Title: Move Over, Drudge! Post by: Howey on February 11, 2012, 03:40:43 pm There's a new kid in town (http://freebeacon.com/) promising to out-crazy your crazy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFci-eVxQFY&feature=player_embedded Quote Whether the victim was George Bush, Joseph Lieberman, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Charles and David Koch, the Chamber of Commerce, Fox News Channel, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, or Mitt Romney, the technique was the same. The left blogosphere would manufacture a smear or distortion or line of attack. Larger blogs and liberal news sites like Huffington Post or Talking Points Memo would pick it up and publicize it. From there the critique would jump to liberal radio and MSNBC and Comedy Central's news parody shows. Before long, the mainstream media would be reporting the misinformation as news that was fit to print. By the time the wolf pack reached that point in their meal, the prey had little hope of survival. Damn socialist liberal commie media! How dare they usurp the good name of the Teabagger Union! Wait. Just who does this punk want to emulate? Did I say Drudge? Nah... Quote "Our models are the Center for American Progress/Think Progress, TPM, and Huffington Post politics. These outlets have been at the cutting edge of ideological journalism for years, and it is time for the right to emulate their success." |
