NOT HOT: Roger Ailes wanting Patreaus to run for President. If MSNBC’s exec or a network exec did the same thing, the headlines from FOX and RW media would be very different than the headlines about FOX were.
NOT: the US media neglects to cover the massive takeover by the Chinese petroleum giant CNOOC of the Canadian oil company Nexen, which has assets in the Gulf of Mexico. Our Prime Minister approved the takeover because he had to appease China due to the lethargic American economy (75% of our exports are US-bound and demand has been falling for quite awhile). Chinese state-owned enterprises are slowing entering North America.
HOT: CNN does a better job reporting NBC’s breaking Syria scoop than NBC ever could. What’s up with that?!?!?! You would think NBC really wished they had a 24 hr news channel to brag about these things.
HOT: Soledad promoting another Black in America documentary.
What, am I the only one? …
…

Guess so.
NOT HOT: Cable news presidents talking smack. Really boys, I would let the people who were meant to be in front of the camera do the talking.
My weekly NOT rant: Tonight on Justice with Judge Jeanine: Benghazi, sarin gas in Syria, the fiscal cliff. How is she qualified to host segments on any of this?
“Tonight on Justice with Judge Jeanine: Benghazi, sarin gas in Syria, the fiscal cliff. How is she qualified to host segments on any of this?”
^^ Very few hosts, on any network, not named Fareed Zakaria; are “qualified to host” a show on those topics. You don’t need to be an expert on a subject to host a show (although it is helpful); you just need viewers and thus good ratings. It’s entertainment the judge provides not knowledge.
I just saw this on Candy’s show. They voted in the House this week to ban the word ‘lunatic’ from all future laws. Only one Congressman was opposed – Louie Gohmert. You just can’t make up this stuff.
I didn’t realise there so many federal laws being written with the word “lunatic” included that a rule banning it was necessary. Maybe someday they can pass a rule banning colossal wastes of time.

December 8, 2012 at 4:17 pm
HOT: Icon Jack Cafferty not renewed at CNN.
HOT: Booking election pundits requires approval at FNC.
HOT: Phil Griffin doing his own PR work.
NOT: Jesse Watters campaign contribution.

HOT: Spending problem. Government borrows 46 cents of every dollar it spend. Obama learning to play the fiddle.

^ Don’t expect our media terrified of being called liberal to say a word about this. Free markets, don’tcha know..
December 8, 2012 at 6:44 pm
Hardly terrified. Just winking and nodding.

Sorta HOT: Poor Jake Tapper, always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Hey, I hear CNN is lookin’ for a date? CNN is desperate with money to burn.

December 9, 2012 at 6:51 am
Well, she is not an Obama liberal boot-licker which seems to be the prime qualification at that other network, so I’m not sure.

NOT: Cable news likes to talk about new taxes of “the rich”, while rarely mentioning some are already in the works to pay for OBAMA CARE starting next month:

^ fritz3, I think Louie is the only congressman who speaks “East Texan”.

Hot in “post-racial” America: Judge Jeanine, Brigitte Gabriel, and Walid Phares. A segment on FNC where everyone was of Arab descent.

December 9, 2012 at 7:57 pm
We can start by banning Louis Gohmert.
December 9, 2012 at 8:19 pm
if we outlaw “lunatic”, “moron” and “idiot” can’t be far behind.
Then, Joe, they will come for you.
in the middle of the night.
in your NASCAR pajamas.
the ones with the feet on them.
December 10, 2012 at 8:50 am
Joe would earn a ton of points in my book, if he wore feetie PJs.
December 10, 2012 at 1:44 pm
That’s a little weird.
December 10, 2012 at 8:11 pm
And yet it makes me laugh every time.
