At the end of a fun read over at Watching the Watchers<\/a> on “horrible fiendish cackling harpy” Ann Coulter’s latest pile of self-serving venomous horsehit slash apology vis a vis the Gannon\/Guckert Scandal, the good (though hard to type) ~A! picks up on a subtle shot that Fox “News” seemed to toss at the Right’s favorite new whipping boy, Raw Story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As ~A! noticed…<\/p>\n

Oh, and as an aside, FOX News, is a bunch of assholes again. They wrote a piece<\/a> about the whole CIA affair, in which they cite RawStory<\/a> for all their hard work and diligent reporting. They also mentioned Talon ?News’, and linked to their site. They did not, however, link to RawStory. Why not, I wonder? Why link to Talon, whose site is actually down while they’re on ?hiatus?, and not RawStory, which gave them something to write about in the first place?<\/div>\n

Why, ~A!? Because Raw is in the business of reporting news<\/i> and, of late, they are doing it like no other site on or off the net. You’ll note that Fox also took the time to link to faux “news” organization GOPUSA in their article as well. We suppose they’d hate for any of their reader\/zombies to start noticing the difference between real<\/i> news and Fox “News”.<\/p>\n

While you’re watching the Watcher Watchers, you may also want to check out what they’ve uncovered from Republican pollster, Frank Luntz<\/a>, whose great offering to history will have been his instructions to his GOP clients to use such words as “Death Tax” instead of “Inheritance\/Estate Tax” when hypnotizing their zombies. Well, it worked. And the “Death Tax”, along with many other clever turns of lexicographical trickery has made its way into the daily GOP parlance. Yes, language does matter. Especially to zombies.<\/p>\n

And as our own aside, by way of reminder, we’ll be panelling tomorrow (Sunday) at the Election Reform Teach-in<\/a> in Santa Monica, with an esteemed group including Congresswoman Maxine Waters and a bunch of other Election Reform All-Stars. If you’re local to So-Cal, and the rain has still stopped, come on out and say hey!<\/p>\n

We’ll be talking, amongst other things, about VR’s “Divestiture for Democracy” campaign<\/a> the creation of which is just one<\/i> of the too-many reasons we’ve had less time than usual to blog of late. We’ve quietly launched the VR DV4D campaign this morning and plan to plan to make quite a bit of noise about it this coming week. <\/p>\n

But you, dear BRAD BLOGGERS, have heard about it before just about anybody else! So check it out, and send the bad guys a letter<\/a> while you’re there! You’ll be glad you did!<\/p>\n
