Negative Space: media frenzy
- ABC News: Toyota targeted Gabby Giffords!
- Diane Sawyer ABC News special claims Toyota targeted popular congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
- Markos Moulitsas accuses President of assassinating Arizona rep
- Daily Kos chief claims President Obama’s exhortation to followers to “bring a gun” triggered assassination attempt.
- The media’s lies work
- Why do journalists lie? Because they can.
- Vicious intimidation by the extreme left
- And by “extreme”, I mean anyone who is trying to blame a peaceful conservative protest movement for the actions of a deranged madman. If you’re doing that, you’re extreme.
- You can’t play an honest media
- Sarah Palin gets credit, when she’s not being accused of being unintelligent, of being smart enough to play the media for fools. But she isn’t: she’s telling everyone what she plans to do, why she did what she did; the media just isn’t listening. Then they write something stupid and the LA Times writes about how well she “played” them.
But you can’t play a media that’s doing its job.

“Getting hysterical about the use of war terminology in politics is about as hypocritical as one can possibly get, especially for journalists covering politics.”
