Censorship at Huffington Post and ESPN

Over the last couple days, I have had most of my comments censored even though none of them violated the site's posting guidelines. I know, everybody has had that experience and it is the main thing that makes Al-Arianna so frustrating.

Anyway, everyone knows about HuffPo's product placement relationship with the Orange County hegemons at Disney and one of my deleted comments had to do with who I wanted to see go at ESPN. So I present them here and I am sure you will agree with me.

Jettisoning Stephen A. Smith was a good start, as his George Jefferson act got old real fast. But they also need to drop that brown nosing blowhard, Dick Vitale, who makes me change channels everytime he is on. Vitale, who had a short stint at Detroit University as a basketabll coach, is now in the Basketball Hall of Fame only because his tongue has rimmed the right folks. He has about as much right to be enshrined as Chuck Cottier does in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Next on the chopping block should be whoever the blithering idiot they make the excellent Pam Ward put up with on their collegiate softball broadcasts. Not only does this bimbo talk too much, she often doesn't know what she's talking about and seems to be there to be a cheerleader more than an analyst. Compared to her, Fernando Vina is Vin Scully.

And speaking of "Mr. I Can't Criticize Anyone" and steroid abuser Vina, he has to go, too, as does Eric "I can't string two words together coherently" Young. How in God's name anyone could decide to hire these two spluttering bozos is beyond any rational contemplation.

Next to receive a pink slip should be sideline stroke queen Erin Andrews, who is notoriously (and unprofessionally) touchy and huggy with players in the locker room. She sets the cause of women in broadcasting back 40 years.

And can anyone, and I mean anyone, tolerate Chris Berman and his cloying nicknaming of players, his general pomposity and assholiness as well as his pathetically overweening constant attempts to prove that he's hip? I didn't think so. This guy's style is as dated as faux wood paneling.

And the media largely ignored it. This is a huge story, but the folks in the journalistic sphere who are supposed to be looking out for you fucked you, our legal system and our democracy in the ass.

If anyone does finally pay attention to it, this puts the nail in Karl Rove's coffin because he ginned up a conspiracy to get rid of a popular Democratic Party governor of Alabama. Read the account here. Here's to hoping another federal investigation dime's Bush's brain.

Rightwing Radio Host Uses Notorious Convicted Con Artist as Expert on Terrorism

Sieg heil on your dial KFI, a clear channel radio station with a long reach in the west, had convicted swindler Craig Monteil on Friday as an expert to talk about the arrests of accused synagogue bomb plot conspirators in NYC. Orange County Weekly has the blow by blow here.

Yet another reason why if you listen to wingnut talkers you will be misinformed.

Huffington Post Contributor Hijacks Alternative Weekly Column Name

After the controversy over Maureen Dowd playing copycat with one of outstanding liberal blogger Josh Marshall's articles, the Huffington Post has now allowed one of its contributors, Carolynn Carreno, to steal the name of a column by Orange County Weekly and L.A. Weekly columnist Gustavo Arellano, "Ask a Mexican." You would think that Arianna's crew would be more careful, but I guess not.

Arellano's work, which can be found here, seeks to clear up misconceptions and stereotypes about Mexico and Mexican immigrants.

Carreno's is apparently a cooking column, which can be found here, thereby trivializing the work that Arellano is doing.

I wrote a comment about it at HuffPo, but, of course, it was censored.

Considering that the number two in charge at HuffPo is former RIAA lobbyist Hillary Rosen, you would think a little piracy would outrage her. Not in this case, though. Hypocrite.

Iraqi Refugees Treated Like Shit by U.S. Government

For you chuckleheads out there who still think that the situation in Iraq is just hunky dory thanks to your boy Bush, here is a motherfucking clue it ain't.

Yes, in a country the supposedly good Christians of the USA "liberated," Chaldean Christians are being raped, beaten and killed by Muslim zealots. So thousands of them have fled to the U.S. and have mainly settled in El Cajon, which is now becoming Little Baghdad (kind of like how a section of Garden Grove, CA became Little Saigon in the wake of the Vietnam War) after being treated like shit by our wonderful (or not) INS.

Heckuva job there George and Barack!

And if that weren't bad enough, the Bush Administration left an intelligence asset in Iraq to twist in the wind and he is still alive today because some Marines intervened on his half and smuggled him out of Iraq. If Bush can't even keep this guy safe, you think he was competent to keep the U.S. out of harm's way? Only if you believe that Harry Potter is a real person.
