So Mediaite does a story of how Hannity doesn’t mention the Rally, and a story of how other channels kept mentioning the rally. Am I missing something?

I caught only the Bill Press segment, but I thought it very good. The heresy Beckerhead was preaching is an excellent learning tool, and worth repeating.

SOME TIME IN THE YEAR NINETEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO,
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT “DISCOVERED” SOMETHING “NEW”:

PERHAPS SOME DAY FOX WILL KNOW THIS, AND THIS TOO:

Well its no surprise thats all they could talk about, they know what they normally talk about gets buried in the ratings.

Mean while, in the real world of life and death, 21 US servicemen, within the last 48-hours, have been killed. Not one freakin peep in Mediaite about it, or the lack of press coverage. Instead, articles about Hannity, Olbermann and Glen Beck fill the pages of this site.

They must be trying to increase their ratings again by mentioning American favorites: FOX and Beck!

The small section of “Olbermann” I saw last night indicated to me that they were interested in reminding us of the intolerance, the buffonery of Beckerhead and the heretical nature of his sermon. To that end, I think Larry and Bill did America and Americans a great service.

“hundreds of thousands of people turned out for the event”

It’s all right Mediaite staff, MSNBC, CBS, NYTimes et al. Go back to your cappaccino’s and wine. As one leftist commenter said, it’s just the “little people.” You are so much smarter and better then the “little people” who attended the “Restoring Honor” rally. So don’t worry. You can be safe and secure in your snug, superior world. You won’t have to think about the “little people” again until Nov 2.

You have made a good point. we can’t critcize Mediaite for not covering the story. Mediaite is not a news organization, despite the belief of some of the feeble-minded, present company excluded, to the contrary. However, the fact that this receives some little (or no) coverage whilst the media is going on endlessly about non-stories like the Islamic Community Center or the Beckerhead revival and sermonette, is important. It is easier, of course, to cover the media’s “sins” of commission, but the “sins” of omission seem to be equally if not more important. A media watchdog needs to be particularly sensitive to this. Of course, I appreciate that this would be a daunting task.

Very well put. A very good reminder.

Well I guess that the article about some hair products company insuring some football players hair is about the media…..

What was different about yesterday ? Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh and FOX is all
MSNBC talks about any day ! How do you think they KEEP the VERY small
number of viewers they have? But even though Beck obviously rammed all
the childish nasty pre vitriol up their asses, they still came back yesterday, and continuing
today, with the FOX ENVY..

Yes, can’t wait for Steve’s next installment of how “DOMINANT” Fox News ratings are!!! He’s required to do this as a condition of his guest appearances w/ Megyn Kelly (Steve… stop leering at her the way a 12 year old looks at a Playboy… it’s creepy… and she’s way out of your league). How about a Mediate expose when one of these “DOMINANT” cable news shows actually beats an episode of ICarley in the ratings???

In an odd sort of way, maybe they think that is the only way they can keep their viewers from going to see what Fox said about Beck.

I just do not believe there will be any “How to Promote your Business & Win” books that can ever be written by the business model used by MSNBC and CNN.

How true BatBoy
I will NEVER understand how ANY business can
follow MSNBC’s Business Model of Inferior Product, Inferior Presentation of
Product and Marketing Plan of Bashing Leading Competitor all day everyday.
Is it POSSIBLE MSNBC believes trailing said competitor three to five times in ratings
24/7 is success ??

And no, American soldiers are NOT killed everyday in combat.

Yet 21 servicemen die, in just 48-hours, and there is no link or mention of the topic.

Does anyone in the Obama regime have any ethics?

President Obama’s top education official urged government employees to attend a rally that the Rev. Al Sharpton organized to counter a larger conservative event on the Mall.

“ED staff are invited to join Secretary Arne Duncan, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and other leaders on Saturday, Aug. 28, for the ‘Reclaim the Dream’ rally and march,” began an internal e-mail sent to more than 4,000 employees of the Department of Education on Wednesday.

A fine example of compassion, and of total ignorance. Don’t know if this mook has ever actually protested the war, but it is quite a generic look into the mind of the people who do. Leftist assholes that use soldiers deaths as a pretense to oppose what they view as American Imperialism. With most of the war protesters, it’s not about soldiers at all, they’re just tools to be used in political maneuvers, it’s all about hating America. This is because they’re weak minded little shitballs that sponge up whatever the marxist and tenured scum at their schools throw out there.

Envy is a terrible thing. But MSNBC will always be far behind Fox. Fox offers spirited debate, a range of opinions, and a willingness to cover all of the major stories. MSNBC offers a stultifying political correctness and guests who always agree with the hosts, who in turn always put a far left ideology above their journalistic integrity. Even if you are a progressive, you don’t need to listen to MSNBC, since you can predict what the hosts and guests will say even before they open their mouths.

Remember when Bush was president and you couldn’t do a news story without saying how many troops died today? I wonder why they aren’t doing that under Obama’s watch. Hmm… the media couldn’t be corrupt, could it?

Maybe after Fox promoted it for a year and spent all of last year and this year organizing Tea Party Rallies they felt as though they promoted, contribued to and covered their Rally enough…

They (MSNBC, CNN, et cetera) know their audience: informed, insightful people see this rally for the odd spectacle it is. And so we’re entertained by it, the meta of it all and historically cyclical nature of this “movement” – at least for a day or two. Kind of like reading the book “Common Nonsense” about Beck and his misguided supporters (I recommend the free eBook preview from Barnes and Noble, and if you like that, the whole eBook is only about $9 I think).

But don’t fret, there will be some other non-story to consume news hours any second now.

Keep tellin’ yourself that, “dude”! The hysterics you people display is beyond fun!

Educational institutions and the media are not out to spread propaganda or further agendas. At least not in the United States.

But it should tell you something when “100% (as you suggest, I’d imagine their opinions are not as binary as you think they are)” of the scholarly sector tends to reject or at least largely disagree with conservative ideals.

In any event, if you’re an adult, you should probably reread what you typed and consider if that’s really how you want to behave.

It’s a sister site, which you’ll note in the footer on every page. I agree with your point, but that is a sports story on a sports site which is always link from here. The appearance of a link to that story is much ado about nothing. It would be nice to see at least some coverage of the war coverage.

RRK can’t produce lies by Fox News or Rush Limbaugh so why would you expect him to produce the Biblical heresy by Beck.

RRK is a proven liar.

Yes, it tells me that they’ve never had a job where they were expected to produce, and the ones that they do have, they can’t get fired from. Maybe that should tell you something.

I’m in my fifties, and actually, yes, it is. The left has always had such a good time disparaging conservatives, mocking their intelligence, etc., that I’m just having a good time returning the favor! Liberalism and progressivism are dying, Barry is making sure of that, and it’s funny as hell!

Oh, one other thing, I know several engineers over at Boeing, these guys are top of the line. I’m told that that floor is overwhelmingly conservative. Why? Private sector. They’re expected to produce.

The Beck event was mentioned in Fox News segments but not in commentary segments. Hmmmmmmmm?

Fox went out of their way not to cover Beck’s event too much on Sat. The commentators on the Wallace Sunday show ignored it as did the Monday night news show commentary section. I found that strange.

It doesn’t matter, the point is that all of Fox is KILLING the left. I love it.

It may come as a shock to you, but I work in a field that, were the conservatives to be believed, would be overwhelmingly for their agenda. We’re not – there’s actually a good mixture of liberals and conservatives here. This includes the most senior leadership. We all get along just fine. Hell, some of my very best friends within my company are staunch conservatives. Doesn’t mean we need to disparage or dislike each other.

We are all college graduates (well, some have had advanced education while in the military), earn high wages and pay lots of taxes, and are responsible for some of the most productive innovations in our industry, et cetera.

Productivity and intelligence is not the sole domain of either “camp”. This may be another shock to you: I know many very conservative people that feel the same way as I do about Beck and his “movement”. I also know people so liberal they make me look like Karl Rove that think the liberal commentariat (Olbermann, Maddow, etc) are just as banal.

I think you’re caught up in a faux ideological battle largely fabricated by politicians on both sides that don’t really give a fuck about either you or I. I fall prey to it sometimes, I think everyone does. But that’s usually only when I’ve been drinking ;)

Hitchens nails it… A defining analysis whether you agree with him or not…Hope he pulls through…

“At the last “Tea Party” rally I attended, earlier this year at the Washington Monument, some in the crowd made at least an attempt to look fierce and minatory. I stood behind signs that read: “We left our guns at home—this time” and “We invoke the First Amendment today—the Second Amendment tomorrow.” But Beck’s event was tepid by comparison: a call to sink to the knees rather than rise from them. It was clever of him not to overbill it as a “Million”-type march (though Rep. Michele Bachmann was tempted to claim that magic figure). The numbers were impressive enough on their own, but the overall effect was large, vague, moist, and undirected: the Waterworld of white self-pity.”

So you have a pretty good mix of conservatives / liberals, all college grads, at your private sector job, but you think it should “tell me something” that most of academia rejects conservative ideas. “Dude”, maybe you’re not quite as quick as you fancy.

But I’ll go ahead and leave you to your devices – I see now that you’re arguing for arguments sake. Just never say that I didn’t try to reach a common ground or cordial debate with you.

“So you are saying that 21 servicemen that died is not news, but a shampoo company that insures some millionaires hair for millions is news?”

—Look it up on google and see which story is more popular, which one people e-mail more, which one has more hits.

Besides, do you really think the military is simply a free ticket to college, free healthcare plus a pension after retirement? You think we call them heroes just because they do drills and look cute in their uniforms? Guess what, without war there’s no heroism, without the possibility of death there’s no opportunity to show courage or valor.

You bleeding hearts make me sick, half the time you’re bitching that soldiers are a bunch of dumb rednecks that couldn’t get a scholarship to college and the rest of the time you’re bitching because they die in war. After Vietnam it was people like you that call them “baby killers,” and now you question my compassion? What a laugh.

You people call George W. Bush a coward for joining the National Guard yet you say nothing about Clinton who dodged the draft or Obama whose military experience is zero.

And don’t forget These Obama Voters http://www.capveterans.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/fuck_the_troops.jpg with their talk of how They want Openly gay men and women to serve in the military because They Just LOVE THEM Some AMERICA and because, Hey! The Romans And Spartans had Openly Gay men serving in Their military Too! So..blah..blah..blah!

The One difference Though, is that The Romans and Spartans Didn’t have ACLU ATTORNEYS In Tow, who Sued for the State for the “the right” to marry once they were In the military, then sued for the right to same-sex marriage living quarters, and all pension BS and on and on, like the ACLU Would Do.

That is, of course, since Progessives, whether they’re Straight, Gay, or about the Primary School Playground (since That was their Favorite New Religious Prophet’s place to pick up “chicks”), are all ABOUT Destroying the Last and ONLY Branch Of Government that We’ve got Left that still Works, which happens to be the one that they Hate The Most. go figure.

So let’s tear the DOD down from Within like we have The Rest of Our Govt. Depts. and Remake THAT Too! Start giving Medals to Soldiers For NOT Killing the enemy. yeah.. sounds like a plan.

Ps. The Romans and Spartans Also didn’t March to The Fucking Weather Girls or to Heart Of Glass Either, Proggies.

For obvious reasons, I can’t stop talking about Glenn Beck either.

http://www.sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/2010/08/during-his-speech-to-restore-honor-beck.html

He lies when he tells his sheep to “tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”

D REX said: “GLENN NAZI BECKS RALLY …..OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE MILLION WHITEMAN MARCH….WAS TO SCARE OLDER WHITE PEOPLE….AND HE DID.”

D REX, that’s a total mischaracterization of Beck’s rally. There is a huge difference between the quasi/pseudo Libertarianism that Beck espouses and Nazism, and you should acknowledge that. Beck is actually helping, in his own reactionary way, race relations in the country. He’s a race-baiter, and that’s despicable, but there were blacks at his rally and one was a featured speaker.
