Mr. Kurtz:

You were just talking about Randi Rhodes making disparaging, vulgar remarks about Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton at an appearance.

This was NOT just any appearance — Randi Rhodes spoke those words at a BARACK OBAMA FUNDRAISER!!! http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/04/04/barack-randi-cozy-as-can-be/

Why don’t you report that? It was on Barack Obama’s website for a while, UNTIL this exploded, then it was purged off the site. As a matter of fact, why hasn’t anyone else in the Media reported this FACT? Your show is all about critiquing the Media. Well, why don’t you start with yourself?!

It would be really nice if we could actually get a story from the Media about Barack Obama that isn’t sugar-coated, for once. While this was on Obama’s website, you all were slacking showing him throwing gutter balls at the bowling alley all week long. Well, that is not the only gutter ball that he was throwing. I can NOT fathom what CNN would be doing if Sen. Clinton had hired someone to disparage Barack Obama with RACIAL EPITHETS at a fundraiser. You ALL would be running THAT STORY 24/7 for weeks. You’d at least question Sen. Clinton about it. But, being that this emanates from Barack Obama’s campaign, is this somehow supposed to be acceptable? I clearly recall John Kerry taking a TREMENDOUS amount of heat for an innuendo that Whoopi Goldberg mentioned at one of his fundraiser events in 2004 — an innuendo! This situation is MUCH WORSE because Randi Rhodes was at a sanctioned Barack Obama fundraiser to make these vulgar remarks and all of the background cheering and jeering were from Obama supporters — this was an Obama sold-out event. The way it stands — CNN and the rest of the Media are tacitly exonerating this behavior — or, in the least possible scenario, covering for Obama. Clearly, this deserves for you to cover this story with more than a mention of “an appearance.” At least you can let the American public know that this was an Obama fundraiser, and not merely just an appearance.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

My answer: Keep your heads buried in that sand. I can list some lefty blogs that are no longer needed NOW. Don’t wait for the Utopia rush… do us all a favor and just go away now.

As for Howie Kurtz, he’s always been an asshole. My guess is that he always will be an asshole. Cafferty? It doesn’t surprise me to hear that he was guilty of a hit and run. He does it every time he opens his mouth on live tv.

And that guy is giving us his opinions on national TV ?

It is apparent to anyone who cares to look that there is very little ethical or honest journalism left in this country. The Post and the Times are little better than any tabloid available at the checkout line of the nearest supermarket.

Cafferty wouldn’t make a pimple on a real newsman’s ass. Just don’t watch these clowns. Just don’t buy the Post or any other paper that does not do it’s job of informing in an honest way.

What gripes me is that people watch this crap, read these cretins and then complain about how terrible they are. Do you think Cafferty cares what you think of him as he takes home his big fat paycheck? But he does care that you’re watching because that helps the ratings. And he certainly doesn’t care about the opinions of older women because that demographic isn’t important to their sponsors.

I unsubscribed to my online email editions of both the Post and the NY Times. I get information about them places like NQ. You read through their slime so I don’t have to. One or two readers reporting to hundreds of us doesn’t up their circulation.

Same for cable news. I wouldn’t watch MSNBC for any reason. A few good pieces, such as the one’s on Don Siegelman, I get online.

And I wouldn’t watch Cafferty unless someone was holding a gun to my head. But his contract was renewed, and probably contained a nice juicy raise for his dedicated work in the field of bashing Hillary Clinton. It all makes my head hurt.

If they were real journalists, they would be outraged that a person and their child died needlessly in America because they couldn’t get proper health care. The story itself is just incredibly sad. But I guess the media doesn’t care. They all HAVE health care coverage.

Just boycott the media — they’ll get the idea when their numbers drop.

That Jack Cafferty got his contract renewed is really a big fat “fuck you” at us from Time/Warner.

Hey: Back at you!

More and more in my travels across the Internet I hear echoes of people saying the same thing. Let’s see how long they last. Unlike Caffety, I don’t have a contract with CNN. I have free will.

And free will’s a good thing.

Eventually, the advertisers are going yell uncle.

Obama and his supporters are on the Titanic. They’ve already hit the icebeg, but instead of bailing into lifeboats they prefer to go down with the ship.

There will be no survivors on this voyage!

Email sent to Kurtz, not that he will give a shit. I am so tired of the media. Everyday I feel like I am fighting them off with swords, only they won’t die, they won’t fall, they won’t apologize, they won’t change their ways

Right, they’re lazy incompetents, they will not change.

But as compared to last election, we know their game, as do a lot more people.

So, their power is lessened.

Secondly, they have no talent, they don’t generate heat. In their world being cutting edge is very important, when the smell of mediocrity starts drifting from them, they lose hipness, they lose love. They dont like that, has been status. Matthews is a joke, right? With excpetion, they all are, they all know, no one likes to be left behind, ever.

They’re dying, look closely.
