Media & Journalism - July 2006

The Washington Post spent an entire article discussing a satirical blog post by Ken Jennings without realizing that it was satire. In fact, they cut it to shreds so badly that I thought he was going off on Jeopardy until I read the post.

Now I just watched an entire 5 minute spot on Today discussing "Retrosexuals" that pointed to the self-depricating commercials by Dial and Burger King. Strangely they ignored any comedic value of the commercials and thought that it was a sign of a revolution by men against metrosexuality.

What is going on that the media (and a lot of their viewers) have no grasp of comedy?

Israel’s recent deliberate attack on UN personnel has shocked many of us. Similarly Israel’s attacks on Lebanon’s unarmed civilians have stunned others. But if past an indication of future is and if prospect behavior is a mirror of the earlier period then there is hardly any room for astonishment! It is rather consistent performance of Israel had been from its time of inception and any deviation form this conduct should be a source of a pleasant surprise, which in practicality will never happen and the statistical chance of that event is infinitely dismal!

The Israeli demeanor is characterized by worst possible racism, arrogance, terrorism, deception, lying and yet a mock appearance of a subjugated, broken, terrorized and traumatized nation! Israel has not only attacked the weak and poor nations but also inflicted the heavy blows on those who have given her full and limitless support despite all her criminal acts! Afghanistan and Iraq reflect its deliberate brutality!

I thought a Troop is "A group of soldiers"... Your News Headline stated " Hezbollah fighters kill 9 Israeli troops"...
Isn't this statement incorrect?

Our reporters such as O'riley and Blitzer alike have moved away from intelligent debate and have resorted to immature shouting and tactics like turning off others mics just to prove their point and stop the other side from making them look stupid.

A lot of people how voted towards the right are bandwagon jumpers anyways so in theory this should be the last hop for FOX news. Maybe ABC news can step up and provide us with the great propaganda that we need.
