KSTP gives good grade to ad its boss paid for

Isn’t is sort of ironic that a local “news” show thinks it can evaluate truth? Isn’t that sort of like an Eskimo evaluating palm trees or a Hawaiian grading snow?

…And now I know what news program NOT to watch.

Or news reporters who can pretend they’re non-partisan?

Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent:

“I do not endorse a Popular Front, nor do I think you need to. It’s not necessary to jump to Wright-qua-Wright’s defense. What is necessary is to raise the cost on the right of going after the left. In other words, find a rightwinger’s [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear. Obviously I mean this rhetorically.

And I think this threads the needle. If the right forces us all to either defend Wright or tear him down, no matter what we choose, we lose the game they’ve put upon us. Instead, take one of them — Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists. Ask: why do they have such a deep-seated problem with a black politician who unites the country? What lurks behind those problems? This makes *them* sputter with rage, which in turn leads to overreaction and self-destruction.”

Try to move beyond your one-case anecdotal thinking.

There are very very few “reporters” in the classic sense, these days. We have pundits, who get higher ratings if they fan flames by being biased. We also have “personalities” (though they probably call themselves “artists”), who are really just performers that read what is given them. (I refuse to call it news.)

That is my fair and balanced view.

Spencer Ackerman is a liberal blogger. He’s always been up front, unlike KSTP which is pretending to objectivity. The obvious move for KSTP was not say nothing about the ad. They should also put a disclaimer on any gubernatorial coverage.

We are starting to see the PURE Obscenity of “Citizens/United” .. And this is just starting folks.. Outside of MSNBC there are NO media outlets that have a Liberal bias.. I’m sure Comcast will take care of that.. The Brain Wash that these corporate media BEASTS have on our PUBLIC airwaves is absolutely ABSURD!!

Not sure what anyone would expect, at one time Stan Hubbard was Nutcase Bachmann’s largest individual donor.

Most of us knew that KSTP was an extreme right wing organization. Fewer of us knew that Target Corporation was an extreme right-wing organization. If enough people stopped shopping at Target for their back-to-school shopping so their sales were reduced by 10%, Minnesota might have a chance of getting rid of this right-wing virus that has infected Minnesota politics. Target needs to be taught a lesson to not mess up our elections with their Tea Party / Fox News politics.
