The Week’s Tweets In Review (11/23)

Barely A Blog, Ilana Mercer, IlanaMercer.com, Journalism, Media, The Zeitgeist

As a Twitter account holder writes on his Twitter handle or masthead, “I tweet, because I’m too lazy to blog.” And as my valued readers know, for a decade, now—since May 2005, to be precise—I’ve endeavored to provide them with a daily, detailed analysis, on Barely A Blog, of the events. Coupled with writing a weekly, well-read column, first launched in Canada (1998), and continued to this day in the US on WND—this commitment cuts into book writing. Like most women, I refuse to give up cooking, outdoor running, parrot, house and husband husbandry—which would not matter much were it not for the readers’ preference. You, too, have a lot on your proverbial plate. And you prefer a shift to shorter quips. As un-intuitive as tweeting is—it can be real cyber-ejaculate—I will try to increase the use of this format. At week’s end, however, a blog post, “The Week’s Tweets In Review (+ date),” will collate a selection of choice tweets.

Here goes, from latest to last:

Fact Check: ‘Knee-Pad’ Media Never Vetted Obama; Oprah Winfrey Did

Barack Obama, Journalism, Media, Religion

Barack Hussein Obama was launched by the Queen of Kitsch, day-time talker Oprah Winfrey. Once introduced to America by Oprah, no one on the left inquired into his sorry record as a human being.

The “Knee-pad media” hollered RAAAAAACISM and never stopped, when conservative media tried for years to probe the enormity of Barack Hussein Obama’s sealed academic records, poor teaching record as a lecturer, non existent scholarly publications while still serving as editor of a top law journal; his deep allegiance to a crooked pastor, his meager charitable contributions (until he started running for office), or Hussein’s wife’s nepotistically obtained, richly rewarding bureaucratic hospital job.

The same media are currently beating up on a man with merit-based accomplishments in a world outside politics—Ben Carson—for possible linguistic establishments.

Moron Media say Ben Carson lied about once being a thug and transforming himself; he was always as sweet as he is now.

The same malpracticing media believe Carson deceived their asses, as a brother would say, over having had a scholarship to West Point, when in fact the offer of a scholarship was “informal.”

One thing the moron media dare not get away with is to claim their lazy, corrupt asses vetted President Barack Obama.

Benghazi: Breaking News From A Broken News Media

Government, Journalism, Left-Liberalism And Progressivisim, Media, Military, Politics

We have breaking news, screeched CNN screech Poppy Harlow. It concerns the House Select Committee’s investigation into Benghazi. The Poppy persona had my full attention (from the kitchen sink). What was it that this illiberal oafette had discovered?

Will we finally get the sods at State to disclose when came the urgent cries for military support, in the course of the Sept. 11, 2012 attack? Would we find out who at the State Department ignored the S.O.S and issued a “Stand down” directive?

Most sentient human beings—that probably excludes liberals vested in covering up for their gal, much as it ruled out, in 2003, Republicans covering for their war criminal guy—wouldn’t mind being in the know.

Wouldn’t you say?

How silly of me to have given Harlot the time of day as a newswoman. No, CNN’s Benghazi breaking news was aimed not to update viewers about an “objective fact-finding mission”; give us information as to that “broad-based probe of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.”

Rather, what Poppy was “reporting” was but part of the drip-drip, tit-for-tat of partisan politicking.

Oh, the worthy Major Bradley Podliska appears to be looking to launch a lucrative law suit for his troubles. Parasites all.

That’s what goes for “breaking news” courtesy of a broken news media.

Check out Poppy’s astounded, breaking-news expression. In Harlow’s world, this is huge:

Motormouth Megyn Kelly & The Mad Matriarchy

Celebrity, Feminism, Journalism, Media

“Motormouth Megyn Kelly & The Mad Matriarchy” is the current column, now on “The Unz Review,” America’s smartest webzine. An excerpt:

… Megyn Kelly … has fast succumbed to the female instinct to show-off, bare skin, flirt and wink. She now also regularly motormouths it over the occasional smart guest she entertains (correction: the one smart guest, Ann Coulter). At the same time, Kelly has dignified the tinnitus named Dana Perino with a daily slot as Delphic-oracle.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has proven he can be trusted to beat up on the right women.

Exhibit A is Elizabeth Beck, a multitasking “attorney,” who once deposed Donald Trump while also waving her breast pump in his face, demanding to break for a breast-pumping session.

“You’re disgusting. You’re disgusting,” the busy billionaire blurted in disbelief. And she was. Still is. Accoutered for battle, Beck recently did the rounds on the networks. In addition to a mad glint in the eye, Beck brought to each broadcast a big bag packed with milking paraphernalia.

Had she cared about boundaries and propriety, Kelly would have asked Trump how he kept his cool during a legal deposition, with an (ostensible) professional, who insisted on bringing attention to her lactating breasts.

Writes Fred Reed, who regularly tracks our malevolent matriarchy’s “poor sense of social boundaries”:

The United States has embarked, or been embarked, on a headlong rush into matriarchy, something never before attempted in a major country. Men remain numerically dominant in positions of power, yes, but their behavior and freedom are ever more constrained by the wishes of hostile women. The effects have been disastrous. They are likely to be more so. The control, or near control, extends all through society. Politicians are terrified of women. … The pathological egalitarianism of the age makes it career-ending to mention that women in fact are neither equal nor identical to men. …

Not quite in the league of Elizabeth Beck yet, Megyn Kelly was, nevertheless, in need of a dressing-down and a time-out. …
