DBKP Report

Gerson’s employer exhibited its “commitment” to “journalism” by substituting cheer-leading for reporting during the 2008 campaign. One reason Gerson might be so glum is the awful reality that the press owns Barack Obama, just as surely as Obama now owns the recession. There is no separating the two.

Big Media doesn’t understand the Internet very well and that has contributed to its death spiral. Instead of accepting the millions of hits sent their way on their stories (and the ads that accompany them), the AP is suing the hand that could feed them. Not sure what the word for it is in the hallowed halls of “journalism”, but from a New Media viewpoint, I’d call it “dumbass-ian”.

NOT ALL newspapers are dying; big city dailies are certainly on the endangered list, especially LIBERAL big city “newspapers” who filter the news through an snobbishly-elite progressive PoV. This writer still buys both the morning and evening editions of the local paper. But it’s one of the few with a conservative viewpoint–like the majority of its readers.

Other readers are not so lucky. Most big city readers are trapped with a newspaper that seems more intent on preaching Progressiveness, than reporting the news. Now that their readers have other choices, those like Gerson cry when they can no longer shove their PCBS down the throats of a captive audience. Better they had done their crying when their employers blacked out news readers deserved to know.

Readers turned to the Internet because where else were they to find news of the John Edwards scandal for 10 months? Not in Gershon’s WashPo. ClimateGate is big and it’s being covered–on Russian TV and Fox News and in the papers of the UK. Gerson puts down the “birthers”. Did WashPo deign to do any digging on this issue? No, it didn’t. It recycled what other MSM organizations said about it. Talk about second-hand news. That makes the Washington Post less informed–and more expensive–than many of the blogs Gerson whines about.

Who wants to pay for that?

Meanwhile, Americans still are getting their news blacked out by their “journalistic” betters. Gerson weeps that those potential readers will no longer pay for the privilege of being kept in the dark.

We’ll say the same thing we said when not one reporter asked a presidential candidate about his mistress and the massive coverup: “Do your damn job.” Because they didn’t do that job, readers turn to others who will.

Good riddance–both to the elite smugness of the MSM and to its apologists like Michael Gerson.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Just a year after the global downturn derailed Dubai’s explosive growth, the city is now so swamped in debt that it’s asking for a six-month reprieve on paying its bills – causing a drop on world markets Thursday and raising questions about Dubai’s reputation as a magnet for international investment.

CHAOS!

Freedom Fighters Interrupt White House Turkey Photo Op

The scene: the White House.

The time: immediately before President Obama conducts the annual pardoning of the Thanksgiving turkey. A tradition that’s 60-years-old.

Suddenly, chaos!

Armed fighters from the Turkeys United For Freedom (TUFF) crash the photo op! Taken by surprise, the Secret Service agents are no match for these motivated, well-armed turkeys. They free their brother from what TUFF has called, “a White House show trial”.

Our plucky president is concerned.

President Obama quickly goes in front of the still-rolling TV cameras to address a shaken nation.

“Good afternoon. I’d like to give a shout out to the Indians who helped the Pilgrims almost 300 years ago. Without their help, I don’t see how it’s possible that I would be here today speaking to you.

I want to tell you all that I’m unhurt. I also want to assure the nation that we will not rest until these perpetrators are brought to justice. I would caution everyone not to jump to any conclusions.

But Karl Rove did this.”

The former Bush chief-of-staff was quickly rounded up. But Rove had an airtight alibi: at the time of the “Turkey Incident”, he’d been stealing money from poor people and promoting fascism.

And he had witnesses: hundreds of liberal bloggers had already written about it.

WHAT happened next? Where the culprits caught?

It’s season five of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Orange County and, like the rest of the country, the downturn in the economy has forced some of the Housewives into taking drastic measures to raise money: Gretchen held a garage sale, Jeana sold some of her watches and cars, Tamra fired her maid, then forced her family to help clean their home while the lack of money has caused “tension” in the Barney’s marriage. The following montage of videos are some helpful tips for the Housewives on how to survive on a Dollar Store budget and, save Tamra’s marriage.
