Newsbusters blows the lid off scandalous Thanksgiving coverage

This one's just strange: Newsbusters' Carolyn Plocher is upset that network morning shows have offered tips on how to avoid excessive Thanksgiving calorie consumption:
In the past week, from Nov. 18-24, five network stories have bashed traditional Thanksgiving food because it's not "healthy." With the nation in a recession and the unemployment rate above 10 percent, the media want Americans to worry about their waistlines too. Each of the networks offered tips on how to avoid the "most gut-busting holiday of the year," as Harry Smith of CBS's "Early Show" put it Nov. 19.
What a bunch of monsters!
Seriously, this is the right-wing media critique: Whining about the Early Show offering advice on how to avoid over-eating at Thanksgiving.
Oh the humiliation of it all.
Oh the humiliation of it all."
What's even more pathetic is a guy like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity (take your pick) -- supposedly highly-paid media performer sought-after Republic hack -- has to spend his day ranting about the liberal media.
Oh the humiliation of it all.
PS - Cheney, it's Democratic hack ... DEMOCRATIC, but you know that already ... don't you?
As we have seen over and over, they like to shorten Democratic to Democrat, like we enjoy shortneing Republican to Idiot.
Idiot may be short, but it does have 3 syllables. Can't you come up with a word that doesn't involve 3 syllables, after all 3 syllables is pushing the envelope.
That Cheney2012 was in such a hurry to see his lame comment posted that he had to hit "Save" three times.
Perhaps we Secular Humanists should protest because, every single year at this time, U.S. News and World Report comes out with a special issue about "The mysteries of Religion" or some such drivel.
We could complain, but we don't, because we know that the solution, if we object, is to NOT BUY THE MAGAZINE.
What a concept.
The difference is that the misinformed droolers who do watch it have the ability to saddle me with a Troglodyte President.
Nobody can make me buy U.S. News.
This was a better post Dick.
Is this now part of a nefarious "Liberal War on Thanksgiving"?

He's the go to guy for the War on Christmas.
Now I'm about two bills myself, and could stand to shed 15 or 20 lbs. But goodness gracious, I saw the creature in the tan suit and backwards collar at the 9/12 event and he looked like he'd just eaten a small child.
The teabaggers don't do anything except lay around and watch Fixed News and eat Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Heh. That was funny.
Fetch me the whale-sling! It's time to execute Operation: Return Limbaugh to the Sea!
