Friday, June 10, 2022. The fake assery of what they are trying to
tell us is independent media as they continue to act as Jimmy Dore's fan
club and try to do yet another pile on of women.
I
don't know what woman hurt Kit with HARD LENS MEDIA but he needs to get
over it. If that's not too triggering for him, of course. He has
championed -- and he's not the only one -- the hideous David Weigel.
The fact that he's now noting David is hideous, isn't good enough. Nor
is his limited knowledge base that doesn't go beyond 2015. Grow up, get
a f**king education. I'm sick of your stupidity and you should be
ashamed of it
He says David's reTweeted joke was just
dumb and nothing offensive. To which I say let's use parallel therapy
on David's 'joke,' , "Most Black men are bi -- bisexual or bipolar." Is
that funny from a White man? Is that just dumb? I think it's racist.
But it's not sexist or offensive when it's about women?
Kit's
too stupid and uninformed to grasp that THE WASHINGTON POST has a long,
long history of sexism in its institution and he's too stupid to know
that 'jokes' are how WP 'reporters' keep getting in trouble. It's not
all hushed up. It comes out from time to time. Was it Mad Dog Bitch
Beer? Is that what Dana Milbank served up in 2008? The paper should
have fired him for it (for those who weren't paying attention or just
plain stupid, that was among the sexist attacks launched at Hillary
Clinton in 2008). The paper didn't fire him for it because they taped
it and they posted it and they thought it was funny.
It
took the publisher to inform them -- rightly -- that no one was
expecting Jon Stewar at THE WASSHINGTON POST and that the next time the
paper confused itself with THE DAILY SHOW, they could pack their stuff
and move on over to COMEDY CENTRAL, This year is only half over and
'jokes' about women have been circulating non-stop through the newsroom
and offending many men and women who work for the newspaper. I'm sorry
Kit's too stupid -- and, yes, out of touch, face pressed against the
glass watching his betters live a more exciting life -- to know the
climate at THE POST.
All he does know is that he hates Felicia Sonmez.
He
wants to connect her to Amber Heard. I have no idea why. And I really
don't care. Just like I don't care who wrote the VANITY FAIR article.
Actually, it's not that I don't care on that, it's that I know the
problems VANITY FAIR's having and I don't want to know which piece of
trash wrote it because that would be a whole other snapshot.
But Kit wants you to know that WP staffers are onto Felecia and, to prove it, let's quote this great article from VANITY FAIR.
Pause.
Have they had a great article since they lost Tina Brown? Nope. They
haven't. It's been one long drive down the hill for them since that.
They used to have one great article or column an issue. Graydon Carter
was a bigger joke than his hair style and we all loved to laugh, in the
industry, as they'd put any gay actor on the cover and insist he was
catnip to women and the next big thing and then he wouldn't live up to
that promise -- but, hey, he slept with the male director that Grayden
liked to party with so Graydon was always happy to put that flavor of
the month -- that no one really knew -- on the cover and insist that
they were a star. They never really were. I was reminded of that again
as one of them to decided to do a social statement this week. I just
shook my head sadly and thought, "Is he ever going to come out of the
closet?"
Because that actually would be a brave thing
for him to do. Right now. Pretty soon, there will be no impact all all
-- like when Richard Chamberlain finally came out and the world said:
Richard who?
Radhika Jones is a joke and has no idea
how to present VANITY FAIR. First thing you do, get out of your NYC
bubble. There are already enough magazines trying to represent New York
(THE NEW YORKER, NEW YORK MAGAZINE, etc). Tina Brown didn't revive the
corpse of VANITY FAIR by making it a clone of every other NYC
magazine. (And that's what the pissy response to her at THE NEW YORKER
was about -- her attempting to expand the magazine beyond that limited
focal point.)
But if, like Kit, you're too stupid to realize VF made a huge mistake by printing what they did, let's walk you through slowly.
This
idea that she's fighting for sexism or gender, while that might have
been true at some point, now just feels disingenuous, even for people
who want to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Kit's a f**king idiot who needs to stop clapping his hands together and stop crowing with delight.
I
know who VF spoke with. I know it because they made the mistake they
make when always speaking. They're known for their Freudian slips and,
goodness, didn't they have one. It flew by VF and despite reading it
out loud to the camera, it flew by Kit as well.
Felicia
might be fighting for gender but, no, she's not fighting for sexism.
The unnamed WP-er put his own preference in their, just slipped out of
his mouth. Again, I know who it is because he has a long, long history
of doing that.
Kit knows nothing and he sure enjoys demonstrating that.
Kit declares, "I'm smelling BS here."
Well, sweetie, get your head out your ass.
You'll find the smell will lessen and a good shower will wash it right off you.
We
did the roundtable from hell for the gina & krista round-robin. It
went on past 1:00 EST. Most people went to sleep after -- not Gina and
Krista who are assembling the round-robin and not Ava and I who had to
write our piece for this week's edition. I then thought I'd go to
sleep. But then I saw e-mails about Kit's video. Looking at the title,
I thought, "Oh, he's going to take on THE WASHINGTON POST."
No, he wants to attack Felicia. And he wants you to know that Jimmy Dore has too.
You
know what Jimmy did to Ana of THE YOUNG TURKS wasn't harassment. And
we said that in real time, we said it here and we said it at THIRD. But
Jimmy is a sexist.
Bob Somerby is as well.
And the reason they're sexists is because they love to attack women. Nothing gets them more excited than ripping apart a woman.
Sadly, it's true of Kit too. Watch him smack his hands together in glee.
Amber
Heard lied. I said that here. I said that long ago. Before the
marriage fell apart, I stated it was a mid-life crisis on Johnny's part
that he would live to regret because she would try to destroy him. I
told him the marriage was a mistake to his face. When she started her
garbage, I noted online that she abused him not the other way around and
I pointed out that there were recordings that would back that up.
I don't know what Kit feels is Felicia's connection to Amber Heard but --
Okay, let me say this very clearly, F**k you, Kit. You and HARD LENS MEDIA need to get your crap together.
This
snapshot is not dictated. I paused after "--" to get on the phone and
thank you to three friends at WP who took my early morning calls and
walked me through.
And the F you to Kit is because I
had surgery on both eyes on Wednesday. I was just supposed to have
surgery on the right eye. But the retina detached again on the left
eye. My doctor I was supposed to see performed the surgery on the right
eye. And then, as I was coming to (which was as the surgery was ending
-- it never knocks me out hard enough to make it through the entire
surgery), I was asking him questions and when he finished he noticed the
left eye and asked about pain. I'm always in pain these days. I'm on
eight different prescribed eye drops. I have pressure issues in both
eyes. I just push on through the pain. But he said the retina looked
detached and he called my retina doctor who ended up doing a second
surgery that day because it was.
Every now and then, I try to pause to grab the magnifying glass that I'm using right now.
This is not fun for me. This is not something that I want to do. But Kit has to be a dumb ass and so I'm stuck doing it.
I watched thinking the video would be of import and about something that mattered.
It wasn't. It was about trashing a woman.
Why was David suspended for a month?
The
joke was judged offensive and, as I noted earlier, THE POST is under
orders, their reporters especially, to grasp that they are not
comedians. They are not be 'edgy.' If they repost a joke it better not
be anything more than a mild knock-knock.
David's reposting of that joke offended the staff.
And there are four previous Twitter issues that THE POST has discussed with him this year. Four. He got past strike three.
That's
why he was suspended. He had repeatedly been cautioned about this and
he also has another HR issue that I'm going to leave alone but that
those defending him should be very wary how far out on the limb that
they want to crawl.
David has serious problems with his
co-workers. With regard to his reTweeting that joke, it was his fifth
social media incident this year -- and we're only at the half year
mark. He was warned four times already. When he pulled this one, the
staff was appalled by the joke and management had enough. That's why he
was suspended.
It's going to be difficult at THE POST
for the man who spoke to VAN FAIR because I did bring that up and they
agreed, due to his slip-up, that it was him. So it'll be an interesting
day for him in a few hours.
Felicia's not a saint.
The three I spoke with didn't think she was. She has come to Amber
Heard's defense, by the way. I asked about that and they walked me
through that.
Felicia's an idiot when it comes to what
happened with Johnny Depp. She's far from the only idiot. Michelle
Goldberg is who Ava and I chose to focus on in "Media: Justice for everybody.'' These women are confusing feminism with matriarchy.
They're
also trying to pimp Amber as a feminist (though that failed and Amber's
pr team is now trying to pimp Amber as a bisexual being discriminated
against because of her sexual orientation -- see Marcia's "Amber Heard does not speak for this L"). Amber's done nothing in her life or work to qualify as a feminist. The term is not elastic.
She wants to help herself. That doesn't make her a feminist.
And
Michelle Goldberg, I'm not forgetting your attacks on Tara Reade. Tara
told the truth. Tara has more supporting incidents than anyone victim
that's ever come forward. That includes -- but is not limited to -- her
divorce papers and her mother's call to Larry King. Amber lied
repeatedly. Her make up artist testified to the fact that she didn't
have any black eye when she was made up for the talk show and that
Johnny couldn't have beaten her on a day she claims because he wasn't in
the country. Her former assistant testifies to what a liar she is (and
we have two disputing her claims re: the dog in Australia). She lied
when she said she was giving the 7 million to charity. Amber's spent
most of that. She's got a little less than two million left -- and
that's before the current fees from her trial. Supposedly, she's about
to shut up because her p.r. team is demanding some form of payment.
When
she got the 7 million, she might have planned to give it to charity (I
don't think she ever planned to) but a friend of Amber's insists (to me)
that she dipped in "just a little." She was convinced she'd be making
so much money as an actress that she could refill it. Then she dipped
again. And again. And . . . Now she's got a little less than two
million.
What a stupid fool. Now I've been there. And
I'll never be there again. Back in the day, believing a lot of whores,
I gave my money away. There was a little from my career and there was a
lot that was family money. I'm not the only person who did that but I
will own it -- unlike a friend of mine -- and I will own that I was
stupid to do so. I ended up with nothing and had to rebuild and was
lucky to be able to do so. But I honestly believed that we were
building a strong media that would cover reality and that would defend
the people.
Nope. Nope.
Amy
Goodman's the best example of today's grifter but before Amy there were
many others. Amy is making millions from PACIFICA RADIO thanks to her
friendship with members of the board. She was given a contract she did
not deserve for a program she is not the sole creator of. Anyone ever
going to point out that if she's worth the millions she's getting -- if
the program is -- that Amy needs to stop ripping off, for example, an
African-American man? More to the point, PACIFICA RADIO never had and
never should have a million a year to give any one person. It's public
radio. All that money and they don't even own DEMOCRACY NOW! -- she
keeps ownership of the programs.
I don't give to
PACIFICA currently. I got damn tired of giving to KPFA and seeing our
money go out to save WBAI and the others who don't know how to fund
raise or, honestly, how to program.
If PACIFICA had a
functioning board, they would cancel the contract with Amy Goodman
immediately. She has stolen enough dollars and I'm not giving money
that's going to cover her fake ass.
But I did give
before she started broadcasting, to many outlets, and I watched the
Watergate glory be replaced with the timidity. I watched the sell
outs. I watched a wonderful and brave Latina being trashed by these
outlets because she dared to hold Jimmy Carter accountable. They had
redefined their purpose. They weren't about the people, they were about
defending powerful Democrats who held elected office.
That's what I wasted my money on: helping to create and continue fake media that betrayed the people.
And that's why I don't give today.
I
did give to PACIFICA and when I did they were not fake media. After
they became it, I only gave to KPFA -- my local PACIFICA station. Since
our money we give to KPFA is forever being funneled elsewhere to pay
Amy and to save garbage, I don't give anymore.
And,
yes, WBAI was garbage. Unlike Jeff Cohen and his lies, we told the
truth about WBAI. It was The Winter Soldier hearing. The Iraq War
veterans were telling their stories. A number of us donated big to
PACIFICA ahead of that. I worked overtime reaching out to friends in
the media to get coverage for these hearings. And KFPA covered it.
PACIFICA on their national stream covered it. WBAI? Saturday they were
more interested in playing their canned programming. Bad music shows
and Grandpa Munster. Winter Soldier held hearings March 13th through
15th of 2008. Al Lewis, Grandpa Munster, died February 3, 2006. But it
was more important to WBAI that crap like Grandpa Munster be played.
It was old and had been played years before. But instead of carrying
the live feed of Winter Soldier, they reaired old programs -- bad music
programs and Grand Pa Munster -- dead for two years but more important
to WBAI then what Iraq War veterans wanted to share about the Iraq War.
That's why I say WBAI is garbage and that's why I call out the
ridiculous Jeff Cohen because he wrote that hideous column praising
people and stations that did not do the actual work -- KPFA did. WBAI
-- and other PACIFICA stations -- did not.
I'm not giving now. They can screw themselves -- they're certainly going to screw over their supporters.
And,
as someone who made the costly mistake of giving everything to these
con artists in the past, I do now look for warning signs.
Jimmy Dore is a warning sign. Not by himself. He may well stick to his guns and not sell out.
But
this need of the others who are around him to promote him non-stop. I
don't think Kit could show more support for Jimmy Dore than he does now
even if he dropped to his knees in front of The Bean and blew Jimmy Dore
as everyone looked on.
When you're hearing stuff like
"Jimmy Dore" over and over from other so-called independent programs,
you're seeing that they aren't independent. When I made that point
earlier this week, someone e-mailed the public account insisting that I
don't object when it's Glenn Greenwald.
If Jimmy hadn't
brought on the child molester -- the convicted child molester -- I
wouldn't have stopped including his videos here. But he did.
And
when I noted Rachel Maddow and the disgusting fawning over the Iraq War
vet who beat his wife, three e-mail came in insisting that she didn't
know. And two others wanted to cite PTSD. I had to wonder on the two,
was one of them Rachel's daddy. Rachel's father was her sock puppet on
the message boards for the radio program UNFILTERED. He would lie for
her constantly. When Rachel had the man on the first time, it was posted
to the board about him beating his wife -- who, by the way, he was
speaking of on the program -- and Rachel's dad -- posing as the woman he
always posed as -- rushed in to insist that it was just once and PTSD
caused it because he'd just returned from Iraq.
No.
He
beat her before he ever left the US. He beat her and he was arrested
for it. That may be why he enlisted. He beat her, got arrested. Went
off to Iraq. Came back. Got inside her home and, when he returned, he
beat her again. Got arrested again. While out, Rachel tried to make
him a star. And she knew while the show was airing. And her father was
there trying to lie that it was because of PTSD.
And while it was airing, Rachel invited him back for Friday's show.
That's
why I don't care for Rachel. You'd think a lesbian would be the last
person to glorify a man who beats up women. You'd think that. But then
I never would have thought a lesbian would do to a former lover what
Melissa Etheridge did to Tammy Lynn Michaels. Deadbeat dads and pigs?
They can also be women.
Melissa proved it and she's not the only woman who has.
A matriarchy defends Melissa. Feminism doesn't defend her.
So we move back to Felicia and feminism.
She's being misrepresented. by VANITY FAIR and by idiots like Kip who repeat VF. The e-mail the rag criticizes?
She is not ridiculing people who need help or discouraging them from getting it.
That's THE WASHINGTON POST's talking point to discredit her.
When
they sent out their e-mail about if you need help . . ., she replied
sharing what happened to her in 2018. She is questioning the sincerity
of their claims.
These are not Felicia-stans, by the
way. Two (in management) don't like her. The third says she's
"indifferent'' to Felicia personally.
Felicia was
taking on the power structure of WP and the response from 'independent'
media was to attack her. One in management at WP this morning pointed
that out and also told me that Michael Tracey was part of the bandwagon
attacking her online this week.
Ah, it makes sense doesn't it.
Let's
jump back to Glenn Greenwald. I don't particularly care for Glenn.
This predates Snowden and predates THE GUARDIAN. I have valid problems
with Glenn. But I did give him credit for breaking the news about the
spying (thanks to Ed Snowden).
And when he refused to
go along with Betsy Reed and other well known liars -- not well known
people, but well known for being liars -- I defended and praised him
here.
He sacrificed a lot to do that and I respect
that. I noted here that I was tabling criticism on him and noted that
on Naomi Wolf as well.
Historically, I am Naomi's
biggest critic online. I'm also not that cozy with her in real life and
that goes back to the 90s. But the attacks on Naomi that popped up
around 2020? I wasn't going to be a part of that and I will stand by
her right to say what she wants to say and against efforts to attack or
silence her. If I didn't have the current eye problems, I would be
reading her book and offering an evaluation -- hopefully positive.
Krystal
and Saagar talk about how cable 'news' is destroying the country. Some
group, I'm sure connected to David Brock, is working to defund FOX NEWS
-- or as NPR wrongly stated "FOX." FOX is an entertainment network now
owned by WALT DISNEY.
I marvel over that. With all the real problems in the world, some think the need is to take down FOX NEWS?
Interesting
because I lived through times where the left actually did stuff --
broke into the FBI, for example, revealed real lies from the government,
forced the end of the war on Vietnam -- and we never said, "Oh, we've
got to stop THE NATIONAL REVIEW" or any other magazine. We weren't that
stupid or that lustful for censorship. We believed in free speech.
That's not the case today.
Kit has every right to say what he wants to say -- even when it's stupid and idiotic. But that doesn't mean he should say it.
Not
when he's silent on Iraq. Not when he's silent on the ACLU. Felicia's
stupid enough to defend Amber Heard. Well the ACLU wrote Amber's
column. The ACLU refused, in the London trial where Johnny sued a
newspaper (Amber Heard was not a party to that lawsuit so Matriarchs in
the Media need to stop speaking of her 'victory' in London -- it was
Johnny Depp versus NEWS GROUP NEWSPAPERS), the ACLU refused to answer
whether or not Amber had kept her promise and donated $3.5 million.
(The answer was NO and they knew it.) And it is the ACLU that's being
vindictive trying to bill Johnny for almost $90,000 for the 'work' and
'research' they had to do to testify at his trial and produce
documents. The op-ed libeled him -- that is what the court found -- and
yet the ACLU is trying to charge him?
He could sue
them. He could sue them for their ghost writing of the op-ed for what
it claimed. More to the point, the ACLU is a legal organization.
Johnny was very kind. He did not go after Amber for breaking the
contract that they signed. He could go after the ACLU for their work
that violated that contract, that broke that contract. They're lawyers,
they should have known better.
He's not going to sue the ACLU-- I say that as someone who knows him -- but he should.
But the point here is, Kip and the gang want to go after a woman -- any woman will do.
They
don't want to go after the ACLU. They don't want to go after legacy
media and call out THE WASHINGTON POST -- Bob Woodward should have been
canned long ago. His harassment in the workplace is not a secret.
But,
hey, go after Felicia because she called Kobe a rapist!!!! Oh, the
horror. And she got David suspended!!! He got himself suspended and he
may get himself fired. (Again, defenders of David, you have been
warned.)
From what I'm told Felicia can be exasperating and that doesn't surprise me. Most people who go up against a Goliath are.
There
may be reasons to call her out -- again, I'll call her stupid for
ignoring reality and defending Amber -- but to attack her -- as Kip has,
as Jimmy Dore has, as Michael Tracey has -- as all the little dicked
boys have -- is to side with the system.
That makes it clear that you're not independent media.
I
am independent. I side with April Oliver to this day. She reported
the truth on CNN and just because a source gets some heat from the
Pentagon and wants to change what he said on air? That doesn't make
April a liar. He's on tape saying it.
It's amazing that -- as I type that -- I know Jimmy Dore has no idea who April Oliver is nor does Kip nor does Michael.
Because
they're really not about taking on the power structure. They're about
getting cash and when they do this circle jerk with one another then
they make it really clear.
That's your warning sign.
Don't be stupid like I was decades back and ignore it. Take them for
what you can get from them but don't give them a cent. They're going to
betray you. The signs are there.
Jimmy? Jimmy's
pissed that the Green Party didn't give Jesse Ventura the nomination.
That's a warning sign. He's furious that the DNC rigged the primaries
against Bernie. Yet he thinks that the Green Party should have ignored
the people who declared to run for the party's nomination and instead
have given it to Jesse who is not a Green -- or left -- and who didn't
declare a campaign for the nomination. He's angry that they didn't do
this.
That's not just the height of hypocrisy That's
also your warning sign that he's not who he presents as. Someone who
truly believed in fair primaries wouldn't be arguing that Jesse should
have been gifted with the nomination.
It's not that DNC rigged the primaries that has Jimmy upset, it's that his candidate ( Bernie) didn't benefit.
I'm telling you that's a warning sign.
Right now he rails against this and that but if the same tactics were used for what he wanted, he'd be all for them.
That's who he is.
And
that doesn't mean he's awful and mean. I have many friends who are
exactly like that. They are wonderful in other ways. But I am always
aware not to ever take them at face value. It may be a long con, it may
be a short con, but they're always running something.
Is Jimmy Dore going to run for president? Is that what this is all about?
I
have no idea. But the constant drumbeat of Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy is a
turn off. I refused to meet George Michael back when he was in Wham and
when he was putting out his first album. When I did meet him, he
wanted to know why. We became good friends. But as I explained, when
people hype someone all the time, it turns me off. And I'm not alone in
that. Nora Ephron wrote a classic essay about that and how Liza and
other cover stories at that time could never, ever live up to the hype
these outlets were churning out.
You're hyping him only
makes me not want to like him and not want to like you. Why in the
world is your program constantly mentioning him when you are ignoring so
many realities in the world? Is he click bait? I have no idea what
your obsession with him is. But there are real stories and real issues
out there and what mean thing someone said about a comic doesn't really
interest me. And it certainly didn't interest you when the comic was
Roseanne Barr and when a corporation stole her life's work.
I don't see any greatness in Jimmy as a comic. At THIRD, Ava and I called out Joan Rivers for comments she made on WBAI.
Joan was furious with me over that and made it known with a loud and
long phone call. I bring that up because in the midst of a lengthy,
screaming monologue at me, she stopped and laughed. "I hate everyone,"
she said. "That's an idea I can run with." And she did. That's what
made her a comic genius. From her yelling over the phone, she developed
a book that was a best seller and she went edgier than she'd ever been
before. That's comic genius.
Jimmy's a third-rate
comedian who does a show that celebrates White people. And, Kit, you're
the reason I have to say that because you won't stop pimping him.
That's how my brain works. I have serious issues to address. I've
never really thought about Jimmy until right now when you're hype has
forced me to figure out where Jimmy falls on the scale of greatness. He
falls off the scale. And that's reality.
You remind
me of a really kind actress I know who is also very dumb and she went
on and on about ROOSTER TEETH -- I may not have that title right. In
2014, she was obsessed with them and their greatness. They weren't
great. This is the Jimmy Dore Bandwagon. It's not going anywhere just
like ROOSTER TEETH didn't. She got me to watch and it was a lot like
Jimmy Dore. I watched about three hours with her and then I asked her,
"Did you not notice the lack of women? Did you not notice every man was
White? Are they trying to create content in the 21st century or do they
think this is 1957?"
ROOSTER TEETH has never
achieved. They've wasted a ton of money and are in danger of being
dropped (DISCOVERY sees them at having had millions of dollars poured
into them but having produced nothing of quality and having never
expanded their initial, limited reach).
I'm really
bothered by the pile on of Felicia for many reasons. Again, there are
worthy targets. It reminds me of a 'woke' comedy special that Ava and
I'll probably rip apart this weekend. It's cute how we have a 'woke'
comedy special and we're all supposed to ignore, for example, the woman
on stage -- Jewish -- who uses the N-word all the time in the past (not
in this special of course) and who went to town on Britney Spears (not
in this special of course).
Ava and I didn't go off
on Britney Spears. We were covering the media when it took place. And
we noted that we wouldn't be joining in the public stoning, we noted
that the dogpile was offensive.
It's called "Bash The Bitch" and Ava and I publicly called it out long ago:
Who knew it was a war crime? Katie Couric was a cheerleader and an army
of Beate Klarsfelds are on her trail in an attempt to warn America of
this dangerous contravention of the law. We imagine it's only a matter
of time before the tribunal is held. The cheerleader as Eichmann, no
doubt, sends shudders through the hearts of many women on the left,
center and right, since they too may be charged.
Couric's
apparent crime, for some on the left, is saying that Navy Seals "rock."
That moment was immortalized in Michael Moore's FAHRENHEIT 9/11 and seems to be the chief piece of evidence that will be introduced when the commentators gather at the Hague.
For
some of the left, though not all, that's at the root of their pursuit
of Couric. It's the gift of impunity that allows them to operate in a
fact-free environment as they compose the charges against Couric. But
those who hear such a statement and nod agreeably are also engaged in
the national pastime of bash-the-bitch.
Bash the bitch is as American as apple pie and rush to judgement, so who are we to complain?
If
it makes us "America haters" to say "Just a minute now" then so be it.
Let all the ones partaking in bash-the-bitch wrap themselves in Old
Glory, we'll call it the way we see it.
Here's what we see. A woman's trashed. For what she did?
Oh
cookie, please, it's for being a woman. Read the commentaries.
"Cheerleader" is a trumped up charge -- as usual, the true crime is
gender.
The zeal with which Kit goes to town on
Felicia makes it clear this is about bash the bitch, the zeal and the
glee Watch his smirk, watch him clap his hands in delight. And the
pile on that he's part of makes that clear as well. They need to take a
look at themselves and how they critique women. They won't, but they
need to. They rage against Felicia as though she started the Iraq
War.
That's not a fair statement.
I apologize.
They've never raged on Bully Boy Bush as much as they rage on Felicia.
And that really is part of the problem.
You
can start an illegal war as a man and these same voices will coddle you
or laugh humorously about you. The real hatred only comes out from
this crowd if you're a woman.
I have no problem with
tone, I don't police word choice. But I do expect that you critique
fairly and consistently. What I see is that a kinder approach is used
for male criminals (including child molesters) than is used for a
woman.
YOUTUBERS need to stop pimping Jimmy Dore and start covering reality.
It's June 10th? What does that mean in Iraq? That the political stalemate is now eight months long.
AP has an article, please read it. A friend at AP called to ask if I'd be including it? I told him to e-mail me the link. Here for the report by Qassim Abdul-Zahra and Samya Kullab.
He
read parts of Qassim and Samya's article to me over the phone. I have
not read it myself nor am I able to. I'm actually supposed to be
resting my eyes. But I will note that we finally have a US news source
noting Nouri al-Maliki and his large role in the stalemate. We've
covered him from the start, covered him before the election, because
he's one of the biggest political players in Iraq. Former prime
minister and forever thug Nouri was underestimated by the western press
-- especially the US press. What was read to me -- not the Nouri parts
-- I had a quibble or two with but what was read was also a strong
report.
Again, this is now eight months since the
election and no prime minister, no president. And no moving forward per
the Court for that reason.
The e-mail address for
this site is common_ills@yahoo.com. And typos are what they are, my
vision is almost gone completely, I have got to go rest my eyes.
