The other right-wing media mogul you should worry about
Palin's book and Obama's bow: a media week to forget
Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
It's just too funny.
Look at the entire video clip... it begins with some kind of 'field coverage', that seems literally to be in a field, videotape that takes up the entire screen, but then yields only a third of the screen to Ray Flynn while he talks, and then the videotape then continues on, taking up the major part of the screen...
Watch that videotape: it shows what seems to be a single person holding a professionally made store-bought sign that has the word "shame" on it, and then there's someone next to him, and they're lamely holding a sign bought at the same store that has "sold out" on it, and in the fuzzy background is what looks like another sign holder, but they're too far away to see what snappy words or slogan is on their store-bought sign...
All surrounded by what must be three dozen at least, photographers and videographers all taking pictures of each other!
That's hilarious!
The media covers the media!
Have you ever seen a pack of a dozen dogs, two or three dozen dogs, all jockeying each other and all squeezing each other out, trying to eat out of a single dog food bowl?
Too funny I say... let's take pictures of each other, take pictures of the backs of each other's heads, and have it take up the whole screen, and then have it accompany Ray Flynn's words, with the same videotape taking up most of the screen, as though it was showing something more than two or may three lame dopes in a field, holding signs that if they made them themselves, they must work at Kinko's or something...
Hilarious!
One of my favorite moments during a 2003 anti-war protest was when a Fox reporter was covering the protest and the people receiving the report in the studio were acting like she was in imminent danger of being physically attacked by the demonstrators.
Here's a quote from CBS, "Those arrested Sunday included Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff identified as "Roe" in the Roe v. Wade case that led to the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. She has since opposed abortion and was part of a 200-person protest at the university's gate."
Obama basically said, "Can't we all get along while we kill babies?"
He had a line in there about finding a reasonable way for the expression of conscience for health care workers. And yet the Obama Administration (DHHS) has announced plans to scrap the Bush policy that did just that. The rules were merely a clarification of existing law, and implemented a process for the existing body of law to be enforced. Apparently, that is too big a threat to the abortion industry.
Are you protesting fertilization clinics? Are you against the death penalty, and do you oppose the "war" in Iraq? Are you ever going to be done with self-righteousness?
If i lived in the area i would've gone just for the media coverage.
Sadly protests,genuine protests,aren't what they used to be.
