New Media, Old Media, What Media?
Today Jon Stewart has forced more journalist types, to try and explain how it is, that Stewart “the clown,” is doing the job that they have refused to do.
A perfect example comes to us from the Huffington Post. Two journalists, one who understands that journalism has lost it’s way. The other? A clueless puppet, who is obviously part of the problem.
Our first journalist, Mike Hegedus is an insider and former correspondent on CNBC. Mike is exhibit A. He does not get it and probably never will. Read his take on the Stewart/Cramer interview right here. Be sure to read the comments on his post…Mike is having a bad Huffpost day.
Next up is Daniel Sinker. Daniel is a journalist who is well versed in new media. Professor Ari Goldman, would probably tell Daniel to fuck off. Proof that Daniel is doing something correct. Daniel’s take on the Stewart/Cramer interview can be found right here. Yes, he gets it.
Watch Jon Stewart do what old media has forgotten how to. He actually asks real questions and calls bullshit when needed. Clearly, we could use about 1500 Jon Stewart’s right about…now.

Some Crap Not Found in the PI
No...it's not
Ari Goldman, a professor employed by the over priced Journalism School at Columbia University, says fuck new media.
Ari is also one of the nations leading religion journalists and co-directs Columbia’s Religion-Journalism Dual M.A. program. Ari still says, fuck new media.
Ponder this over educated human and his penchant for religion and journalism. Consider the fine job journalists have done in recent times, exposing truthiness. Try to envision a time when journalists were as “revered” as they are now. Now dwell on the price of any degree from Columbia University.
Ah fuck, don’t listen to me. My Jr. High level edumicashion, wouldn’t know its subject verb agreement, from its coordinating/sub coordinating, conjuction filled ass. Or something.
Fortunately, Glenn Greenwald writes and comprehends this language thing, much better than I do. He has a few things to say about journalism and those who think that they are practicing it. Check it out, right here.
But otherwise, yes, fuck new media and the horse it road in on.

South Thurston County…Hotbed of Unfathomable Stuff
And you thought Evergreen College was the center of the evil doer universe. Not anymore!
According to Thurston County Deputy Kyle Kempke, that label now belongs to Rochester and Grand Mound. Evidently, they are full of dirt bag – meth swilling wife beaters. What doesn’t make any sense, is how Tenino failed to make his list. Have you been to Tenino Deputy Kempke?
Kempke and 19 other deputies may lose their jobs due to the dark times better known as…the Bush years. Kempke’s broad brush of white trash painting aside, there are solutions. The Olympic Peninsula is teeming with Border Patrol agents who are on the hunt for terrorists. Being that there are only liberals and about 26 Mexicans on the peninsula, they have nothing but time on their hands. Ask Agent Dyer.
Back to the solution…Olympia and Deputy Kempke’s patrol area are roughly 100 miles from “the border.” That means Thurston County can easily enlist the help of Homeland Security and their Operation Stonegarden. If lady Napolitano luck is on their side, Thurston County might also get to deploy 20 to 30 of the peninsula’s bored Border Patrol agents. I predict after a few weeks of citizen testing checkpoints…the Rochester and Grand Mound area wife beater/meth eater problems will be no more.
There you have it. A solution. South Thurston County will be safe from themselves and the Olympic Peninsula can get back to dealing with terrorists, via selling cheap touristy shit to them.
You’re welcome Thurston County!
Bienvenidos a Sequim!
and you thought the Wal-Mart was busy now…
Embrace the change Sequim. Besides, I promise you’ll love the carnecerias, panederias and flan!
Hasta que.
Infiltrating Chuck
Chuck Norris is begging to be infiltrated. The once semi-decent punching bag for Bruce Lee, is throwing around words and attempting to place them together to form sentences.
According to old man Chuck, Texas is ready to secede and Chuck himself, is more than ready to serve as el Presidente of Texas. Chuck goes even further to say things like “cell groups,” “solidarity,” and “enemy of the state.”
Chuck is going to throw a party at his ranch for himself, law enforcement and several slow…talking…mouth breathers. Why? Because they’re easily entertained and there will be free beer. I guess they will also be discussing their hatred for our country, Obama, people of color and how liberal thinking Americans, should be ground up and fed to Ted Nugent.
Color me…”surprised.”
A Vigilant Lens hint for you grandpa Norris. You have been infiltrated. Some of your best friends and drunk Texas Ranger buddies, are not who they say they are. In fact, I’m willing to bet you 22 Viagra pills, that some your most intimate moments, are being monitored by my friends on the “Right Coast.”
Sleep well pretend patriot.
