Red Eye On Media Matters Training Seminar: ‘Can’t Train Somebody To Unsuck’

Video
» 86 comments

In light of a Washington Post report regarding an on-camera media training seminar for the employees of the liberal organization Media Matters, the Red Eye panel had a lot of fun with their discussion. First they featured a cartoon simulating what they predicted took place at the seminar and then Greg Gutfeld and Andy Levy really went to work on the “anti-Fox freaks” at Media Matters.

Besides chanting “Fox News is evil and wrong,” the cartoon predicted employees at Media Matters wear diapers because they must watch Fox all day and can’t afford to waste time using a toilet. The harsh criticism of Media Matters is expressed in the plea of the cartoon employee:

“I have no other skills. My job is to obsessively watch Fox News. If you take that away I have nothing, no friends, no family, no life. I am a shell of a human, deluded into thinking I have purpose, when all I really am is a conduit for my boss’s simmering jealousy over past slights.”

The video is actually much funnier than the text might suggest, but when the cartoon is over Gutfeld and Levy extract even more entertaining revenge. Levy wonders why Media Matters needed a separate training session, saying “I thought MSNBC was Media Matters boot camp?” And to top it all off, Gutfeld asked why even bother training these people, since Media Matters should have learned from singer George Michael‘s storied past: “you can’t train somebody to unsuck.” Oh boy.

    That pretty much sums up liberals in general.

    Least funny show on tv. They make all their female guest dress like they’re going to some ghetto club.

  • LibertySister

    LMAO, That was real funny! They forgot to train there reporters to say “Fox Lies” and when asked for example stand there and look stupid and stare off but repeat “Fox Lies”…. this seems to be the norm now for the liberal uninformed and total idiots!

    Bingo!

    But why is the animi-tron character in the hat calling the other animi-tron character “Eric”? When “Ezra” would be so much more appropriate??

    That way 1 person can have 6 or 7 new jobs every year. WOW!

    Yeah Bush LOST that many jobs, haha. Obama can’t lose hundreds of thousands of jobs in a year when his policies didn’t even take effect until a year after he was in office.

    See, you’re a dumbass. You guys all are, you have no idea about the economy because most of you are hillbillies that find intelligence threatening.

  • felixw

    You have to chuckle when the head of Media Matters complains that he only has 87 people tracking Glenn Beck’s activities…and he wants to put more on the case. Not a single news agency in the world has a fraction of that number of people tracking the President of the United States. And we all know how much scrutiny the mainstream media gave to John Edwards (zero…the National Enquirer broke THAT story), Al Gore, Acorn, NPR, etc. Siphon off actual government money for partisan purposes and you get a free pass if you are on the left. But George Soros puts an army of propagandists to work distorting the message of Glenn Beck….A message which more or less boils down to upholding the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Judge a man by the enemies he chooses to make.

    Don’t forget this Saturday is the tree huggers night out. They call it Earth Night and you are supposed to turn off all your lights at 9:30pm Eastern Time. I suggest we turn on ALL the lights in your house at that time. Be sure and turn on the porch light too. My town was lit up like a Christmas tree last year.

    I really hope you’re just saying “liberals do nothing” to get a rise out of people.. because your entire party exists to prevent liberals from doing things.. because liberals are constantly winning. Everything liberals try to push forward eventually becomes law.

    So enjoy your long road to failure Republicans, we don’t want your values or your stupid ideals, you guys tried to elect Sarah Palin, you jumped the shark.

    Not hardly, there job isn’t to record it, anybody can do that. Their job is to dissect it, edit it, and embellish it and then twist it. They pay 87 people full time just to look for discrepancies in one show (Glenn Beck). That’s a lotta people and a lotta money isn’t it for “fact-checkers”? Talk about obsessed….87 people pouring over every broadcast looking for a mistake..Too bad liberals don’t have the same zeal in the public schools

    Why not volunteer for an implant? Heck, it’s not like you’re doing much that’s worthwhile or very important, with that tiny bit of brain that you have…

    I signed out for media matters the other day to lend a conservative voice to the “Beck Enters Full-Fledged Mad Max Mode” post. Posted on March 22. They were one the few sites running the Stephen Lerner story but it was more about Glenn’s supposed overreaction then about the substance to the Stephen Lerner tape. Anyway, I found out when posting my first comment that if you are new to their blog you are automatically on “probation” until you post enough (not sure what amount is enough) respectable and appropriate and on topic comments they will screen your comments before they will post them. Well, I post 2 comments that took a few hours to actually became visible for any replies and thumbs up and thumbs down responses. At some point I get a response from a I guess an active member who accuses me of coping one of my comments (which it was copied..but it was my comments from a previous post on this site). I wasn’t coping someone else’s statement. Anyway, I get another response accusing me of being a right wing infiltrator. I mean my screen name is “Notreallyalib” so it wasn’t like I was trying to hide I was conservative. Apparently given all the other comments/opinions there were several more conservatives than usual on this specific blog post, same new like me. Although still greatly out numbered by the libs the liberal bloggers started accusing me and others of being part of a right-wing conspiracy to infiltrate “their” site. It was laughable but it was true. I entered two separated responses, one for the plagiarism/talking point accusation and one for the infiltration accusation. I simply wanted to debate with the other side. I figured preaching to the choir doesn’t accomplish much. Anyway, there was no disrespectful language in any of my comments. It has now been over 24 hours and they have not posted my 2 rebuttals. I have the feeling they don’t like dissenting opinions on their website. It’s basically seems to be a propaganda site. And of course there isn’t much room for dissenting opinions in propaganda.

    I had a nearly identical experience at the Daily Ko(ok)s site. Back then, my comments caused a HUGE uproar, then, it became impossible to find them at all.

    But the worst experience I’ve ever had was at the Huffington Post. There, I used cautious language as well, but within a week it became impossible to log in. Apparently, without any warning at all, and for no good reason at all, someone there deleted my entire profile, and erased every comment and post I’d made.

    But that’s how the worst of the left always operate. If they can’t fool you they find a way to kill you, metaphorically, electronically, and eventually, actually.

    The evidence of that is long and strong. Mao killed scores of millions of his own people. The same occurred under Stalin too. Among other atrocities, he starved the entire Ukraine for having the audacity to think for themselves out loud! And even Pol Pot, in his comparatively micro-version of “Communist Utopia”, managed to kill off several million people, in the most terrible ways imaginable.

    And I won’t even touch on that centralized govt utopian workers paradise we know as N. Korea today. Having read “The Aquariums of Pyongyang”, if I get started there, I’d be here at least until tomorrow.

    My point being, never underestimate the political Left. To paraphrase and turn a phrase, they’re not just wrong. They ultimately can and do become evil.

    Fox & Friends is not supposed to be funny, but it’s frakking hilarious with Host Estupidio Uno, Dos y Tres! (Peroxide, R-tard (said a la Randy Marsh of South Park fame), and the funny looking one for those of you in the know)

    “Red Eye” is a God awful crap show that is on at 3 a.m. Eastern. Who gives a rat’s a– what the morons who are on it says. It’s just Fox News trash relegated to the dregs of the night. I don’t know why anyone would pay the show any attention. Fox News must have some sort of deal with Mediaite because nobody and I mean NOBODY ever mentions “Red Eye” except here on Mediaite. Most people haven’t even heard of the show. It’s just pathetic.

I’d compare this idiot to chelsea lately, “look at me I’m saying something controversial but I have no delivery and no punchline!”

    If there’s a course that teaches how to ‘un-lie,” the entire Fakes “News” organization should sign up . . . along with most of the rest of the right-wing media. Rush Dimbulb would probably get a note from his doctor to skip class – which figures since he HAS no class.

    It’s my understanding that back when Eric Burns hosted Red Eye the show had at least a modicum of balance – which explains why Eric Burns no longer hosts Crossed Eyes.

    The “anti-Fox freaks” at Media Matters produce documented – and numerous – examples of Fox’s lies, distortions and mischaracterizations, which is what really turns Greg Gutlessfield’s gut. MM is a not-for-profit which would have nothing to gain by reporting falsehoods.

    Such truth-telling has become increasingly rare as craven multi-billionaires like Rupert Moredreck and his evil “Koch-sucker” minions pervert what used to be a fairly accurate and impartial national media.

    Are you suffering from a stroke?

    No, as some of the comments above show, it’s clear somepeople can’t be trained to unsuck, they just suck.

    Nope – now pull up your pants and quit doing your OWN form of “stroking.” Sheesh.

    You can’t dispute anything I said so you resort to insults. How neocon of you.

    Even MORE profundity from the far, far-r-r-r-r right. Somepeople are soshallow . . . er, some people are so shallow. . . .

    STILL waiting for proof of MM factual errors. Request #32.

    “Red Eye” is a God awful crap show that is on at 3 a.m. Eastern. Who gives a rat’s a– what the morons who are on it says. It’s just Fox News trash relegated to the dregs of the night. I don’t know why anyone would pay the show any attention. Fox News must have some sort of deal with Mediaite because nobody and I mean NOBODY ever mentions “Red Eye” except here on Mediaite. Most people haven’t even heard of the show. It’s just pathetic.

    Someone’s mad. How dare Mediaite not be fair like MediaMatters! You know, that activist site that really doesn’t care about bias in the media, but only when it disagrees with them. MM is a purely hypocritical site that participates in what it seeks out to ‘expose‘. If you think they are the model then its not surprising you think Mediaite are a bunch of righties part of a big right winged conspiracy. How dare they cover both sides amirite. Your view is so skewed and it is no surprise you favor something like MM.

    Also Redeye is hilarious regardless of it your biased sheep like defenses allow you to see it or not. Its really your loss. Just stick to leftist group think that tells you what you want to hear while Mediaite makes deals with the evil right wing shadowplex that Media Matters has been warning you about for so long. Did I forget to mention Redeye is great?

    “MM is a purely hypocritical site that participates in what it seeks out to ‘expose‘. ”

    Proof? Cite? Request #33.

    How is MM “hypocritical? Their stated purpose is to unearth right-wing lies and dishonesty. A typical MM article includes numerous source links to buttress their conclusions.

    The neocons have far more financial resources to do the same. Since they can’t FIND many lies or much dishonesty on the left, they are forced to make a lot of it up.

    “Mediaite makes deals with the evil right wing shadowplex that Media Matters has been warning you about for so long.”

    Proof-Cite-Say-y-y what? Request #34 . . . or #1, depending.

    When Mediaite takes a swipe at a conservative they’re “biased,” but when they take a swing at a lefty they are a shining example of journalistic excellence? Okay, got it.

    It’s no coincidence that several newly minted Midwestern Republican governors presented anti-union legislation simultaneously – legislation that favors Big Money at the cost of average citizens. It’s also no coincidence that these governors’ campaigns were heavily supported by those same Big Money interests.

    There’s nothing particularly “shadowy” about it: Big Money is openly buying our democracy . . . and sticking the rest of us with the tab – i.e., impoverishment and intra-class warfare.

    Though I haven’t seen it too often, Red Eye has some funny bits. It’s fair to poke fun at one point of view or another . . . as long as you’re FAIR about it, which Red Eye is not. I understand it was more tit-for-tat when Eric Burns hosted.

    @jrcmi
    You said it in part 3. It only goes after the right. You can’t be concerned with bias in the media and only go after one side while being favorable to the other without being hypocritical. Same goes for News Media Research Center. In my opinion, sorry if you disagree. The user I posted seemed mad at mediaite and accused them of bias. this is regarding mediamatters so if you want Greg lambasted try them.

    I do enjoy satire from both sides. Red eye does lean right and has a host who identifies as a libertarian. They do poke at both sides though. It isn’t all about politics and they talk about a lot of non political stories as well . Unlike other satire they also don’t go after other media that much. That is actually in the minority of what is covered on this show. There are a lot of clichés there spoofing the media in general though. Part of the aesthetic I guess. Its also not surprising that occasionally they would go after media matters seeing what channel they air on

    They don’t “go after” anyone, per se. They saw a need for true “fair and balance(d)” coverage of right-wing lies, distortions and mischaracterizations. The supposedly “liberal” media wasn’t doing it.

    MediaMatters.org wouldn’t be necessary if right-wingers didn’t lie, distort and mischaracterize so much. They do, so they are.
