THE BEST MEDIA OBAMA CAN BUY WITH YOUR TAX DOLLARS

It's bad enough that MSNBC people like Rachel Maddow have been frequent visitors to the White House. Shamefully, she and NBC NEWS have no ethical qualms on how inappropriate these visits were. Now comes the revelation that the Obama administration funneled a half million dollars to MSNBC for commercials to run on the programs of Obama liberal sycophants Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow.

 Here is the money quote:
"A recent report has revealed that in 2009 Obama's Department of Labor used Obama stimulus bucks to fund advertising on MSNBC.
The advertisements were created to promote Obama's so-called "green training" job programs and were handled by the PR firm McNeely Pigott & Fox Public Relations LLC at a cost of $495,000 to the taxpayers.
Two video ads ran for two months, 14 times a week during Countdown With Keith Olbermann and The Rachel Maddow Show.
In a joint email statement to The Times from two Labor Department spokesmen, David Roberts and Michael Volpe, officials said the money was used for outreach efforts to raise awareness among potential employers about the Job Corps’ green training in career areas, including automotive, advanced manufacturing and solar-panel installation.
Records appear to show that the program created no jobs.
Strangely, few other TV outlets were considered to run the ads. PBS was apparently rejected because ad rates were too expensive, and Fox, ESPN, and others aren’t even mentioned in the report. The ads did run on CNN after the stint on MSNBC.
So, shockingly, MSNBC and CNN were the lucky recipients of Obama's stimulus bucks for a jobs program that netted no new jobs."

If this had been done during George Bush'e administration the liberal's would be up in arms. It's plain to see how the Obama Administration pays off it's "friends" in the media with invites to the White House and then doling out taxpayer dollars to their companies.

STUPID CABLE NEWS ANCHORS

As most of the media is taking it's cues from the social media lynch mob that is driving the Trayvon Martin  shooting. There is nothing more ridiculous than the liberals on the cable news channels attempting to put themselves into the story. Even Jon Stewart could not resist showing how foolish they looked:



Even more bizarre:
"The mother of Trayvon Martin has filed two applications to secure trademarks containing her late son’s name, records show.Sybrina Fulton is seeking marks for the phrases “I Am Trayvon” and “Justice for Trayvon,”-SMOKING GUN

KEITH OLBERMANN IS NOW AN OFFICAL JOKE!

General Electric can't get rid of NBC and MSNBC fast enough. Especially since Keith Olbermann now has left leaning comic John Stewart making fun of him. I've been laughing at Keith Obamamann for his partisan rants on his MSNBC COUNTDOWN. But, his performance on Tuesday night made even Stewart comment on how ridiculous he looks.

If GE is not careful idiotic rants like Olbermann's Tuesday night might dip the ratings for MSNBC so much that COMCAST might want to renegotiate the deal with GE on the purchase of NBC. Who could blame them.

OBAMA APPROVED PUNDITS

There was closed door private meeting this past Monday at the White House with a select group of media pundits. Of course there was the typical Obama bootlickers like Keith (Obamamann) Olbermann and his fellow liberal lesbian co worker Rachel Madcow. Just One Minute has the complete list:

"The White House has sent TVNewser the complete list of those who attended the off-the-record briefing Monday: Eugene Robinson, E.J. Dionne, Ron Brownstein, John Dickerson, Rachel Maddow, Frank Rich, Jerry Seib, Maureen Dowd, Keith Olbermann, Bob Herbert, Gloria Borger, and Gwen Ifill. Several members of the staff also attended."

Kind of sad to see Maureen Dowd and John Dickerson in with the rest of the Obama bootlicking crowd. I just hope they were not forced to drink the Obama Kool Aid but, perhaps they already have and that's why they were invited.

Sex, lies, lobbyists and John McCain's B. S. express

I was enjoying a nice piece of Talaipa with my homemade mussel sauce while watching Hardball on MSNBC last night. When Keith (BIGHEAD) Olbermann came on with the "breaking news" of Juan McCain's involvement with a forty year old lobbyist for the telcom industry. While MSNBC played up the sex scandal angle the Washington Post this morning has the more important details. Here are the money quotes:

"In the years that McCain chaired the commerce committee, Iseman lobbied for Lowell W. "Bud" Paxson, the head of what used to be Paxson Communications, now Ion Media Networks, and was involved in a successful lobbying campaign to persuade McCain and other members of Congress to send letters to the Federal Communications Commission on behalf of Paxson. "

In late 1999, McCain wrote two letters to the FCC urging a vote on the sale to Paxson of a Pittsburgh television station.

"At the time he sent the first letter, McCain had flown on Paxson's corporate jet four times to appear at campaign events and had received $20,000 in campaign donations from Paxson and its law firm. The second letter came on Dec. 10, a day after the company's jet ferried him to a Florida fundraiser that was held aboard a yacht in West Palm Beach."

As much as it would delight me to see Juan McCain do a Bill Clinton "I did not have sex with... " moment. The big story is how easily the wheels will come off of McCain's "straight talk express" . And how politicians like McCain think the American people are dumb enough to believe that his getting free rides on the Paxson Corporate jet had nothing to do with his writing letters to the FCC urging votes on an issue involving financial gain to a Paxson. It's clear that despite all the polished image of John McCain as a crusader he is still a creature of Washington and instead of sending him to the Whitehouse he should be sent back to Arizonia ASAP. It remains tho be seen if those Republicans who jumped aboard the McCain bandwagon will continue to ride his B.S. express all the way to defeat.

Al Gore can kiss my....

I'm still scratching my head after hearing the announcement that Al Gore has won a Nobel Peace Prize for his Power Point presentation about global warming. I'm all for the environment and for what each of us can to protect and preserve it. But, does Gore deserve a Noble Peace Prize? I think not. What's that smell? Hmmm smells like hypocrisy.
While the left goes crazy over the new environmental rock star status of Gore following the Oscars and now the Nobel Peace Prize. The right as expected is on the attack. I have to agree with them on this one. They are quite rightly (no pun intended) exposing the hypocrisy of political elites like Gore. Though he is looked upon as a champion of the environment his house and lifestyle raises a lot of questions. His 10,000 square foot naturally gas heated home uses 20 times the natural gas and 12 times the electrcity of the average American home. While his press people try and spin that the home is also used for Al and Tipper Gore's office. Uh huh.
As the Gore's paid spinster pushed it:

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said: “Sometimes when people don’t like the message, in this case that global warming is real, it’s convenient to attack the messenger.”

No Krieder it's not that people don't like the message. It's that people don't like the hypocrisy!

The left is trying to circle the wagons on this false face of Gore including left leaning media henchmen like Keith Olbermann by saying Gores 20 room house is justified and "green" because the Gores pay an extra $423 dollars extra for energy provided from "green" sources. Oh please what B.S. They conveniently ignore that since the Gore's are operating a business from their home this of course becomes tax deductible. Unlike many of us middle class homeowners and others struggling to pay our bills who pay full freight for our energy use.
An even more disturbing revelation for me. Is that when you compare the homes of George W. Bush and Al Gore. Bush's home looks a lot greener than Gore's.
While the left continues to ignore the hypocrisy of Al Gore and his energy use. They lambasted the right for exposing it. But, I think the right have done the public a service. No Al Gore is not a victim. I think the Nobel Prize should have been awarded to someone who REALLY walks the walk not just gives the talk on energy conservation. Yes the real victim and the guy who should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize is ED BEGLEY Jr. A real hero of the earth. As for Al Gore he can kiss my carbon footprint!
