<< DOWNER'S DAMNATION ~ MAIN ~ AND AMERICAN GRAFFITI WAS ABOUT SYRIA'S WITHDRAWAL FROM LEBANON >>
REAL AWARD FOR FAKE JOURNALIST
Brave media dissident Dan Rather wins a prize:
CBS News’ Dan Rather accepted broadcast journalism’s most prestigious honor on Monday for the “60 Minutes Wednesday” story that exposed the shocking conditions inside Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison.
Rather received extended applause after telling the crowd, “Never give up, never back up, never give in while pursuing the dream of integrity filled journalism that matters.”
He never did back up that George W. Bush memo story, did he? Keep chasing the dream, Dan.
UPDATE. Rather’s TV show has been cancelled.
Dan Rather was certainly dreaming if he thinks he ever pursue “integrity filled journalism”.

Oh look! A new troll.
Yawn.

Meanwhile in another country far away, Iowahawk, the best fake journalist on this planet, has given us another feast of satire!
http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2005/05/newsweek_lutefi.htmlJust finished watching the very good “I am Not An Animal” on TV. It features a rabbit which has been genetically altered for use as a call centre drone, and programmed to utter advice to the computerlorn - statements such as “Go to the Tools Heading on the Toolbar ...” drip from its mouth.
Planetirf is a lot like that.
Not an original thought, but reams of agitprop will spill from his keyboard, boring us all shitless until Andrea puts the merciful pistol to his flealike head.Irf, I don’t know what planet you are on, but I just checked your web site. If a bunch of terrorist twats had any of my family I would not want some Islamofascist wanker posing as a humanitarian to do any further damage. I would want the maximum punishment handed out to the people who committed then crime. Mind you, you probably think that is the West.
Is anyone else amazed at the ability of the Leftist in the Wild to ignore the news? If “Irf” had half the brains it believes it does, it would be aware of the trials—and convictions—of the people responsible for Abu Ghraib.
(Of course, it probably believes those trials are a cover-up of some sort. Never mind all the investigations and cross-checking and supposed “breaking stories” that have never connected anyone above NCO to the actual abuse. Or that the administration not only began the investigation and prosecution long before the press had ever HEARD of Abu Ghraib, but had made statements about it during daily briefings. Or that the press ignored the story for months until someone leaked the photos to anti-Bush fanatic Mapes.)

Simpson murder case. In a statement released today, the former NFL star claimed to have found the, quote, real killer, unquote, of his estranged wife Nicole Brown Simpson. We go live to our CBS correspondent Jayson Blair, who is standing outside Simpson’s estate in Brentwood, California. Jayson, what can you tell us?”
“Well, Dan, according to Simpson’s spokesperson, Lucy Ramirez, internal memos from president George W. Bush’s commanding officer in the Texas Air National Guard, recently uncovered by Newsweek reported Michael Isikoff, conclusively prove that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone , flushed Nicole Brown Simpson down a toilet at the notorious Guantanamo Bay detention facility. . . . .”
. . . if you can’t understand other cultures, you might at least be able to speak in tongues! . . . or was it just the holy spirit confusing me??
PlanetIrf, these anti-religion slams constitute hate speech. You must now take three diversity/sensitivity sessions and write a 1000 word paper on “why I shouldn’t comment on Tim Blair’s blog”.

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 05 18 at 10:50 AM • permalink“yep, i love this war against terror. look at how the terrorists are just falling away before our might. just ask the Wood family.”
Agreed. Also, our efforts to combat crime in America and Australia are likewise absurd. With all of the cops we have, there are still criminals!
Doctors suck, too. People still die from cancer! Bin the lot, I say.
Look folks, just because Gunga Dan nanaged to catch “the dream of integrity filled journalism” doesn’t mean that others shouldn’t try.
Plus, my anonymous (but very, very trustworthy) source says that Irf practices pryonecrobestiality.
