I agree Glenn!!

“Mediaite is growing to be one of my favorite sites on being able to find out what’s happening in the press,” and, “They simultaneously love and hate me. At least they try to be fair.”

Mediaite, I agree with him. You do try to be fair and you listen to him, unlike the leftists who post here.

Agreed.

The problem is some on the far right do listen to him and actually…and here’s the kicker, believe him. No kidding! At any rate, congrats to Mediaite!! Who wouldn’t want to be be on Glenn Becks list of favorite web sites?

I’d believe Beck over anything Tingles, Olberdouche or Madcow have to say.

I rely on Mediaite since I won’t mess up my karma and watch Fox in general and Glenn in particular, which is why I don’t comment much on his diatribes.

i tried listening to Rush years ago so I could critique based upon personal knowledge but the negativity was more than i could handle.

Reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine, I say. Having a bunch of exagerating right wingers manipulating the masses for their blatant political purposes does our country no good at all.

Steve didn’t say it, so I’ll ask for him;
Hey Glenn — How about making an appearance on “Office Hours“?

germ – stating the obvious and making it so.

A true fairness doctrine would mean publicly eviscerating “Jim R,” sending Ted to the guillotine, and making a small and personal Auto De Fe for “same2u.”

“Reinstitue the Fairness Doctrine”: i.e., have the government impose a diktat on the free exchange of ideas so that only its version gets heard.

“manipulating the masses”: i.e., the “masses” are too stupid to make up their own minds about government policies.

“blatant political purposes”: i.e., reinstitute the Fairness….(oh sorry, didn’t mean to write that)

You leftists reek of totalitarianism, but fortunately, you are so transparent that you have become a joke.

These are exactly the reasons I come to Mediaite several times a day. Even if I’m reading Tommy Christopher’s obviously and apologetically partisan take on an issue, most of the reports here are reasoned and fun. Plus, where else can I get my moment of Glenn?

Jim W.- Wild guess. Teabagger?

Ted, you can teabag me anyday.

Azarkhan – I just assumed.

Anyone notice how all the leftist posters are down-right nasty and rude on this site? Nothing new, but it is making it hard to read Mediaite.

germ – have you notice how the right wingers just do not and will not ever understand irony. I point to your earlier post. Hilarious!!

Koldys over at the FOX Fan Klub is going to take great umbrage at this.

But, congratulations Mediaite! And, thanks. This is a great site. With only rare moderation, we have only a few people who come over and use foul language, insulting every other poster. I attribute that to the high standards the commenters set, the high quality of the materials and the respect for varying opinions. In the blogosphere, this is a rare site, an excellent site.

Ted, this site would only improve if you would “move on”.

I’m lovin me some Mediaite too…props to Dan Abrams…Krak…and TC…..great work!

germ – appreciate the sage advice, to which you have obviously given much thought.

The far left prefers to dwell on important matters that shape our world and affect our daily lives. Earth shaking stories such as Sarah Palin writing on her hand or owning a tanning bed.

Now, Writer, we were preached at constantly during the campaign about character. If it is so important, and I tend to agree it is, isn’t the fact that the Drop Out Governor is making snide and snarky remarks about teleprompters whilst using crib notes more than a bit of hypocrisy? Isn’t that a character issue. And, isn’t that the story. I seriously doubt anyone cares that she uses crib notes otherwise.

And, as to the tanning bed, isn’t the issue that she had the taxpayers of Alaska pay for the electrician to make the hook-up in a governor’s mansion, the threshold of which she seldom crossed and that she sought to hide this expenditure and gave her staff advice and instructions on how they could best aid in pulling off this fraud and deception. Isn’t that the news? Again, I rather doubt anyone cares that she subjects herself to harmful radiation.

It wasn’t the left that gave us freedom fries, lapel pins, presidential bowing and the teleprompter. The leaders of the conservative movement, people like Palin, Beck and Limbaugh live for the sound bite, its their bread and butter. And TRRK is correct, no one really cares about The Hand, the issue is blatant hypocrisy.

You seem to mistake me for a Palin fan. I neither love nor hate her. Here’s the thing. Palin doesn’t even hold a state office now. Let alone a national one. So the left’s attention to all things Palin seems a bit overboard, if not demented.

i.e. the right’s attention to all things Olbermann? I swear this post had nothing to do with Olby, but I’ve seen quite a few references to the “douche,” Writer. Sarah Palin is a Fox pundit. Fair game. Much like the “tingles” “olberdouche” etc. etc. references. Which, if you ask me, strike me as demented.

I agree. Palin is fair game. Everyone should be fair game. But from reading many of the posts from the left, they seem to feel that certain people or groups should be off limits. If you can make fun of one, make fun of all.

>Anyone notice how all the leftist posters are down-right nasty and rude on this site? Nothing new, but it is making it hard to read Mediaite.

Goes both sides. I was one of the first people who started to post regularly here and was trying to be reasonable and have interesting discussions – not any of the flame fests that goes on every time now. Then at one point an avalanche of new users came onto this website and destroyed pretty much the entire atmosphere, dragging it down into a cesspool.

So then for a period – for the first time in my life I tried to out-troll the trolls. There were plenty of conservative trolls, so I thought to myself “maybe I should balance it out”. Tried doing it for a bit – but the more I was doing it, the more I came to the realization there just wasn’t any point to doing it. It grew boring, doesn’t accomplish anything and goes absolutely nowhere.

So I give my hats off to the people who come here every single day and say the same god damn things day in and day out – you truly have accomplished something in life that has absolutely no value or redeemable quality. You’ve won in something (internet trolling) that doesn’t make you the victor, rather – the exact opposite.

@Mediate-in-general: why are certain articles duplicated under different categories?

Mediaite is less openly partisan than the other media watchdog blogs like Media Matters or Newsbusters and is usually willing to give at least a fair shot at excesses from the left. Usually.

As someone who loathes both Limbaugh and Olbermann and finds Beck to be just bizarre (if not worse), I appreciate it.

However, Tommy Christopher’s posts are just, sorry, unreadable. The man can’t write worth a lick and he is just absolutely unwilling to do more than give a brief criticism of liberal/left excesses.

Yeah, Tommy, you love Olbermann and MSNBC. We get it. You don’t have to prove it with every post.

“I almost forgot he was a black man.”
Put your tongue back in your mouth Matthews.

Mediaite is a pleasant surprise. Fair and nicely balanced

Gotta hand it to Beck. What a way to ingratiate himself with the editorial staff here at Mediaite. Pure genius at dealing with his critics in general. Glenn, I don’t believe 90% of what comes out of your mouth, but I respect your abilities as a showman.

Wow… you spend a lot of time reading that blog, don’t you?

Don’t you have better things to do with your time?

You found me out. I’m in the midst of an investigation which may yield surprising results.

Really? How interesting. Investigating as part of your “condition,” or for a particular organization?
