Cable news networks obsess over Teresa Heinz Kerry comment; downplay Tribune-Review's right-wing history

On July 26, the cable news networks devoted extensive air time to Teresa Heinz Kerry's exchange with an employee of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, a conservative daily newspaper owned by Richard Mellon Scaife (known as the "Funding Father of the Right"), who paid for the controversial anti-Clinton Arkansas Project.

While the cable networks did numerous stories on the incident between Heinz Kerry and the Tribune-Review employee, they didn't spend much time explaining why Heinz Kerry doesn't like the paper or the fact that Colin McNickle, the journalist who had the exchange with Heinz Kerry, is the newspaper's editorial page editor and has penned columns attacking the Kerry-Edwards '04 ticket. For example, in a July 18 column, McNickle accused Senators John Kerry and John Edwards of being "two Johns pimping for a populism that can only perpetuate poverty." In a 2002 column, titled "We need more Ann Coulters," McNickle wrote, "e need more Ann Coulters. And we need them to ratchet it up and throw more stones." His reporting from the 2004 Democratic National Convention was advertised by the Tribune-Review as follows: "It's a dirty job dealing with liberals, but somebody's gotta do it."

On News from CNN, for example, anchor Wolf Blitzer noted, "There is a long history between her and that newspaper in Pittsburgh as a lot of us who cover politics fully understand." Blitzer didn't bother explaining that "history." He did note later in the day -- after repeated CNN reports of the incident that failed to do any more that identify the Tribune-Review as "conservative" -- that the Tribune-Review is owned by Scaife, "who has donated millions to conservative causes." But if cable news networks had bothered to address the Tribune-Review's "history," viewers might have had a better understanding for Heinz Kerry's unhappiness with the paper, which her spokeswoman identified as a "right-wing rag."

I've been busy doing a project. WTF is this about a horse?

5. Laura Bush said Bush was giving a horse a hand job

8. Here's the quote. straight from the horse wanker's wife's mouth:

"I saw my in-laws down at the ranch over Easter. We like it down there. George didn't know much about ranches when we bought the place. Andover and Yale don't have a real strong ranching program. But I'm proud of George. He's learned a lot about ranching since that first year when he tried to milk the horse. What's worse, it was a male horse."

21. It reminds me of a cereal commercial. . . .

Should we tell him that it's a boy horse?

9. Laura Bush at the correspondents dinner

But on Saturday night, Laura Bush set a new standard. After interrupting her husband and telling him to sit down, she did a stand-up routine that included what was probably the first joke told in earshot of a president that involved him and a horse's phallus.

Mrs. Bush called her husband Mr. Excitement for going to bed by 9 o'clock and turning her into a "desperate housewife." She said that Lynne Cheney's Secret Service code name became Dollar Bill after they both went to Chippendales (where they ran into Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg). Noting that Andover and Yale did not have "real strong ranching programs," she said Mr. Bush had started his ranching career by trying to milk a horse - a male horse.

10. From Laura Bush ...

This was highlighted on the Daily Show yesterday.

Laura was making from of Shrub, saying something along the lines of how poor he was at running a ranch. She used the example of him trying to milk a horse with a secondary punch line about it being a male horse.

[JI7]

2. if Laura Bush had said "shove it"

the whore media would have praised her and talked about how she was a victim of that reporter who would lie about her and she had every right to tell him to "shove it".

and if Teresa or Hillary or any other Democratic woman had told the jokes she did about her husband engaging in beastiality and not wanting to be intimate with her the whore media would have attacked them for being inappropriate, anti american, no values or morals etc.

[alittlelark]

3. Perhaps she should have told them WHERE to shove it.

These people cannot deal w/ ambiguities. They need to be told everything in Black and White.

4. Best subject line EVER.

6. I really like THK. I think she would have made a great 1st Lady!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

11. This was my favorite photo of her:

[FreedomAngel82]

13. I'm with you

Great picture. :loveya: With pictures of her and Mrs.Edwards you can tell they really cared. I don't see Mrs. Cheney really out doing anything with children. I'm mixed with Mrs. Bush personally.

[cry baby]

14. Thanks, I hadn't seen that one!

She's cute with those kids.

[FreedomAngel82]

12. I agree

She's great! What pisses me off so much is Laura did her whole little comedy thing and all the networks are praising her and all that but when Hillary or Teresa or any democratic woman speaks up they tell her to shut up. I'm tired of the bullshit!

[cry baby]

15. Yeah, that is my favorite thing about THK, she says what's on

her mind. I love outspoken women who risk criticism for what they say.

[jean]

16. I'd love, - no pay - to hear THK comment on Laura's horse joke!

[cry baby]

19. me too!

17. File your FCC complaint against Laura Bush...

File your FCC complaint against Laura Bush...

excerpt:

If man on animal sex (horse masturbation) jokes on a public CSPAN broadcast aren't indecency, what is?

(UPDATE) It has been pointed out to me that the FCC might not cover this because CSPAN is a cable channel. So be sure and include in your complaints that the FCC should expand its mandate to cover these types of outrages whether they are on broadcast OR cable TV. (END OF UPDATE).

Here is where to find out information about how to make a complaint http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/obscene.html

Maybe we should be alerting the American Family Association (AFA) for their aid in fighting this case of broadcast obscenity? http://www.afa.net/entertainment/

18. What a Way to Go

....Ms. MacLaine's Louisa May is the product of a deprived childhood, and a skeptical convert to the homily that "money is the root of all evil." Yet each time she marries a man of similar circumstances and outlook, she inadvertently alters his fortune. And each time the husband's mounting greed brings on a sensational accidental death. She accumulates the wealth of her various deceaseds and then meets Robert Mitchum's Rod Anderson, a tycoon infinitely wealthier than she. Here, rather than spur her husband on to riches, she encourages him to divest and return to the simple life he betrays a longing for in his dreams (asleep, he utters — no pun intended — the name "Melissa," who turns out to be a dairy cow). But this plan backfires, literally, when Anderson is put into orbit, having mistaken the bull, Melrose, for Melissa at milking time. ....

22. How about "Asses of Evil"

They were apoplectic over that. "Can you imagine Laura Bush doing such a thing?"

Don't know, but I do know I'd be quite surprised to hear Teresa tell a horse schlong joke.
