I love how people react when these things happen.
"Oh my god! No!"
Settle down, folks, it's a pie.
It's interesting to consider, though, how difficult it would be to smuggle an uncovered pie. I'd think a billy club would be easier (and obviously way more dangerous) which tells me that the security team should really be canned.


More likely he snuck in a small tube of shaving cream and a folded paper receptacle.

This one has some extra footage of the assailant being congratulated held(?) congratulated by police.

It doesnt add anything, it is a dupe. it might as well be a minute of a black screen.


Fuck. Off

Well, the intention was there but the promote word was too different then what is accepted by dumbot. But its sifted now so... no point in actually doing it.

Thats a really shitty video, I dont see any pie. If there is a different angle I would replace it, this doesn't show anything. They could all have been high fiving.


To my knowledge, there was only one camera in the room. I was watching live as it happened, and have seen on the news since. I don't think you will see another angle unless someone happened to be recording with their phone.

I don't think he was talking about lack of whistleblowers in general...but whistleblowers from within the Murdoch organization.

BTW...this just in "Sean Hoare, the former News of the World showbiz reporter who was the first named journalist to allege Andy Coulson was aware of phone hacking by his staff, has been found dead, the Guardian has learned.">> ^radx:

How ironic that Olbermann is complaining, indirectly, about a lack of whistleblowers.
The entire Murdoch/NotW scandal is based almost solely on the relentless work of the Guardian's Nick Davies, who kept digging and digging until they couldn't bury it anymore. The very same Nick Davies who brought the Guardian and Julian Assange together, the same Nick Davies who is very outspoken with regards to the mistreatment of, allegedly, the most prominent whistleblower of our days -- Bradley Manning.

if net neutrality isn't free speech, what about media consolidation?
Should rupert murdoch be able to buy up every cable station on your cable tv?

Net neutrality is so simple that analogies just aren't needed.

Let's say I subscribe to AT&T's U-verse video on demand service. I can watch HD movies all day on it, but for some reason, HD movies on netflix just isn't working right. Because AT&T has a private network that it's own video on demand service is running on.

Thanks reason.tv, for taking AT&T cash (and making stupid analogies) so I can't possibly get HD movies from netflix.

Was that Rupert Murdoch not laughing at 4:31?
