News Notes
A little girl cries while on her father’s shoulders after getting a taste of modern liberalism in action. The Scotsman has a roundup on the CBS Forged Memo story for those who have been hearing snippets, but want to know more. (Don’t forget to buy the T-Shirt.) Hugh Hewitt contrasts CBS with the Tylenol Poisoning incident in an explanation of good and bad ways to defend your brand. An excerpt
“The company immediately alerted consumers across the nation, via the media, not to consume any type of Tylenol product. They told consumers not to resume using the product until the extent of the tampering could be determined. Johnson & Johnson, along with stopping the production and advertising of Tylenol, recalled all Tylenol capsules from the market. The recall included approximately 31 million bottles of Tylenol, with a retail value of more than 100 million dollars. (Broom, Center, Cutlip, 381)”
So, my suggestion is this. Don’t consume any type of CBS product. Do not resume using any CBS product until the extent of the tampering can be determined. CBS will undoubtedly produce some form of tamper-proof product and package in the future, after which time you may consider their product to be a trusted one again. My other suggestion is to not hold your breath waiting for this to happen.
Look what I just found. The intelligent and beautiful Michelle Malkin has a blog.
A new Gallup Poll shows “Among registered voters, Bush is ahead 52%-44%.” The same article points out the “Pew Research Center poll released Thursday shows a tighter contest. The survey, taken Saturday through Tuesday, gives Bush a statistically insignificant lead of 47%-46% among likely voters.” Normally, a “likely voter” poll would have more weight than a “registered voter” poll, but in this case the Gallup poll would probably be more accurate, as it is a weekday poll. Weekend polls are known to skew liberal. Of course, the only poll that matters comes in November.
Noted conservative punk rocker Johnny Ramone has passed away. I might have to listen to Blitzkrieg Bop today.
Rance just isn’t worth reading anymore. When it was the blog of an unknown Hollywood insider dishing gripes about the system, it was fun. Now that the blogger (some believe him to be Owen Wilson or Ben Affleck) has gotten it all out of his system, he’s brought in an “Associate Rance” who manages the posting of essays by readers of the blogs. My take? If you’re going to stop posting to a blog, just stop posting. Let the readers start their own blogs. I guess this is proof that Rance really is a major Hollywood actor. His ego won’t let him stop being the center of attention, even when he doesn’t want to work.
While I’m griping, I’m getting tired of Worldnet Daily and NewsMax slipping advertisements for their own products into their main page as news stories. WND has an ad for a book posing as an above the logo top story. It’s annoying, and I wish they’d cut it out. At least I don’t have to put up with NewsMax’s pop-up ads, since I run Opera instead of IE.
The Media Research Center is a great place to get analysis of bias in reporting. Here’s the latest cyberalert.
Finally, since I haven’t been called a Nazi by a nitwit lately, I’ll just point out that communism is evil.
