Ahead even of a piece wondering whether the president had enough votes on Syria bombing!

    Not only is his marriage on the rocks; but he has been stopped for speeding twice now!

    See, the rat bastard did get away with murder!

    I, for one, am glad to see that the national news media is finally getting all the dirt on someone (even if they didn’t do a thorough dig into Obama’s past, or Benghazi, or Fast and Furious, or whatever)

    State-Run Media on Syria: “Move along…nothing to see here.”

    Yes, Charles, it does seem that the national news media are more interested in Mr. Zimmerman’s past/background/foibles than in Mr. Obama’s.

    And they do seem to dwell on all that information that puts the “white Hispanic” in a bad light.

    I don’t know the details, but if I were under the death threats and tension Zimmerman has walked into, I might tell my wife to flee while she still can.

    I think this is an algorithm. I remember reading about how AOL was hiring “journalists” who would write and feature stories that based on the results of their algorithm. Furthermore its probably pushed through your homepage based on your browsing history/location and complex mathematical inputs that well above my brain span.
    Here is some stories on it:

    I just went to AOL.com (for probably the first time in 5 years) and this is the story they pushed on me:

    You can’t fix stupid. Consider the source for the story.

    You know they’re just itching to somehow “prove” that the Syria gas attacks were a conspiracy between Zimmerman, Paula Deena and the jailed YouTube video who we know instigated the Benghazi horrors (well we know because Susan Rice and Hillary said so). But don’t worry. I’m sure Zimmerman will get a break from the media just as soon as Miley, Lindsay Lohan, or Amanda Bynes does something shocking… like tweet something.

    Well it has been such a slow news week. Nothing of importance going and they have to fill the pages I guess.

    My question is: why is anyone surprised or not or (fill in the blank).

    It’s been fun trolling the Huff Po’s facebook pages pointing out the only racist comments were Martin’s.

  11. Peter Hughes says

    HuffPo is already having the vapors because Rush Limbaugh wrote a children’s book, and they can’t understand why it is #1 on Amazon before it has even been released yet.

    That, and because they aren’t intelligent enough to read it.

    Yes, I went there. Deal with it.

    Note how the story about the two (black) kids and their buddy who killed the Australian student “…because they were bored” has been excised from the volk-Geist? ”

    Move along, move along, …nothing to see here. Move along…”

    If it’s celebrity driven, shallow, or about people the libs don’t like, it qualifies for news. The stock market, war resolution, jobs, taxes, who cares when we can talk about Miley Cyrus.

    Note how the story about the two (black) kids and their buddy who killed the Australian student “…because they were bored” has been excised from the volk-Geist? ”

    That’s because it didn’t fit the State-Run Media’s template, Ted. Who wants to hear about how black thugs killed a white man?

    Now, if it had been two white kids killing a black man, well, THAT’S A HATE CRIME! (/sarc)

    Hypocrisy, thy name is liberalism.

    Zimmerman is easier to cover and keeps the liberals distracted from the real news with bright shiny things.
