John Stossel: ABC Politics Stopped Him From Doing Acorn Story.

~ Pharmer

Stossel, now working at FOX, made this admission while interviewing Andrew Breitbart.

Pharmer has the inside track on something that FOX News has not been eager to cover: stories containing the admission that birth control pills can operate by stopping the life of an early human embryo. Fox News reporters would call for interviews dealing with this issue time and time again, take down information, then never call back. At that time, other news networks, newspapers and radio were still permitted to deal with this subject. It was also covered on the O’Reilly Factor elsewhere on the FOX network.

More recently, FOX was able to mention that pharmacists were resisting the Blagojevich order forcing them to dispense all birth control pills in 2005, but we can’t find this year’s Illinois Judicial decision in favor of the pharmacy owners on their network. Maybe it’s buried somewhere deep.

Not to worry, the real news is on the internet now, and the New Media have taken up this story, and many others which the Old Media will not cover.

Jerking the Old Media Around

Time’s Steinmetz Grouses About Way Alaska Governor Released Palin E-mails | NewsBusters.org.

Ken Shepherd over at Newsbusters noticed some whining from the old media that Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell dumped Sarah Palin’s emails on them in printed form.

Call a Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance !

There’s the suggestion that Parnell did it just to jerk the Palin hating journalists around.    If so, that’s hilarious.

But another reason is that electronic redactions sometimes don’t work.   In various programs you can copy paste a redacted document and the printed stuff under the electronically produced black lines will reappear again.

It’s So Much Easier to Not Have Cable Television

Bozell Column: Viacom’s Endless Violations | NewsBusters.org.

Above linked  is some commentary showing a  reason why  leftists can’t understand that sending photos of ones privates to people half one’s age is gross.   They talk to themselves and each other through their own media outlets, and rarely interact with the normal people who actually produce things in the United States.

Brent Bozell comments on the new show our kids won’t be watching called “Friends with Benefits”, as well as other Cable nasties.

We don’t have MTV etc. because……. it’s more worthless material and waste of brain time.

Of course there’s no way to totally  keep your kids from seeing this stuff at their friends’ houses.  But, by avoiding cable television at home,  at least your kids learn that standards of decency exist, and there’s more free for their brains to do something useful.

Politico Issues Correction After Palin Camp Bashes Authors for ‘Making Up’ Quote | The Blaze

Politico Issues Correction After Palin Camp Bashes Authors for ‘Making Up’ Quote | The Blaze.

Very Briefly, here’s the Quote attributed by the Politico to Palin, though she never said it.   The Politico has retracted it, acknowledging that the words come from the authors of the piece, not from Palin.

Palin’s bus tour had some of the hallmarks of a primal scream: “I built this constituency, not Bachmann, not anyone else.” Looking at it through her eyes, she has a point.

The apparent purpose of the misattribution was  to invent a fight between Palin and Bachmann which has not occurred.

Chrissie Matthews’ Inquiring Mind Wants to Know

~ Pharmer


Which republican  “Could excite them and turn them on most likely?”

That’s what it’s all about for Chris.  The rest of us are pondering other attributes of our politicians than their capacity for sending a thrill up our legs.

Matthews has also stated that he would not want an interview with Huntsman, Pawlenty or Romney.  He’s just not interested in any possible future presidents if they come from the opposing party.

Those guys just leave his leg COLD, and feeling quite dead.

News the Media Loses: Maddow Fan Shuts Down 300 FL Schools

~ Pharmer

Maddow Fan Pleads Guilty to Threats Which Led to School Lockdowns – Big Journalism.

Yup…. it was to prove a point.

Rachel Maddow, enflamed by the right wing support of  second amendment rights, had played  an edited clip of a radio talk show host Joyce Kaufman on her show.

Rachel’s own  fan, Ellisa Martinez caught  the Madcow  fire and decided to send a letter threatening  a shooting at a Broward county school.  She called Kaufman’s show saying her husband was on the rampage and would be visiting a local school with his guns.

Ellisa Martinez has been corralled in her home state of California,  and will be jailed for 1-5 years for the threats.

The media would like to remain silent so as to pretend that the threats were generated by talk radio, rather than the  hate speech of Rachel “Madcow”.

Watch Lawrence O’Donnell cry for Planned Parenthood

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Anticipating their possible loss of tax payer funding, Lawrence O’Donnell weeps for planned parenthood.

Like Obama, who refused to assist his Auntie Zeituni and other impoverished relatives, the well-paid O’Donnell admits to allowing his friends to suffer inadequate medical care, dental care, and inability to watch his show on cable. He expects us to pay for that.

New Washington Times is Baaaaack

New Washington Times hits stands | Washington Business Journal.

The Washington times has been  purchased by  investors connected with Rev. Sun Myung Moon who had  originally founded the newspaper.

It is back out, with it’s sports page,  down to half price at the news stands, and set to put up a revitalized  website in the near future.   Delivery has also resumed.

Rev. Moon’s paper has been  a standout for  having reporters who dig harder on many stories,  are  more careful with details, and ……..  report accurately on medical matters!

The availability of  a right leaning opinion section is always a plus.

Nuclear Panic: Media Finally Reacts to Criticism from People Who Know Better

~ Pharmer

Risks from radiation low in Japan but panic high – Yahoo! News.

The above headlined article comes from AP…. FINALLY.   After enough commentary from people who know better,  reporters and editors from AP produced a respite from the media efforts to kill more  people through the production of baseless fear.

Yes,  shutting down power plants causes deaths of people who have become reliant on such things.    The U.S. media, by feeding anti-nuclear panic has, up to this point,  been serving as the death-panel of the “greenies”.

Undaunted, the Obama administration will throw millions of tax dollars into causing more damage by encouraging and funding the evacuation of U.S. citizens from Japan.

NPR CEO Resigns

NPR president Vivian Schiller resigns | Poynter..

It’s imploding over there at NPR in the wake of James O’Keefe and Co’s latest caper, embarrassing two top execs of the fundraising department.

Scroll down for the video which led to all this uproar, and note that it says .. “to be continued”.

It is said that James O’Keefe targeted NPR after the firing of Juan Williams. One of his compatriots, Shaughn Adeleye was particularly irritated by that turn of events.

Inquiring minds want to know if the “to be continued” part of the video is leading to the rapid melt down.

Update.. Ron Schiller, the exec implicated in O’Keefe’s video, has given up his prospective job at the Aspen Institute, a ‘non profit research’ entity.
