« Dana Milbank, Vicious Partisan Liar | Main | When Thin-Skinned Parents Attack! »

Too Precious

In a Dana Milbank "Outlook" piece on the "cottage industry" of media criticism....

The most priceless sentence is this: "Regardless of the merits, the pervasive accusations of bias are making it increasingly difficult for the traditional media to play their role of gathering and reporting facts." Media critics are wrong to criticize, regardless of the merits of their criticism? Well yes, you see, because Milbank believes their nefarious goal is to "steer readers and viewers toward ideologically driven outlets that will confirm their own views and protect them from disagreeable facts."

Unlike, say, Dana Milbank, who's as fair-and-balanced a down-the-line straight shooter as you could imagine. Why, I could never even hope to guess at the man's politics from his writing.

But, you know, gun to my head? I'd guess... John Bircher? No? Maybe a member of the Right to Life Party? Getting colder? Okay, just as a final stab in the dark, I'll guess Stereotypical Eastern Urban McGovernite Left-Liberal.

But honestly, that's just giving it the old college try. Because I swear, the man's political agenda is as much a mystery to me as female genitalia.

Seriously. I'm asking for the last time, ladies: What the hell is going on down there? It's like a foam-latex version of the old Operation game, and I'm always fumbling around and getting the red buzzer.

Isn't Milbank the one with long-standing ties to the Afghanistan Taliban?

Foam and latex?????

Maybe it would help if you tried stuff on a real girl.

Fingers crossed!

Posted by: ace on November 22, 2005 01:36 AM

ok. Not sure what that means, unless it means you have date tonight.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on November 22, 2005 01:38 AM

Geez, what about the media's role of reporting the news? Or of being a common carrier. Yellow journalism is back, only in a more literal sense.

They won't tell you. Ever. You're supposed to figure it out.

The basic rule of thumb is: start real gentle. When they begin to vocalize, you can get rough and nasty. Wait for the vocal cues.

Michael, I learned this in the (eeeeeeeeevil!) lgf comments section, and thought I'd pass it on to you:

If you think you're too drunk to post a comment, you are.

Posted by: on November 22, 2005 02:09 AM

last one mine

Posted by: someone on November 22, 2005 02:10 AM

someone:

Good advice. Thanks.

Posted by: Michael on November 22, 2005 02:40 AM

So,

You don't think Milbank will appreciate that I signed him up for a lifetime subscription to the Storm Front newsletter and e-mail alerts?

Damn, I'm losing my ability to read people...

Posted by: Purple Avenger on November 22, 2005 03:18 AM

Baby, don't just fumble around down there all sweaty and nervous. You have to ask your girl what she wants you to do before and during. Girls know what they like; it's your job to pry it out of them...nicely. If you want to get some action, a nice, long, detailed, hot steamy discussion is the #1 key to success. If you plan ahead correctly, you can almost have a fumble-free, one-shot, no re-takes porn movie which includes what she wants and what you want. Seamless. Sexy. Of course, minor adjustments will have to be made during, but you just have to ask if she's enjoying whatever debauchery is being performed. Feel free to ask questions. "Can I do such-and-such?"

Added bonus: The discussion itself is a major turn-on and will likely get you laid immediately following.

It's TOTALLY hot when guys ask you what you want instead of just trying to do what they saw on some grainy RealPlayer 30 second porn clip. NOT ALL CHICKS LIKE THE SAME STUFF EITHER. If your ex-girlfriend liked it, it doesn't mean next girlfriend will like it. Pay special consideration to speed. Some chicks like it good and fast...other chicks like it more slow.

Those are some Feisty Basics. I can give ya a more--ahem-- detailed "analysis" if you want. You got my email. ;-)

I really didn't know Milbank was a guy until about 3-4 months ago. I just assumed based on the name, and the hyterical reaction every time he/she was criticized by anyone.

Posted by: RDub on November 22, 2005 08:19 AM

Feisty,
I think I'm in love.
Never mind the model from the Conservative Tees ad. Run away with me :)

It's nothing like the Operation Game. If my face lights up, you WIN.

Posted by: Sue Dohnim on November 22, 2005 08:42 AM

And that red buzzer you're hitting? It's a good thing. Just ask her.

Posted by: VRWC Agent on November 22, 2005 08:53 AM

you're getting real advice. and tutoring offers.

son of a bitch.

why would you care about crazy blog money? money's just something we use to get laid.

Who is this "McGovern" of which you speak?

Sorry, my sense of history doesn't go back any further than Hardcastle & McCormick.

Cheers,

Dave, I know you're always lurking in Ace's large, throbbing, commanding, um, "shadow"...But fear not, for you've been on my FeedDemon list for a couple of months now.

I tutor anyone who asks politely. And forks over lots of money or tells me I'm much hotter than the Conservative Tees chick.

Posted by: Feisty on November 22, 2005 10:31 AM

Oopsie. That was Dave in TX, not Dave at Garfield Ridge.

Seriously, males between the ages of 33 and 46 are all named Dave or Jeff. I get confused sometimes.

Posted by: Feisty on November 22, 2005 10:37 AM

The unexplained absences around the weekend supports my belief that Ace is cheating on us. But contrary to his self-depreciating humor, I'm sure he's quite popular with and knows his way around da ladies.

Posted by: on November 22, 2005 10:46 AM

Maybe I haven't done it with enough whores, but there are a lot of prudish women out there for whom "discussion" seems an irrational turn-off.

tell me about it. a parent hollerin "David" in my neighborhood would have 6 kids show up. my dad developed his own particular whistle to get me running back home.

What he meant to say ... was that those who question the White House's use of prewar intelligence were not only "dishonest and reprehensible" but also "corrupt and shameless."

I like that quote.

"Did I say you were a douchebag? I'm sorry, I was misqouted. What I meant is you are a douchebag who should be taken out and shot."

Posted by: Zorachus on November 22, 2005 11:11 AM

Ace, don't chase women. Chase crazy blog money and the women will follow.

After reading Feisty's comments I have to go have a smoke, anyone got a light?

Trump's advisors say the CBO has "revised" their estimate of the budgetary impact of the Big Beautiful Bill. Old score: minus $3 trillon. New score: +300 billion.
That's a big miss, huh? Even the Bureau of Lying Socialists, who claimed Biden created 2 million jobs that were purely fictitious and phantasmal, is impressed.
I haven't seen this reported anywhere else, unfortunately.

AAG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon threatens the University of South Carolina for announcing that any "controversial" speaker who upsets violent left-wingers will be banned
Obviously you're not allowed to ban someone because antifa demands it. The left-wing anti-speech school also refuses to specify what is "controversial." Trans extremist speakers would, we presume, not be "controversial" at all, eh?
Noted Nobel Laureate Jasmine Ratchet: "Just because someone commits a crime, that doesn't make them a criminal."
She claims that criminality is just a "mindset," and I guess that some criminals "identify" as law-abiding, just as many antifa thugs identify as woman, and it's all about what you are "in your mind."
This also means that one can have a criminal "mindset" despite having not yet committed a prosecuted crime. I think this pudgy DEI soon-to-be-ex congresswoman is that kind of criminal. She's got a thug's brain, a drug-dealer's brain, and smash-and-grab brain.
I mean -- as long as we're saying that crime is "just a state of mind."

Low-T High-Calorie Potato Brian Stelter: "Matthew Dowd is no longer an MSNBC political analyst, according to a network source."
Matt Dowd, former Disney Groomer Corporation Political Director and John McCain advisor (of course), is the one who blamed Charlie Kirk's shooting on the real assassin, Charlie Kirk, claiming that Charlie's "hateful words lead to hateful actions."
Trump speaks about the "heinous assassination" of Charlie Kirk, notes the left relentlessly demonized him until they radicalized an assassin to kill him
"For years, the radical left has compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to NAZlS... this type of language is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the terrorism we're seeing in our country today.
And it must stop RIGHT NOW!"
Argentinian PM Javier Millei: "The left is always, at all times and places, a violent phenomenon full of hatred."
I disregard their hate. It's the violence that we object to. And we will begin objecting to it with force.
Update: Kash Patel says the person of interest has been interrogated and then released. Wrong guy, I guess.
But as the hours pass without a real suspect, and with the FBI apparently interrogating uninvolved people, I begin to fear the assassin has escaped. I mean, they don't seem to be following a breadcrumb trail, they seem genuinely baffled.
Karol Sheinin: I can confirm the person of interest questioned by the FBI is Zachariah Ahmed Qureshi.
Updated: Obviously, you know by now this was the wrong guy. I guess he just looked slightly like the grainy photos of Tyler Robinson.
