Prediction: FOX keeps throwing Kelly under the bus and she bails on the network, taking their only link to a younger demographic with her. Also is it just me or are Mark Levin's shoulders slowly devouring his neck? Zuhzuhzombie!! fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Aug 12, 2015 |

Kelly is just as scummy and soulless as the rest of that channel and will probably put up with whatever she's required to if she keeps getting paid.

Tender Bender posted:The tea party/ hard right party line is that this is a personal feud between Trump and Kelley, and that when she asked him about all his demeaning comments about women she was only pursuing a personal vendetta because she herself was offended and she was overstepping her boundaries as a moderator. Since Trump is championing #gamergate garbage, I'd wager to say that it's actually about ethics in debate moderator responsibilities.

Today's surprising "stopped clock" award for something not election related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcy7qV-BGF4 Note that this is from the "Prager University", conservative radio host Dennis Prager's youtube channel. Edit: as usual, read the comments at your own risk.

Fox News made a big error today in describing Yazidis as Christian. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/08/12/yazidi-refugees-flee-isis-but-find-door-to-us-asylum-closed/?intcmp=hpbt1 The article, linked above, has since been corrected to include the statement "The Yazidi religion includes elements of ancient nature-worship, as well as influences from Christianity, Gnosticism, Zoroastrianism, Islam and Judaism." But up until an hour ago, contained several references that openly described them as Christian or included them grouped categorically with Christians. Oddly, the article itself has a corrected first paragraph, describing Yazidis as "the historic religious enclave", but the Fox News' front page still has the sub headline "the historic Christian enclave".  And, of course, neither the article nor the journalist's Twitter has language that indicates that anything has been changed since initial publishing. Strange poo poo. Does Fox not think their viewers can see a people as sympathetic unless they're Christian?

William Bear posted:Fox News made a big error today in describing Yazidis as Christian. What probably happened is that they hosed up by mixing up the Yazidis with the various Assyrian Christian groups/militias also located in Northern Iraq (and Syria):   The Yazidis live/lived in the area around Sinjar/Mt. Sinjar prior to ISIL attempting to literally genocide them, when the Yazidis had to flee to the rest of Iraqi Kurdistan. The Assyrian Christians live/lived in the Ninevah Plains region prior to ISIL attempting to kill them as well, and they also had to flee/fall back to Iraqi Kurdistan. It's actually rather insulting to call the Yazidis Christian, because their (non-Christian) belief system is part of the reason ISIL is trying to murder them in the first place: quote:Because of this connection to the Sufi Iblis tradition, some followers of other monotheistic religions of the region equate the Peacock Angel with their own unredeemed evil spirit Satan, which has incited centuries of persecution of the Yazidis as "devil worshippers."

For instance, was watching Outnumbered 2 days ago and they were talking how about some law universities were giving back tuition fees back to students if they didn't end up in a job at the end. The group of ladies thought this was outrageous, one said "And what reward do the ones who get jobs get then?". gently caress you if you don't get a job immediately after graduation.

Eh, they've spent a fair bit of time and money investing in her "brand" so she's not 100% casually disposable. That being said, if the base/fox viewers keep seeing her as some uppity radioactive female they'll drop her into the coveted 3AM timeslot until she leaves.

Is the professor from West Point in the video associated with it? The video itself seemed able to be taken out of the context of whomever made it in this case I think.

Btw, did any news outlet other than the Rachel Maddow show point out that Megyn Kelly claimed during the 2nd debate that Fiorina "opened a can of whoop rear end" on all the other debating opponents, followed by knowing guffaws by the other moderators? Now there's some unbiased journalism right there.

Hard to really care about that when it's occurring during a primary debate where a cable news channel picked and chose which candidates were worthy, hosted it, had candidates buying commercial time on their channel to get in, the deployed questions that were nakedly slanted to kneecap some and elevate others, etc. I mean yeah it's biased but it's sitting on an asteroid made of bias.

I saw at least one poll that had Carly Fiorina ahead of Jeb and Walker. Trump still on top and your VP pick out-polling your establishment choice? It would be hard to engineer a better backfire.

Basically, if there's a government policy that might impede quarterly profits then they're against it. It's masturbatory bullshit for finance industry assholes in need of self-agrandizement. It's finance industry technofascism at its worst.

They're not always off their rocker, but it's pretty common!

Couple of questions, Why are a good portion of baby boomers racist? Why are they so akin to believing fwd:fwd:fwd myths about the president implying that he's some sort of secret muslim/kenyan, without doing research? Why do they hate government programs such as welfare, and say..NPR, yet seem so willing to support an increase in the military industrial complex? Why are they against their tax dollars being used towards public education? Just some very basic trends I'm noticing on local talk radio.
