Our free media. I’ll take the alternative, please.   no comments

Fox News is an utter disgrace. I am no fan of the opposition, either. CNN makes me want to puke (The Most News in the Morning? What sort of lame, nonsensical, and plain stupid slogan is that?).

Neither cover themselves in glory. Both are dumbed-down shadows of  journalist-led news organizations and both have political biases which embarrass our democracy. The ONLY thing I respect about Fox News is that, unlike CNN, it is brave enough to make no attempt WHATSOEVER to hide its biases behind a veneer of serious journalism. The following makes my point:

On to more important matters –  I have to contend that Kiran Chetry is WAY hotter than Gretchen Carlson.

If you like naughty little imps.

Weather reporters – heroes, every one…….   no comments

Let us give thanks to those intrepid folks who brought us live coverage of Tropical Storm Fay and are, even now, steeling their nerves to brave the elements again for  Hurricane Hanna (LIVE!). Reporting the weather during hurricane season is the macho alternative to war reporting, for hacks who cannot be away from home for too long (“I’d love to report from Lashkar Gar, but who’d feed my pets…?”)

This piece in the Post has it about right. I love anything with Geraldo Rivera in it. He hasn’t yet captured Bin Laden, but by God, he will make up for it with a rainy day in Florida.

Cock jockey……

By the way, six ( or so) boats sank in the NAS Jax Marina, during Fay. Ouch.
