Joy Behar On Sharron Angle: “She’s Going To Hell, This Bitch!”

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/joy-behar-on-sharron-angle-shes-going-to-hell-this-bitch/



The ladies of The View were up in arms today over Sharron Angle’s campaign ad depicting a group of threatening Latinos menacing some white students. It is the same ad Rachel Maddow called “most overtly racist ad of this campaign season” on Meet the Press this weekend. Said Joy Behar:


I’d like to see her do this ad in the South Bronx. Come here bitch, come to New York! I’m not praying for her! She’s going to hell! She’s going to hell, this bitch!. . . . .

Krauthammer Slams NPR's Hypocrisy Over Williams And Totenberg

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/10/22/krauthammer_slams_nprs_hypocrisy_over_williams_and_totenberg.html





FOX News: "I don't understand the inconsistency here," Dr. Charles Krauthammer said on PBS's "Inside Washington" Friday night. Another guest on the panel was NPR's Nina Totenberg, whom Krauthammer targeted for her consistent liberal bias.



"Why is it okay for Nina to express opinions as she has tartly, sharply, unashamedly and openly? And she's an honored correspondent there; in fact, they mention your status here on ["Inside Washington"] in your biography at NPR. And Juan, because he expresses his opinions, he gets canned from NPR," Dr. Krauthammer said.

A Brief History of NPR's Intolerance and Imbalance
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/10/21/brief-history-nprs-intolerance-imbalance/



From calling Tea Party members “Tea Baggers,” to saying that "the evaporation of 4 million" Christians would leave the world a better place, to suggesting that God could give former Sen. Jesse Helms or his family AIDS from a blood transfusion, NPR's personalities have said some pretty un-PC things in the past. A look at the record reveals no shortage of intolerant statements and unbalanced segments on the publicly sponsored network's airwaves.


Here's an incomplete list of questionable and controversial content that has aired on NPR or has been uttered by its employees: . . . .

In wake of NPR controversy, Fox News gives Juan Williams an expanded role

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-juan-williams-20101022,0,4294425.story



The cable news network signs the analyst to a new three-year contract for nearly $2 million. Meanwhile, conservative figures blast the public radio network for its response to Williams' comments about Muslims.


Reporting from Washington — As NPR weathered a storm of criticism Thursday for its decision to fire news analyst Juan Williams for his comments about Muslims, Fox News moved aggressively to turn the controversy to its advantage by signing Williams to an expanded role at the cable news network.


Fox News Chief Executive Roger Ailes handed Williams a new three-year contract Thursday morning, in a deal that amounts to nearly $2 million, a considerable bump up from his previous salary, the Tribune Washington Bureau has learned. The Fox News contributor will now appear exclusively and more frequently on the cable news network and have a regular column on FoxNews.com. . . .

MSNBC finally, publicly embraces the suck

MSNBC finally, publicly embraces the suck
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/10/msnbc_finally_publicly_embrace.html



MSNBC is throwing pretense to the winds and finally coming out as a liberal alternative to Fox:


MSNBC, once the also-ran but now the No. 2 cable news channel, has a new tagline that embraces its progressive political identity.

The tagline, "Lean Forward," will be publicly announced Tuesday, opening a planned two-year advertising campaign intended to raise awareness of the channel among viewers, advertisers and distributors.

The tagline "defines us and defines our competition," said Phil Griffin, the president of MSNBC, his implication being that the Fox News Channel, which is No. 1 in cable news and a home for conservatives, is leaning backward. Fox's best-known tagline is "Fair and Balanced.". . . . .
