Howard Kurtz: I can’t believe all of Obama’s positive coverage
from Crooks and Liars September 09, 2008
After a mini-rant about how the liberal media has lost all sense of objectivity this election cycle, Lou Dobbs invites media critic Howard Kurtz on to set him straight. As anyone who has watched/read Kurtz over the years knows, he couldn t agree more. Download | Play Download | Play (h/t Heather) DOBBS: It is, I think, a fairly safe assertion to put forward that the national media is liberal, it s biased and this year, at least to me, and as an advocacy journal, I can say these sorts of things here on CNN, I think they re missing a lot under the veil of objectivity and the impulses of something less than objective, at least in my view. Let me turn to you first, Howard, just as a matter of straightforward fact, I believe, the fact of my opinion, anyway, I believe that the national media has revealed a lack of objectivity unprecedented in campaign coverage. KURTZ: If you look at the last year and a half, Lou, I ve never seen so much coverage and so much positive coverage of a presidential candidate as Barack Obama has gotten up through the overseas trip where some of the coverage was just gushing. In recent weeks, I think there s been a little more skepticism in the coverage, not because of any ethical re-assessment but because the race has tightened which makes poll-driven journalists wonder well what s he doing wrong. Why isn t he leading this race in a democratic year by ten points? You re right, Howard: I can t even begin to imagine how many voters Obama picked up while having to defend himself from accusations by the media of being a secret Muslim who hates America and won t say the pledge of allegiance. Is this guy freaking serious? Glenn has a great post up about the liberal media, which he sums up thusly, borrowing a line from Duncan: Your liberal media: no liberals allowed. Recommended reading on Kurtz at The Daily Howler . KURTZ JUMPS INTO THE TANK: Howard Kurtz is deep in the tank as he begins today s report. You ll rarely see a reporter recite a political party s line quite the way Kurtz recites the GOP line as he opens: From the moment Sarah Palin stepped onto the national stage, she was mauled, minimized and manhandled by an openly skeptical media establishment. That lasted six days. By Thursday morning, after a speech in which she chided the journalistic elite, the previously obscure governor of Alaska was being hailed by many of the same media gurus. The media s tattered reputation has not fared as well, not after the frenzy over Palin s mothering skills, her baby and her pregnant teenage daughter. Truly, that s quite a statement-and it s the straight Republican line. Palin was mauled and manhandled by an openly skeptical media establishment, Kurtz says. But go ahead! Just try to find Kurtz s support for that remarkable statement read on

At Last! An Audience!
from The Spike Nesmith Rage Machine August 08, 2008
In this premiere episode for Radio Six International, our hero discusses... waaait for it... waaaaiiiiit for iiiiit.... the American Presidential Election! (well, YOU fill an hour.) Was Obama's trip to Europe and the middle east eclipsed, in the opinion of people who can actually vote for him, by McCain's podunk tour of the flyover states? He chastises the British media for their pronunciation of "Barrick" Obama. And write down the date! Spike says something complimentary about George Bush! This one's a keeper! There's the price of oil (be nice, this is a new audience, they've not heard this guff before) and could it be? Really? A politician doing something nice? Hmm... maybe, maybe not. Britain's Channel 4 incurs the wrath of the regulatory body for showing a skewed anti-global warming documentary, and what's the right way to respond to pokes and requests on Facebook? Speaking of, joineth thou the Rage Machine Facebook Group. NOW! RIGHT NOW! DO IT! http:/...

It's Much Too-oo Late For Goodbyes
from The Spike Nesmith Rage Machine June 09, 2008
It’s finally over, in time for it all to start all over again. As Hillary scoops the Democratic nomination, Spike talks about…. what? Oh, he did? Obama? Really? B-but six months ago… Hmm. It’s finally over, in time for it all to start all over again. As OBAMA scoops the Democratic nomination, Spike talks about the primary as a whole and looks ahead to five more months of this guff, intensified. Well, at least he’ll have plenty to talk about, right? Questions: What links (never a frown with) Gordon Brown to scary mentalist Derren Brown, other than the name? Why is Google turning into an AOL/MySpace hybrid? How well does Tony Blair know his Bible? Who says Britain’s “moral vacuum” is turning formerly good Christians into Islamic fundamentalists, and why? And how does that relate to the apparently moribund world of local radio? What can stop kids smoking and drinking? Are internet users ruthless and selfish? And what’s WITH that slutty mermaid…? All the answers, and much more, are in these eighty action-packed minutes of Rage. Don’t forget to kee pin touch with comments/complaints/factoids/free porn at SpikeShow.com. Does you Facebook?

RetroVision Theater Presents Held for Ransom 1938
from RetroVision Media June 06, 2008
Blanche Mehaffey heads the cast as FBI agent Betty Mason. At the risk of her own neck, Betty pursues the kidnappers of a wealthy businessman. She also juggles the affection of her partner Morrison (Jack Mulhall) and the victim's son Scott (Grant Withers). After five yarn-provoking reels, the film finally roars into life with a truly exciting climactic shootout. Though Blanche Mehaffey had been in films since the silent days, she never quite attained stardom, and was still being referred to as an "unknown" by the 1938 trade papers. Despite the description, this is not a bad movie.

RetroVision Theater Presents The Lady Says No
from RetroVision Media June 04, 2008
The lady of the title is author Dorinda Hatch (Joan Caulfield), who writes a scathing best-seller in which she trashes all men. Photographer Bill Shelby (David Niven) vows to make Dorinda eat her words, thereby proving the superiority of the male of the species. Suffice to say that he doesn't succeed--at least until the very, very end. The middle portion of The Lady Says No consists of a surrealistic dream sequence in which Dorinda realizes that she loves Bill despite his rampant chauvinism. This film is not a likely candidate for screening at the next N.O.W. meeting. Lady Says No was produced and directed by Frank Ross, who at the time was married to star Joan Caulfield.

A revised and expanded version was printed in Ellison's 1976 story collection The Beast that Shouted Love at the Heart of the World, and Ellison continued the story in the graphic novel Vic and Blood. The film version is often cited as an inspiration for George Miller's Mad Max though Miller has said he didn't view Jones' film until after he had completed his own [citation needed]. The movie was also distributed after the initial run under the name, "Psycho Boy and His Killer Dog" among other titles. This description is from Wikipedia Click here to download The Movie Store
