Comments on: Video and Audio: O’Reilly tackles Akon; MM and Laura Ingraham blast the NYT’s Akon misreporting

Jane Hall nailed it. Imus got outed because people could hear what he said…Akon, and the rest of his ilk get to pull a slide because no self respecting media outlet can publish what is actually the subject matter of the debate.

O’Reilly sets up the scenario about Mr. Goldberg and Ms. Hall going to the NY Times to enquire, but he comes up with a weak-kneed question. The question that would embarrass the Times is why they didn’t publish the the lyrics in question.

It’s unanswerable.

That Ingraham audio is pretty skippy and poppy as I listen to it. Good, but poppy. Anyone else, or is it just me?

The best way to defeat some of these leftists, is to point a finger at them and laugh. What they do is so ridiculous sometimes you just can’t respond with anything but ridicule. Such is the stoic NYT calling Michelle a Fillipino Firecracker (and the whole story line before and after). You just point your finger at the mess and laugh. I can’t believe that JaHerer22 did not know that. It was several days of Michelle ridiculing the NYT’s, Ja…never misses the beat when he thinks the liberal press has the upper hand, but magically he misses this when they make a fool of themselves. Whenever the left goofs, Jahere22, Honora, and others fade into the background, they just never seem to remember how foolish the left is and how often that is.
Like I posted earlier, either JaHerer22 is lying or he is just plain stupid.

all good but,
O’reilly pronounces Michelle’s last name funny.

or is it pronounced Maaaaaaaalkin?

I would think it’s pronounced the way Michelle pronounces it at the beginning of every episode of Vent.

You guys who have such a problem with this need to develop a sense of the ironic along with a sense of humor.

Laura Ingraham said,

“Michelle’s not afraid of anybody. That’s why I like her!”

AMEN Laura! And playing the song “Michelle” by the Beatles at the end of the segment was just perfect!

I wasn’t aware of the “Filipina Firecracker” story so I guess it makes a little more sense now. For a casual observer though it seems like she is endorising them.

There is a reason why the old saying “I don’t care what they say about me…as long as they spell my name right” still means something today.

The NYT does’t get the humour, or the irony. They DO get the free advertising. They can point to MM or HA and say “See how important we are? We are the still the highest standard! Even while they ridicule us, they still yearn for our attentions.”

By: Bryan

Bryan — Fri, 11 May 2007 17:57:45 +0000

It’s more than a little ironic. It’s imprudent. It’s ill-advised…

It’s ironic, because the Times chose to call her a “Filipina firecracker” instead of just taking her on her own merits. Why bring up ethnicity? The link is meant to shame them, though it’s impossible to shame the Old Gray Lady of the Evening anymore. You guys who have such a problem with this need to develop a sense of the ironic along with a sense of humor.

What is that supposed to mean, anyway?

Isn’t it a little ironic Michelle constantly bashes the New York Times, questions their credibility and even their patriotism, yet apparently finds them respectable and important enough to use their blurb to plug herself at the very top of her site?

It’s more than a little ironic. It’s imprudent. It’s ill-advised, and I’ve said as much in messages to her. The problem of bashing the NYT and AP as purveyors of deliberately distorted news one day and quoting them or excerpting their dispatches on other items should be an obvious conflict of standards.

I advise her and HA to shun them both. Stop linking to their content; stop taking their ads dollars; do not buy newstand copies or (!) subscribe. Pay attention to them ONLY when you are pointing out their blatant left-wing bias and to otherwise have fun at their expense.

She never said they were respectful, but she does know they are important. The NYT’s still have a powerful postition in the MSM.
Funny how you always mistate other peoples position, is that because you are a liar, or not very smart?

The irony is that the NYT in their effort to ignore the facts and people who, in this instance, are trying to bring some civil responsibility to the music industry and those who sponsor it have by not crediting those very people, have in fact provided more fodder for Michelle and Laura to profit and self promote.

The other ironic fact is by doing this the NYT demonstrates Michelle is right to bash them for their credibility and patriotism.

Just sayin…
