It's not News, but I know what ELSE you can call it...

I travel for work a lot, so sometimes I disappear from the interweb and just observe. Yesterday I was driving most of the day and around 5:30 PM I wound up in a Red Roof Inn in Grove City, Ohio and I was beat so I just laid down and turned on Glenn Beck. Yes, the guy so Right-Wing that Rush told him to throttle down a little, but in short doses I find him amusing and interesting. Longer than that and I usually end up looking for the cutlery to end my life.

Beck DOES play up the "Evil Forces Aligning" angle quite bit, and for that I have found that he can be very depressing to watch. By contrast, Rush doles out the bad news with a healthy dose of cynicism, and a laugh-track worthy dissertation on HOW the bad guys' plans can blow up on them.

So Glenn Beck can be considered to be... a bit more polarizing than Rush.

But let's ignore that for now and take a look at this "News" piece by Michael Sherer of Time Magazine, helpfully posted by Yahoo! News. Go on... read it.. in fact... I'll wait for you to get to the point where you find the Journalism...

Done yet? No? Still searching?

Here's a hint. There ain't any.

Call GB a paranoid right wing nutcase all you want. Just try not to make yourself look like a paranoid left wing nut case in the process.

This is not about Beck, it's about the hatred from the Mainstream Media, president hussein's loyal civil servants, over Fox News and its daring to be critical of the petulant boy-president. This is just a paid-advert for how Fox News is part of the Republican Attack Machine. Of special note is their disdain for Beck's status of Victim. His derailing the Dem tactic of being the biggest Victim in the room is crossing a line, apparently, that they can not forgive.

I might be a bit kinder about this piece had it been labelled an opinion piece, but it's not. And its lack of journalistic prowess, vastly Left-wing slant and seething hatred make it a load of (to use a VERY obscure British phrase...) Whippet sh*t. Long, thin, and very obscene.

The current state of the country is this... president hussein is bullying everyone... his own party most of all, trying to get something... well... anything at all... accomplished. The Democrat party is busy buying party favors for their "Going Out of Business" office parties because they know that November will be the end of a great many careers. The liberal journalism scene is frankly in worse shape, with alternate methods of information gathering undercutting the main news sources nearly daily.

Is it any wonder that this is such a ham-fisted attack?

I urge anyone who can do so to find a Hulu, a Youtube, or any other method to stream or download Tuesday's Glenn Beck show. Not because it was great TV, but because this sphincter is lying through his bottom hole about the context of the events. Not the actual events themselves, but the reasons behind the actions.

Beck DID apologize to the audience for wasting our time. Massa tried to defend himself, but Beck corrected him and pointed out that Massa, who had flip-flopped badly on his decision to stand down from his Congress job, had just used Beck's pulpit to prove how utterly unreliable he was. Just the day before his story was very different. He back-pedaled and did so with roughly the same level of sincerity as the first day. When one does something like that you either ask them to show some proof about what they are saying so you can know for certain this time it's not a lie, or you can write the guy off as bat shit nutty man who had been leaned on (probably the second they heard he was gonna be on Beck's program!!!) to change his story and take the fall for the party.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out Rahm Emmanuel had something to do with THAT either. Because the butt was out of the bag on that portion of the story, and it was the one thing he kept intact. So even if Rahm had jabbed some portion of his naked appendage into the chest of this naked congressman in the shower (which clearly CAN'T be construed as sexually harassing an employee, by the way... for reasons that only president hussein could think are legitimate...) there was no need to retract that, even if Rahm had followed that up with a threat to visit him in his home shower if he did anything to not make himself look like a loser weanous baby-man on the highest rated news channel out there.

Let's bottom line this. Glenn Beck got scammed, and Rahm "whippet-dick" Emmanuel managed to apply his old adage, "Never let a good crisis go to waste" to exceptional effect.

I'm Dr. Calamity and I approve this message.
