"How About Some New Year's Resolutions for the Right-Wing Media Machine?"
[
....
Yes, many Americans have made their New Year's resolutions. Perhaps the
conservative media establishment should do the same.
Fox News' tear-shedding golden boy Glenn Beck should give up the infamous
chalkboard he's used to illustrate wild conspiracy theories and invest the money
saved -- he must spend a bundle on chalk -- on a team of full-time
fact-checkers. After all, he's become notorious over the past year for letting
facts fall by the wayside in his non-stop campaign to tear down the Obama
presidency. Such a resolution might even bring back at least some of the 80
advertisers Beck's program lost in 2009 after he called the president a
"racist."
Noted sexist (and radio host) Rush Limbaugh should learn from his embarrassing
failed attempt to purchase the NFL's St. Louis Rams and pull himself out of the
Miss America pageant that he's slated to judge later this year. Limbaugh can use
the time he would have devoted to the pageant on some long-needed sensitivity
seminars. Yes, 2010 could be a banner year for a reformed El Rushbo if he can
manage to string together a few months of abstinence from further racially
charged, misogynistic, homophobic, anti-Muslim and otherwise hateful remarks.
Serial misinformer Betsy McCaughey -- who has been caught making patently false
claims against health care reform time and again -- should take some time off
from "policy analysis" and enroll in a Learning Annex class to improve reading
comprehension. I'm sure a medical company or the tobacco industry would be happy
to foot the bill -- it wouldn't be the first time she's lined her pockets with
their cash. In no time at all McCaughey could nip her dirty little habit of
making crazy claims about health care reform in the bud. Imagine what she could
accomplish by focusing on what's actually written in the legislation being
considered -- gone would be claims of "socialized medicine," euthanasia for
grandma, and rationed care.
Andrew Breitbart, fedora-wearing internet gossip Matt Drudge's prot�g�, should
launch BigBreitbart.com to monitor his other online efforts --
BigGovernment.com, BigHollywood.com and the soon-to-be-launched
BigJournalism.com. This new website would serve as a one-stop-shop for
correcting the factually challenged claims Breitbart and his minions regularly
promote. From homophobic attacks on a gay Department of Education official to
his shoddy attempts at undercover "investigations" targeting the community group
ACORN, it wouldn't take too long for such a venture to quickly publish volumes
of material exposing his half-baked brand of pseudo-journalism.
The reigning king of prime-time cable news, Bill O'Reilly, should unleash his
ambush-addicted producer goons on his employer, Fox News. Rather than waste time
trying to find new progressive targets, O'Reilly can turn inward and dispatch
his team to confront the Fox News producer who was caught on film rallying a
crowd during the Fox News promoted 9/12 protests; Sean Hannity and various other
Fox News personalities for repeatedly airing doctored video to undermine
President Obama and other progressives; his boss Rupert Murdoch for claiming the
president made a "very racist comment"; and the Fox News graphics department for
one failure after another -- remember that climate change poll trumpeted by the
network in which the respondents added up to an astonishing and mathematically
impossible 120 percent? Make no mistake, O'Reilly's staff would be busy for
months ambushing their conservative co-workers.
Perhaps he's ingested one too many of his son's Rockstar energy drinks, but
Michael Savage (n�e Weiner), the number three radio host in America, could very
well heal his inner child with some good group therapy and a few chill pills.
The often-screaming, always outrageous radio talker has a penchant for offensive
tirades targeting the gay community (he once said a popular gay blogger "hates
women so much that he won't have sex with them"), Muslims (he wants an "outright
ban on Muslim immigration"), President Obama (he said "Obama hates" and "is
raping America") -- even autistic children (he claimed autism was "a fraud, a
racket. ... In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut
the act out"). If he works hard in 2010, his radio program may just have a glint
of sanity.

And yet Beck almost single-handedly brought down Obama's crypto-
marxist, America-hating Green Czar Van Jones, his Mao-praising hack
communications director Anita Dunn and played a large role in exposing
ACORN as a criminal enterprise -- getting those scumbags defunded.
He's obviously doing something right -- for Americans and America.
Methinks he'll be even a greater resource for the American people in
this, an election year.
It's good to know he's so far under the skin of leftists.
