When you’re fucking up, blame the people who talk about you fucking up. Because it’s their fault.

He just doesn’t get it. “All those darned Iranians in '79/Egyptians in '10/Ukranians now, should just pretend the media isn’t there.” And, media “on our side”?? WTF does that mean?

That’s the third misleading headline today.
Nice job HuffPo! I mean… TPM. Keep it up and I won’t be around much longer.

They need to elect Ron Johnnon mayor and get rid of the white star chamber that runs the community…
FOX is worse than lousy journalism, they are hate provocateurs…

Ferguson residents need to know if these really are their neighbors fomenting violence, or are there some “other” elements stirring up this mob.
By some, he means “all.”
I’m really enjoying the clip of the former CIA officer showing Rachael Ray how to pick a lock. It’a pleasant diversion from the subject matter.

Some token pigs glorify criminal police abuses in Ferguson.
You know, generally The Onion is ahead of the game on this stuff, but I think South Park nailed it. At least as far as Johnson’s participation.

And as usual, TPM’s comments suck. But at least an image makes it in very occasionally.

If they didn’t keep the journalists penned up in an area a half-mile or more away from the protesters, there wouldn’t be a pool of journalists for the bad guys to crowd around. No, what I saw last night on MSNBC was journalists begging information from anyone who stopped outside the fence they were behind to ask what had happened to suddenly turn what had been a peaceful scene into hostility from the police and orders to clear the area. And the answer was invariably, “Nothing that I could see. They just turned hostile all of a sudden.”

Hmm. I wonder if an enterprising (and trusting) reporter would slip a local their camera?
The more he talks, the more that respectable facade disappears.

Except that Rachel Ray is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. But what happened to the MSNBC clip that was supposed to be there? Did MSNBC force Breitbart to take it down for copyright violation or something?
Later edit: OK, yeah, it looks that way, because I see now that when the page first loads, there’s a message in the video area that says, “Requested video no longer available.” I didn’t see that the first time around. I wish they wouldn’t put in autostart videos; I usually like to read the article first and then decide whether or not I want to watch the video clip. When that video starts and I’m not expecting it, sometimes it makes me nearly jump out of my skin.

Sometimes snark doesn’t come through on the page. I hate Rachael Ray and everything about her, then to see a dimwitted video of lock picking when I was expecting something more substantive was just too much. It looks like the video was still up at Breitbart, but that’s a heavy price to pay.
