Quote of the Day
posted at 9:55 pm on October 23, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
“Let me be precise here: Fox News peddles a fair amount of hateful crap. Some of it borders on sedition. Much of it is flat out untrue. …
“If the problem is broader–that Fox News spreads seditious lies to its demographic sliver of an audience–the Administration should probably be stoic: the wingnuts will always be with us. The best antidote to their garbage is elegant, intelligent governance.”

Well, again, I loved my teaparty. And I can’t stand to watch Beck.
So if he’s a “standard” bearer, you’re in deep doo-doo. LOL*
I can’t ever see me watching him, frankly. He’s just too …..too!
I like a bit of savvy.
Now, Tapper, Rove, even Buchanan……they are interesting to me.
Not Beck. He’s like the guy whom I turned down for a date in high school.
Sorry. I’m not ever going to like that one.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 12:52 AM
Not at all. Santelli was the first one to really mention tea parties on TV (though others had already started planning some before that). You can probably find lots of references to having tea parties in the Hotair comments before Santelli’s rant about it. Fox was the only station that didn’t ignore them and that reported on them as any other news outlet would have normally reported on such demonstrations. The difference was that the other otulets were ignoring them or actively attacking them – as with that classic CNN piece where the lady reporter was arguing to the tea partier that he was getting $400 from the stimulus and should be happy. That difference is pretty friggin’ stark. Fox was professional about the tea parties.

pap smear = president approved propaganda attack on FOX News.
keep the change on October 24, 2009 at 12:52 AM
Yeah? Well I wish they would start doing it instead of talking about it.
Guardian on October 24, 2009 at 12:55 AM
Totally off topic but there is no suitable place to post this. I just thought it was disgusting enough to share, a stunning indictment of the left in Britain. A former government adviser for the Labour Party has admitted that “huge increases in immigration over the past decade were a deliberate attempt to engineer a more multicultural Britain.”
Here’s the stinker:
I predict that the Labour Party is going to get the shock of its life in the next British election.
Sharke on October 24, 2009 at 12:55 AM
That was my take.
But I sure didn’t know about the Beck round-up in Texas.
No wonder the liberals go nuts.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 12:55 AM
New FOX news promo, “We don’t report the news!! We create the news”
disillusioned on October 24, 2009 at 12:55 AM
Get a brain. “Kowtow”? Are you rally this stupid? How about not directing the Executive arm of the feral government against a private entity whose speech they don’t like, but can’t point out any factual problems with? The Precedent should be impeached over this abuse of power. He is insane.
You would be more at home in Venezuela or Cuba. You should move.
progressoverpeace on October 24, 2009 at 12:56 AM
Well, exactly. My teaparty was one of the first ignored ones. That annoyed me.
But creating them?
Hey, that’s not journalism. That’s activism, using your program to do it.
I won’t defend that.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 12:57 AM
Alas, this conversation has really cemented my opinion that Beck is dangerous.
He has no business creating news.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 12:58 AM
Beck is opinion, you blithering idiot. Fox News covered the Tea Parties professionally, while your neo-Pravda media toed the feral government line and made pretend nothing was happening. Go to Venezuela already, you scumbag.
progressoverpeace on October 24, 2009 at 1:02 AM
Meanwhile, the democrats/WH continue their agenda while everyone else talks about Fox News. The health care battle carries on BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, dispite a promise by Obama that it would be out in the open. OH and now this:
Has anyone even heard or seen anything about this vote?!
http://www.tradingmarkets.com/.site/news/Stock%20News/2599000/
Maxine Waters leads charge along with Democrats to give ACORN regulatory authority over financial institutions!
What in God’s name is going on in this country? The fact that Waters has any role in OUR government is a crime and shame in its self, but for these votes to happen with out anyone saying a peep is an outrage. How in the hell can they do this with investigations ongoing into ACORN?
Im going to lose my mind. What other things have they been doing while we werent paying attention? Just how much bull are these liberal anti-American fools going to shove through this year?
bucsox79 on October 24, 2009 at 1:02 AM
Three words that are the complete opposite of the Chicago city hall that has moved to the White House.
How dumb are these liberal commentators??
rockmom on October 24, 2009 at 1:03 AM
Because liberalism needs the rage in order to survive near the sunlight.
If anybody cares to notice its the lefties having a meltdown over Fox, Conservatives know full well the other MSM networks don’t have an honest news bone between them and other than pointing out their lack of integrity, Conservatives don’t care, that’s you libs problem, we don’t have to watch but that’s not good enough.
Democrats need something to blame for their own short comings, something to distract from their many faux pas’. Fox is just the latest of these remarkably stupid manifestations. Stupid because after the many previous faux pas rage’s the blame Fox regime will fail and backfire like so many others have.
Democrats can’t live and let live and failure is the nature of that game.

When he got Van Jones fired, that was creating news. When we have a feral government running wild, all truth that gets publicized will “create news”. That’s the nature of the situation.
progressoverpeace on October 24, 2009 at 1:05 AM
So now you agree with my first comment after previously objecting to it?
disillusioned on October 24, 2009 at 1:07 AM
I think these problems are those of abundance. The reality is that we’ll spend the next few decades sorting it out.
But it’s only been because we’ve had such abundance.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 1:07 AM
You’re always willing to prove that you’re a bigger idiot than anyone previously thought. Keep up the good work …
progressoverpeace on October 24, 2009 at 1:07 AM
He didn’t create it. He exposed it.
Connie on October 24, 2009 at 1:09 AM
LOL. Dumber with every comment. Amazing, really.
progressoverpeace on October 24, 2009 at 1:10 AM
No, that’s not the type of reaction I mean. I mean, sending out e-mails to gin up support for the march in WA.
That’s activism. And that really is not journalism at all.
I frankly didn’t know that was going on. I defended the march over and over against complaints that was going on.
I’m rather disappointed to learn that it was actually going on.
That’s wrong. That will bring down journalistic standards.
Sorry, but Beck is dangerous. He can’t pull that junk and be on-air.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 1:10 AM
Yes.
Connie on October 24, 2009 at 1:11 AM
Well, I am taking at word that Texas was “roused” by e-mails from him.
That could be a lie.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 1:11 AM
Academia is a bubble. But don’t forget, so is a small town. I know. I grew up in one. *haha
We have a lot of small bubbles bumping into one another.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 1:13 AM
I don’t know how old you are, but journalistic standards disappeared 20 years ago.
Connie on October 24, 2009 at 1:14 AM
Are you aware that Beck states over and over again, almost every show I’ve ever watched, that he is not a journalist and should never be confused with one.
elduende on October 24, 2009 at 1:14 AM
He has an opinion show. The 9-12 project was well-known and out in the open. Please.
What are you talking about? Do you think a march with over a million people just happens out of nowhere? Don’t be silly.
?? You’re just babbling, now.
That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. What the hell are you talking about? Like I said Ann, you had a moment a while ago, but it’s long gone. You have some sort of rules for on-air personalities? I mean, I have no idea what you think you are addressing. You sound kind of crazy.
progressoverpeace on October 24, 2009 at 1:15 AM
Okay, I’ve got an open ear here. Explain to me why the WH is obligated to kowtow, yes “kowtow”, to FOX News.
disillusioned on October 24, 2009 at 1:18 AM
OK, he’s an opinion-maker.
But then, don’t expect anyone to defend him on journalistic standards.
And give up the notion that teaparties are “grass-roots.”
Frankly, Obama comes out looking good after this discussion. It is wrong.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 1:18 AM
Yes & no. I also grew up in a small town. But I have lived in several large cities in the midwest and I’m a Yank who spent a few years in the South as well. Regional thought is disappearing, but academian thought remains the same.
Connie on October 24, 2009 at 1:19 AM
How is this babbling?
Anyway, I will avoid defending in the future. I get it now.
I was guilty of being a bit naive, that’s all. I really thought the teaparties were grass-roots.
My bad.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 1:20 AM
What the heck do academics have to do with discussion?
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 1:21 AM
ROFLMAO! I swear to everyone, I’m not paying this guy to be my straight-man. He’s doing this of his own accord.
This is the comment he seems unable to understand:
Someone help this disillusioned idiot out.
progressoverpeace on October 24, 2009 at 1:22 AM
Well, let’s see. I was going to respond to one of your posts that you really sounded like you were losing the argument…until I saw the babbling post, so I’ll go with that one. You are really making little sense now.
Connie on October 24, 2009 at 1:24 AM
Heh, sedition hunh? I was wondering how long it would be the progressives trotted that one out again. Historically, it has been their knee-jerk reaction to any dissent.
The original progressive (in reality the code word fascism) that occupied the oval was Woodrow Wilson he made great use of sedition laws to lock up all opposition. I suspect that the tyrannical impluse that led Wilson to say,
“Conformity will be the only virtue and any man who refuses to conform will have to pay the penalty.”
…will soon become ever more apparent in the current occupant of that office.
Like Obama imparted on the campaign trail, one need only look at those he surrounds himself with to gauge who he is. Ther is no shortage amonst his minions who openly sing their praises of adoration of sinister despots like zmao, Chavez, Che and Castro. The type of people that lionize monsters such as these, and knowing that imitation is the highest form flattery, their desire to mimic their idols is only natural.
Yes Mr. Precedent I agree, whom you surround yourself with, both in the past and present, speak volumes as to how we should assess your character. Quite frankly, it is all together disturbing.
Birds of a feather and all that.
Archimedes on October 24, 2009 at 1:24 AM
Well, I’m horribly disappointed to learn that Beck actually tried to create news with the March.
I really gave him more credit than, apparently, he was due.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 1:24 AM
Oy. You are infuriating. Beck is an ON-AIR personality. Do you understand what that is? He is not a newsman.
Double oy. You don’t know what “grass-roots” are. The Tea Parties were pure grass roots. You seem to have some ridiculous notion of spontaneous demonstrations, where people just happen to show up at the same place at the same time, out of nowhere.
That’s insane. Sheer insanity.
progressoverpeace on October 24, 2009 at 1:25 AM
That’s fine by me.
If you support this type of journalism, we really don’t have much meeting ground.
That’s PR.
And Obama is right.
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 1:26 AM
F%$king typos again!
Archimedes on October 24, 2009 at 1:26 AM
I’m really getting sick of people defending this sh*t. Seriously, virtually no one on the left can admit that the Obama White House barring Fox News from an interview was wrongheaded. They twist themselves into a pretzel trying to defend the White Houses actions. At first I thought the whole thing was cute. Oh sure, they’re trying to mock Fox News. Nobody cares. Now it’s getting just plain ridiculous. It really is Nixonian, and I don’t like to use that term lightly. Where is John Dean when you need him? Oh yeah, I forgot. He’s busy comparing Watergate to wiretapping suspected terrorists. Silly me! :)
NathanG on October 24, 2009 at 1:27 AM
lol! That’s a good question. Why don’t you ask the academian elistists who think Obama is the cat’s meow? ;)
Connie on October 24, 2009 at 1:27 AM
I have enjoyed Rush L. for years. He’s never pulled this kind of stunt.
Come on, he sends out e-mails?
That’s slime tactics.

Very true. Wow! We agree on something.

elduende on October 24, 2009 at 1:29 AM
Ummm…he doesn’t send out emails to people unless they request them. Unlike Obama.
Connie on October 24, 2009 at 1:31 AM
Seriously, Beck cannot be sending out e-mails to gin up support and then report on his effort as though it’s news.
That is simply wrong, folks.
But anyway, you defend him if you wish.
I learned something tonight that will keep my mouth shut and my fingers calm.
He really is an activist.
*blech*
AnninCA on October 24, 2009 at 1:31 AM
Say what? lol!
Connie on October 24, 2009 at 1:33 AM
AnninCa has strict requirements to get the “grass-roots” certification. No one can be in any communication with anyone else until the moment of the protest. And she is scared by emails from on-air personalities. Whoa!
She’s sounding like an Axelrod tool, at this point.

Archimedes on October 24, 2009 at 1:33 AM
Well, anyway, I never liked Beck.
This confirms my opinion.
Man, what a nutjob.
I’ll take Rove, even Cheney, for my conservative news.
But you guys have truly convinced me……avoid Beck.
You just jump down into his pit and wallow around.
But I suggest that you’re mucking up and it will lead to real consequences.
News pundits should NOT create news.
They should lose their credentials even as pundits when they do so.
And this discussion has done more to support Obama than any I have seen in 2 days.
If some of you don’t get why Beck can’t create the news to report on it, then I’m sorry for you.
But I won’t post anything ever again defending Fox.
I see that Obama actually was making a good point that supports the free press.
You guys don’t. You just want to win.

OK, out here.
I’ve learned a bit I didn’t want to learn.
I had no idea that Beck was involved in creating the teaparty march.
I’m terribly disappointed.

I’m no “Constitutional Scholar,” but sedition isn’t protected by the First Amendment, is it? It’s not protected because it directly threatens the Republic.
So Fox News must be silenced for the good of the Republic.

I live in the DFW area and I found out about our teaparties online. I saw Beck at the San Antonio TP on tv but to think he singlehandedly organized the TPs? Ummm…that’s stretching it. I saw normal Americans, coming out because they’re scared, angry, concerned. Say what you want, Ann but you insult alot of honest, hardworking Americans when you say crap like: give up the notion that teaparties are “grass-roots.” For my family, our neighborhood, it was grassroots. Spread by word of mouth.
Annietxgrl on October 24, 2009 at 1:51 AM
But what happens when the “slander” is the truth?
Connie on October 24, 2009 at 1:51 AM
Fox News isn’t that bad. Bill O’Reilly and Greta Van Susteren are actually quite good. If you want the “variety comedy hour,” go watch Ed Schultz and Keith Olbermann lose their minds over at MSNBC. :)

Holy freaking sheet!
I think I will join you in losing my mind!
lovingmyUSA on October 24, 2009 at 1:54 AM
No one is asking them to bow down to any news organization, just to show a little respect for free debate and a modicum of dignity and refrain from trying to intimidate a free press like they thought this was Venezuela. That shouldn’t be too much to expect.
MB4 on October 24, 2009 at 1:56 AM
And the Obama White House is not “bowing down” to anything. They have a right to free speech in saying that Fox News is opinion, not news. That’s their opinion. I just happen to disagree with it. I can move on from that. Excluding Fox News from interviews and trying to marginalize them is just plain stupid. They’re showing how jerky they really are. Or how stupid.

Johan Klaus on October 24, 2009 at 2:17 AM
Ann, I really had hopes for you, but I see you have regressed and I honestly feel there is no hope for you. I will say it once–maybe you should be taking notes.
Beck did not create the tea parties. That is a grass roots event started by a woman who heard Rick Santori speak about it.
Beck created the 912 project inviting like minded people that wanted to get back to the way the country felt the day after 9/11 when we were all united behind America. People formed groups and organized the march. Beck did not appear at the march.
Beck sends out emails about his programs–they are like newsletters. Just like other people that have their own programs…
He is not a journalist. He is a man with a mission to expose the threat to our liberty and freedom. He would be doing this even if it were a republican president. He just has so much more to work with, being it is Obama.
He is dangerous only to you liberals, as he is exposing the coruption and thuggery that is the Whinehouse. Michelle has tried, in her blog and in her book “Culture of Corruption”, but Beck reaches more people. They both have the same goal–to inform us as to what is happening in our government.
Man, I actually thought that you had reached the level of thoughtful discourse…we were warned last night that you would do this…

She always begins sounding soooo reasonable and calm, then it deteriorates rapidly into slobbering insanity.

The progressives or liberals or Obama-puppets, whoever they are… fascists really… just keep repeating the same stuff. Over and over and over again. They really have nothing. Absolutely nothing. Accusations and insinuations. That’s it. That’s all they’ve got. So entirely disingenuous it’s beyond their comprehension to realize they’ve got nothing.
Griz on October 24, 2009 at 2:22 AM
Ann, you support national socialized health care. The Tea Parties were in direct opposition to people like you. It is because of poeple like you that there had to be Tea Parties.
progressoverpeace on October 24, 2009 at 2:25 AM
Not really much of a TV watcher. I’ll occasionally watch Olbermann’s Worst Person in the World bit. More than likely that if I do watch, I usually try to catch Shep Smith. I’m not one for the opinion news analysis shows.

Dunno, I try to bypass all the trollish posts while I’m lurking. Yesterday, Ann had a decent post about her thoughts on why Sarah Palin left office. I really thought she was a PUMA, like minded on somethings but not on others, but common in our fight against BO. She really lost it.
mmmm mmmm mmmm indeed. Geez, at first I thought, wow, she’s really upset. Then after reading her other posts, clearly she got the “info” she was looking for and scooted out quick. She certainly has a you-know-what-on for Glenn Beck, doesn’t she?

Thanks for laying out your observations on Anninca. My head was going ’round in circles trying to follow her reasoning throughout this thread. She started out being a enthusiastic participant, supporter, and righteous defender of teaparties. She ended up being a naive disillusioned victim of Beck’s unscrupulous manipulations in “creating” the teaparties, which she will never defend again. Her conclusion? Obama is right about Fox News!
If nothing else, Anninca is a world class flip-flopping mental case.

Did you have a lot to drink before you went online? Because you really didn’t make any sense at all.
Beck started the 9/12 project which brought people together and those people of their own accord planned the tea parties… I believe the name came from a guy on CNBC… then because the tea parties were a huge huge news story Fox covered the story.
And they did a good job. And Beck champions the bravery of these people who heretofore have not protested…
And unlike the astroturf protesters of the Democratic party who get paid and have factory made signs and get free transportation….
I see why you find grassroots such a hard concept. It is so foreign to the left. All of your grassroots is orchestrated…

You’ve got that right! BTW, my husband wants to get me this huge elephant gun, comes in a nifty yellow case, with a compass, blah blah blah; I said, you’re crazy! Leave me the shotgun, I’ll “chamber” a round and then hit the Acorn thug who comes to the door over the head with it…after inviting him in, of course. : )

Except for the fact that doesn’t even come close to how ratings are determined. Try again.
