Please consider-
Which brings us to this:
We’re long overdue for our quarterly fundraiser, mainly because we are so reluctant to have our hands out, but, as Nickelodeon used to say, “A kid’s gotta do what a kid’s gotta do.”
So if you are able, if you are so inclined, please donate. Paddy, Lucian, and I have expenses up to our collective chins and can’t do this without your help.
Thank you ahead of time for your consistent kindness and generosity. Without you, there would be no us.
I accidentally sat thru Mark Burnett & Roma Downey oozing righteousness about this yesterday on Sunday Morning. Guess we know how they vote. Everyone commenting on this is quick to compare it to the “head” of GWB showing up in a “Game of Thrones” episode which was quickly removed from the re-airing of the show. Think they’re going to change the devil if we make enough of a scene? Yeah, me neither. Via.
Man, what is with these asshats? Do they get a commission on how many old folks they scare to death? Via MM.
I checked into the story about the Nightline reporter, Dave Marash. Here is what he said about “bias”
Marash garnered considerable attention when he joined Al Jazeera English in January 2006 as the network’s Washington, D.C. anchor,[1] thus becoming the de facto American face of the new English-language station. Two years later, in March 2008, he stepped down from his position. Marash explained, “To put it bluntly, the channel that’s on now — while excellent, and I plan to be a lifetime viewer — is not the channel that I signed up to do.”[2] Specifically, he cited the loss of editorial control and his inability to vouch for content that the network was broadcasting, as reasons for his departure.[3]
On February 14, 2011 however, Dave Marash defended Al Jazeera English on the O’Reilly Factor on Fox News against claims by Bill O’Reilly that Al Jazeera was anti-American.[4]
Added- From contributor @amarquis32 in the comments:
Idiots. I wonder how Megyn Kelly and company would react if they actually learned that Al Jazeera is already available in DC over the air (no cable required) and on every cable provider…
Can’t find link for “every cable provider”, but nonetheless, I’d say Al Jazeera had already “infiltrated”.
Ah, here we go.
From Andy Marquis: WNVC is a collection of over the air, international networks. Along with being available over the air, it’s on every cable provider in DC.
Perfect, perfect, perfect!!! Via MediaBistro.
Former MSNBC and Current TV host Keith Olbermannis returning to the host’s chair, this time on MLB Network.
Olbermann will be a guest-host on MLB Network’s “Hot Stove” next Tuesday and Wednesday, from 9-11 AM ET. Olbermann phoned into the program this morning to talk about the MLB MVP races with Harold Reynolds and Matt Vasgersian, and to preview next week’s shows.
Olbermann will be joined by MLB Network’s Brian Kenny next week.
Olbermann is a huge sports fan, and a former contributor to Fox Sports and NBC’s NFL pregame show. He was also of course part of “The Big Show” with Dan Patrick, that helped turn ESPN’s “SportsCenter” into the juggernaut it is. He currently writes the “Baseball Nerd” blog for MLB.com.
Since Tuesday around noon, I cannot get MSNBC on my televisions. None. If and when for a brief moment it comes on, it glitches (digital freezes) in and out, then goes blank again. When I realized it was JUST MSNBC I checked and yes, CNBC is out too, but I don’t give a crap about that channel, just my damn MSNBC! I’ve plugged and unplugged, gotten zapped by Customer Service and had my head patted by various and sundry, told to be a good girl ad wait until Thursday for a “service” man to come out. I have had MSNBC on my television for at least 8 years, maybe more, but THIS week it’s too weak of a signal to make it to Mishawaka, Indiana? What do they think the “service” man can do over here as opposed to where the signal is coming from?
Any suggestions?
