Publishing Over At AngryJournalist.com

I haven’t sent anything in to angryjourno in a long time.

Perhaps because I haven’t been angry enough lately.

Here’s what I submitted. Maybe they’ll keep it, maybe they won’t. It cuts deeper than many of us want to feel really…

Why does CSJ (ChristopherColumbus School Of Journalism still carry the most power toward Pulitzers each year???

This is at least the third “new wave” of the “new journalism” not to mention that the Hunter S Thompsons and Ernest Hemingways of the world have come and gone.

And so should CSJ’s power have come and gone.

Nepotism and corruption should have no place in journalism; most notably when journalism’s main role since the 1500’s has been to out and illuminate that very greed and avarice.

Shame on the entire profession. Shame on each and every one of us for not spending enough of our every waking hours (and some of the sleeptime as well!) working on our own eternal vigilance.

CBS Failing At MindControlling Each Of Us.

Two important things we should never forget about Janet Jackson’s “accidental” wardrobe malfunction.

1) Justin Timberlake singing “I’ll have you naked by the end of this song”

2) Companion cable channel’s simulcast of a full contact bikini-clad touch football game where someone almost lost her bottom at the same exact time as Janet’s nipple slip.

We,

the viewers:

Are being played…

like a Wagner “Rienzi” at a WWII rally.

Walking Uptown With Your ****s Showing Not Advisable

So, I’m walking up the street drinking a bottle of  ****s.

In fact the very empty I’m showing you here is what I was carrying. I pass by several people who have done lots of crack in the very recent past and one woman stares quite demonstrably at my ****s.

“Excuse me?”

“Oh,” she says, sort of to me, and sort of to her other two friends, “That’s just my favorite vodka.”

“I’m sure it is,” I say about as noncommitally as I can as I walk by all three of them with just a bit of awkwardness. It was just then I realized I probably should not be walking by any squad cars without this particular smart drink. I’d be fine after all was said and done, but there would surely be some awkwardness there as well.

They do look a little bit like **** Vodkas don’t they?

[ED Note: I'm not big on censorship, as I'm sure you're aware, but currently it seems that two corporate names listed in here caused me to receive over a hundred comment spams per minute all morning just now. I've taken three different measures to slow this down, and as soon as it succeeds I'll change things back. Cheers, marco]

Fox Unethical Again Handling The Miley Cyrus Hack.

So, just when you think Fox sNooze has stooped to the lowest low they can go:

..they drop even deeper in it.

This time they’ve disrespected some hackerkids bigtime.

Follow this:

On July 12, 2008, a hacker known by the pseudonym TrainReq posted several racy photographs of Miley on the website Digital Gangster. TrainReq claimed he obtained the photos from Cyrus’ camera phone.[52] On July 14, 2008, FOX News aired the story, claiming that the photographs had been leaked by an “anonymous” source. [53] Soon after the story was aired, a discovery was made that FOX News had displayed images which had been clearly altered to remove the original watermarks left by TrainReq. [54]

[ref]=[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miley_Cyrus]

(No, I’m not going to post the pix in here. (With OR without watermarks!))

Tony Snow Was A Hatchet Man For Fox News’ Fascism

Tony Snow has died.

He deserves our respect and good vibes but NOT our pandering. His adult career was spent in abuse of journalism on behalf of fascism through violations of the First and Fourth Ammendments, and he was a lifelong apologist for wars and genocide.

If now is not the time to expose FOX “news” channel for what it is, when???

So The Other Day I Was A Turnstile Jumper

I jumped turnstiles the other day. First time since my teen years. It was 9july. My card expires the 10th. So it still should be good. Nope. Coded wrong or something. MBTA authorities just kept scanning me through but none of them were willing to fix my card for me. One of the times I was in quite a hurry. I stood there waiting while the MBTA authority tended to the needs of someone who couldn’t get her credit card to work. More and more I waited so I finally just gave up and turned around looked for the fastest walker and stood behind her. She swiped her card, and walked on through. I walked on through right behind her. No one seemed to care. Me either. I figured if they saw me on camera and tried to freak out, maybe then they’ll fix my card! So I was a turnstile jumper for a day and a half.

David Gray Doesn’t Want Military Using His Music For Torture

David Gray wants the US military to stop using of his music as torture in “War on Terror” prisons in Guantánamo, in Iraq, and in secret prisons run by the CIA.

He told BBC Radio 4’s The World Tonight, “What we’re talking about here is people in a darkened room, physically inhibited by handcuffs, bags over their heads and music blaring at them for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That is torture.”

Attack Of The Killer Jalapenos; Salsa ? ? ?

Wait, the Salmonella looks to be from fresh commercial jalapenos now, rather than tomatoes??? Start from SYSCO Foods!

Shut them down for 48 hours and investigate them back first and then forward. Repeat with each smaller company til you find it!

Now gimme Tommy Thompson’s old job at Health and Human Services. He’s incompetent.

attackofthekillertomatoes <—-MP3!
