In case you were lured into watching CNN's ghoulish ghoulfest "Life and Death: America Speaks Out" gongshow last night, a three hourish parade of absolute slimy gutterring gusterbunk, the network milking for one last time the Terri Schiavo media carnival, with its "priests for life" calling the Schiavo death a "killing" and a "judicial homicide", in case you got sucked into that, you might have missed the rolling out of the presidential bipartisan commission's report on how we and the media all got snuckered by the president's Iraq war propaganda, which, in the final analysis, after the war was over, and the two years since, has resulted in not one iota of evidence to sustain the "weapons of mass destruction" claim trumpted by the administration and used by its lackeys in the media into intimidating us all to support the immoral Iraq invasion....read on

via That Colored Fellas : By La Shawn Barberella

The execution of this poor woman by ‘activist judges’, abortion-on-demand crazed lesbos at Planned Parenthood and Black Liberals who hate me but still read my blog, has now increased demand from the cable networks for my on-air insight and analysis! Such a reflection of my increasing popularity has forced me to hire the veteran publicist/media advisor Bumble Ward, who also represents the famous Director Tim Burton.

With my many appearances on MSNBC’s Connected Coast To Coast, I can now tell you my dear readers that CNN is now the only anti-American cable news network left! read on

James Dobson, Ph.D, psychologist, founder of Focus on the Famiily , during a discussion of Terri Schiavo in which he says that no one should be able to decline extraodinary measures even if he or she writes a living will (Terri Schiavo didn't write one):

I don't believe in a right to die. I think that God is in control of our destiny.

James Dobson's comment raises many theological questions...read on

via Media Bistro : Early this afternoon, Fox News prematurely pronounced the Pope dead. "At 1:23 p.m., Fox News Channel anchor Shepard Smith reported that the pope had died. At least initially, he did not cite sources," the AP reports.

FNC viewers could hear a producer yelling "the Pope is dead." (Side note: Who was the producer?? Shep then tossed to a correspondent in Rome, who said the reports were not confirmed )

An Fox News insider has outed the "Pope Dead" producer as Rachel McEntee. Her voice was heard on the translator's open mic in the audio booth this afternoon. McAntee is an "amateur who doesn't belong anywhere near this big of a story," the insider told TVNewser. The FNCer added that no one is holding Shep accountable for the mistake, because he handles breaking news constantly, and was put in an "extremely awkward position" after McEntee's frantic voice was heard on the air...

(Update)-James Walcott saw it too: The Lord Is My Shepard Smith

Fox News didn't even wait for the Pope to die to start politicizing his death. Based on an erroneous report from Fox's sister network Sky Italia, Shepard Smith announced that the Pope had died and began eulogizing him, the eulogy ending with a tribute to the Pope as a symbol of "moderation and conservatism." ...read on

via Tapped: Because you just can't make this stuff up:

Colorado Gov. Bill Owens apologized for saying "the natives are getting restless" during a conference on tribal gambling.
Owens made the remark at the Western Governors' Association Summit after a participant's microphone wouldn't work and he urged it be fixed quickly.

Between Bush's delayed reponse to the Red Lake shootings, Jack Abramoff in the news, and, now, Gov. Owens' remark, it's starting to look like an awkward moment for GOP relations with American Indians.

Sullivan: Here's a question I can't get out of my head. What if Terri Schiavo had had a living will saying she wouldn't want a feeding tube to keep her alive for decades with no reasonable hope for recovery? Legally, of course, there'd be no issue. She'd get her chance to die in peace. But morally? The arguments of the proponents for keeping the feeding tube in indefinitely suggest that removing the tube is simply murder. If that is the case, then how can removing the tube ever be justified - even if she consented in advance? Murder is murder, right? Isn't a "living will" essentially a mandate for future assisted suicide? It seems to me that the logic of the absolutist pro-life advocates means that this should be forbidden too. They should logically support a law which forbids the murder of anyone, regardless of living wills. In a society that legally mandates the "culture of life," the individual's choice for death is irrelevant, no? Or am I missing something here?

You aren't missing anything. If some have their way, living wills will be invalidated:

Theology doesn't matter. Laws don't matter. Your wishes don't matter. Moral obligations are what matters to some of these folks. And before I get flamed, note the terminology Land used- he 'accepts' peoples wishes. If given the opportunity to mandate what he wants, he will. And you are a fool for thinking otherwise.

On Hannity and Colmes, Terry would not discuss the recently sold donor list and got down right hostile that Colmes even brought up the subject.

Colmes: Do you think it's using the life of Terri Shiavo to promote an ideological agenda, when they are selling a list of email addresses and names and coming out on the same day of her death?

Terry: Yea.. I can't comment on any of that....

Now the real reason that Randall is down there comes out.

Terry: Terri's life is going to have impact.....is going to have good fruit...literally for years to come...

The fruit of say an expensive list that was just sold to promote anti-abortion agendas?

Colmes does "his" best to keep pressing.

Terry: You go on these bizarre rabbit trails...

Then to continue with cable TV's ghoulish behavior

MSNBC had to cut away from Hardball to make sure we got a good listen to Randall Terry sing and play a little piano at the memorial service. I mean a good crooner (see John Ashcroft sing )can bring in more donations. Has anybody on MSNBC actually talked about his life on the air?
