MSNBC Anchor Tamron Hall Gets in a Huff & Cuts off Contributor’s Mic over Romney Defense & Non-Story … “You’re kind of in my house here”

More award winning media from MS-LSD …

Ever wonder why no one but the far LEFT loons watch MSNBC these days? Take a quick watch of the VIDEO below of MSNBC host Tamron Hall gets all belligerent because the guest dares defend Mitt Romney and go against the MSNBC bias liberal agenda. She actually cuts off the individuals mic and goes screwy making accusations that never occurred.

WOW, which begs the question I have asked for years … why does any one go on the network that would defend the right’s point of view? One, no one watched the netword. Two, those that do are so far in the tank for Obama and the far left that it is a total waste of breath and time to try and put forth one’s point of view.

Geraldo Rivera Speaks Out On TSA … “I Got Manually Raped By A Guy,’ ‘[He] Was Getting Off On It.”

MORE TSA INCOMPETENCE … and their war on toddlers and Geraldo.

On Friday’s Fox News ‘Fox & Friends,’ Geraldo Rivera was supposed to comment on the story of an 8 month old little girl was removed from a Jet Blue plane because she was on the terror fly list. They claimed it was a computer glitch. NO SH*T SHERLOCK!!! However, instead  Geraldo recounted his own personal experience with the TSA, emphasis on personal. Geraldo said, “I got manually raped by a guy,” said Rivera. “This guy, it seemed to me, was getting off on it.”

Geraldo further discussed his efforts to get off of the no fly list and the egregious incompetence of the TSA. Geraldo went on to discuss his last experience with the TSA flying to Afghanistan and getting off the no fly list … YIKES!!!

Geraldo Rivera appeared on Fox & Friends on Friday where he described an intrusive inspection he had received from a Transportation Security Administration officer on a recent trip to Afghanistan. “I got manually raped by a guy,” said Rivera. “This guy, it seemed to me, was getting off on it.”

I finally – I guess, Gretchen – after enough kicking and screaming and embarrassing, embarrassment to the TSA of their utter incompetence in terms of managing this program – they talked about glitches in the computer program – at some point, they finally got it together. But it was quite a while. And, you know, there’s a lot of dysfunction in the TSA. I think there is a lot of merit in people who say it should be re-privatized. I don’t necessarily endorse that, but I tell you the last time I flew to Afghanistan I got manually raped by a guy who – the scanner wasn’t working…

 

 Geraldo Rivera transcript from The Blaze:

But Rivera‘s TSA woes weren’t over: “I tell you the last time I flew to Afghanistan I got manually raped by a guy who – the scanner wasn’t working.”

“He wanted to make sure…” host Steve Doocy offered.

“But making sure is one thing,” Rivera said. “This guy, it seemed to me, was getting off on it, I — ”

“Oh my gosh,” host Gretchen Carlson laughed.

“ — and the more and the tighter I got and the angrier I got,” said Rivera. “He just wanted to be a little more intimate.”

CNBC’s Rick Santelli on the Obama Job Recovery (Obamanomics) … Blasts Liberal Media’s “Ostrich Economics”

MORE MSM BIAS … CARRYING THE WATER FOR BARACK OBAMA …

CNBC’s Rick Santelli provides a lesson in telling the truth to the liberal main stream media regarding the disastrous Barack Obama jobs numbers. Santelli blasted the MSM for purposely and willfully misleading the American public by just saying that the unemployment rate was reduced to 8.1%. Santelli dubbed it “Ostrich Economics”. Honestly, it is criminal what the liberal MSM is doing and shilling for Barack Obama and his failed Obamanomics.  The media complacency and yes, conspiracy, of continuing to carry the water for Obama is an outrage. Does anyone think that the MSM would be so quiet and not investigating the details of the numbers if this terrible job recovery was taking place under George W. Bush or any other Republican President?

There are some highlights I’d really like to hit. The first one is that about 41.3% of unemployed have been unemployed for 39.1 weeks. That is huge and pretty much says it all. This is the weakest recovery since the Great Depression. A whole 4/5ths of the drop of the unemployment rate is due to a drop in the labor force participation. It is the lowest since 1981.

Many of regional news shows were reporting on just the unemployment rate. That’s “ostrich economics.”

The MSM will lie, cheat and steal so to see Barack Obama win reelection in 2012. Look for the unemployment rate to go below 8% leading up to the 2012 reelection and the MSM touting it as a success for Obama, when the reality is that there are a record number of Americans no longer in the work force.

Sorry, but the real unemployment rate as reported at Zero Hedge in the United States is 11.6%. Anyone think that Barack Obama and his shills in the MSM would ever report that?

The implication is simple: using a real labor force participation rate long-term average of 65.8%, the real unemployment rate in April was 11.6%, based on the 5.4 million additional workers that should be counted as part of the U-3 which then means that the real number of unemployed is not 12.5 million but 17.9 million, which in turn implies a 11.6% unemployment rate in the US. This also means that the spread between the propaganda, and the real number is now 3.5%: the most it has been since the early 1980s.

Another Misleading MSM George Zimmerman 9-11 Call Edit Costs a NBC News Employee Her Job Reporting on the Trayvon Martin Death

EDITGATE … Lilia Luciano, a Miami-based NBC News correspondent is the latest to lose her job in the NBC MSM George Zimmerman 911 call editing scandal in the covering of the death of Trayvon Martin. Yet more selective editing to shape the story for their own narrative.

Lilia Luciano, a Miami-based NBC News correspondent, is no longer working for the network, TVNewser has learned.

Luciano last reported for NBC News March 31. Until that point, she had been reporting mainly on the Trayvon Martin story. Sources tell TVNewser Luciano’s dismissal came after an investigation which also led to the firing of a seasoned NBC News producer over a similar, misleading edit. In a story for the “Today” show on March 20, Luciano used part of the George Zimmerman 911 call in which an entire phrase (italicized below) was taken from a later part of the conversation:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or on drugs or something. He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male.
Dispatcher: Are you following him?
Zimmerman: Yeah.
Dispatcher: Okay, we don’t need you to do that.

As stated by Brent Bozell does any one think that the three low level firings by NBC are an acceptable answer to what NBC did in out right falsely reporting on this case and purposely editing to misrepresent the facts?

NBC has now fired three people from two different offices over at least two different edits of George Zimmerman’s now infamous 9-1-1 call prior to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Both edits were clearly designed to portray Zimmerman as a racist while raising tensions in an already volatile situation.  This latest firing from NBC once again goes unexplained.  NBC’s actions vindicate the Media Research Center’s original point that NBC’s two-sentence (non)apology was an insult, and that this is a network out of control.

The truth has been withheld from NBC’s own viewers now for more than one month.  Do the network executives at NBC think that this is acceptable? What about the board and shareholders of Comcast?  Is it acceptable for a news organization to consciously and constantly lie to its viewers?

Misleader … Barack Obama’s Imaginary Girlfriend from Autobiography ‘Dreams From My Father’ … You Can Find it in the Fiction Section

Autobiography – au·to·bi·og·ra·phy [aw-tuh-bahy-og-ruh-fee]

noun, plural au·to·bi·og·ra·phies.
a history of a person’s life written or told by that person.

Why does Barack Obama have so many questionable, made up things in his past and why doesn’t the media really care to investigate them? Imagine if such accounts were that of a Republican candidate or President, the MSM would be attempting to uncover ever stone.  Especially, if they wrote about it in their autobiography.

Barack Obama’s life appears to be a well scripted Hollywood made for TV movie

An autobiography is supposed to be an account of one’s life written or told by that individual. Not when it comes to Barack Obama. It would appear that ‘Dreams From My Father’, Obama’s so-called autobiography can be found in the fiction section of your local library, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. It would appear that Obama mislead in his autobiography … what a shock.

One of the more mysterious characters from President Obama’s 1995 autobiography Dreams From My Father is the so-called ‘New York girlfriend.’ Obama never referred to her by name, or even by psuedonym, but he describes her appearance, her voice, and her mannerisms in specific detail.

But Obama has now told biographer David Maraniss that the ‘New York girlfriend’ was actually a composite character, based off of multiple girlfriends he had both in New York City and in Chicago.

Michelle Obama – The Most Televised First Lady Evah … Let Them Watch Me on TV

Is it any wonder why Michelle Obama needs all those vacations, it is because of her busy schedule being the most televised First Lady ever … Does it really come as a shock to anyone that the media who has been in the pocket of Barack Obama would also have the first lady Michelle Obama on en mass as well? However, at some point it becomes overkill and the law of diminishing returns for any type of political asset for Barack Obama.

When she isn’t saying let them eat cake, Michelle tells them. let them watch me on TV

Lately, Michelle Obama is no stranger to television entertainment. She’s already outpaced past first ladies, like Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton, in the number of TV appearances she’s made over the first four years of a president’s term.

Dan Gainor, of the Media Research Center, said Michelle Obama really is “off the charts” in the number of times she’s appeared in entertainment television cameos, even more so “than I dare say many big name actors and actresses.”

Whether the appearances are sincere or just political is up for debate. Democratic political strategist Doug Schoen suggested they were a little bit of both.

“I think they have a great asset and they’re using it,” Schoen said. “At its core, there is an election in seven months and it helps.”

Between 2001 and 2004, Laura Bush appeared in about 12 television shows — including “The Barbara Walters Summer Special,” “Larry King Live,” “The Tonight Show,” “Fox and Friends,” “The O’Reilly Factor,” “LIVE! with Kelly,” and “Sesame Street.” Since President Obama took office in 2009, Michelle Obama has appeared on television about 44 times, and that number continues to grow.

American Band Stand & New Year’s Rockin’ Eve’s Dick Clark Dead at the Age of 82 … Rest in Peace

It is the death of an American icon … TV legend Dick Clark, the world’s oldest teenager dead at the age of 82.

It is truly a sad day as a piece of my childhood died today as Dick Clark passed away at the age of 82. According to reports, Dick Clark passed away from a massive heart attack at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, CA. The man was a part of millions of people’s homes. The oldest teenager has passed … Dick Clark will be missed.

Who didn’t grow up with Dick Clark ringing in the New Year with “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve? I can remember the very first one transitioning from Guy Lombardo to a more hip way to ring in the New Year. I cannot remember a year that Dick Clark was not a part of my New Year’s except in 2004, when Clark suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed and struggling to speak. I have to admit that the following year when a speech impaired Dick Clark counted down 2005, several tears came rolled down my face as Mr. Clark struggled through the countdown that had been the trademark of his career.

Dick Clark: 1929-2012

VIDEO

Dick Clark, the creator of “American Bandstand” and “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” died Wednesday morning.

He was 82.

Clark suffered a massive heart attack after entering St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica on Tuesday night for an outpatient procedure, his family said in a statement.

Attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

Clark had suffered a stroke in 2004, which forced him to significantly curtail his hosting of “New Years’ Rockin’ Eve,” a show he created in 1972.

American Bandstand – Dick Clark – 2/12/66

ABC News has more from the life and time of Dick Clark and the New York Times.

Born in Mount Vernon, N.Y., on Nov. 30, 1929, Richard Wagstaff Clark began his lifelong career in show business began before he was even out of high school. He started working in the mailroom of WRUN, a radio station in upstate New York run by his father and uncle. It wasn’t long before the teenager was on the air, filling in for the weatherman and the announcer.

“American Bandstand’s” formula was simple. Clean-cut boys and girls danced to the hottest hits and the newest singles. In between, Clark chatted with the teens, who helped “rate-a-record,” turning songs into sensations. Everyone showed up on “American Bandstand,” from Elvis Presley to Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry to Chubby Checker.

“Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” on ABC became a Dec. 31 tradition, with Clark hosting the festivities for more than three decades, introducing the entertainment acts and, of course, counting down to midnight as the ball dropped in New York’s Times Square.
