Spitzer was a job creator, and he bought American.

Be American. Bone American.

The difference is, and always shall be, that the GOP is the party of "morality", the DNC has never claimed that throne.

WTF Indeed: Spitzer was a job creator, and he bought American.

And Sanford's girlfriend was probably boning him for free.

Okay, well, let's just agree that CNN and Fox News both suck. Throw MSNBC in there, too. It's not as bad, but it definitely still sucks.

Cable news is shiatty. shiatty and sucky.

/my vocabulary is toast after a long weekend.

He was flying down from South Carolina, she better not have charged him.

Actually, to be fair, Spitzer was all about cracking down on "Escorts" and the like.

But that still leaves a 50:1 ratio of morally hypocritical Republicans to morally hypocritical Democrats.

Fox News is a propaganda organization. CNN is just a moving tabloid.

I really, really wonder whatinthehell CNN was thinking when they hired him. And sometimes, wonder if.
 
2011-10-23 10:55:54 PM
so, wait... is newsbusters saying it's bad to hire a sex-scandal-tainted governor or not? or is this just ad hominem tu quoque?

They all suck. CNN is the only one that has ever been good and could be good again if they weren't: cameroncrazy1984: a moving tabloid.

I like RedEye on Fox
I like that Dylan Ratigan fella on MSNBC

CNN though has real potential and you know, actual news bureaus for different regions in the world not backed by a network, they could actually report good news. They chose not to.

violentsalvation: report good news.

or

Report news well.

Alcohol brings out my hick lingo, pardners.

It's weird; I never click on a News Buster link, but somehow I feel like I've read everything they've posted.

That is, of course, because I have. it's the same "omg librul lamestream media" garbage the right has been spewing out for years.

yawn. call me when it involves a democrat male on male sex scandal.

/on second thought, don't.

Why, you want to make it a three-way?

Wow, I have to agree with NewsBusters on something.

WTH was CNN thinking?
 
2011-10-24 12:20:50 AM
In all fairness, Sanford had one of the cooler sex scandals out there.

So you're gonna chastise Fox News because they beat the morality drum, right?

I'm in agreement with the overall story, but this:

Having begun Sunday's program asking guests why President Obama wasn't getting more credit for Moammar Gaddafi's death, this most certainly was a lousy day for one of America's best known media critics.


Kind of rubs me the wrong way. We're not allowed to congratulate someone for doing something well, not endangering American lives, and making the world a safer/better place?

Sorry to go off topic, but the article did it first.

Actually, they choose to and do it quite well for their International variants. They just choose not to for their flagship U.S. network. Their North American International variant is fine.

Sanford, sex scandal aside, preached Tea Party insanity before it was cool to be in the Tea Party. He's a Tea Party hipster. Spitzer, sex scandal aside, did great things for New York and actually protected people that weren't at the top of his campaign donor list.

All that will matter is the ratings he gets.

Fox is shameless, insulting propaganda, but CNN is really bad. Who the hell cares what personalities they hire to shout opinions?

The only thing CNN is good for is gigantic breaking news stories. Their reporting sucks but when something like the BP Oil Spill happens, I'll turn on CNN to watch all the visuals.

Fox is a parody of itself. Centuries from now, people will read about Fox in history books and just laugh.
 
2011-10-24 12:59:51 AM
I know its Newsbusters, so we shouldn't expect anything but strawmen and pie-making hubris, but where was the mocking in that transcript exactly?

The bit about how Sanford isn't going to be running for president? That's not mocking fox for hiring him, that's (maybe) mocking Sanford for his lack of political options. As the article points out the same guy has criticized Spitzer before, so what is the problem, that he didn't criticize Spitzer or CNN at the same time he talked about Sanford? Sanford was just hired, its new, that's why they call it News. Spitzer isn't related to the story or the joke or at all.

They might as well criticize a traffic update for reporting on an overturned truck on the interstate without mentioning that there was a stalled truck in an intersection on the other side of town three months ago.

1. spitzer broke the law.
2. you are right, it is fine that the dems are the party of immorality. It would explain Rangel, Jefferson and Weiner.

They hired Spitzer because he's an economic and political genius, regardless of whether or not he likes whores.

The guy needed a job. And when Fox gave it to him, they knew he'd toe the company line due to his past. Good deal for them both.

I have not experienced much of their international variants. I usually watch and browse BBC for the big news and I round that out with NPR.

It means we haven't heard the last of Anthony Weiner, that's what it means.
