Sam Donaldson Pronounces Network News Dead

Any chance of getting a diagnosis for that squashed ferret he wears on his head?

Anyway, network news' answer to Mr. Spock, except without all the charisma and human warmth, has some stuff to say about network news that I'd appreciate more if it weren't coming out of the mouth of an idiot:

"I think it's dead. Sorry," he said during a breakfast panel Tuesday at the National Association of Broadcasters' convention in Las Vegas. "The monster anchors are through."

Donaldson, Ensign Chekov, and Yeoman Rand* also agreed bloggers were pretty f'n' cool:

The three also agreed that that Internet bloggers have had a generally positive impact on news because mainstream reporters are forced to better verify their information and pare opinions out of their work or face he wrath of scrutinizing critics.

Huh. Jeepers, and all along that's what I thought those "multiple layers of careful editorial fact-checking" were for.

Nope. It's on us. They've outsourced their fact-checking to unpaid retards like me whose idea of professional excellence is to land a job that keeps me well-stocked in Nina Hartley videos and Cheez Whiz.

This has caused me to ponder the following question:

Before the internet, in the days of the MSM stranglehold on news, just how many stories were slipped by the public?

I'm sure I don't want to know the number.

Nina Hartley? Wasn't she big in the 80s?

Posted by: The Warden on April 19, 2005 07:04 PM

She's still big. It's the porn that's gotten small.

I think we may have found someone slower on the cultural uptake than Ace.
Take your bow Mr. Donaldson.

Didn't Donadlson get reamed more than once by Reagan? I'll have to dig up the quote, but it's priceless.

And didn't the little cocksucker get some Benjamins from Uncle Sam from some kind of farm that he owns?

What a prick.

Here's the quote from Reagan:

But on the level, though, I like photographers. You don't ask questions. Can you imagine Sam Donaldson with a camera? As most of you would say, "The thought makes me shutter." Somebody asked me one day why we didn't put a stop to Sam's shouting out questions at us when we we're out on the South Lawn. We can't. If we did, the starling would come back.

Also revealed, "Color broadcasts, here to stay."

Yep, Reagan had a really high opinion of Sam Donaldson. Just as high as that of Congress.

Here's another:

I can't help finding it hard to believe that this chapter in the American saga is about to end. Yes there are many things that I'll miss when I'm back at the ranch. The courtly courtesy of Sam Donaldson. The your-wish-is-our-command helpfullness of Congress. Yet as soon as I get home to California, I plan to lean back, kick up my feet, and take a long nap. Now, come to think of it, things won't be that different after all.

And finally, here's the information about Sam's farm subsidies.

Scroll down to "Other Notables." Sure it's only $29,106 during the period of 1996-2000, but isn't it nice to know our tax dollars are helping this poor fellow?

No, Apophis, the spambot thread is downpage. And it's supposed to be a slam against someone.

And funny.

All of which your lame whore-post isn't.

Posted by: hobgoblin on April 19, 2005 08:24 PM

To be honest, as a kid I thought Sam Donaldson was a muppet. Even then I thought that that hair couldn't be real.

Big hand to Captain Obvious for coming to the conclusion many of us had arrived at months, if not years, ago.

Hey "Apophis,"

Why did you turn off the comments on your blog after you spammed this list?

P.S. I still want to cum in your mouth.

Posted by: Call Me Gay on April 19, 2005 11:19 PM

Apophis-

Sorry about that. It was pretty juvenile. You can turn your comments back on and I won't post about cumming in your mouth.

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.

For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.

Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.

In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.

Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.

This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.

But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.

Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.

Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.

Lost 70s Mystery Click
And a song with another song as an intro, too:
Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch
There's something
Inside that we need so much
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up
Thru tarmac, to the sun again
Boy do they look like absolute dorks.
