New York Times Round-Up Of Blogs

...with a reference to Rightwing Sparkle.

One problem I have with these MSM round-ups is that they apparently think all blogs are nothing but snark. And that's all they quote. Little empty snarky one-liners of three or four words, hardly above the level of "Bu$h suxxor" or "Bush PWNed Kennedy!"

And you know, that is a lot of blogging, as people just throw up a quick, superficial take on a story they've linked. But what about the longer, more analytical, or more funny pieces? The posts bloggers are actually proud of? They never quote those. Either they don't have the space or they don't want to alert the public that bloggers do, occasionally, write something besides "wait 'till Dick Cheney's cock hears about this."

I've been mentioned a couple of times on CNN's Inside Politics, and each time it was for some idiotic throw-away line, even though there was funnier or more interesting stuff on the page that very day.

But that's the CNN verion of Ace of Spades. The guy who said of Ted Stevens' crusade to get dirty stuff off cable tv, "Any party that tries to take the titty-channels away from a red-blooded American male is just asking to lose their political power." Wow. I couldn't be prouder.

The MSM really should cut down on the empty, predictable snark from bloggers and post more substantive stuff from us (them, actually-- I don't do substance). And yeah, that may violate fair use, but you know what? If you toss someone $50 smackers to have their essay up in the on-line version of the Times they'll jump at the chance. Hell, you might not even have to pay them anything at all.

Hey, when can we get the Cinemax version of Ace of Spades back?

Cheers,

Hard to see the way around this dilemma. Television by its very nature is pretty unkind to print media. And people who read the NYT (or somewhat more credible papers) online are probably net-literate enough to check out the blogs for themselves. Furthermore, the papers don't have much incentive to highlight other news sources that don't resemble having someone else chew your food quite so much.

Maybe this is the point where Pajamas Media comes riding in to save the day, but I wouldn't count on it. Right now the MSM are fairly snarky about blogs, but they'll take them more seriously in direct proportion to the degree that people take the MSM less seriously.

Posted by: utron on January 11, 2006 05:14 PM

That's the main thing - the MSM doesn't *want* people to think there's anything other than random snark on blogs, because they dont' really want people reading them. But hey, those wacky bloggers? If they say anything funny in the midst of all their snark and bile, we'll let you know!

Posted by: David C on January 11, 2006 05:17 PM

Wait till Dick Cheney's cock hears about this.

Hey, you asked for it.

Posted by: Slowking Man on January 11, 2006 05:33 PM

Any money shots of RWS?

Posted by: Master of None on January 11, 2006 05:33 PM

Look at her blog. There is a photo of her. She is very beautiful.

What, if not that, are you specifically asking for?

Posted by: Lipstick a bit peeved on January 11, 2006 05:41 PM

It's ironic, because it was actually Dick Cheney's cock that PWNed Ted Kennedy.

While blindfolded.

Posted by: The Babaganoosh on January 11, 2006 05:54 PM

What, if not that, are you specifically asking for?

Ooooooooh boy.

Oh boyo boyo boyo boy.

Hamena hamena hamena.

Um, I'll be in my room.

"But that's the CNN verion of Ace of Spades."

Hell, that's the MSM's version of the world. Why should it treat you differently from the way it treats everything else?

"What, if not that, are you specifically asking for?"

Something in a teddy?

Posted by: Master of None (a bit perved) on January 11, 2006 06:02 PM

Well, you will never see me in a teddy, but if you want to hear my voice I have my first audio blog up!!!!

Not as exciting as a teddy, I know, but hey...you never know what I am going to say...;-)

Thanks for the link Ace!!!

Oh dang. Here's the link.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 11, 2006 06:38 PM

Wow, RWS is a HELL of a lot better looking than that scary ... well I won't say it but fit in your favorite degrading epithet here.. Ann Coulter. Besides, RWS probably still has her soul.

Posted by: Larry the Urbanite on January 11, 2006 06:48 PM

Mom? You're RWS?

uh oh.

JUST KIDDING!

RWS, you're hot. Very hot.

Posted by: on January 11, 2006 06:51 PM

I'm sure RWS is so pleased that Larry the Pile o' Shite thinks she's attractive.

Posted by: zetetic on January 11, 2006 06:58 PM

My comments should be in audio instead of text. Only then could one experience my true sentiments.

Posted by: Bart on January 11, 2006 07:01 PM

Bart has a great idea. Audio comments! Can you imagine the flame war? woot!

Posted by: BrewFan on January 11, 2006 07:12 PM

Michael in his squeaky little wally cox voice, "BrewFan, eat me"

lol!

Posted by: BrewFan on January 11, 2006 07:13 PM

How about Sortelli talking to lefties on audio?

Hey asshole, let me explain why you're such a stupid asshole...

Posted by: Bart on January 11, 2006 07:17 PM

Something in a teddy?

Oh. OK. It was the term "money shot" that got me up in arms and defensive of RWS...

Posted by: Lipstick feeling better on January 11, 2006 07:29 PM

It was the term "money shot" that got me up in arms and defensive of RWS...

RWS can pretty much take care of herself.

Posted by: Michael on January 11, 2006 07:35 PM

Flipper, I had no idea you were feeling poorly. You must have forgotten to post about it.

Posted by: Bart, who had no idea on January 11, 2006 07:35 PM

awww..lipstick, that is sweet. Thanks.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 11, 2006 07:40 PM

Both of you can bite me.

Now I feel a lot better.

And P.S. Michael, Cedarford and Muslim fanatics can take care of themselves too.

Oooh, now I feel a WHOLE LOT better....

Posted by: Lipstick on January 11, 2006 07:43 PM

Darn timing.

(being more specific) Bart and Michael can bite me.

RWS, you're most welcome, it was nothing.

Posted by: Lipstick on January 11, 2006 07:46 PM
Well, you will never see me in a teddy, but if you want to hear my voice I have my first audio blog up!!!!

Oh, yeah, that's way better than a teddy......

Let's see what get's more click throughs

Hear RWS audio blog
or
See RWS in a teddy

Posted by: Master of None on January 11, 2006 07:51 PM

I'm not much of a biter, sorry. Michael's nickname, however, is "Nibbler."

Posted by: Bart on January 11, 2006 07:51 PM

Whoa! you scared me there for a minute Mastor of None.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 11, 2006 07:58 PM

I thought that might...

Posted by: Master of None on January 11, 2006 08:03 PM

Hey Ace, congrats on the mention on Inside Politics. I must have missed your posting on that. I know I missed the show. I don't have a TV here in Iraq.

Posted by: David Earney on January 12, 2006 01:00 AM

because i'm too lazy to look it up.

what the hell does PWNed mean?

I'm sure it's right up there with "all your base" in internets/geekspeak, but i've been blissfully unaware of most of this stuff.

you know, because of the pesky fact that i'm an adult and all.

Posted by: moflicky on January 12, 2006 06:58 AM

It means you got someone. A verbal smackdown.

(I have 3 teenagers)

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on January 12, 2006 10:05 AM

You know, based on the number of imbeciles who have posted "Waaah" and signed it "Sam Alito's Wife," I'm beginning to get the feeling Democrats were 'pwnd' by Mrs. Alito's tears.

Makes them look like shits and takes the energy out of their attacks. Take a look at the Daily Kos today. They've got nothing.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
