Daily Show: Fox News Co-Owner Sponsoring "Terror Mosque"!
It's always fun to beat The Daily Show to a lead. At our podcast several weeks ago, we played the Evil, Stupid and Crazy Game, and at the six minute mark of this Daily Show clip from last night, it looks like their writers had fun playing, too. Of course, they upped the ante with Team Stupid and Team Evil Tshirts: there's no budget for that in audio podcasting.
Our conclusion on the podcast was that Fox and Friends fell into the "stupid" category, but this clip makes a really strong case for "evil," as well. They could be a two-fer, and with Fox and Friends that's probably the only conclusion you can come to.
My one wish out of all of this is that everyone who watches Fox News for news becomes aware that their second most invested shareholder is Arab and, yeah even I gotta admit, looks like a South Park Cartoon Terrorist. And Fox and Friends just got caught calling this co-owner of their parent company, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a "funder of radical madrassahs.":
Think Progress reports that recently Prince Alaweed headed a Board of Directors meeting attended by NewsCorp executives to "strengthen their alliance."
Maybe Gretchen should Google it.
h/t Kevin H for the tip.
Daily Show segment ever.

Jon Stewart is filling the news vacuum left by the rest of the media. Welcome to the end of the beginning of the American Empire. Or maybe the beginning of the end.
One and the same...
needs to be seen...
me-oww!
When I saw this last night, I just couldn't stop laughing. Jon Stewart rules, and this is one of his best ever!
Don't watch faux news!!!!!
I did check into the word "ignoramus." I knew what it meant but was really curious as to gretchen carlson's search of the word. Apparently, there was a play written in the 1600s by the name of "Ignoramus" whose main character was an ignorant lawyer. However, that's not what "Ignoramus" means today.....it's just how the word got its origin.
Dictionaries, however, now should put the words "Getchen Carlson" and "Faux News" as a fitting description and meaning of the word "ignoramus!"
A little Google bomb on that topic would be in order...and evil, too.

I couldn't have said it better myself!
What would we do without Jon (and C&L)
Great stuff!

This story is at least as big as the Valerie-Plame-Yellow-Cake story.
These EVIL people are playing both ends against the middle.
They created this controversy by funding both sides.
They've hung out the bait and sent a lynch mob after it.
And they have very effectively manipulated the entire media and body politic.
This is High Propaganda in Full Flower.
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
The thing that makes satire so funny is the truth based behind it. The truth based behind this satire, makes me sad.

This is why the Daily Show is so great. Poignant, funny and so dead on.
But I still think fox can be both Evil and Stupid.
This was hysterical last night. Oh, and while Gretchen is off, hopefully getting that 2 car garage she calls her notrils looked at, here's a little something for her from Yikes, an Urban Dictionary.
"Urban Dictionary: ignoramous
A really ignorant person. Someone who doesn't know how the world works, and doesn't CARE to know."
You'll note that it doesn't say anything about lawyers! Is she a former Beauty Queen? There's something very familar about her.
Everybody know she was hired straight off her pageant performance!

I checked the urban dictionary for the meaning of "ignoramus" and one definition is:
2, Person who has to google ignoramus to find out what it means.
She had to google ignoramus to find out what it meant (posted 2009)
How long before one can google ignoram(o)us and Gretchen's name comes up?

I didn't know which team to root for :)
Fox is a madrassah for the American flavor of Wahabbism. Not saying all Fox fans are this. Am saying those American Taliban types are watching and being trained by the Fox.
9/11 Ground Zero: No to Mosque, Yes to Strip Club?
There is a controversy raging in America about whether or not to build a Mosque two block from ground zero. NDTV's Sarah Jacob took a walk around ground zero to see just how "sacred" it is. http://www.newslook.com/videos/244250-9-11-gr...
4 churches built next to OK. FBI building after it was bombed. Not a peep from these "patriots". McVeigh was a Christian extremist. Would be nice to inject into this conversation.
It's obvious that all of this "controversy" is good for Fox.
Look at that photo of the Arab dude and Murdoch.
It's obvious that all of this is part of their strategy.
Play both sides off of each other, whip up the frothing masses...
keep the hate boiling...
Man, I cant wait to see Fox's response....
looks like he is ogling the cheerleaders at a high school pep rally
if you still consider Fox a legitimate 'news' organization?
Correct answer:
Very stupid.
I'm going with......with........oh crap, it could go either way......how about dumb as a
Faux.
'Talk to the hand'
Curious to hear, but still not finding any statement about this from Fox, I held my nose and peeked over at the Free Republic site to see how the wingnut community were taking it. The chatter there seems to be that it's some kind of Muslim plot to protect Obama by watering down the voice of their beloved Faux News.
Yeesh.
Now it all makes sense. FoxNews has a terrorist as one of the owners, and FoxNews is destroying America. So FoxNews is a terrorist organization. Not sure you need 6 steps to do that.
