Ron Paul Highlights in 2/22/2012 CNN AZ Presidential Debate

FOX News’ Bill O’Reilly, VS Oliver Stone’s son Sean – (Talk Iran and Islam)

Sean Stone attempts to Un – Wash Bill O’Lielly’s addled excuse for a brain… Oliver Stone recently admitted that he would vote Ron Paul over Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro

Sean Stone, the son of esteemed but controversial director Oliver Stone, appeared on Fox News’ ”The O’Reilly Factor” Monday night to discuss his recent trip to Iran, during which he converted to Islam.

Now Stone objected to the word convert since he claimed he still believes in the same Judeo-Christian god, but regardless of how you phrase it O’Reilly was curious how Stone, whose father was born half-Jewish, could support a leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has claimed that the Holocaust never happened.

“With Ahmadinejad, he’s very misunderstood,” Stone said.

While Stone said there is ”no room for Holocaust denial,” he tried to explain Ahmadinejad’s virulently anti-Semitic rhetoric as a result of Westerners meddling in Middle Eastern affairs.

The Iranians have a problem with “imperialism as a longstanding policy in the region.”

Throughout the interview O’Reilly pressed Stone on the extremists in Iran while Stone tried to defend the Iranians dislike of the West without denouncing the United States himself.

O’Reilly compared visiting Iran now to visiting Germany in the 1930s and talking with Adolf Hitler, suggesting Stone is a pawn. Stone presented himself as an ambassador, one who asked the government to “stop with this ‘down with America’ nonsense.”

Which side of the discussion you favor depends on your view of international politics — or lack thereof — but it is clear the younger Stone has picked up a few things from his father.

Oliver Stone is famous not just for his films but for his politics, which recently led him to make a film about various South American leaders, including Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. Chavez, like Ahamdinejad, is outspoken about his distaste for the United States.

So with both Stones serving as unofficial U.S. ambassadors, who do you think ends their denunciation of the stars and stripes first, Chavez or Ahamdinejad?

Pat Buchanan Is Out At MSNBC — And He Is NOT Happy

We have been seeing this a lot lately. As mainstream commentators get axed, and censored “left and right”  (OK we do not agree with many of them anyway..) – They are turning on their former masters. From Phil Donahue, to Glenn Beck… These media talking heads are finding out what we have known all these years. You are not getting this airtime to state YOUR opinions… You are there to support the Elite. When you do not do that – You GONE.

This system of rewarding the good water haulers, and punishing the bad ones, has a shocking effect on those who remain in the employ of the propagandists. Just like in any other industry, or sector…. You learn pretty fast that, “There but for the grace of the big boss, go I”.

Pat has also been kind to Ron Paul, which I am sure didn’t help him much in the eyes of the Mockingbird “programmers”!

Give us a call Pat.....

Pat Buchanan has finally been canned at MSNBC.

The ousting was over Buchanan’s  controversial book, “Suicide of a Superpower:  Will America Survive to 2025?” MSNBC’s president Phil Griffin had asked Buchanan not to appear on the network while he was promoting the book, which includes ideas about the connection between ethnic diversity and America’s decline that civil rights organizations have deemed racist and anti-Semitic.

Buchanan has not appeared on the network since October. And now he’s out for good.

In a blog post for The American Conservative published today, Buchanan lashed out at the Anti-Defamation League and Color of Change for seeking his firing.

After going point by point through the criticisms of his book, Buchanan really turned up the heat in the closing paragraphs:

The modus operandi of these thought police at Color of Change and ADL is to brand as racists and anti-Semites any writer who dares to venture outside the narrow corral in which they seek to confine debate. All the while prattling about their love of dissent and devotion to the First Amendment, they seek systematically to silence and censor dissent.

Without a hearing, they smear and stigmatize as racist, homophobic, or anti-Semitic any who contradict what George Orwell once called their “smelly little orthodoxies.” They then demand that the heretic recant, grovel, apologize, and pledge to go forth and sin no more.

Defy them, and they will go after the network where you work, the newspapers that carry your column, the conventions that invite you to speak. If all else fails, they go after the advertisers.

I know these black listers. They operate behind closed doors, with phone calls, mailed threats, and off-the-record meetings. They work in the dark because, as Al Smith said, nothing un-American can live in the sunlight.

You can still catch Buchanan on The McLaughlin Group, where he can be found yelling at a bunch of political analysts most Sundays.

Pat Buchanan Officially Out At MSNBC: Says ‘Blacklisted, But Not Beaten’

Here is one major reason WHY the MSM do not like to Rock the Boat – “Access Journalism”

This is what its all about…. You say what politicians and corporations want you to say, you ACT as their personal PR vehicles, or… NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Example:

Apple Retaliates Against New York Times For Exposing Apple’s Labor Practices (Telling the Truth)

Business Insider (Warren Buffet inc)

Apple appears to be retaliating against The New York Times for its excellent series of articles on Apple’s manufacturing practices.

Those articles, which, among other things, explained why Apple has moved its manufacturing overseas and why no companies build high-tech gadgets in the U.S. anymore, increased the scrutiny of how Apple makes iPhones and iPads.

The articles also unearthed details that Apple presumably did not want emphasized—including how hard the people who make iPhones and iPads work and how little money they make, as well as how many Americans have been left jobless by the industry’s move overseas.

Apple has since responded to these stories and others by beefing up its monitoring of its supply chain and defending its decision to build products in China. And sophisticated New York Times readers at least now understand precisely why Apple builds products in China—and why it has no choice to but to do so. (This trend is not Apple’s fault, and it is not incumbent upon Apple to fix America’s problems.)

But instead of thanking The New York Times for focusing attention on this important issue, Apple is apparently retaliating against it.

 

“Thank you, sir. May we have another?”

In the past week, Apple’s famously aggressive PR team gave the Wall Street Journal an exclusive interview with CEO Tim Cook—an interview that produced an important scoop about how Apple is effectively merging the app functionality of its iPhoneand Mac operating systems.

Apple also gave an exclusive interview with Phil Schiller, Apple’s marketing chief, to a dazzled John Gruber, a blogger who runs a popular Apple fan site.

And what did The New York Times get?

Squat.*

Erik Wemple of The Washington Post spoke to a source at The New York Times who offered the paper’s theory for the snub:

“They are playing access journalism … I’ve heard it from people inside Apple: They said, ‘look, you guys are going to get less access based on the iEconomy series.’”

Sour grapes?

Perhaps.

But also probably the truth.

This, of course, is exactly the way the traditional mainstream media game is played. If you want to be fed “scoops” and given “exclusive interviews,” you have to toe a company’s line. And no company plays this game harder and more effectively than Apple, which is so popular with readers that it can bless a no-name journalist or publication with star status overnight.

Based on our experience and others, Apple’s PR team does everything it can to hand out favors to journalists who write articles that it approves of and punish those who don’t. This attempted manipulation consists of a variety of standard carrot and stick techniques, most of which are used to some extent by other companies as well.

The carrots include invitations to Apple’s famous product launch events, flattery, and “exclusive” access to some of Apple’s executives. The sticks include launch-event snubs, guilt trips, and the silent treatment.

So it would certainly be no surprise to us if The New York Times is now serving some time in Apple’s penalty box.

* The NYT’s gadget guru, David Pogue, did get a sneak-preview review copy of Apple’s new operating system for a week, which is another favor Apple PR gives to approved journalists. But he does not appear to have gotten access to Apple’s execs, the way John Gruber and the WSJ did. It would have been self-defeating for Apple PR to completely snub Pogue, who has his own following and who generally writes breathless reviews of Apple products. So Apple’s retaliation, in other words, appears to be cleverly subtle. Did we mention that Apple’s PR team is really good at this game?

‘Colbert Report’ off air; network offers no explanation

CS Monitor

Comedy Central’s “Colbert Report” is off the air, and it’s a mystery why.

An expected live version of the show was replaced by a repeat Wednesday. Thursday’s live show was off, too.

The network said it was airing the repeats “due to unforeseen circumstances” but offered no other explanation.

The Wall Street Journal cited sources familiar with the Report when it reported that the shows were canceled due to an “emergency in Mr. Colbert’s family.”
Stephen Colbert’s popular “fake commentary” program airs Monday through Thursday, following “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart.

Glenn Beck: Fox News told me to shut up Host claims network tried to “censor” his reporting

Imagine if he had told the WHOLE truth.... Kinda hard to feel sorry for Beck

WND

Did Fox News try to censor Glenn Beck before the media giant left the cable network last year?

The answer is yes, according to Beck, who made the disclosure this week on his new television program on GBTV.com.

Moyers had said Soros has “been the victim, of course, of Glenn Beck and the right-wing, the Fox News assassins.”

In response to Moyers’ comment, Beck explained that his own former network tried to get him to clam up about his constant reporting on what he felt was Soros’ fiendish agenda to harm the American way of life.

“Here’s the real reason why George Soros is worried about little old me and the assassins, because I know the truth about him,” said Beck.

“Everyone – including the assassins [at Fox News] – told me, ‘You wanna shut up about George Soros?’

“No. No I don’t. Nope. Doesn’t make my life easier. Doesn’t make me more popular. Doesn’t do anything, except I am allowed to end my days saying I told the truth. I did what somebody should have done and tell the truth. The truth has no agenda. The truth will set you free. The truth needs to be held like a sword and a shield. He should be worried. He should be worried because I’m going to continue to expose him when he finds out the role he plays in our next little book coming out this spring. He’ll be up all night on the phone with Bill Moyers crying himself to sleep.”

Beck left the Fox News Channel last year after hosting a popular, hour-long, weekday program
on the network.

His show had been the target of intense controversy including boycotts by some.

WND reported one organization that led a crusade demanding Fox News fire Beck is, in fact, backed by Soros and is tied to many of the liberal activists Beck routinely excoriated on his show.

Jewish Funds for Justice, or JFSJ, a charity that campaigns for social change, delivered a petition with 10,000 signatures to Fox News in protest of a program in which Beck specifically targeted Soros, calling the businessman the “puppet master.” JFSJ deemed the show anti-Semitic.

WND media analyst Kathy Shaidle reported on a forecast Beck made as he was leaving Fox.

“He made a provocative vow to make gloating progressives eat their celebratory words,” Shaidle wrote, “telling them on his radio show, ‘One year from now, you on the left will be crapping yourself so much, you haven’t crapped in your pants as much as you will in a year from now. … You’ll crap yourself more than when you were a baby. And you will find Jesus.’”
