MSNBC preempting KO rebroadcast for LIVE coverage WAIT for Martha Stewart |
|
to come out of prison and go home. (On TV right now as of midnight)
I'm so ashamed of what has become of American Journalism.
"Martha Stewart is expected to emerge at ANY moment."

1. We are now officially a disgraced country rubbing our faces in the |
|
dirt.
They couldn't wait to see her locked up, now they're foaming at the mouths waiting for the pictures of her walking out after doing less then our fearless leader did with his Harken Energy stock.

3. I'm ashamed with you. Tonight on Jay Leno my ears perked up when he |
|
started his monologue joking about a media blackout and that he's not allowed to say much. I almost jumped for joy thinking he was talking about Bushco's control over the media. Yet, Leno clarified his statement a moment later. He was actually talking about the Michael Jackson trial!
What has America become? We've become a pathetic bunch of people with a sorry ass leader!:puke:

4. ALL the cable channels are lurking outside the prison |
|
like a pack of starving wolverines, desperate for the merest glimpse of that infamous hardened criminal, "Ma Barker" Stewart. The American media have become masters of the utterly trivial, pimping for cheap entertainment. It's pathetic. They all ought to be ashamed of themselves, but of course they're not. It makes money...

9. Actually Keith said Martha's "people" had provided lights |
|
and a flatbed trailer FOR the media, so they could photograph her as she got on the private plane:)

10. Olbermann was good tonight, too. |
|
I always try to catch the replay since my son is still up and talking to me when KO comes on the first time. I get to see the show, but sometimes I miss the finer points.
Oh - and he wore the DU (KOEB) tie. :)

7. I was just coming on to post about this |
|
I know it shouldn't surprise me.
I mean, look - I fully realize that the corporate media has been hijacked by bullshit empty calorie sensationalistic celebrity stalking crap. But when they take away one of the precious FEW voices that actually gives a version (and not a perversion) of the truth on the TV (I'm talking about Keith here)... I'm SO furious!
Some of the lowlights:
The media covering the media - LOOK HOW MANY CAMERAS THERE ARE!
A heated argument about MArtha's guilt - why not a heated argument about Gannon, or Plame, or election fraud?!
Reporter question: Is there any significance to the fact that the van door is open?
BREAKING - there is a car, and it is moving!
I have yet to see such a clear illustration of the failings of the Corporate Media than this moment. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

11. Nothing is happening, so they'll have to "report" on each other. |
|
Wouldn't it be a hoot if Martha decided to hang out in the pokey until tomorrow morning, just to fuck with them? How long do you think those morAns will stand around in the snow, waiting for the Big Moment? All night? Cheez!

8. I'm pissed to that they preempted Countdown |
|
just to show the entrance to the prison and babble on mindlessly.
You know I have to give Faux credit - they're showing a split screen with the entrance in the shot, but they're staying with Brit Hume's show for now.

13. More reporters at Michael Jackson trial than in Iraq ... |

Unfuckingbelievable!

14. the only thing that takes the edge off my anger right now... |
|
is the almost-certain feeling I have that this nonsense will be appropriately and absolutely SKEWERED on the Daily Show (and, probably, Countdown) tomorrow.
I just hope Martha doesn't decide to go into her garden, lest Keith be preempted by helicopter shots and fierce debates about her choice of plants.

There is no sense in any of us supporting this vile behavior by actually watching it.
Not fussing at you, ztn, I'm just hoping that if we all did it, they would stop behaving like a pack of wild animals on the kill. :hi:

is that in the morning all the news shows will show and re-show ad nauseum Martha leaving the prison...Martha getting in a car or van...Martha getting on a plane...etc. You get the point.
The MSM has basically degenerated into a stalking paparazzi. It's disgusting!!
Like anyone with an ounce of brain power gives a flying fig.

I've had it!
It's like alcoholism, journalism, and paparazzi all rolled up into one – It’s papajournalcoholism!
The least they could do is discuss Martha, Martha, Martha in context of how she was royally screwed while Ken Lay and others are walking around merrily without a care in the world.

The coverage of this last night was absurd and revolting and at times misongynistic. Dan Abrams is/has become a buffoon.
