"activism posing as journalism is a cancer on the body politic"

Tell it to Faux News, you hypocritical idiot!

I guess when you're a right-wing shill like Parker, allowing a Democrat to appear on your show during the Democratic Convention is a BAD thing. But at least it shows you're fair.

Someone needs to send her a few clips of Matthews during the Bush years. Especially his adoration of W's codpiece.

No wonder her show was cancelled, she needs a clue!

There are studies available showing that Faux News viewers rank highly in misinformed statistics.

And Faux News instructs its talking heads with position points memos. They are directed to parrot right wing talking points.

FOXLEAKS: Bill Sammon's October Surprise
How A Top Fox Editor Tried To Tie Obama To Socialism

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2011/02/01/foxleaks-bill-sammons-october-surprise/175755



I am not aware of MSNBC top management ever being accused of dictating a liberal/progressive slant to what goes on the air.

I'm tired of these RW loonies pretending to give a damn about balance and objectivety

I have been reading her off and on since I moved to Richmond in 1994. She rarely actually has a point to make. I have read her articles and put down the paper and thought "What the hell was that about?".

I have no idea why she isn't just some blogger on the edges that no one really pays attention to - she must have some great dirt on someone so they all keep publishing her.

This has let-them-eat-cake wrapped around PUBLIC BATHROOMS!?!?!? written all over it
Brzezinski told the New York Times that she was accosted by a fan in the restroom who insisted on a photo and spoke to her even when she was no longer in the common area.

But then Parker's byline says that she is an "Opinion Writer" whatever the hell that is.

I'm not sure she knows what the hell her confused writing is about.

Want proof just how stupid faux news viewers are (like we need proof)...?

Ever notice how slow their news crawl across the bottom is? It is less than 1/2 the speed of MSNBC or CNN.

Truth is that MSNBC must be doing something right because more and more people are watching them.

. . . with the general "both sides do it!" self-righteousness of the typical Fox shill.

There are rare moments when she says something modestly truthy.

Perhaps such moments are the results of an inner-ear disorder that causes her to fall, sprawled across the floor of her cubicle, crying out "I've fallen and I can't reach my talking points!"

But for these oases in the rhetorical desert, she remains, at best, an unamusing snark-free Dowd-lite.

What was that whimpering sound? Oh that. It's just the "Yes, but" crowd formerly known as the "anti-war pundits." Ignore them.

Nah, no one really wants Saddam to return to power. He was, to mimic Dowd's vernacular, such a meanie-weanie. Still, the Bush-bashers have plenty of reason to wish for something less spectacular than a free and happy Iraq festooned with flowers and sloppy with kisses for trench-scented soldiers. It's hard to admit you (Liberals) were flat wrong.

She should be out of a job.
