Man, a teenager owns his ass and he still won’t just disappear.
I realize this is all over the net now, but its till makes me want to put the “I Hate Bill O’Reilly” page back up… there I just did it.
Watch:
That was almost as disgusting a display of the stereotypical “ugly-American”, as the “Paris Hilton gets out of jail” fiasco. Thank god for K.O.!!
Bill is such an ass. I’m gonna see if I can drum up some code to make a hand come out of Bill’s monitor and slap him like a bitch every time he tries to open his mouth. 🙂
In the meantime, we will have to rely on Olberman to be our resounding voice of disdain for Billdo and all that keep him on the air.
Project Censored has done a bang up job of of putting together a list of the top 25 censored stories of 2007.

Why only 9, you say? Why only post the very basic info, you say? Why aren’t the stories clickable?
Because I want everyone to actually go to Project Censored and read ALL OF THE STORIES, or at the very least read the ones you find interesting. The most important thing is that you support Project Censored by visiting their site.
Project Censored has obviously put alot of hard work and effort into gathering these stories and making sure they are all cited correctly and exhaustively. I applaud their work, their candidness and their accuracy.
Thanks for helping to keep information free Project Censored!! Keep fighting the good fight!
Sweet news via Lawrence Lessig’s Blog , CNN WILL make ALL Presidential Debate Footage available to do whatever you want to do with it as soon as each debate ends. How friggin sweet is that!?!?!?!?!
Read and rejoyce:
Media Advisory
For Release: May 5, 2007
CNN to Make Presidential Debate Footage Available without RestrictionsAs previously announced, CNN will team up with Hearst-Argyle’s WMUR-TV and the New Hampshire Union Leader to host two presidential debates to be held in America’s first primary state. The debate featuring Democratic candidates will be held on Sunday, June 3, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the Republican debate will be held on Tuesday, June 5, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Due to the historical nature of presidential debates and the significance of these forums to the American public, CNN believes strongly that the debates should be accessible to the public. The candidates need to be held accountable for what they say throughout the election process. The presidential debates are an integral part of our system of government, in which the American people have the opportunity to make informed choices about who will serve them. Therefore, CNN debate coverage will be made available without restrictions at the conclusion of each live debate. We believe this is good for the country and good for the electoral process. This decision will apply to all of CNN’s presidential debates, beginning with the upcoming New Hampshire debates in June. [Truncated for too much Time Warner auto-felating, even if they do deserve a good BJ for this.]
I tried to make the more poignant parts of the text easier to see/read.
I think I’m gonna vomit with happiness!! I am wondering what the particulars will be. Will the video be made available for download, or for viewing/ripping? Also, can we edit the video to release a musical version of the debates a la “The West Side Story”. It seems like the video will be downloadable and that you can cut and mix and do whatever you want with it, but you never know. Still, I am sharting with glee!
GOOD ON YA CNN!!
PS: CNN, we will hold you to your word.
PPS: Lawrence, love the blog d00d!
Thanks to the peeps over at SpinnWebe, we have yet another example of Fox “Faux” News’ Right Wing bias and general craptasticness.
See for yourself:
April 1, speaking about the current conflict between the Senate and the President over war funding, Barack Obama says this (from USA Today):
“I think that nobody wants to play chicken with our troops on the ground,” said Obama. “I do think a majority of the Senate has now expressed the belief that we need to change course in Iraq.”
Yesterday, this graphic comes up on Fox:
Does anyone else want to vomit with anger?
Huge props to SpinnWebe for catching this. It just goes to show you that Fox News cannot be trusted to follow a story with any amount of credibility or honesty. “Fair and Balanced” indeed. There should be some sort of regulatory service for news outlets that could somehow shame or take disciplinary action against media moguls like Fox News. Of course, free speech applies to these fuckers just like it applies to me, but fuckin A this shit is getting ridiculous.
People trust news outlets to give them the truth, even though they shouldn’t, and that trust is being abused to the extreme. Maybe Jon Stewart could get rid of Fox News alltogether, he did it for “Crossfire”. Man I love that clip: CLICKY. Anyway, we’re probably just SOL and JWF as far as getting rid of Fox News all-together.
With Rupert Murdoch looking into buying the Wall Street Journal, this only makes me more averse to following the main stream media. Not that I ever put much credence in them to start with.
In short, fuck those guys!
And GO SpinnWebe GO!!
