Blogger and Youtube extradonaire Anthony, aka Malmo Blue gives Stephanie Miller a hand pointing out the weak work by radio eaqualizer Brian Maloney, who probably listens to too much liberal talk radio. Failed radio host Maloney takes time away from his life to go after the likes of Steph, Mike Malloy, those that rock it from the left. As a daily listener of the Stephanie Miller, Maloney's effort to attack her for comments made for a good laugh. I find it amazing that someone who calls himself the Radio Equalizer never takes the time to point out the racist, the sexist, the calls for terror, the ignorant and hateful things that come out of the mouths of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Brit Hume (Oh hell, any Fox host), or Bill Cunningham, Michael Savage or Rush Limbaugh. Oh, wait he does mention it, he mentions when he defends these ass-hats. Brian when you try to promote "equal" airtime for hosts, it should include praise and criticism to both the left and right. This idiot attacks Stephanie Miller for an actual funny comment from a talk show host/comedian, confusing the two jobs must be really tough for real journalists, right Brian? Oliver Stone has a new film coming about the Bush Crime Family, maybe when he is done he could get started on the story of a failed talk show host, who goes on to pander to Billo at Fox Noise, then sees the light and realizes "equal" defines balance, and then goes on to creating a successful blog. He then covers a story of a closeted gay Republican lawmaker, and realizes how bad conservative "values" are. Oh wait, that's a true story. Nevermind Mr. Stone, my bad.Here's Anthony's work from youtube.
LOVED the article :)
ReplyDeleteGee! The last thing we need is a guy like Oliver Stone making Bush look good with his brand of pseudo-factual film making.
ReplyDeleteHis JFK film was pure propaganda, He combined a half dozen different conspiracy theories into one gigantic soup of lies, half truths, misrepresentations of known facts, He accused President Johnson who was dead and unable to defend himself.
Stone's tried to make a hero out of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, whose out of control investigation and trial of an innocent man, Clay Shaw is one of the most bizarre chapters in the history of jurisprudence. Garrison was obsessed with the fact Shaw was a gay man respected in New Orleans. and garrison saw himself as the guy who was going to clean up the French Quarter.
Garrison's successor Harry Connick, Sr. (yes Jr's. dad) called the Shaw trial. "One of the grossest, most extreme miscarriages of justice in the annals of American judicial history." And here is the kicker, Connick told this directly to Stone, but why let a little thing like facts deter you from making a film.
Of course the jury delivered a resounding verdict of “not guilty” for Shaw which barely hindered Garrison’s ability to market this myth of CIA complicity.
The damage done by Stone and the other conspiracy muckrakers is that they make little or no effort to give any context to their theories. Hence, they can portray history any way they wish. If they want to show that Kennedy was killed because he was going to bring American troops home from Viet Nam, or because he was going to cut the defense budget, they can get away with it, few people today have the critical thinking skills or knowledge of the facts to question those suppositions. Once it become part of popular legend you can't get rid of it.
I think Brian Maloney may have gig for ya. Hearing fiction, or humor and confusing it with truth is dangerous business. If you want to debate 9/11, or Kennedy, or any other conspiracy, wait until it's an actual topic.
ReplyDeleteThis was in regards to Oliver Stone's new film on Bush. Even if he gets it 100% right this time, his past attempts at "non-fiction" film making was regarded as nothing more than popular propaganda. Guys like Stone hurt the liberal cause because his fact finding is on par with FOX News.
