Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
The Friday Rush: A series of conflicts
Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
So, I bet you already knew that the kid was 16, but just couldn't make yourself admit it. And on top of that, before the kid's statement and his driver's license were posted here, you still knew that there was conflicting info about the kid's age, but you never mentioned that, you dishonest hack!
Lou is so pathetically dishonest--well, he is a conservative--that he thought his salvation in this case was to scoff at Media Matters, "what, the other 4 people who read Media Matters...ha, ha, ha, ha...
No Lou, you're not cute, or funny, or even remotely intelligent.
You're pathetic. And a disgrace to yourself and your profession.
Maybe to you, or to me, it's nothing, but Louzer is in the media, and has convinced himself that if he's talking about something, it must be important, despite countless examples disproving that mindset.
The remark about the "four people who read MM" is pretty funny. The Appeal to Popularity type of fallacy is something that all humans fall for on some level, usually subconsciously, but it really is the right wing mind that consciously and deliberately uses it as a foundation for their arguments.
Lou Dobbs: 2 + 2 = 5
Guest: According to Mathematics Weekly, 2 + 2 = 4
Lou Dobbs: Millions of people watch my show. Math Weekly has a circulation of 2,000 readers. Therefore, 2 + 2 = 5.
Pssst.... Lou.... that's not an argument.
Will the four reads of MMFA please stand up!!!!
Luigi, thanx for the plug..again.
After the show, a producer explained that the four were actually the number of people under the age of 98 who still watch his show.
Way to go, Gramps.
Once they get over their euphoria that the US has lost the 2016 Olympics, they're gonna wake up to the unrelenting reality that the facts just ain't doin' them any favors.
Until Obama's polls become theirs, nobody is buyin' their act.
And very frightening if you're a conservative...which I'm not.
This great website is helping to make happen exactly what Brooks says is happening.

Then Lou look like he was about to puke his weeks paycheck when Mr. Zuckermann took Mr. Conason's side!
Geez Lou... could ya look a little less outrageous in your desperation?
What's important is they got their facts right, and Lou did not. The young man was not 15 at the time, he was 16, the age of consent then and now in his state, and thus Jennings did nothing wrong. It's a witch hunt, and if Obama is smart, he'll ignore the douchebags on the right, trying to make this an issue.

They would pay him probably substantially more than CNN does. And what the heck, most media talking heads would sell their mothers for a huge increase by the millions in salary.
