Read all about it Unbelievably, I've seen three examples in the last two days of two-sided reporting on the CNN channel and CNN.com. I keep checking my pulse, and fortunately, it's still there. But given the shocking nature of such fairness by ardent socialist Ted Turner's network, it's amazing I'm not dead on the floor. This piece is a response by Jim Gilchrist to an ingratiating opinion piece about the events at Columbia University where students successfully put a wet towel on a freedom of speech fire. They violently attacked Mr. Gilchrist and thereby prevented him from speaking; an infringment on free speech which, if committed by non-liberals, would have caused a media maelstrom not seen since Nixon's henchment broke into the Watergate Hotel. But since the violence was perpetrated against conservative speech, eh, eesss okay mayn. But here is the fabulous quote in which Gilchrist challenges CNN.com readers to wonder whether they think for themselves, or they are led around by the media sheepherders:

The hope and belief of Navarrette and his fellow propagandist journalists, along with anti-American groups like those that disrupted my speech, is that readers are so simple-minded they cannot distinguish between truth and fiction. One can only hope that CNN.com readers are not so easily fooled.

Unfortunately, Mr. Gilcrhist, those who can already think for themselves agree with you. Too many sheep are following the anti-American sheepherders who are leading this Nation off the edge of a steep cliff. There is no sign of reason interceding before we hit the canyon floor. And most of our politicians are ready to follow the sheep right of the edge. Hopefully, Planet Michela will be ready for reasonable people to escape to when the freefall begins.

Why are people so retarded about using the Reply to All feature in company email? Two recent examples: -- An associate sent out an email with an urgent request for someone who speaks Mandarin Chinese. At LEAST 20 idiot replies (to all, of course) said, simply, "I don't speak Mandarin. Sorry!" Another 20 replies were generated when a reply-to-all idiot replied (to all) "Please remove me from this email thread." with 20 MORE replies (to all) "Me too!" Starting with reply-to-all idiots in the first email flood: the requestor needed people who DO speak Mandarin Chinese, NOT a list of company employees who DO NOT! And, FYI, 1700 people DO NOT need to know that you DO NOT speak Mandarin Chinese! We'd guess that fact with 100% accuracy! How? You're too dumb to learn such a complicated language! And to you reply-to-all idiots in the second reply-to-all flood, you were the idiots who caused the thread to be perpetuated another 40 times! So remove YOU from the thread? What, and reduce the annoyance to you for your annoyance to US? No way! --An associate advises the occupants of X building that the power will be out from 9 p.m to midnight and okay, we'll give benefit of the doubt that someone actually needs to know this. Then a reply-to-all idiot replies (to all) "Thanks for the update, John Doe!" Okay reply-to-all idiot, nobody cares to see your thank you! Whew, I feel so much better... now if only I could reply-to-all with this rant attached!

It has happened. Two United States Border Patrol Agents doing their jobs will spend 11 & 12 years in prison each for defending your nation against illegal aliens and drug traffickers. The drug trafficker will get $5,000,000 of your tax dollars in a lawsuit he has filed, and which has now been completely validated with the persecution and prosecution and conviction of these agents. And, according to George the Liar Bush ("fight against terror" my ass; you want our borders open and you have just intimidated every single US Border Patrol agent into letting anyone and anything cross our borders), Alberto the Pig Fucker Gonzales ("Attorney General" is right, you generally think like an attorney which is what's in it for me justice-be-damned), and Debra the CUNT Kanof ("Chief of Major Crimes" who lets illegal alien drug traffickers testify against US Border Patrol Agents, and let's the MAJOR CRIMINAL--the trafficker--completely off the hook), according to all these cocksuckers, your nation is safe now that this man is going to prison and his three children will be fatherless for 11 years. Agent Ramos and his wife:

This is a picture of the results of decades of communist rule... a society that cannot even afford nor has the infrastructure still in place to turn on the lights. When human beings are constricted, their creativity not only -not- rewarded but punished (you cannot allow free thinkers in such a society), their incentives to do good things for themselves and not for the 'great society'--as human evolution has created us as selfish creatures as the mechanism by which we ensure our families and therefore our DNA survive--are quashed, when such a society exists, well, here's what you get...

A country where people are starving to death in the dark. Let's hear it for communisim! Special thanks to bcr for passing this gem along...

Read all about it If only I could file a lawsuit every time I got shitty food and / or service at a restaurant (click -> Here <- to read about one instance), I'd be freekin rich! Unfortunately, the instances where ugly waitresses discriminate against petite hotties do not qualify for a lawsuit. But then again, neither should the restaurant who screwed up and happened to provide shit service to black people. News flash: IT HAPPENS. And, my weenie minded liberal powder puff girls, it is not always discrimination!

For those of you who doubt the traffic this site receives based on comments...I'll tell you whut! I get lots of uncommented traffic (MADDOX! I KNOW YOU'RE READING!!!!:). And spammers have found michela@mediawatchblog.com from my posts, and I get all kinds of spam there. As I was scanning the subject lines, it occurred to me it was quite poetic. I took the subject lines of 22 emails, exactly as they were received (caps errors and all), and just give this masterpiece a read!

My hand to God, reading from email #1 to email #22, this is what they said. Isn't it beautiful?

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, on the plane crash which claimed anywhere from 1-4 lives (depending on which news report you believe):

We have to say a little prayer for those we lost, the two human beings whose lives were snuffed out.

At first glance, it seems like a nice thing to say, a hey-everyone-lets-pray for those who died; prayer is a very soothing thing in difficult times. But a "little" prayer for those whose lives were "snuffed"? Aye! That's something Billy Jim Bob might say:

Y'all, lits purray fer snuff. I mean, thuh lahves that wuz snuffed.

I've mocked CNN (and other) headlines before, this one takes the cake:

Fake witch doctor shopped WalMart, cops say.

So I guess there's really nothing to worry about, since it was just a fake witch doctor. When the headline says "Real witch doctor takes over WalMart" then we should be scared. When the CNN reporter finds a "real" witch doctor, perhaps they can ask this question (if the real witch doctor is a Republican, you can be rest assured of hard hitting questions of this nature; if the real witch doctor is a Democrat, fuggeddaboutit).

It's the only suggestion of the day ever on MWB, but it's brilliant, of course. As a software geek, I write a lot for my job. I draw cute little pictures, write stuff (software flows, risk mitigation plans, integration points and what they do, blah blah byte me) and I have been hindered more than once by the fact that I write with my right hand, and the mouse and mouse pad are also on the right side. So when I have to write, it's always kind of a pain to get to a place on the desk where the mouse/keyboard won't interfere with my right hand. So, of course, I started wondering why do we mouse with our writing hands anyway? It's not a very dexterity-intense action. I moved the mouse to my left side; after 2 weeks, I barely notice the difference. And I get to keep my pen and paper right where it needs to be--on the RIGHT!

Read all about it Thanks Marla...we needed another example of liberal loonies this week. Who knew a person could be a human (although whether Barbara the Bitch Streisand is a human might be debatable), a bitch, and a pig at the same time. But in keeping with this week's theme that the left can dish it out like grits for a Sunday breakfast in Mississippi, they can't take even a teaspoon of their own vile medicine back. Babs lashed out at a concert goer for not being overly thrilled with her Bush Bash. She tells that person to shut the fuck up, and then goes on a preach about "tolerance." Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?
