Mike Baker on Homeless Soccer, aka The Clip That Hooked Me on Red Eye
I discovered Red Eye, late night on Fox News and watched it now and then, but it was this clip that made Red Eye a daily watch for the wife and I. When you see it, you’ll understand why. {title:”Mike Baker on Homeless Soccer, aka The Clip That Hooked Me on Red Eye”,url:”http://www.lockjawslair.com/2009/10/30/mike-baker-on-homeless-soccer-aka-the-clip-that-hooked-me-on-red-eye/”} Please Share [...]
One Reason I Love Fox News “Red Eye” at 3am
This is making the rounds because “Attack of the Show” featured it. I’ve been wanting exactly this clip, plus the “Homeless soccer fat chicks” comment for some time. I’ll have to settle for just the one, for now. {title:”One Reason I Love Fox News “Red Eye” at 3am”,url:”http://www.lockjawslair.com/2009/10/08/one-reason-i-love-fox-news-red-eye-at-3am/”} Please Share and Enjoy:
Katie Couric – Still Useless After All These Years
After taking a poorly rated newscast that was a dim shadow of its former self, and installing a new anchor that offered little but a cute face, CBS has solidified its last-place position in the evening news. Worse yet, since Katie Couric took the helm, CBS’s evening newscast has fallen further behind, with no end [...]
Thoughts on the Thanksgiving Parade “News”
Being Thanksgiving weekend, the news was a bit slow in US politics. The big story seemed to be that Matt and Katie failed to report the news that the M&Ms balloon was involved in an accident that resulted in two injuries. The big question of the weekend was whether Matt and Katie, as representatives of [...]
Debunking the Anti-American Media Lies
Whenever a Republican is in office, and military action is called for, we get a true idea of who in our society is the most anti-American. You can tell who they are, because they’ll start spouting anything they hear that could possibly make America look bad, and harm us in our military action. One of [...]
Bob Novak Calls Carville for What He IS
So, the blogosphere is active today. Bob Novak reacted to a statement by James Carville by calling is Bull*twinkies*. After doing so, he calmly stood up, removed his microphone, and exited stage left. Over in the “reality-based” side of the blogosphere (and they call it that with a straight face) they’re saying he “stormed off” [...]
Virginia Postrel on Journalistic Bias
Over at Dynamist Blog, Virginia Postrel lays out a very good explanation of why the media sometimes gets things wrong. “Much–though by no means all–journalistic bias lies in reporters’ assessments of what’s likely to be true. Those assessments are based in part on experience with sources and in part on how the reporter understands the [...]
Newsweek’s Bogus Koran Story
Newsweek reported, as many of you know, that interrogators destroyed a Koran as an interrogation method, eventually flushing it. As a result, riots have been taking place across the muslim world. At least 17 are dead and many more wounded. Now, Newsweek has come out and said that they can’t verify that the story was [...]
Internet News a Future History
I found this last night, just before American Idol, and saved it to post this morning. This movie gives a quick overview of the major turning points of getting the news on the Internet from the inception of the World Wide Web to a decade in the future. Turn up your speakers and give it [...]
Network News? Who Needs Them?
People often complain of bias in the media or other problems. Viewership is down among the big-three network newscasts. Dan Rather is stepping down amid controversy over his handling of a fraudulent story and evidence. There are lots of reasons to question the major network newscasts. I’ve long since stopped watching them at all. I’d [...]
