Malkin was beaten down left and right like a rented mule

Dismissed constantly

Bullshit lost this round

that she is.

And I'm so glad I did. Even when they might have all agreed on the Cambridge incident, they disagreed with her overall assessment.

And before that it was the unemployment compensation extension followed by the health care discussion. Malkin looked like a fool when they got done with her.

The nice thing was that I never for one second felt sorry for her.

mentioned her new book. That's the only reason she was there. It was obvious that none of the other panelists had any patience for her bullshit.

Props to the host for NOT holding that load of crap up to the camera

bullshit.

EOM

There are other posts on the subject

link, pointers? wtf? posts like that contribute nothing but static.

Does anyone know? That would be my guess.

I have to admit, she does tend to cast a skeptical eye on the usual hoaxes--Ashley Todd, for instance, she was way ahead of the Freepers on that one.

glad to hear she got the worst of it from her media peers.

As much as I was hoping she'd get all loony and entertaining, she realized they'd go for the kill if she didn't behave and kept her insane opinions all to herself.

You gotta wonder what it's like to have all those crazy demons screaming in you head and being unable to let it out.

God, this country is really going down the tubes faster than even I thought possible.

Totally agree. :wtf: was she even doing on the show? :argh:

It's as if the corporate media WANTS America to be a 3rd world nation.

dictators by proxy. But, who's going to be able to afford their cable costs and health care but their corporate fan base?

Did somebody let Palast or Hersch and a few BBC international correspondents into the country as a brief antidote to George (supercilious) Will or Cokie (deviated septum) Roberts?

How the hell can you watch these poseurs and pretend you're watching actual reporters at work?

People take the "Sunday shows" too seriously. They're the same dogshit as the rest of the week, just gussied up with an air of solemnity.

isn't she? According to the Whoremedia..that's enough credentials..they're so friggin obvious it's propaganda.

Flapjack got stuck on Fake Genie Island.

Yet somehow I don't feel less informed.

n/t

you can just see the hate in her eyes...

what is her deal?

She's a billboard for the Republicon party. Are you out of work? Malkin doesn't care. She's not worried about you making your next house payment. She's worried about how lazy you are.

There's nothing wrong with extending unemployment benefits. In fact, it helps the economy when there's no net job creation. It gets dollars in pockets that will get spent. And it helps people make their house and car payments.

So I'm happy to see Michelle Malkin on the tv being callous to unemployed Americans. It's good for our cause.

"good for the cause."

Fact is- it's proven not to be. At best it reinforces and cultivates similar attitudes- making them seem acceptable.

She's on a show where the counterpoint can be presented. That doesn't happen on AM radio or Faux News.

So let her have a callous and uncaring view. Then let us present our side, and the majority of people will choose us over her.

but underneath, the message sent is that a person can do and say abhorrent things- and be popped right up there on national TV. It says to people- it's alright and acceptable to lie and race bait in the worst sorts of ways.

The bounds of acceptable behavior are important- and interesting to look at cross culturally.

In America- lies (demonstrably false statements of fact) are perfectly acceptable forms of behavior- indeed, over the last 20 years or so, they've become expected on TV. It's not "objective journalism" when they aren't afforded equal time alongside actual facts.

Same is true with vile and vulgar statements- to a point. Unlike most other western nations, certain words (as opposed to meanings) aren't acceptable and will be bleeped out. As will the slightest glimpse of a woman's nipple. Strange, since sex sells in America even more so than it does abroad- and vulgarity is just as common.

When the Malkins and the Coulters are given a national stage, it inherently says to us "approval" - despite what they say and represent. Like O'Reilly, it eggs more on. And what it eggs on just dumbs us down andmakes the nation more dysfunctional.

...is the reason the unemployed haven't yet found work. She was then trampled by the others on the fact that people aren't out of work because they aren't looking or are lazy...people are out of work because there are NO JOBS out there. And they gave examples.

That said, I don't want to give such a hateful person a platform or any credibility. She is pretty extreme.

200 views and not one comment. Even the freepers know she was a dud.

Here's the real person behind the scenes.



Jesse Malkin, the Rand Institute toady.

How long would you think people would listen to a guy who looks like a nebbish spouting racist garbage? He uses his wife as a living sock-puppet.

Wouldn't have many freepers wacking it if it was this guy saying those outlandish things on TV, instead of his wife.

I had no idea -

Right wing nuttery seems to be one big incestuous family that the media (esp ABC) just can't get enough of.

The rest of the panel were quickly dismissive of this right wing wimp. She was not, is not, will never be ready for prime time.

anything ??
