Degenerating into the dark ages.

They did this in the dark ages?


Yeah,in the dark ages people were kept at a basic operating level of literacy and critical thinking was frowned upon....not unlike today, keeping the masses distracted by inconsequential bullshit like this, while behind the scenes, preparing for more consolidation of power, control, and empire.

Welcome to the double-aughts.

This is not news, it's fucking rhetoric associated with more distracting rhetoric, like why the fuck a health care bill is more important than the leaky southern borders, banks in collusion with the fed to maintain their ability to commit similar future economic smoke and mirrors, or anything else that would move society fast-forward towards consciousness and self-awareness.

Now that we have a new health care plan, I will continue doing my part to see that myself, and my children, and my children's children, understand how to treat their bodies so they won;t need to avail themselves of band-aids in the form of insulin, pig heart valves, or Bariatric surgery to correct years of self-abuse.

beck appeals to the inherent paranoia of those who are un-educated or ill-educated.
i posted a few months ago how rhetoric kills.
beck appeals to those who are angry,scared and dont understand the why's or what's and what beck offers is not news,nor any form of journalism.he does not offer context and repeatedly has been caught blatanly lying and making things up all for the specific purpose to incite his viewers,who are already angry and upset.
lest we forget the man who consumed almost exclusively neo-con and right wing propaganda i.e:beck,hannity and linbaugh and walked into a unitarian church and opened fore on innocents.

in the political spectrum conservative ideology has its place just as progressive ideology does.both are needed for a myriad of reasons but what we get in beck and hannity, and limbaugh for that matter, has little or nothing to do with a "conservative" ideology but far more to do with pushing a narrative to further a political party.
it is almost verbatim the very definition of propaganda.
hugh hewitt reveals himself to be a tool in just such a propaganda machine as he tries...poorly..to explain away beck and his rhetoric.if anybody actually took the time to pay attention to what has been going on you would find that both parties have abandoned their core principles in order to serve their corporate masters.
while the democrats give lip service to their progressive netroots base while enacting policy that serves the corporate elite.the republicans use inflammatory language to incite anger and distrust and use such banal terms such as :family values,fiscal conservative,christian nation.all terms used to fire up the base but when you take a look at their own policies you see a very different narrative.

in my opinion.the people who are becoming angry and frustrated.progressive and teabagger alike are ill-served by the likes of glenn beck.for while they have reason to be angry and frustrated they are no more closer to understanding WHY pr WHAT they are angry about,because the corporate media has utterly failed to inform properly its own viewers which has left these people vulnerable to the predatory antics of such douchebags as beck,hannity and even mr perfect hair hugh hewitt.
they should not be making million dollar contracts but be ran out of town in a cloud of shame.

The only differences between the Democrats and the Republicans now is the source of the money they burn. Democrats live off taxes and Republicans live off loans from China. Neither party delivers on any of their promises.


These are politicians we are talking about, this is not news.

Perhaps some day we shall have a government of public representatives, rather than politicians. That day is not today.




In the meantime, we can always shoot the fuckers.

hey next time the news stations are doing a report on rainbows and cute little gophers prances around I'll be sure to directly send you a link. People around the world will watch this, it brings the start of a story and as it unfolds people around the world will see it happen. Maybe it hits you on some personal level but people will see it and know the five W's. better to get it out then to bury the event because it makes you sad.

Crazy people on a military base isn't news. Maybe he went off his medication, but it's not news. no vote.
Man everyone seemed shitty yesterday. It's a miracle more people don't fly off the fucking handle IMHO.
Anyhow this is obviously news, but it's the worst kind of news. The anxious scary stuff that nobody can prevent anyhow. And one even can stretch out for weeks of fearmongering, until the next one comes.

It's startling how much coverage this is getting, now that someone from the white house has openly described what *everybody* already knew.

Fox News isn't news? That's not news.

Fox not news? The state-controlled media shills the left calls "unbiased" are even less so.

Yes, i have a particular disdain for all things recognized as legitimate media.

Those who would contribute to the field with a view to offering an alternative have their hands tied by the very types of people I tend to despise-Those folks who hide behind semantic exactitude when the foundations of their preconceived and programmed ideas and perceptions are challenged-Those who would rather tattle than deal, sue than succeed. Those who would project their clouded visions of a perfect world upon the masses.

^What the hell is this "contribution" to the Videosift bucket of mud other than someone who, trying to be popular and clever, litters the place with THIS viewpoint over THAT viewpoint? Fox over some other bereft, anemic news organization. The codex for the World's Media system offered to monkeys is "What distracts from the truth and sells the most plastic bullshit?"....nothing to do with truths, but half-truths. Little to do with usable information, useless rather. If it's not some bullshit about REP vs. DEM, it's who got killed, where and how.

I am sorry if I offended anyone with crude language to make a point, and apologies for using a colloquial term that only Brits aren't offended by. Shall I forgive Rachel Maddow for her continued suckling at the teat of her employer? I don't blame her for being just another talking, worthless head, the monies' probably pretty good. She has not ethic or morality beyond that of her own success and popularity. I can't stand her fucking smugness, her tone, her goddamn delivery or the soapbox she feels most comfortable upon....
THAT OF BAITING THE MONKEYS WHO THINK SHE HAS A FUCKING CLUE! Whore of Babylon bitch, like all the other, male or female, hetero or not, news assholes. Hate the other assholes and their pulpits as well, right, left, black, white, etc. There is no objectivity left in journalism, if there ever was any in the first place.

MaxWilder? Your observations serve only to satisfy your perceptions and to conveniently label undesirables. Re-read the comment I made, and you may find that you do not have the information you needed to make your statement T,F,or M.

MW You assume I watched the damn video for starters. You assume I attacked her because of her gender or sexuality, the latter I am taking your word for, because I don't know or could care less. If I had the power, I would downvote it. For what reason??...without watching the thing?? How about title. How about the site is littered with newscast blurbs that suit the majority? How about I can downvote for whatever reason I choose, as long as it does not violate sift guidelines.

How about....I am just as tired of seeing RM's face on the sift as I am seeing Rush Lamebrain, kittenz, members of the Atheist fan-club, or people being"PWND"!

For fucks' sake, can't you people see that the television news is an abortion, a carcinoma??

Much as I'm not a fan of Beck, he actually does touch on substantial issues from time to time. Which is more then most of his compatriots(Maddow, Olberman, etc) in the opinion section, tho they do occasionally albeit briefly. And yes they're all opinion not news.


Are you seriously suggesting, with a straight face, that Beck has more journalistic integrity than Rachel Maddow? That Glenn Beck actually "touches on substantive issues" more than Rachel Maddow?

You've blown any credibility you might have had. Gone.

>> ^Payback:
There's a new word out. It's called hyperbole. Google it.

Problem with hyperbole is it detracts from substantial issues, and directs to insubstantial ones. Olbermann is just another person using it because he knows people have a slavering love of "all things thus." If you're not using a position of authority to direct to a substantial issue, then you're just a talking head.

Hannity definitely needs to hire better researchers. But, we all know they don't actually do news anyway.

I'm getting Tired as Hell of Olberman's kindergarten variety show. Yes, Glen Beck is insane, do correct him at every turn. But this is like a terrible, terrible Daily Show. It's not news, it's a travesty.

Fox News and segments like these are exactly the same. Ugh. Rise above it, Keith, you're better than this.

WHO.
GIVES.
A.
FUCK.
