"Mad Men" Anachronism Found: RedState Founder Spots Mistake

“Is this really what RedState is reduced to researching? To find out which BOOK on a Television show wasn't published at a given time; REALLY?
What a sad statement both for RED STATE and the man (Joshua S. Treviño) doing the accusation.
A term comes to mind; I think it is "what a MAROON"....”

“CNN can deny anything and everything it may want; however that doesn't change the facts on the ground...a nd this case is not excluded.
The idea that CNN actually decided to air this segment AFTER the suicide says far too much about the media in general these days, than it does to exonerate this specific news network.
I yearn for those days of yore when this country actually cared about the citizens instead of the giant corporations that have taken hold of the power. This is merely one more example of such a turn about..”

Bill Moyers Retiring From Weekly Television
Commented Nov 21, 2009 at 00:22:01 in Media
“Bill Moyers has been an intelligent and thorough journalist during a time when that field has hung up its collective integrity to dry. His reports have dared to tell the truth, so much so that the Bush Administration tried to silence him and actually were able to do just that by canceling his previous show.
The idea that we won't have Moyers advocating for the truth makes me wince and leaves me greatly saddened. Having said all of that, Mr. Moyers is right, he's certainly put in his time and at his age, he deserves some "time off" from a weekly grind. However, I have a hunch that we have not seen the last of this great man...”

“I stopped caring about what Bill Clinton had to say a loooong time ago. This latest nonsense that his holiness doesn't want to participate in HEALTH CARE because a commentator politicized the issue is sheer lunacy!
For one thing, it's a benefit for people who do not have the funds or wherewithal to get health care (what could be bad about that?) Secondly, who the heck politicized health care in the first place? Both political parties!
Shessh, you would think that Clinton would be shamed by his own hypocrisy!”

The idea that BULLYING is indeed any sort of tactic to be employeed by a supposedly civilized nation is ludicrous and must be put in perspective. I almost want to cringe that I can no longer even ask WHY the media isn't addressing these isses, that at one point in our history would have been covered quite clearly.

'America's Next Top Model' Puts Models In Blackface
Commented Oct 31, 2009 at 19:07:57 in Entertainment
“For goodness sakes, FASHION IS NOT ABOUT REALITY, it is about the fantasy of beauty in different forms and draws inspiration from the different venues. The author of this article likes to call this "Black Face" to which I take offense actually and is insulting to anyone with a sense of an adventurous aesthetic.
Fashion is about makeup, clothing, fantasy and your imagination; thus this piece merely took it all to a new level. I would have loved to have seen myself turned into many beautiful and varied nationalities and do not see how that could be construed as anything hateful or bigoted.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it's kind of fun to see ourselves transformed into someone else of a different nation, time or age. VIVE LA DIFFERENCE!”

CNN Falls To Last Place In Primetime Demo

“I can't say I'm surprised by the fall of CNN as their supposed news division has been a weak excuse for good journalism. Unfortunately, that network hasn't had objective and accurate news for many a year.
Sure they occasionally get it right, but their news is interjected with opinion pieces while being described as unbiased reporting. It's a disgraceful joke and it appears the public has begun to catch on.
Unless and until the government does something about monopolies, what once was the peoples greatest source and protector; our sacred cow of journalism, has now become more like a fatty steak gone bad.”

“NO ONE has earned the right to be B&t@HY...n o one! Just because someone has achieved a modicum of success gives no one the benefit of being cruel or nasty to another person.
I've met Bette and I can concur with Bronson's assessment, she (and her entourage) are cruel and nasty people who don't seem to give a hoot who they step over to get to the next stoplight.
Tom and Denzel I haven't met, but it doesn't matter, they have no reason to put anyone else down just because they aren't them.
This is total and absurd swill; one that is powerfully thick with hero love, instead of clear sight. People can watch or not watch these people in the movies, that's not really the point, the point is that they are no better than you nor me; they just may have one heck of a lot more money than either of us. That alone gives no authorization to be disrespectful to anyone..”

Yes, you can fly wherever and buy whatever, but it's all so limited it becomes empty after awhile. And don't even think about managing all that money.
