Monica Crowley, Mark L. Hill & James T. Harris on MJ’s Media Coverage (VIDEO)

Monica Crowley, sitting in tonight for Bill O’Reilly, discussed the media coverage of Michael Jackson’s death with Dr. Mark Lamont Hill, Temple University Professor, and James T. Harris, host of “The National Conversation” in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Crowley began the segment showing some of the laudatory coverage during the BET Awards last night, most notably by Jamie Foxx. At one point, Foxx declares they’re there to “celebrate this black man,” proclaiming “he belongs to us (black people); we shared him with everybody else.”

Later on in the show, Foxx asks the BET audience to “make some noise” because the ‘media is spreading bad stories about him,’ but he needs the audience to show some love for Michael to over-ride that negative coverage. Crowley also played some red-carpet footage of P. Diddy and Beyonce expressing what a bad rap MJ was getting in the press, and it just went downhill from there (for me, anyway). Diddy tried to declare that there was never any negative press about JFK or Elvis, that MJ was one of the “greatest heroes for us,” stating that “he’s one of the reasons why Barack Obama is president.” (Is this something to brag about?)

Crowley points out the media covered white celebrity deaths of Elvis Presley, Heath Ledger, Gerry Garcia and Anna Nicole Smith, noting all reports discussed their drug-related incidents surrounding their deaths. Then James Harris steps in to discuss the reality of the situations, and gives great arguments about the blind-eye the black community tries to use to recognize, in a sanitary condition, the same type of celebrities and their deaths which are really mired in troubled lives.

This was a really great segment. Monica, you did a great job!

Beck’s Hot List for June 29th, 2009 (VIDEO)

Today’s Hot List included the following topics:

  • Harold Koh, recently appointed to be legal advisor to the State Department. Yeah “that” Koh who believes in trans-nationalism.
  • ‘Get a government job, and we’ll wipe out your student loan! Hey, everybody, come on board! The rest of the taxpayers can pick up your tab for ya.’ ;-)


  • Why Michael Jackson’s story is relevant to today’s times, especially when it relates to his acquisition of the Beatles’ music library. Hint: They had to offload it because of their tax bills that tallied up to 90% of their income. SHOCKING! /sarc
  • Obama is ready to hop on the “scold the Hondurans” bandwagon and meddle, compared to his “we shouldn’t meddle in Iran’s elections” mantra. Double-standard? Hmmm… you decide.
  • Janeane Garofalo’s dismissing of the tea-party goers, calling them “straight up racists.” So what now? The folks at the Dallas Tea Party have publicly and overtly invited her to attend their Tea Party so she can come and see for herself that they are NOT a bunch of “tea-bagging rednecks.”

This was a GREAT Hot List, I must say.

Beck & Steve Milloy on Cap & Trade – “Green Hell” (VIDEO)

To follow up on his “One Thing” segment, Beck had on author Steve Milloy, who penned the book “Green Hell” to talk about the absolutely massive government control that is coming our way via this Crap & Fraud, er, ah, Cap & Trade bill if it passes.

People, PLEASE stand up and make your voices heard!!! We cannot allow our Senators to pass this. It will be the death of American industry as we know it, and 100% of Americans will see a huge tax increase.

Beck’s ‘One Thing’ on Cap & Trade (VIDEO)

Today Beck’s ‘One Thing’ focused on the obvious – our media’s obsession and distraction by the 24/7 Michael Jackson coverage, so much so that we missed the really important things that happened. For instance, the Cap & Trade bill that was passed by the House on Friday, 219-212, during which John Boehner made WONDERFUL political hay of in his allotted time to speak. Did anyone pay attention? I think those of us who are more sentient on all things political were, but the rest of America was waiting on the next gossip about what Michael looked like, or what drugs he was injected, before he died.

But I digress.

Beck picked out some fabulous clips from Boehner’s floor time, and I have to say I am stunned by all the bureaucracy (especially the IRS!) that is going to fall under the EPA’s purview under this Crap & Fraud bill (that’s what I call it), because this part of his 1-hour floor speech I missed. I did get the Boehner/Waxman smackdown, but this part I missed.

Folks, if you aren’t plugged in, we’re all doomed to succumb to this gargantuan, out-of-control monstrosity that can only be visually compared to the beast I saw in “Cloverfield.” It’s massive, hell-bent on having its way, and flattens everything in its past. And it came in with a small, tiny splash.

This time, the splash has turned into a giant tidal wave, and I only pray that we quit focusing on the tawdry Michael Jackson affair long enough to realize what’s happening under the cover of mainstream media darkness.

Ali Salehi Says Iranians are Pleading ‘Obama Please Help Us’ (VIDEO)

This weekend on Fox News, UCLA Professor and Iranian Scholar, Ali Salehi, was on to discuss how Iranian protesters are desperate for Obama to speak out on their behalf. Salehi, who has former students and family in Iran, says that the protesters even have a name for Obama: “Ubama,” (sp?)and that it means “he’s with us.” They think of Obama as their president. *ahem* (can we give him to them?)

I wonder if Obama will decide not to meddle any more? Kind of strange, considering he was oh-so-ready to meddle in the Honduras elections today. Hypocrisy indeed.

Can I Please Ask Everyone a Favor?

SHUT UP ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON ALREADY, WILL YOU? We have Constitutional crises happening every day, and the freakin’ media can only talk about an aged, drug-addicted pedophile? Jebus Christ, people!!!! I swear to God that when I read somewhere today that the internet was generating more traffic for Michael Jackson’s death than that of the REAL tragedy of 9/11, I almost blew a gasket!

Not This Shit Again!

This is EXACTLY the Entertainment Tonight/American Idol mentality that elected the current Fascist-in-Chief last November. Trust me, folks, if you don’t think so, I am TELLING you there are MORE IMPORTANT THINGS going on right now than the death of a freak-show pop star!
