harman asking Sen. Kerry a question , like a reporter would. The mediator said these will be the last 3 questions and Harman raised her hand. She then asked 3 questions in one, they were not friendly questions either. I thought it was odd since I am assuming as Democrats in foreign relations committees albeit in 2 different houses of congress, she could ask him whatever questions she wanted at some other time. I think those questions were for the benefit of the Washington Times. I hope this makes some sense #washingtontimes

    I've actually wondered that because there aren't as many people becoming Moonies as there were before, replenishing his coffers, how long the Rev would continue to drain his fortune. #washingtontimes

    @Magister: I wrote a book about this. It turns out the Moonies are doing just fine in the cash department, mostly by separating Japanese widows from their cash. Google "spiritual sales."

    @lanthewignom:
    It's been so long since I've met any Moonies and television cults have gone all Waco, I figured that after the market crash, he'd be running out of funds.

    I didn't think about globalization and how it could bolster religious empires. One world, indeed. Thanks.

    I sense some oncoming righteous indignation.

    His main point will be that it doesn't matter when the footage was from (they labeled all of it "earlier" and it was earlier!), what matters is that 50,000 people turned out and goddammit if Jon Stewart isn't an unAmerican terrorist jew bastard if he questions the will of the people! #seanhannity
