Glenn Beck’s last show airs tonight on Fox News. A new mashup reminds us why this is a sad, sad moment for comedy. Everyone’s favorite (self-described) rodeo clown Glenn Beck will depart Fox News today, after two-and-a-half years. To honor Beck’s work, lefty outfit Media Matters has compiled a mashup of his most outré moments,

Click here to view this media The idea of Fox News getting high and mighty about Media Matters’ DropFox campaign is, well…laughable. However, what might be even more laughable is the idea that they can start a campaign to strip Media Matters of their tax-exempt status. They should be careful what they wish for. In this clip, viewer Dana Martin from New Orleans tells Fox and Friends why she is so convinced that Media Matters tax-exempt status must be revoked. So convinced, in fact, that she filled in a web form to send a complaint to the IRS about their tax exempt status. And guess where that web form is? On the Fox Nation web page, of course, where else? But as I said, they should be careful what they wish for. Let’s look at some other tax-exempt organizations who also undertake “campaigns” with taxpayer subsidies. There’s the Media Research Center , headed by Brent Bozell, who routinely appears on Fox News as a commentator. One look at their website shows that they have some ‘projects’ of their own which are clearly not educational at all, but purely political. And of course, there’s the US Chamber of Commerce, also fully subsidized by taxpayers just like the Citizens United Foundation, the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute. Continuing on, we can also include the Catholic, Mormon, Presbyterian and Baptist churches as tax-exempt organizations which should be carefully scrutinized as to the legitimacy of their tax exemption. And those are just ones that come to mind quickly. This is Media Matters’ mission statement: Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media. Seems to me they’re being perfectly consistent in their purpose, but this campaign put on by Fox shows just how effective they’ve been in actually accomplishing it. If I take a deep breath, I’m sure I can smell Roger Ailes’ aggravation from here. Or stench. Or something. Update: Here are two clips from this morning, too. It’s a series! And it’s all George Soros’ fault! And only charities we like should be tax-exempt!

Williams dons his intellectual dishonesty hat to be outraged — outraged, I tell you — at the nerve of that David Brock to actually go after lies and expose them. It also makes me laugh to see them publicizing the DropFox campaign so freely. Click here to view this media

Click here to view this media Just one day after Senator Brown (R-Mass) had announced a baseball collectible card for his own fundraising it was pulled, presumably after Major League Baseball got wind of the idea. What is it with Republicans and their inability to respect copyright laws? (Ed. See also Michele Bachmann v. Tom Petty and countless other examples.) From Fox25 : “Forget about Youk and Big Papi, Scott Brown is the latest craze in baseball cards. The Brown campaign is finding new ways to raise money for the junior senator’s re-election effort. The cards, which are going for ten dollars on Brown’s campaign website, feature the Republican holding a bat, wearing a Red Sox hat and are described as ‘a unique collectable for your home or office.’ Brown already has more than eight million dollars in his campaign war chest.” The link at Brown’s site is still up and so is the solicitation for cash, but the picture of the baseball card is gone.

June 30, 2011 No Comment
Do as I suggest, not as I claim to eschew. Those wascally Wepublicans and their corporate-financed efforts to compel voter turnout, Rachel Maddow complained on her MSNBC show Tuesday, before suggesting possible Chinese or Brazilian manipulation of American elections through legalized bribery to unpatriotic conservatives (video after page break) — MADDOW: That stuff, that organizational capacity, will now be handled through means that can be 100 percent corporate funded to an unlimited degree. If FreedomWorks is now going to be doing the get-out-the-vote efforts for Republican candidates, who are the donors to FreedomWorks? Really, who are their donors? You don't know, I don't know, they don't have to tell us. If China or Brazil decides that they like one of the Republican presidential contenders this year, and they would prefer that person to Barack Obama, what's to stop China or Brazil from giving a million bucks to FreedomWorks to go get out the vote, to go do organizational work for that candidate? What's to stop them from giving a $1 million donation? Or a $10 million donation? Or a $10 billion donation? Literally, what is to stop China from writing a $10 billion check to elect some favored Republican candidate in the next election, to elect some favored Republican candidate the next president of the United States? What's to stop that now? Later in the same show, however, Maddow appeared considerably less worried about the propriety of such practices when she said this to former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean — Do Democrats at this point see their challenge as finding their own billionaires who they like better? Or do Democrats have a qualitatively different challenge here? I mean, is there a way to compete with this other than fire with fire? “Their own billionaires” — provided they aren't from China or Brazil. (Not to worry, George Soros)

June 30, 2011 No Comment
As NewsBusters reported Thursday, MSNBC has put Mark Halperin on indefinite suspension for making an intemperate remark about President Obama on “Morning Joe.” Just a few hours later, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh told his audience the network's response would have been much different if Halperin had said this about George W. Bush when he was president (video follows with transcript and commentary): RUSH LIMBAUGH: Now, let me ask you a question: If Mark Halperin had said this about say George W. Bush, would they be falling all over themselves to apologize? Nope. He would be, my guess is, “New ground had been broken. Finally, finally,” they would say, “a reporter has had the courage and the guts to tell the nation just exactly the kind of President we have. A gutsy move. It might have been over the line. It might have been a little bit risky. And it might be something he would never do again, but by golly, by gosh, the courage.” That’s how they would play it had Mark Halperin said it about George W. Bush. Taking this a step further, since Halperin apparently believed what he said was going to be edited out – he specifically asked if MSNBC was on a seven second delay – it's quite likely the technician that failed to bleep his comment about Bush would have been the fall guy – assuming there was one at all. But because MSNBC is the leading television propaganda outlet for this White House and the Democrat Party, that certainly wouldn't be enough in this instance. Something else to consider is it's unlikely the minor vulgarity bothered the network. As Breitbart reported a few hours ago, MSNBC allowed an audible f-bomb on “The Last Word” during prime time Wednesday evening. Nobody involved in that show has been suspended including the host. As Limbaugh pointed out there likely wouldn't have been this response if Obama was Republican, one must conclude the network just didn't like such a thing being said about a president it so faithfully supports. No, MSNBC was making it quite clear that until Election Day has passed, MSNBC personalities and contributors better be very careful what they say about the current White House resident. To complete the training, the next MSNBCer to say something really offensive about a Republican presidential candidate should be given a well-publicized promotion with a raise and a bonus. Of course, with all the MSNBCers doing that, it might be difficult to discern who the next one is.
