The wingnut media meltdown
Edited on Thu Apr-19-07 09:25 PM by Fighting Irish
A little something-something I put up on my blog. Here's an excerpt. Enjoy!



If you really desire to find out more proof that conservatives are thin-skinned hypocritical chickenshits, then by all means, read on.

In the aftermath of the whole Don Imus controversy, conservotalk radio goons have their undies in a bunch. They're scared their little party is going to come to a crashing halt. As playing the 'blame game' has always been their trademark, they're trotting out Hillary Clinton, George Soros, the mainstream media and all the other usual suspects. This time, though, the main target of their ire is media watchdog group Media Matters for America.

They claim MMfA has a hitlist. And they're frightened that MMfA won't stop until they take down every right-wing radio host with access to a microphone. In other words, they're scared shitless. They're also claiming that the group endlessly monitors right-wing radio and TV shows, scouring the broadcasts for even the slightest infraction, report on it, and then blitz the mainstream media with their findings. Well, no shit sherlock! They certainly don't hide that fact. And isn't that the same thing you guys do?

Several things are always evident during any wingnut smear campaign. The name of George Soros often pops up. He's their top bogeyman. In fact, they claim that he's funded virtually every anti-wingnut and anti-George W. Bush internet and media venture out there, from Air America to MMfA. Well, we all know he opted not to invest in Air America, and MMfA has claimed time and time again that they've never received funding from George Soros...

- Rush Limbaugh on the attack

- Why Michael Savage and Tammy Bruce are fakes

- Why talk radio is basically just entertainment

- The right-wing's own established equivalents to MMfA, such as Dobson, Bozell and AIM

- An inside look at the GOP's sugardaddies, including Scaife, Moon, DeVos and more

2. The Best Defense Is An Obnoxious Offense??
Gotta love these goons screaming there's some "conspiracy" and then they race off to get the lastest Rove blast fax for their talking points. :crazy:

The other day I saw some first quarter financials for various broadcast markets and stations and there's another reason these hate spewers are nervous...ratings and revenues continue to plummet. The Imus mess is sure to make institutional advertisers...the ones who spend the biggest bucks to look a little closer where their money is going. Companies that were lax on their ban on being associated with hate mongers or "controversial" hosts are taking a closer look.

Also, the long-time game of using "humor" as a guise for racism, sexism and other slime attacks is starting to lose its luster. The corporate media looked the other way at caldron of hate that festers on the AM radio dial, but Imus put a light on this world and the rats sure don't like being under the light.

I'm a longtime fan and supporter of MMFA. It's a feather in Brock's cap when these goons start squealing...that's what happens when you aim sunshine on blood suckers.

Thanks for your post and your blog.
