reason onemillionandtwelve why no one watches cnn

Reporters asking the VP for a pic while on the job is weird. 

He should have called out Mattera for trying to pass himself off as a human being.  Clearly like most conservative “thinkers” he a sub-human trogldyte sewer dweller.

He should be happy Biden didn’t sick the Secret Service on him for being a C.H.U.D.D.

Reason one million and thirteen why Mattera is a scumbag.

Just sayin.

Conservaturd journalism. Keep in mind these are the same people who were complaining about Couric’s interview with Palin. Even Bill O’Reilly, the other ambush interviewer hates Mattera’s tactics.

The Washington Post said Biden’s claims on crime statistics were ” absurd ” .

This man needs to answer questions about the nonsense he puts out and someone’s got to do it .

He’s a public servant . He works for us . He’s got to be held accountable . As a longtime government tick , he knows the deal .

Mediaite STILL refuses to post the fact check of Biden’s claims.  Why is that, James?  Oh yeah, because he’s a liar!  Great JournOlism!!

 Wow tiny eddie putz actually commented on the topic- spam free! this might be a first people!!!

On the other hand his comments are still “sub-par.”

If Mattera threw a box of glitter in Grumpy Joe’s face, the media would giggle about it.

Amirite?

I’ll give Mattera credit, he came strong.  That said, dude still looks like a rapist. 

The question was fine, but the truth is people like Eric Erickson and Mattera are not journalists in what has become the classic sense of the word. A real journalist would be willing to report the truth no matter how they vote, and so they’d be fine with equally shaming Republicans and Democrats. In fact, as the “Fourth Estate”, journalists are basically supposed to be holding all politicians and public figures accountable to the rest of society. 

These guys like Breitbart and Erickson (and many on the Left too) are all about scoring political victories. They are Grub Street yellow journalists–hacks without any training or ethics who are obedient to ideology and $$$. It’s stupid to even treat them like they are otherwise. 

Of course, the reason they’re around these days is because it’s easy to make a buck off of exaggeration and fear and because the mainstream media has been giving politicians a pass and the public knows it so people are ready to listen to demagogues instead. 

 Ah there’s that familiar whine! The more you whine the more I SMILE  Rev. Wright!

 That’s “Rapist C.H.U.D.D” thank you very much

Biden should have sicked the secret service on the little wimpy prick. The only way these punk tactics will stop is for them to jump the wrong guy, and get the right foot up their asses! And Tina you’re right, back in the ’80s, CNN was the place to go for real news.

*Raise the OWS rebels! Lift Obama/Biden!

Bingo

Sound analysis my friend!

You’re aware you’ve been completely brainwashed into believing there’s widespread collusion among journalists to have a liberal bias through Journolist, right? Because if you’re not, maybe you should actually read about it from a non-hyper-partisan source before parroting Limbaugh again. 

If she can’t parrot limbaugh then what would be the point? Her life would be over! 

For exposing Biden as a lying scumbag…yeah ok. 

Shame on you for saying that about our Vice President.  Even if it is true.

So you are fine with Biden lying about rape and murder to justify more wasteful spending in areas that are outside the federal purview. Further you want to harm someone for questioning authority yet you are all for OWS? You are an idiot. 

Congrats on attacking the messanger and ignoring the truth.

Funny but false.

Brainwashed would imply that Michelle has something in her cranium to be erased.

John King, do you thjnk it was unethical for you and Wolf Blitzer to have a lunch date with president Obama after him being in office one week. Must have been some kind of lunch for you and Pappa Smurf to still carry water for this administration 3 years in. Does Axelrod write the scripts for CNN?

Starting with a smile to get the crook off balance? Then every cop in the country is a scumbag according to you. Sorry, you are wrong, thanks for playing.

Translation: 

“No one” = easily manipulated, low information Foxtards

Mattera’s so-called journalistic standards should allow him to get a job over at Fox News… immediately!!

Let’s remember that the Vice President of the United States had a reporter locked in a closet recently.
Joe Biden Locks Florida Journalist in Closet

King misrepresents himself every night, as a journalist/TVhost. Ambush journalism is the specialty of main stream media when it comes to the gop. And then all the msm celebrates the ambush with five straight days of talking about the ambush and on and on it goes. Kings broadcasts appears as though all the msm have the same producer & script writers.

Great point.

Translation: How dare you ask Joe Biden a tough question!

“Biden is right on his larger point: Police staffing has sharply declined, and the number of murders has sharply increased. But the vice president is clearly wrong when he says the number of rapes have “quadrupled,” when in fact they have gone down, or that the murder rate has tripled, when it has doubled.”
http://www.factcheck.org/2011/10/bidens-whopper-in-flint-mich/
He simply exaggerated. He didn’t completely give untruths. Another..
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/oct/25/joe-biden/update-joe-biden-says-murders-and-rapes-increased/

Maybe he should of done it like a real journalist Tommy Christopher. Wait in some field near the airport and scream the question from far away and wet his pants when Biden looks his way.

Yeah, but remember conservatives didn’t look into taking away her press credentials.

I don’t know what it is with liberals that feel the need to silence dissent through government action. 

Boycotts, Drop Fox campaigns, Alan Grayson trying to get the DOJ to take down a website, fairness doctrines, speech codes, etc.

Seriously, you guys should really purge the totalitarian wing of your party.

That last sentence…those high-fives would be well-deserved. Biden has not done nearly as much as the Dick. Some say the dick should be prosecuted. Eh…I may agree.

So you were fine with the lies and murder used to justify a war and the death of tens of thousands to pad the pocket of those OWS is protesting? You are fine with bailouts of billions to the fascist of WS? Take your tea-bag talking points and shove them, Jackass.

Translation: Mattera’s question is much more important to me than Biden’s lies!

This is the finest example of media bias. Instead of focusing on Biden lying, its shoot the messenger because he is a conservative. I also love how liberal media news always identifies conservative as a conservative but never identifies liberals as from the liberal think tank etc. Thank god for the internet so people have an alternative to this blatant bias.

King that was a stupid point to bring up. If you wanted to call Mattera out there were far better reasons.

He claimed Biden was basically accusing the GOP of being pro rape, or that Biden wished those opposing the bill were rape victims, both of which are a blatant lies.

Wow I didn’t realize that being a cop was the same as being a reporter. Thanks for clearing that up. Really.

“A journalist can’t take pictures with the Vice President?” Since when I bet I go to google and find hundreds of so called journalist taking pictures with the Vice President & even the President.

The problem is that no politician wants to answer a question off script.

““A journalist can’t take pictures with the Vice President?” ”

That was more a statement of jealously than anything.  

I’m sure that if a liberal reporter — or for arguments sake, Borat had gotten the opportunity to question Vice President Dick Cheney in an unorthodox manner about Valerie Plame or his Energy Task Force, many media commentators would most likely be giving high-fives all around.

EXACTLY!!!

“We must get The Situation’s reaction to this!”

-Cable news

awww shucks there ollie.  Are you a little biddy upset that Joe Blow didn’t sound as “bright” as when he is scripted? lol

Knock knock…

Citizens or their elected leaders, pick a side.  

If you don’t have an adversarial and skeptical relationship with your government you don’t really understand much about anything, let alone liberty and free will.  

Your either an active part of the cabal or your an imbecile.Serfs and Oligarchs both agree Mattera is a scumbag, and his material possession should be seized for the good of the many.  Or if this was North Korea (collectivist paradise) we could just eat him, after we finish up the leftovers that were our children.

Most totalitarian movements are started from a countries “left” population historically. The “I know best” mentality never changes.

You conservatives do that too…especially via the FCC aka government. You also have a long history of anti-obscenity lobbying in the TV and movie industry over the decades…so don’t even go there. Both sides do it. BTW…I am a true libertarian when it comes to speech. As long as there’s a willing audience, there shouldn’t be any “boycotts” or employer sanctioned censorship even though it’s totally legal and constitutional for the latter. I do not agree with those Fox Boycotts as well. Try not to shoebox people you don’t know. Who attempted to take away Mattera’s credentials? The beef is he misrepresented himself when he approached the vpotus. He was not a journalist, he was a goon like King inferred.

It’s amazing ain’t it?  They absorb copious amounts of far-right demogoguery and shun everything they’re told to, and their eternal battle cry?  “Everyone else is biased.” 

Like a gremlin exposed to water, she’s a lost cause.

 Few politicians answer any question from a script or not from a script without answering in the form of a question that’s miles away from the original question.  It’s a game politicians play to confuse Americans by saying nothing while spending/stealing money. . Lucky this practice only infected democrats & RINO’s.

To continue the “schooled” reference, I would say Mattera definitely schooled Tommy C. & Nando:
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=47030

It’s amazing the lengths that lefties will go to to defend Biden.  They both flat out lied. 

I mostly agree with you … I just don’t see the issues in as stark terms as you do.  Bear with me…I’m older.

I am not a part of some dualistic dichotomy that pits one side against another.  I’m also confident that I’m not an imbecile.

Instead, I’m an individual who has made many choices through out my life.  As I have aged my choices were less about “me” and more about my family.  Again my choices.

So, enjoy your rebellious nature.  I still do.

But be aware that life is hard and you have to work hard to produce.  Most times, the last thing you want to do is share after you have done that work.  Then you get taxed and taxed.

Don’t be surprised if older people tell you that you haven’t yet earned the right to complain.

Pretty sure that both turk and tatboy are libertarians, not conservatives.

The game has changed because the politicians now have to deny what they said.  It is all recorded.  I’ve grown to like this.

Valerie Plame…that was a travesty.

Probably the most blatant example in my lifetime was the Tipper Gore founded PMRC which held congressional hearings on obscenity in music.

I’m glad you’re libertarian on speech.  That’s why I said the party should purge the book burners, I didn’t imply you were one.

Conservatives typically don’t try to use the power of the federal government to stifle speech.  Unfortunately many liberals have.

And Biden’s office contacted the Senate press gallery about revoking Mattera’s credentials:
http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/189521-biden-complains-after-dust-up-with-reporter

Remember when Obama tried to exclude Fox from the press pool.  That was so ridiculous that all of the other 4 networks declined to participate unless Fox was included.

Turk and Tatboy put most of us to shame. Just saying. :)

And yes, they are I believe.

Excellent metaphor.

Biden’s office is being stupid. No defense for that for pursuing this nobody in my honest opinion. It just raises his profile. Biden is a tough guy and that encounter was nothing to get one’s underwear in a bunch. He should have just ignored it. I will apologize for my pugnacious last post there. 

It’s a Cheap shot from a ‘ D ‘ List journalist wannabe. If the question wasn’t Loaded with the word ‘rape’
 it wouldn’t get any traction as a story.
 Mr. Mattera considers himself to be a self-styled  ’ambush ‘ reporter who considers it his duty to ask the
 Dumb -( we have a right to know…blah,blah,blah ) questions as a Proxie for the great unwashed Everyman.

Just the facts, ma’am.

Little Joey is calling for an official investigation into Mattera for asking him a question.

“We’re aware of the concerns,” said Rothman, a reporter for BNA. “It’s being discussed.
“We’re
aware this occurred and the vice president’s office [has made]
contact,” she added, noting the standing committee itself hasn’t met to
deliberate the issue. 
The video of Wednesday’s exchange went
viral, as news outlets and the Drudge Report highlighted Biden’s comment
to Mattera: “Don’t screw around with me.”

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/189521-biden-complains-after-dust-up-with-reporter

Little Joey has come unplugged before though:

In October 2008, WFTV Channel 9 anchor Barbara West put Biden on the hot seat over ACORN, voter fraud and Obama’s infamous “spread the wealth” comments. Biden falsely denied any relationship between ACORN and Obama,
an ACORN affiliate Project Vote community organizer whose 2008 campaign
doled out more than $800,000 to another ACORN satellite group. West was
calm and professional. After sputtering, “C’mon, let’s get real” to
West and asking whether her questions were a “joke,” Biden’s handlers
lambasted the questions as “combative and woefully uninformed about
simple facts.”

http://tiny-url.org/Baby_Biden

Can he actually read better than he can write plagiarize?

Jason Mattera is a repulsive piece of shit. Almost 40 years to the day after My Lai, he stalks John Kerry and accuses him of lying about atrocities in Vietnam.

Yeah, trying to steal more taxes by using the word rape and murder pales in comparison to actually asking for clarification on such an outrageous lie, huh?

But you’re right about one thing: he sure was asking the dumb a question that your favorite media (pick one, ANY ONE) won’t ask.

Biden could have prevented the loaded question by not using the words “rape” or “murder.”

He could have also avoided a loaded question if he didn’t make up the statistics in the first place.

Isn’t any real man proud to defend his own words, anyway?

John Kerry called those fighting in that hell, rapists, baby killers, and any number of vile filth he could to impugn them all. He is the epitome of a coward. Like his buddy John Murtha. There are your repulsive pieces of excrement.

How funny how lib media gets when the real jounalist do their jobs. This young man did one good interview with dumber and the lib media goes crazy because he got one of their darling. Too funny. Wish he would catch Obama without his TelePrompTer. Now that would be tv to watch! Dumb and dumber caught on the same day!

Someones angry! Makes you libs crazy when your so call intellects are made to look like what they really are, STUPID!! However more funny is how the stupid ones make you guys look moronic stupid. Obama and Biden= Dumb and Dumber!

You’re right. Biden never said those things, but he knows the mentality of the sheep that put him in office, and knew that the GOP would be accused of such. That is called an I M P L I C A T I O N. Your sheep are experts is missing the truth, to read what ever they want into any statement. You are not very observant anymore, Dan, or totally disingenuous.

If we depend on the government for medicine, shelter, food and diapers (see Connecticut insanity) then we are owned by the government.  They’ve purchased you and enslaved you, (look at what ag subsidies did to our oldest and once noble profession of farming)

The great all-consuming arbiter of “need” Federal government is the last institution worthy of providing for those who are in actual need.  

Making laws that protect those in need yes, hell yes!  Fleecing the citizenry in a multi-decade, multi-trillion dollar war on poverty that hasn’t moved the needle what-so-ever!!  That is putrid and morally bankrupt..  

What more will the Boomers ask of the 5-10 ensuing generations?  Especially while they marshaled in most of the social and economic decay.  I’m sure they will be dreaming up some new entitlement to bestow upon themselves, their grandchildren be damned.

*LOL* It’s unethical for a journalist to ask a question?

Hey King, does your back hurt from carrying all that water?

How does one stalk John Kerry?  Close your eyes and follow the droning and lecturing, or just go to Rhode Island where he tax shelters his yacht?

Hanoi John made quite a reputation for himself concerning his account of his adventures in Viet Nam, his compatriots literally lined up to refute his tales of his heroism and observations.

Hell of a guy to defend.  John Kerry is in rarefied air, he’s one of the few that give folks in the “business” the creeps.

The troops at My Lai certainly were rapists and baby killers -over 500 in one massacre. Truth hurts, doesn’t it?

If we depend on the government for medicine, shelter, food and diapers (see Connecticut insanity) then we are owned by the government.  They’ve purchased you and enslaved you, (look at what ag subsidies did to our oldest and once noble profession of farming)</blockquote.

Doom on King for not being honest enough to represent liberal media stings done over the years.  King had a chance to show he’s a real journalist yet every time he gets national notice he’s parroting the DNC talking point of the day.

I don’t actually live my life that way but the point is very valid.

Seriously, instead of blaming everyone else… be innovative.  

You, exGOP, of course, don’t need to be brainwashed. A light rinse would probably do it…

Financial planning is very important…I’d suggest you all look into it.

I assume that SS will be bankrupt by the time I have access.  I have opted to plan for that.

I think we all know what he was trying to say…but when you start being autocratic and then doubling down….that just naturally brings out my personal rebelliousness.

That’s just wrong.

Says the guy who barely works for CNN and wishes he could get a gig at Fox.

Plus he is a tool.

You are the smartest person in this thread. Just saying.

As a journalist with class and integrity, John King just can’t relate to the trash-can tactics and ethics of the clowns on the right who claim to be journalists, politicians, good citizens, or what have you……so I can understand the mix up.

Halfwits on the right wouldn’t recognize a real journalist if one was right in front of them jamming their junk up to their throat…..well actually, considering how many closet gays there are on the right…

RULE #1 – IF THEY ARE NOT ON FAUX FAKE NEWS CHANNEL THEN THEY MUST BE A LEFT WING SHILL!

lmao!

yeh jealousy ,,,that’s it!

god it’s stunning how completely stupid peple on the right are…. Roger Ailes and Karl Rove love you people!

Your sheep are experts at missing the truth, to read what ever they want into any statement.

wow pot meet kettle!

Biden didn’t lie but of course facts and truth are irrelavant to the halfwits on the right…..these zombies are told what to think by Faux,,,,otherwise you all couldn’t even function.

The men who actually served with Kerry supported him. The Shit Boaters were lying scumbags: http://swiftvets.eriposte.com/

wow…amazing….Won’t Last A Day Without You
Watch The latest pinoy love story movies 2011

Your English teachers clearly didn’t do their jobs, which is ironic since you appear to be of the “SPAYKE ANG-LISH!!!” variety. 

Don’t let the bad man steal your taxes.

Very well put my friend.  I tried to add to it, but couldn’t…

i guess biden had no problem probably doing it because its a common thing for the liberal media to request it ;)

Prove it.

the problem with courics interview was mostly in the editing.  Real Conservatives can only do live interviews with the mainstream media. 

yet another dishonest conservative ‘journalist’

Frum has made millions as a wildly successful author, presidential speech writer, websites and journalist.  I doubt he needs a job with Fox, but for your argument’s sake let’s say he did:  Why would he say that? 

Thanks, WCinWI, but I’m not that smart.  I just take cheap pot shots.  Lol.

Wow.  Thank you from an objective article from Mediate finally.  Maybe you could school Tommy Christopher on how journalism should be practiced.

The question all Lib Media Hacks want to ask, but are afraid to: “Why doesn’t EVERYONE masturbate over OBAMO like we do?”

Boy, that is one of those “if a tree fall in a forest, moments”!

Biden is guilty of using a vastly over simplified emotional argument to support his politics. That’s something that happens in politics all too often on both sides. I’d be willing to say that kind of political language is less than honest. Mattera is a liar pretending to be a journalist. To say Biden is accusing the GOP of being pro rape is going from less than honest to outright lie. It’s one up manship of Biden’s emotional appeal and lack of forthright honesty. He asks a loaded disingenuous question. He’s not looking for an honest answer or to clarify.

Maybe he’s transitioning from journalist to dishonest partisan hack pundit. If that’s the case he’s following his dream. I just don’t think we need more of those.

“sick the Secret Service on him”

Should be sic the Secret Service on him, meaning cause the Secret Service to seek him out.

John King needs to call himself out for being a Obama shill.

How do you hide something from a Teabagger?

Put it in a textbook.

How many neocons does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

One to screw in the lightbulb and 35 to protest the Obama Administration’s policy on creating darkness.

What’s the definition of a “network” to neocons?

Fox News.

Agree.. And Mattera is a First Class Chickenhawk by every definition.

Agree. Let’s start with “News of the World” and “Fox News”.

I have never heard of this clown Jason Mattera before.  Sounds like a waste of space.  I guess he doesent like the facts that if you decrease Public Safety Workers, crimes go up.  Since it was the Police Dept. that gave the VP the numbers, he should be mad at them.  So, go ahead Jason, Piss Off the coppers.  Get in thier face.  I’d love to see that. 

With the addition of Erin Burnett who can blame them?

Put it in a textbook.

Fox News.

36. One to screw in the lightbulb and 35 to protest the Obama Administrations policy on creating darkness.

What is the definition of “terminal” to a conservative?   A socialist Amtrack station.

A neocon’s computor vocabulary.    PC – Losing your freedom of hate speech.

A teabagger’s definition of backup?  When you come across an angry Occupy Wallstreet protester.

He was wearing his press credentials during the encounter.  Goes to show just how numb the vp happens to be and now Biden wants the badge that was clearly visable to be yanked.  What a loon.

http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/189521-biden-complains-after-dust-up-with-reporter

Biden’s office has filed a complaint to have his credentials yanked.  Now we discover that Mattera was wearing clearly visible press credentials.

Melbo:

STFU.  You are truly an ass.

After reading through intelligent debate, we get this.  Way to dumb it down, GR.  argh!

these ‘unguarded’ answers seem to bring out truthful answers, so as long as the bloggers are polite and civil, keep doing it.  

John Kerry is a proven liar when it comes to “atrocities” in Vietnam. Virtually all of his 1970 congressional testimony was later demonstrated to be either false or impossible for Kerry to have known about or witnessed.

Wow, do you honestly think 7 years is long enough to wait before trying to re-introduce that tired, long dismissed line of propaganda? Truth is many of the Swift Boaters served with Kerry and there were 10 swifters against him for every one for him. 

Her husband’s blatant lies about Saddam’s effort to get yellowcake in Niger was the real tragedy here.

Blatant lies? That’s the sort of response the left has for any Republican making far less inflammatory statements.

We don’t really know if Biden meant what he said. So to call it a blatant lie is intellectually dishonet. An intellectually dishonest liberal? There’s something I’ve never seen before.

Feel free to give examples. The historical record says otherwise.

He wore credentials but they were not clearly visible. He put them on his belt. He told John King that. No excuses there. 

You think Fox News doesn’t do similar editing? They have been caught several times misrepresenting stuff. Plus, how exactly can you use an edit as an excuse when you are asked simple questions like what newspapers you read…seriously?

I’ll let you know when I believe you know what intellectually dishonest is.

Yes, blatant , as in obvious and offensive , and lie as in intentional dishonesty. Both apply and are accurate.

we also know his achilles heel  Son Beau Biden and Sinclair incident june 2008 elephants never forget
