Ellis Henican Details Criteria for Newsworthiness of Murders (VIDEO)

Yes, he did. Last night on Bill O’Reilly, Ellis Henican was on to discuss the obvious media bias in the coverage of the recent murders of Dr. George Tiller, Army Pvt. William Long, and Guard Stephen T. Johns. However, Ellis didn’t agree it was media bias, but decided to explain the “newsworthiness” criteria to O’Reilly. You see, there are three things to take into consideration, according to Ellis, and they are this:

1. The prominence of the victim.
2. The incendiary aspects of the issue behind the murder.
3. Who is fanning the flames of that issue?

So, Ellis. Are you saying Pvt. Long is not prominent-enough of a victim to be considered newsworthy? Oh, REALLY?!? Okay fair enough. I’ll give you that much (in the mind of the MSM, that is, but I don’t agree), so let’s move on to the second criteria: the incendiary aspects of the issue behind the murder.

Pvt. Long was murdered BECAUSE he was an American, BECAUSE he was in the military, and BECAUSE he and his brothers are currently fighting a war against jihadists around the globe. You don’t believe these qualify for “incendiary aspects” surrounding the issue of this murder? Sorry, dude, but you’re way off base on that.

And lastly: Who’s fanning the flames of the issue? Why, it’s none other than militant Islam, if you must ask, Ellis. And you don’t think THAT piece of criteria is met? Oh, wait, that’s right. You’re part of the chickensh*t MSM who is afraid to report on crimes committed on behalf of the prophet Mohammed, so you just ignore them. Or, is it because you feel if you report this as a “hate crime” by an Islamofascist, that you will not meet your precious “criteria” to remain part of the liberal bastion that resides in the leftist media?

Perhaps you think if you cover it with equal reportage as the other murders (which are all also heinous), you might lend unintentional credence to the fact that we ARE still involved in a war against radical Islamofascism (and not an ‘overseas contingency operation’). Who knows? I certainly don’t, and your mind is not one that I’m inclined to pick through to figure out.

Mr. Henican, I would dare say that our military men & women serving in whatever capacity they are serving carry a lot more “prominence” in this society than people like you ever will.

Journalism is slowing sinking to the likability factors equal to that of lawyers. And of similar credulity. Shame on you.

Check the next post up, Mr. Henican, for a sweet dressing-down by Dennis Miller.

Miller Time on Eminem, Gitmo Uighurs, & OK Pharmacy Owner’s Revenge (VIDEO)

Tonight was one of the funniest Miller Time segments on O’Reilly that I’ve seen in a long time. Apparently Dennis’ brother is a publicist or something for Borat, and O’Reilly was asking for the skinny on the MTV prank. Was it real or staged? Either way, you have to admit this MT made you laugh. I laughed until I cried. O’Reilly also asked Miller’s opinion on the Gitmo Uighurs getting laptops to learn how to use the internet. Uighurs? Wiggles? Teletubbies? :-D

I also think O’Reilly genuinely laughed for the first time ever. This was hilarious.

The last subject was that of an Oklahoma pharmacist who’d been robbed at gunpoint, and he killed one of the perps, and killed him REALLY well! He was charged with 1st Degree Murder, and I have to agree with O’Reilly on this one. The over-charging of this pharmacist is over-kill (no pun intended), and there is no Oklahoma jury who will find this man guilty.

Miller Time on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner & Other Stuff (VIDEO)

Miller Time for Wednesday, May 13th. Here’s a portion of the transcript:

O’REILLY: … All right. White House Correspondents’ Dinner. My man Miller here actually emceed an event for Bush the elder, and you were pretty tame. I mean, you didn’t go after anybody, did you?

MILLER: Oh, I was scared witless. I mean, you know, I was just a kid trying to make it, and it was Bush 41. I thought Wanda Sykes was kind of funny, for a girl. That’s a joke, Wanda. You know it. That’s all she’s doing today is explaining that. It was a joke. And the way I look at Wanda Sykes, man, I thought he was going to bring Reverend Wright in. So Wanda Sykes seems — that seems like a respite from the sturm und drang. I thought he might do Jeremiah down to do the gig. I thought Wanda was probably eager to please. I mean, you’re a black comedienne, and you’ve got a black president. I mean, can you imagine how much she needed to make him approve of her? So he went for it, and it looks like it worked. He was laughing his butt off, especially at the — you know, the…

O’REILLY: It all went south. Taken from somebody who was there in the front row, and I was. It all went south in the last 10 minutes. The first 15 minutes were fine. But then she got mean. And here’s my question to you. The remarks about Limbaugh, about Sarah Palin, Cheney to some extent — that wasn’t over the top — were mean. And then they flashed to Obama laughing at the meanness. I don’t think that does him any good there, Dennis.

MILLER: Well, listen. Cheney thrives on that stuff. It’s like Dennis Hopper with the mask in “Blue Velvet.” He just eats that stuff up. But I would say this. I don’t think she was a pro that night. You know, a comedian’s judged by somebody whether they’re a pro or a non-pro. I don’t know how funny or funny it wasn’t. But I do know it wasn’t pro, because at some point you get hired, and she didn’t fill the requisite out for what they needed. They needed it to be edgy but to not make it feel weird.

O’REILLY: Right.

MILLER: She obviously made it feel weird. So I’m just talking as a professional comedian. I would say she didn’t come up to the mandate. And you know what? I think she could care less about the mandate. She wanted to make Barack Obama laugh. And when she went for the Limbaugh’s kidney failures, you know, she killed it, knocked it out of the park. So I’m sure she’s happy about it.

Listen, it would be, you know — it’s, you know it’s not everybody’s thing. But if Limbaugh does get renal failure, I hope it doesn’t happen under Barack Obama’s national health line — healthcare thing. Because they don’t pay attention to that. It’s always stuff like chronic fatigue syndrome or I don’t have enough diversity training. You know, but renal failure I don’t even know if that’s covered under the universal plan.

O’REILLY: Now, when you did your gig for Bush the elder, did they tell you what you could and couldn’t say? Did they go over your script? Did they scrutinize you?

MILLER: Yes, Bush did. Bush 41 grabbed me. He said, “I don’t want any f-bombs. My wife is here.”

O’REILLY: Really?

MILLER: Yes. It was cool. I liked Bush 41. You know, I think he missed the point on a couple things. I wish he’d went up that road and croaked that tote over that. But he was just a straightforward guy: “My wife is here, I don’t want any f-bombs.” He was pretty cool about it. So at the end I remember leaning in to him, saying, “Was that OK, Mr. President?” He said, “Yes, it was. It was OK.” And I felt good. If I’d walked out of that room and felt like I let him down I would have felt really bad.

I think Wanda understood there was no way she could let Obama down. I don’t think he rides like Bush. You know, he’s a little more — give you a little more space. None of it really matters to him. When she said, “I hope his kidneys fail” — when she said, “I hope his kidneys fail,” it’s like easy to wish for the outlandish like that, because it’s probably not going to happen. She could hope that Limbaugh’s kidneys fail. I could hope that she would have been a little wittier and pithier that night. Neither one of us were close to having that happen.

O’REILLY: No, but again, it hurts Barack Obama to be seen as accepting that kind of stuff. And it does. It does. Even for people…

MILLER: Who does it hurt? Do you think he cares?

O’REILLY: I think — I think it hurt him. I do. I think the last…

MILLER: I think he could care less, Bill. He is so front-running right now. They’re so in the bag for him. He feels bulletproof. I don’t think he thinks twice.

O’REILLY: There’s such a thing as dignity, and that’s what I think the line was there.

Now, your pal Donald Trump said that Miss California is OK. She’s allowed to proceed as runner-up. And you say?

MILLER: Trump had to do something. I thought he was — he thought this was all going to comb over. And when it didn’t, he had to protect the brand. You know, he had to dive on the commerce grenade. So I understand what he’s doing here. But listen, it was his fault from the get-go. I don’t know why he has this Concepcion Ramada (ph) — what’s that? I knew his name was a guy who played infield for Sparky Anderson’s…

O’REILLY: Perez. Right.

MILLER: I had it mistaken. It’s Perez Hilton, not Conception Ramada. But I’m happy for Miss USA or Miss California, whatever she is. How many people get summoned to testify for their God like that? I mean, she must — she must be happy. She got to stand up. How good would that make you feel about yourself?

And as far as provocative photos go from your youth. Billy, I remember when I first met you, you were 19 years old. We were in an auto show in Teaneck, New Jersey. You were standing there next to a revolving Z-28 in a pool board, Drew Merriwhether (ph) cat suit. And I look back on it, it doesn’t seem provocative. Nostalgic for those times when you were an automobile model.

O’REILLY: Hey, Miller, give me one favor. Say hello to Khalid Sheik Mohammed for me out of Gitmo.

Classic Dennis & O’Reilly together.
