I've come across a debate over media bias at UC Santa Barbara between bow-tied Tucked Carlson and Eric Alterman.And it made me realize:
ABORTION
GUN-CONTROL
RELIGON.......are so 90's.
I'm serious people getting heated about gun-control sounds to my 19 year old ass like William Jennings Bryan raving about Free Silver.
If you need exsplanations of the decline in intrest in these 3 issues: 1. We have bigger issues than guns and abortion to reckon with, like stopping amensty:the sequel. and 2. fewer Americans are religous or own guns/go hunting.

Hitler's Revenge
The most destructive ideology of the first half of the 20th Century was obviously Nazism. Ironically, the most destructive and insidious ideology of second half of the 20th Century (and beyond) was & is poltically correct multiculturalism. This was "Hitler's Revenge". Nazism caused the left to turn off their brains and move to the opposite extreme and scorning nationalism and patriotism and rejecting the idea that nation's had any racial or etnic identity (aka China is Chinese). This brought about unlimited mass immigration to the west & inturn brought about the death of the West.
Multiculturalism does not work within a society. Racial diversity at to fast at rate of growth creates what we have in California today: Governor Schwarznegger goes on TV his state deep and debt and lyingly asserts that there is nothing more to cut. The truth is that the California debt could be greatly mitigated by merely listening to the Californian majority (as of now atleast) and ending the transfer of billions of tax payer dollars to the millions of illegals living without fear, outside the shadows in California mooching off the tax payers receieving free schooling, welfare, therapy, scholarships, healthcare on Uncle Sam's tab. But why can't Schwarznegger tell the truth? Why does he lie so blatantly? Because California has a huge population of people-Mexicans-who have intrests completly different from that of "white Americans" which screws democracy up entirely. For the fragile instuition of pure one man one vote democracy to work everyone has to share a basic set of intrests. It fucks democracy up completly when , say, 30% of the population's allegiance is with another foreign nation.
Jim Pinkerton makes the above point well here.

Should Young Single Mothers Automaticly Be Seen As Victims?
Should 18-21 year old single mothers be treated like victims or should they ever be looked at as having any responcibility for their getting involved with irresoncible bums? Its like the women that gets beaten by her menfolk, I have no pity for these types because they usually stay with & are attracted to guys that batter them & then they act like they deserve pity when they get the abuse that they like in a way cause they wouldn't respect their boyfriends if they didn't do stuff like act like brute guerillas (which occasionally inolves infidelidty and getting hit for some shit). They wanted brutes so why are they victims when they get manhandled (and come back to him or another brute)?
Insights & Ponderings:
Today's Insights & Ponderings:
1. Think about it: what would the middle east be like today if Saddam Hussein where still in power? I must say, as someone who thinks the war should've have ended in 2005, Saddam was a crazy mother fucker, could u imagine having Amedinjihad & Hussein back to back? However, the prospect of a the Taliban still being in charge of Afganistan doesn't concern me at all cause they had no outside ambitions. So, again, "the good war" Afganistan was the dumber one and is as we can see, impossible to "win".
2. There is much to support in Ron Paul & the move away from the neo-cons within the GOP, however he has always come off as unimpressive, their must be smarter, less goofy uncle type liberterians and Paul wrongly resorts to left wing masochistic arguments against the wars in the middle east.

The Importance of Geezers
I think adults who never critize the youth are cowards. I'm talking about those middle age guys who only have the best of words for my generation. Geezers have been a cornerstone of civilization for time on memorial. Because they 1. have exsperience and wisdom the young dont have usually 2. they have more time to see the world around them more clearly. Geezers need to keep the young in check. And whats the result of it all? From Gary Cooper to Ira Glass in 1 generation. go fish.
Can you imagine the American political landscape without old white guys aka geezers? Without the old people who know whats up, Obama could replace the Constuition with "Rules For Radicals" and no one would even care (aka Brazil).

good case for health care reform
from Mickey Kaus,
That makes a lot of sense, except that establishing a guarantee of affordable health care is one of the things that would enable painful cuts in both the public and the private sector. If you know your health care is taken care of, then a cut in your projected pension becomes less threatening. It's less of a big deal to be downsized or outsourced, to give up your Detroit assembly line job (or D.C. newspaper job) and move to find work at some other company with a future. It's just money, then, not life or death. .And it's easier to jump at risks when there's a secure platform underneath you
The Bastard Son
Do u feel that you've ever seen the real Barack Obama? I don't. He's very much like FDR in this way. He has 2 qualities found in many politicians: he's a bastard child and his political face is a mask. His feeling of being un-wanted seems to have engendered the classic personality of bastard sons: he's in politics cause he wants to be loved (bad reason) which means that he'll say watever it takes to get the most applause no matter how sappy and untrue the statement ("the Afgan, war is a war of nesscity" , "theres no blue state America and red state America"). He'll make policy on pure politics (ala Afganistan) He doesn't want you to know what he thinks and/or wants to do as much as he wants you to think he agrees with you.
However I don't believe Obama will change his major policies according to opinion polls. He will, as I say, temporize and "do what it takes". I along with David Frum find Obama's Afgan policy to be purely political to an extent I personally find sickening. I believe that if Obama where to go by his gut we would be out of Afganistan and Iraq very soon. Though then again i don't think Obama is nearly as intelligent as everyone asserts (though he defintely has a good post-babybommer sense of politics and political timing. I'm not sure he has the rigour of mind to see that it doesn't really matter if we leave tommorow or in two years. However it's really not a suprise that Obama has set a deadline (absurdly) for 18 months in Afganistan. Any President that adopts Iraq and Afganistan is not going to close them up done within his first year as President while he's doing healthcare, the economony, the stimulus, etc. He also seems to be willing to say nearly anything at times. The most appauling examples of Obama cynically lying is a two or three way tie. One egregious example is his first big war on the War in Afganistan where he deemed Afganistan, "a war of aboslute nesscity". He also said to the cadeats at the Anapolis that night that "I would never send you into harms way if I did not absolutely have to". Well that second statement is a lie and I would like to think that Obama woldn't have the ignorance to write either line that i quote above. Like so many Obama statements in his speeches, the assertions that get lauded and never challendged don't stand up upon inspection.

Obama's is placing America down the European path as the European abandon that route for a more (pre-Obama) US Route relizing bankruptcy of nannystat
Have you noticed anything missing from the health care "debate"? Any words, in paticular the utter absensce of which has become rather striking by now?
Have you eyed or eared the following word lately: Europe? No? Well me neither which is only yet another inditment of the quality of the healthcare tug of war which is currently on hiatus while Obama tries to shepered the passing of a "Jobs Bill" they very sound of which makes me reach for my wallet and my revolver.
One would think, if rationality where the animating force of the health care scuffle, there would have been tremendous debate about whether European style socialist health care and the European welfare state was such a smahing success.
My intuitive media radar tells me that, amazingly, no one has yet to point out the Democrats are trying to drag a unwilling America onto a path that the more socialistic west Europeans democracies went down decades ago and yetto go by what can roughly be called the on going healthcare debate you would think that that the Democrats want to do something entirely orginal that has never been tried before by nation(s). It seems strangely that it's the Democrats who don't want to talk about Europe and how all the policy they yearn for worked out in the long run in the nations who adopted these basic policies long ago. Right now, figuring out whether the story of goverment run health care was a triumph or a tragedy (or a tragedy waiting to happen) is clearly the most important question to answer in the short term. But the other items on the Obama agenda after healthcare have also been in Europe sometimes not so long ago really at all. Take, Cap & Trade, one of the worst items on the Obama wishlist and a issue unlike obamacare is easy to understand and easy to predict in all the terrible economic effects Cap & Trade will have and all the "transformative" enviomental effects it won't have as a result of reducing carbon emissions a neglible amount easily nullfied by all the co2 the devloping world emits. The only thing that Cap and trade will be help to cut back on is jobs and business in America, the neglible amount of Co2 we cut back will have no effect on the climate. No one serious denies that Cap & Traade is bad for Americans economically. Combined with the increased burdens plcaed on buisness big and small the increased cost of doing business here created by Cap & Trade will send business and corporations moving out of the country for good and taking their jobs with them as well as rapidly bring about a massive wave of outsourcing of jobs to Asian economies whichhave become far more buusiness friendly than the United States. The Democrats don't realize that America has to actually compete in this world to keep and to imaintain and increase the appeal of the American economny. Businessmen, investors, and people in today realize or atleast think that the United States is about to move to the left, Obama may loose in 2012 but the feeling is that he will invetiably be able to put in place huge liberal structural changes that will have the goverment running American healthcare among other changes, following the European model that has proved sucidial if not simply diastrous for Europe economically as well as socially stymmying entrupernership, indpdence and indutrury on the oart of the indivual and mking citizens into the children of the stat and, meanwhile, as America appears adamant upon followiwng Europe's exact footsteps of decline, the Asiatic nations of India, China, Singapore and the like appear to have learned in a deep way all the lessons that America has forgotten for the moment, about limited goverment, taxes and beyond.
Americans seem to be blind to the fact that they can no longe exspect for business to turn the other check again and againand not move its jobs out of America if the Democrats levy the burdens of obamacare on business, then increase the cost of doing business in America even more (and raise energy prices) ship away even more jobs with Cap & Trade those sacrficies would allresult in the cutting back of a negligible, insignifgant amount of co2-as the most honest green people will admit like Ralph Nader. So Cap & Trdae will, in summary, ship away millions of jobs , dramaticly increase the cost of doing business in America,raising food and energy prices and imposing the largest ever tax aka transfer of wealth from the people to the Goverment in our history and all these sacrficies will be for what "pay off"? "Green jobs" won't make up dir anything like the huge amount of jobs lost to asia as a result o this. But won't we save the earth? No, because Cap & Trade will have no apparent climatological benefit s for the very reason that theactual cut backs in Co2 will be neglibible and completly nullfied, canceled out and over come by the amount of the Co2 China and/or India alone will increasingly emit. Once you make it clear that there is no climatelogical signifgance the hapless true believers of Cap & Trade tell you that its good for the economy to deveolp "green technologies" the fact is that no one wants to 3 times as much money for clean solar energy shen you can get clean nuclear energy without the higher prices with nuclear power plants which don't emit Co2. One lesson that should be taken from France is that if America got as much of its energy from nuclear as France did, we would be well below the traget emissions reductions and unlike with solar and wind energy it wouldn't exact a completly unviable economic cost. The fact is that"green" technologies aren't good enough yet and that if we were smart we would invest in further research that could create better green techbologies. In short, Obama's talk of "green jobs" as the new base of the glorious new American ecoconomy is something only Ralph Nader could come up with. But then again China and India are making it clear they won't sign on to any global govermental climate change agency or treaty unless they receive payments in the billions from America as Obama has just done for Africa giving them a 100 billion dollars we don't have for corrupt African regimes to "prepare forclimate change". Coopenheganshould have been the definitive turning point for americans who realized that the whole summit was basically a 3rd world scheme to force America to essentially create a binding international govermental body that will allow Africa and some other 3rd world nations to vote themselves 100 of billions of Americantax payer dollars without consolntanting the American people , without Americans having any kind of veto. Essentially, if America wants to try new, alternative sources of energy it should build its self more nuclear power plants and force the Nevaians not to reneg on there contract and allow Yukka Mountain to be used as a place to store nuclear waste. Getting more of our energy from nuclear power will unlike unvialable solar and wind energy won't double the amount of money Americans pay for energy. Since no one but a minature elite with money to waste will buy into hugely exspensive solar & wind energy if they free market is allowed to decide it would way Obama will be able to deliver even a small portion any of the 2 million green jobs (which Obama, in speeches and in TV ad's has poytrayed as the new base of the US economny itself over more billionr Only if the goverment tyranically forces Americans and American companies into buying overly exspensive "green" energy with crackpot schemes like Cap & Trade.
This generation of Americans hasexspects continued prosperity to continue automatic as the divine state of American economomc and more problematicly many Americans, again on the left,have trouble accepting truths that aren't what they'd like them to be. This is true of Global WArming, race, diversity, immigration, education, latinos, latino assmilation, patriotism and IQ. But at the moment the first a nd most important bubble belief to popped is the multi-faceted global warming myth(s) that include 1. Al Gore's "science" is shaky at best and is all best on computer projection modeling, much of the data has been shown to be manupilated and less credible than before thought Thomas Friedman doesn't know how hot it will be in 87 years and at what rate it will get hot 2.No one has shown for sure how much climate changecurrently is effected by man made activetly versus the natural climate cycle 3. CHina and India and Russia and much if not all of the devolpoing world is totally opposed to the global goverment treay/entity that would hava to be created in order to enforce a serious climate change treaty, even if China and India did join in and allow intrusive inspection and not enough co@, according to Al GOre 's sources, would be cut (let alone in time) to have any real effect. In other words it can't be done now, unless some new method of cleaning the climate, like cloudwashing and that type of stuff that could to alot more for alot less money compared to economony killing stuff like Cap & Trade.
that will lead to the shipping away of millions of jobs to more attractive and in a way more stable Asian markets long & short term effects the which is easy to understand not endlessly complex, issue that issue whicv

By All Means Let's Fight Bias and Discrimination in Goverment: Heres a clue its not in fire department civil service exams but NPR
President Obama who is tired of politicians spending the American people's tax dollars "like its monopoly money" sure showed how un-cynical that statement was by hiring not 10, not 30, not even 50, or 80 but a whooping 150 new entirely unneded Civil Rights Lawyers. So we elect a black president and he exspands the Civil Rights Dicvision like crazy to counter what?
Its odd that billions are spent on "fixing" problems that either fixable arent real or a a big deal at all or crimes that aren't crimes at all (like giving a police exam with results Eric Holder doesn't like not because teh test was flawed or biased bor because the median score was lower than last year , no, but because he disaproves (he,, not the law not the Constuition, not the Congress disaproves of the amont of black testtakers who passed the said civil servce exam in question. Look it can be a nice goal to have a very diverse fire department or police department but that is probably something that should be an afterthought and completly secondary to the most important matter which is: is the police department and fire department in question doing its job well? And by and large, they are. We don't have a police or fire fighting crises that requires billions of dollars spebt on lawyers , paperwork, etc, etc.
If there was a huge systemtic problem with police departments and fire houses not doing there basic duties then tasks forces and other such things should be created at the tax payers exspence. But there is no such problem in policing and fire fighting.
And yet take a looki invite you at a another part of the goverment with the exact massive systemic problems that require tasks forces, and other such spending to correct: Public Radio-National Public Radio to be exact. The goverment has spent/wasted billions of dollars fighting or so it claimed discrimination, bias and the like within the police departments and fire houses of America when it comes to hiring. There was no problem ofcourse because the test decided but whatever.
Well the boogeyman of discrimination is no myth when it comes to NPR and Public Radio inwhich liberals dicriminate against conservative figures, employees, job applicants, figures and pundits. But the main problem is not nesscarily in itself the voting patterns of the staff of NPR news stations but whether there shows are systemitacially and regularily baised and biased against the right.

"Adamant for drift"
"Adamant for drift" my friends:
In the near future America will look remarkably similiar to Canada in the following ways 1. Ever head of the Quebociouse? the French (terrorist) seperatists in Quebec? Southern California and then most of the south west of the US will be a near seperatist region (truelly New Mexico in all the worst ways) and you will have all the usually talk of "homeland" & "la reconquestidora" 2. We will have a European/Canadian style social welfare state with a rapidly declining economony and population as white women aren't having kids & the welfare state will will have killed that good ole American can do spirit!

the best liberals are coy and mildly ashamed of being on the left (if not openly contempicious of much of the naives in there party). I need a spelling teacher, yes? I'm convinced I have Lou Gehrig Disease and the opening prelude phase of my dissent into crippledome is spelling ashamed "ashashamed" and staring blanly at the screen for way too long. I suggest curing insomnia by getting on the National Review email alerts cause they send you 3 old National Review articles (including 1 WFB column every fucking day). Reading a William F. Buckley column from October 3, 1975 makes the Cold War seem like a brisk picnic.
We couldn't get the Olympics but we got the jail
By moving the gitmo detainees (who should all have been pubicly beheaded 7 years ago) to a prison in Illinois, Obama has bestowed a great gift upon the natives of this state: at this moment five guys named Muhommad (RACISM ALERT!!!!) are circling a city on a map called Chicago. I don't think anyone can deny that Obama has increased the possibility of a terrorist attack upon Chicago by a factor of 40. If it happens and your or my relative is even grazed by a brick I'll go Timothy McVeigh on Obama's ass & make John Wilkes Booth look like Oliver Cromwell.

Atlas On The Whipping Post
It took me a couple weeks to realize how huge the recent Supreme Court desiscion that lifts the unconstuinal ban on corporate campaign contributions. We are going to dunk these fucks in their own shit i swear to god know that the successful have been un-gags politically and can partcipate fully in our democracy by putting there money were their heart is (and hopefully never vice versa). You see the reason that the liberals fliipped out the way they did is ofcourse not because they just "can't believe" Alito thought that it constuinial (no it never somehow seems to be that) but because they realize, being not official borderline retarded, that people who start businesses and employ millions of Americans and have done 400 times more for people than Barak Obama has are all Republicans and the fact that they are Republican is more often than not integral to their business success ("I was a pothead till i saw "Firing Line" with Buckley on TV,I cut my hair and learned about the stock market the next day and never looked back").
See liberals being naive and unknowing about the world around them in the sense of how the world works (e.g. why people in Russia starved to death by the millions in 1915, etc.) and think that the private sector is "selling out" to nothing short of the devil. Business is lowly and corrupt and sinister. It's not be respected, "they aren't working for the public good! There working for their own self intrest the greedy fucks." So Nancy and Barak and Barney all spent their adult lives steal the productive sectors hard earned dollars to redirect to their prefer intrest and/or racial griveance racket of choice. And yet know one realizes that the average sellsman, let alone business owner has done more "for" his community and other people in a year that Obama has done his whole life. Redisturbting money, raising taxes, suing banks, suing police departments for not passing enough blacks on entrace exams doesn't help anyone it only hurts people, they don't realize but every time they try "to just do my part" they leave behind a vertiable trail of bankrupted business, closed down store fronts, welfare dependpenent Americans their souls and ambitious dilalted in a marijuana induced hazed.
Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb to help the world. No one works that hard for entirely selfless reasons. People do things most of the time for their own self intrest and their is nothing wrong with that at all especially when you realize that usually a person's self intrest involves mimproving other peeople's lives and giving to others. The guy who invented the world wide web did so because he wanted to buy a huge house and drive a ferrario and now the entire world has benefitted unimaginably from his gift yet he was apparently in inventing the internet being "selfish." If you truelly want to help people you should be selfless. The people who help others the most are in the private not the public sector.

All You Need To About Global Warming Profiteers
Al Gore's flock claim, with their usually uncanny certitude (e.g. "It will be this cold in 200 years!") that we only have about 10-15 YEARS till its too late to avert "diaster" (by the way:in 20 yrs. they'll be saying we have "10 years left") If they were not lying they would be THE BIGGEST FANS OF NUCLEAR POWER IN THE WORLD b/c they'd realize 1.There's no chance of switching EVEN 30% OF THE US ECONOMY (which would do nothing if u could) to solar & etc.because Americans wont pay 3 times more for energy but they will switch to non poulluting nuclear power which is very cheap. So the alarmists if they belived their b.s. would comprmise to save the "earth".

Soledad O'Brien: The Diversity Triple Threat of Cable News
Since diversity is now legally mandated in every sector of America life and enforced via hefty discrimination and dispirate impact lawsuites from racial grievance rackets like the SPLC and/or the Justice Department (which have become indistuishable in the last year) every company, its plain to see, has their own token minority employees in legion. You'll notice how rare it is to see black criminals on crime sitcoms and films. For instance from Steve Sailer:
Blacks were 7 times more likely than whites to commit homicide in 2002.
One of my readers recently pointed out that with non-Hispanic whites accounting for only about ten percent of the violent crime in New York City, the three Law & Order television shows were likely to feature more fictional white New York murderers in 2005 than there will be actual white murderers in real life!
Another reader pointed out:
"In the first 24 episodes of Law & Order: Criminal Intent there's only one black murderer, and she is a corrupt police officer. Make of that what you will…"
You'll notice how disportionatly blacks are anchormen and salesmen in the Obama era aswell. The reason that Chase bank and Chilli's all want a black guy selling their product in ad's is to quell potential Jack Jackson's from exhorting them for not having "enough" black employees. When the head of Google recently testified infront of the Senate, Sheila Jackson, the embarssingly ghetto black and proud senator from California used her time to reprsent her constiuents by asking,
"How many black employees does Google have?"
Well, CNN, FOX, MSNBC are all under the same threat of exhortation and to varying degrees work to avoid the R word by clearly having on regular black guests and, in the liberal cable news channels case more ofcourse, having a huge amount of black and hispanic and non-white, non-male anchors and reports. I can only recall 1 or 2 white male anchors at CNN. But more importantly take two constant commentators on FOX and MSNBC: Washington Post black colmunist Eugene Robinson on MSNBC and NPR's Juan Williams on FOX. Both Williams and Robinson hardly have never uttered anything orginal or intresting and are clearly products of affirmtive action for to go by merit cable news on the left and right would be all-white as far as commentators are concerned.
Among the most obvious affirmtive action babys as anchors and reporters are Gwen Iffel and Soledad O'Brien. Soladad is the queen of diversity in media bullshit affirmtive action or should I say diva? She is really hot, and not very bright thats not unique among cable news anchor women but what makes this airhead special is her de facto current position at CNN. Basically, CNN decided that rather than hire 1 black male affirmtive action reporter hire, 1 black female affirmtive action hire, 1 latino male hire, 1 latino female hire they would get multi-racial Soledad to play black and latino at once and make terrible PC documentrarys for CNN called "Black in America" and "Latino in America" (the latter of which didn't even try to hide its pro-amnesty agenda) both which no one in America including blacks and latinos wanted to watch. Soladad apparently had her own show once on CNN but it did so bad they had to delegate her to "making" 2 documentarys a year. Vdare.com's Joe Guzzardi writes brillantly about Soledad below:
O’Brien, who is half Cuban black, half Australian Irish, has gathered many boring conventional awards, including one named after herself: the “Soledad O'Brien Freedom's Voice Award” from the Morehouse School of Medicine for being a “catalyst for social change”.
But, because the competition is stiffer, ours is harder to win—and therefore more prestigious.
I note that the “O’Brien Award” given to O’Brien is significant because, as you will soon learn, she’s in love with herself.
O’Brien has also been included twice in Irish America Magazine’s list of top 100 Irish Americans—as well as on Black Enterprise’s hottest list!
Newsweek featured O’Brien on a cover story and named her as one of the “15 People Who Make America Great”.
Therein lies the secret of O’Brien’s success. No matter what the assignment O’Brien, ethnically speaking, is the right reporter for the job.
When CNN wants a black to interview Michelle Obama, the Hurricane Katrina displaced, or Haiti’s victims, there’s O’Brien posing as a black. (See O’Brien with Obama, her “passion for justice” for New Orleans’ residents displaced by Katrina and the Haitian orphan victims here, here and here. More evidence: in this interview discussing another of her documentaries, “Black in America”, O’Brien identifies herself as black.)
However, if CNN decides that it would be a good idea to run a documentary about being “Latino in America”, they can call on O’Brien, a self described Latina. (Here, among a Hispanic audience, O’Brien reconfirms that description.)
When a highfalutin’ organization needs an ethnically all-purpose speaker, O’Brien is their girl. Her appointment calendar is booked solid because she’s everything all rolled up into one: female, African-American, Hispanic and Irish.
For example, last year on November 10th O’ Brien travelled to Yale University as the guest of the Poynter Fellowship in Journalism to present her speech agonizingly titled “Diversity in the Media: Behind the Scenes & in Our Lives”.
Chances are good that O’Brien used the same notes from her October 28th speech at St. Joseph’s University: “Diversity on TV, Behind the Scenes and in our Lives”.
Or perhaps O’Brien rehashed her January speech given at Duke University, “Black in America: African Americans in the Last Forty Years”. (Watch here.)
Before I launch into why O’Brien won this year, a little biographical information will help you understand why my choice is an easy one.
O’Brien never misses a chance to literally cash in by referring to herself by her complete name, MarÃa de la Soledad Teresa O'Brien.
Although she doesn’t speak Spanish, this gives O’Brien an excellent opportunity to define herself as a multicultural maven who’s perfect for CNN or any other mainstream media outlet. Maybe if she looks back far enough in her genealogical tree, she’ll find Asian ancestors!
Against all evidence, O’Brien stretches to make a point of her black/Latina roots. In an interview for her official CNN biography, O’Brien states that she has: “a mass of kinky hair, light brown skin and lots of freckles”.
Photographs of O’Brien do not support her claim. In this ethnically ambiguous photo I see a traditional hairstyle, no freckles and either light brown skin or too much make up.
Now to my topic: During her seven year CNN career and before that at NBC, O’Brien has been consistently terrible on immigration and race.
What iced our award for O’Brien is her two-part documentary, “Latino in America”, which bombed in the ratings and had the curious effect of angering everyone including some Latinos. Her 2007 documentary, “Black in America”, also raised the ire of many blacks.
Defending “Latino in America”, O’Brien tries to make the case that she represents a “voice for the voiceless”.
This position is patently absurd. Anyone who follows immigration knows that immigration reform patriots are the voiceless ones, to the point that the media regularly censors us.
The immigrant story is told repeatedly in the most sympathetic terms on CNN or in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post and other major dailies.
What the CNN documentary does, apparently without O’Brien catching the irony, is emphasize why illegal immigration does not—as she would have you believe—make the case for diversity but instead exacerbates the problems of multiculturalism.
One of O’Brien’s subjects is Francisca Abreau, a Dominican high school student apparently in the U.S. illegally, who when pregnant at 14, contemplated suicide. Then, after Abreau gave birth to her anchor baby daughter Destiny (!!!), she received therapy for her continued identity struggles.
Here’s what I take from Abreau’s story: at taxpayer’s expense she took up a seat in a New York classroom, delivered a baby and underwent costly psychological treatments. In the light of my twenty-five years in the California public school system, I would place Francisca’s odds for success as an adult at near zero.
In another segment, O’Brien featured Tucson illegal alien activist Isabel Garcia, who during an open borders rally beheaded a pinata that resembled Sheriff Joe Arpaio. (See it here.) Garcia (email her) defended it as free speech.
One of the interesting things about O’Brien is that for as much time as she spends defining herself as black or Latino, she never refers to herself as American—even though she is American-born, raised in Long Island in comfortable, middle class surroundings.
When O’Brien discussed the conceptual evolution of Latino in America, she said that she was approached by many ethnic groups urging a special on Asian in America, Gay in America, and Muslim in America. But O’Brien never mentioned what would be the most interesting of all: White in America. At least one black viewer agrees.
O’Brien is sharp enough to realize that the multicultural angle works for her. She’s parlayed it into a fat salary and inflated speaking fees. Moreover, she’s married to an investment banker and lives the high life in Manhattan.
Her ethnic roots, whatever they may be, have paid O’Brien rich rewards.
Along with her five siblings, O’Brien is a Harvard graduate. However, she didn’t learn much.
During her recent appearance on Celebrity Jeopardy, she came in last and finished behind basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (UCLA).
The final jeopardy question that O’Brien couldn’t answer: “Trees with biblical names include the Joshua tree and the world’s oldest tree, a 4,700-year old pine named for him. What is it?” O’Brien’s reply: “Who is Moses?” (Correct answer: “Who was Methuselah?”)
O’Brien’s excuse: the buzzer is hard to operate.
Along with her complete failure to report honestly about immigration, I deducted points for O’Brien’s smug attitude and grating voice, a big minus for a television anchor. (Watch her talk about Spike Lee here.)
Finally, O’Brien is not only a phony but flat out just not a nice person!
In a non-journalism related incident, last year O’Brien signed an eviction notice for her co-op neighbor because she did not like his dog!
According to O’Brien, a Neapolitan Mastiff in her building offended her because of its "size, slobbering, shedding, drooling, gassiness and odors".
Luckily for Ugo and his owners, the judge threw O’Brien’s case out.
