Gratuitous Chick Pics, Media Assholes

This one caught my attention, oh you betcha:

I’m thinking naked, in the mud pit:

Claudia Winkleman

Fiona Bruce

Gabby Logan

Jo Whiley

Karin Giannone

Kate Silverton  — recently voted “Most Kissable Mouth in Great Britain”*

Katie Derham

Natasha Kaplinsky

Stacey Dooley

Susanna Reid
 

…oh wait;  apparently, the girls will have to fight for their jobs with screen tests.  Well, that’s a mood-killer.

Never mind.

*recently voted “Most Kissable Mouth in Great Britain” — by me.  Because it is.

Quote Of The Day

Media Assholes, QOTD

From Jeff Goldstein at Protein Wisdom (welcome back, btw):

“What started with a mentally ill nudist with a hammer has been revealed as yet another attempt by the left to censor, shame, and criminalize speech — especially speech that is critical of their elite class.”

Yeah, as MAGA Republicans such as I are well-known for our support of loony street people with homicidal tendencies, this argument by the Socialists makes perfect sense.

Although you’d have to redefine “support” as “should be used for target practice” to get a true measure of my stance, and I suspect I’m not the only one.

Noooooooo

Media Assholes

In a shocking development:

Fox News announced Wednesday that Trace Gallagher will be the new anchor of Fox News @ Night, replacing Shannon Bream, who now hosts Fox News Sunday.

Now I have nothing against Gallagher, whom I recall as a decent enough sort, back when I used to watch cable news shows, and Fox in particular.  But let’s just consider what’s happening here:

I mean… seriously?

Shannon is one of the foxiest [sic]  anchors on TV, and to relegate her to a Sunday-only position is not A Good Thing.  (I’m thinking of the welfare of Fox News regular viewers, here.)

Lies And More Lies

Journalist Scum, Lies and Untruths, Media Assholes

You’ve all seen pictures of the falling level of water in Lake Mead, right?

And read reports of skeletal remains being found as the waters recede?

And that all this is because of climate change, via lower rainfalls, snowfalls, etc.?

Well, only the first two are factual.  The third is an outright lie.  “Climate change” has nothing to do with Lake Mead’s water level dropping, because the main suppliers of water to the lake (rain runoff and snowmelt) have not in fact decreased but remained constant.

And some smart guys have the real answer to the problem.  Read all about it here.

Unbelievable

Crime, Media Assholes, Mocking Furriners

It is not often that I watch a documentary all the way through with my mouth open in amazement, but watching Gladbeck: The Hostage Crisis  on Netflix did that to me.

I don’t know how many times I burst out with “WTF?” and “I can’t believe this!” and similar;  and you will too.

I know we’ve come a long way since the late 1980s, but this documentary needs to be shown to police forces worldwide as a “How NOT To Handle A Hostage Situation” guideline.

The Jackals Of The Press don’t come off covered with glory either — although I know that any other country’s Press, under the same circumstances, would have behaved the same or worse.  (“And now, over to our reporter on the scene, Geraldo Rivera…” OMG, the mind boggles.)

And it ends terribly.
