Real Atmosphere Of Fear

Dan Rather recently gave a speech to broadcasters wherein he described a ”climate of fear” in newsrooms across the country. The Blathering Boob said reporters are being pressured by politicians and the news is suffering ....

Dan Rather Complains of ‘Climate of Fear’
(NEWSMAX)

Former CBS anchor Dan Rather said there is a “climate of fear” in newsrooms that is worse than he’s ever seen in his four-decade career. Rather declared that in the years since the then-White House correspondent tangled with President Nixon during the Watergate affair, politicians “of every persuasion” have gotten better at applying pressure on the corporations that own the broadcast networks.

Addressing the Fordham University School of Law on Monday, he called the current atmosphere a “new journalism order.” He said this pressure – along with “dumbed-down, tarted-up” news coverage, 24-hour cable news competition and the chase for ratings – “creates a bigger atmosphere of fear in newsrooms.”

Actor (and global political expert) Tim Robbins also says there is a climate of fear in the media and a ”chill wind is blowing” from the White House to suppress dissent. With his boundless political wisdom, Robbins explains that the US is becoming a fascist state ....

‘A Chill Wind is Blowing in This Nation...’
(COMMON DREAMS)

In the 19 months since 9-11, we have seen our democracy compromised by fear and hatred. Basic inalienable rights, due process, the sanctity of the home have been quickly compromised in a climate of fear. A unified American public has grown bitterly divided, and a world population that had profound sympathy and support for us has grown contemptuous and distrustful, viewing us as we once viewed the Soviet Union, as a rogue state.

This past weekend, Susan and I and the three kids went to Florida for a family reunion of sorts. Amidst the alcohol and the dancing, sugar-rushing children, there was, of course, talk of the war. And the most frightening thing about the weekend was the amount of times we were thanked for speaking out against the war because that individual speaking thought it unsafe to do so in their own community, in their own life. Keep talking, they said; I haven’t been able to open my mouth.

A relative tells me that a history teacher tells his 11-year-old son, my nephew, that Susan Sarandon is endangering the troops by her opposition to the war. Another teacher in a different school asks our niece if we are coming to the school play. They’re not welcome here, said the molder of young minds.

For the record, I want to make it clear to these two brain-damaged specimens what a fascist, government-controlled “climate of fear” really is. It is the majority of the Muslim nations in the Middle East where disagreeing with the powers that be will get you instantly killed. It is North Korea where disagreement with “Dear Leader” will get you years in a miserable concentration camp, worked to death and left to starve. It is Communist China where the government would never allow Blathering Dan even a second in their broadcast booths nor would Professor Robbins be allowed to dissent in the tone he takes above. Both would be summarily shot. That is a real “climate of fear” ....

China Sets New Rules On Internet News
BEIJING (Reuters)

China set new regulations on Internet news content on Sunday, widening a campaign of controls it has imposed on other Web sites, such as discussion groups. “The state bans the spreading of any news with content that is against national security and public interest,” the official Xinhua news agency said in announcing the new rules, which took effect immediately.

The news agency did not detail the rules, but said Internet news sites must “be directed toward serving the people and socialism and insist on correct guidance of public opinion for maintaining national and public interests.” Established news media needed permission to run a news Web site, it said. New operators had to register themselves with government information offices.

China has a dedicated band of cyber police who patrol the Internet with the aim of regulating content. Postings that criticize the government or address sensitive topics are quickly removed. Registration was a feature of rules imposed earlier this year aimed at not-for-profit Internet activities, such as personal Web sites and blogs.

Since March, university on-line discussion groups have been restricted to students, removing a once popular outlet for Chinese keen to publicize their views on sensitive issues. Student users and site managers must register using their real names. The biggest Chinese Web portals include those operated by Sina Corp. (http://www.sina.com.cn) and Sohu.com Inc. (sohu.com). Both carry news. Access to many foreign news Web sites is routinely blocked.

Now that is a “chill wind” and a “climate of fear”. What we have in the United States is an open society that allows any ignorant pissant to babble his/her head off anytime, anywhere. Like Blather and Robbins are doing. It’s too bad we don’t have a STFU Amendment in the Constitution to protect us from these idiots.

For Real?

imageimageTyra Banks Proves Breasts Are Real on TV
Talk about keeping it real: Tyra Banks underwent a televised sonogram on her new talk show to prove that her breasts aren’t fake.

“I’m tired of this rumor. It’s something that’s followed me forever,” the supermodel said Tuesday on “The Tyra Banks Show.”

After Banks asked the men in the audience to leave, Dr. Garth Fisher from ABC’s “Extreme Makeover” performed a touch test and then the sonogram. He concluded: “Tyra Banks has natural breasts; there are no implants.”

“By no means am I saying a breast implant is a bad thing, but it’s not a choice that I made,” the 31-year-old model said. “But it’s something that a lot of the public ... think that I have, and that’s so frustrating for me.”

Banks, who models for Victoria’s Secret, also displayed how her push- up bra exaggerated her body. However, Banks said she’s not totally real.

“I got fake hair, y’all. I got fake eyelashes.”

The hour-long show was, as Banks declared, “all about breasts!” It also featured lessons on proper fitting and an appearance from a slimmed-down Anna Nicole Smith.

Well, that’s something, I guess smirk

The Greatest Movie Line Ever!

And that’s no joke. It came from an old Bob Hope movie (back when Hollywood actors still had functioning brains). This film clip is absolutely precious and needs to be stored in your archive of film clips. It’s a QuickTime MOV file (so all you Mac users can view it as well as Windows users) and it’s only 1.4 MB so even at dial-up speeds it shouldn’t take long to grab. Right-click on the picture below and select “Save Target As” if you’re using Internet Exploder or right-click and select “Save Link As” if you’re using FireFox. Trust me! You won’t regret it! Pass it around to all your friends. And let’s all give a big BMEWS thank you to TJ for sending this to me.

The Setup: The gentlemen on the right is a scientist and he is describing ”zombies” and how they act. When he finishes his description, Bob makes the inevitable comparison ....

FYI: This clip was sent to me in Windows Media format (WMV) but since we have such a diverse audience here I ran it through a digital media tool I use called Cleaner XL to convert it to a more common format. This software allows me to convert video between Windows Media, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Quicktime, RealPlayer formats and even creates streaming media formats for web presentation. It’s expensive but if you’re doing any work with digital video, especially for the web, I highly recommend it.

Pirates In My Neighborhood?

DANG! I got a real live movie pirate right here in my neighborhood - at least he’s a few miles north of me .... and I didn’t even know it. The pirate in question, is a 19-year-old teenager who has been making “cam-jobs” of first run movies. These “cammers”, as they are called, secretly film movies with hidden cameras and upload them to the internet “warez” groups. This kid, however, is probably going to jail .... for filming (at least what I heard) are two really lousy movies ....

(AP) --A Missouri teenager is the latest to be indicted by a San Jose federal grand jury in a string of prosecutions involving members of a secretive computer-piracy group. Curtis Salisbury, 19, of St. Charles, Mo., was charged Wednesday with using a video recorder to make copies of newly released movies and uploading them to a computer network for distribution. He is the first person to be prosecuted under the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act, which was signed by President Bush in April.

Salisbury is charged with conspiracy and copyright infringement for copying two movies, ``The Perfect Man’’ and ``Bewitched.’’ The films were then distributed through ``warez’’ sites on the Internet—secretive, member-only sites where illegal copies of software and pirated entertainment are available for download. He is also accused of downloading ``Madagascar’’ and computer programs sold by Sony and Adobe Systems. He is scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Patricia V. Trumbull in San Jose Aug. 19 at 1:30 p.m.

The maximum penalty faced by Salisbury if convicted is five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for counts of conspiracy and violating the copyright act, and three years and $250,000 for a count of unauthorized recording of movies. Warez is a source of illegally copied computer programs and, more recently, first-run movies and DVDs. It was targeted by the FBI in a two-year undercover Operation Copycat investigation and a larger investigation called Operation Site Down.

In the argot of warez members—pronounced ``wares’’ and derived from the word software—Salisbury is accused of being a ``cammer.’’ Cammers are specialized warez members who record first-run movies with concealed camcorders and then place them on Internet servers after removing data that could be traced. Cammers are entitled to three movie downloads from the illegal sites for every uploaded movie. The indictment states that Salisbury also discussed payment with an unnamed individual.

Actually, Hollywood probably loses a few million each year, at most, from lost ticket sales caused by these kids, if even that much. The real problem is foreigners who rip DVD’s and sell them at discount prices in Singapore, Hong Kong and other foreign cities and cost Hollywood several billions of dollars each year. Hollywood pressured the Bush Administration to go after these kids because they’re too damned lazy to go after the real criminals overseas. I say “real criminals”, but the real crooks in this scenario are the Hollywood producers who keep putting out worse and worse crap every year and then giving themselves awards for doing so .... and they wonder why people aren’t going to the movies?

Mad As Hell

This is it! I’ve had it with this beeyatch. Once was enough but not again. NO, DAMMIT! I mean it! Jane Fonda is starting a cross-country tour on a frikkin’ bus that runs on vegetable oil to protest the Iraq war. NO! DAMMIT! Please, Dear God! Stop this madwoman!

imageimage(MYWAY NEWS)—SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Actress and activist Jane Fonda says she intends to take a cross-country bus tour to call for an end to U.S. military operations in Iraq.

“I can’t go into any detail except to say that it’s going to be pretty exciting,” she said. Fonda said her anti-war tour in March will use a bus that runs on “vegetable oil.” She will be joined by families of Iraq war veterans and her daughter.

They plan to return to the Santa Fe area, where she was promoting her book, “My Life So Far” on Saturday. Prompted by a question from the audience, Fonda said war veterans that she has met on a nationwide book tour have encouraged her to break her silence on the Iraq war.

“I’ve decided I’m coming out,” she said. Hundreds of people in the audience cheered loudly when Fonda announced her intentions to join the anti-Iraq war movement. “I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam,” she said. “I carry a lot of baggage from that.”

Fonda incited controversy in July 1972 when she was photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun while on a tour of the country to drum up support to end the war.

NEXT THING YOU KNOW THIS BEEYATCH WILL BE IN AFGHANISTAN TRAINING WITH AL-QAEDA! NO! NO! NO!

SCOTUS KILLS GROKSTER

The Supremes rounded out their day of infamy with a final ruling, saying that internet file-sharing services can be held responsible for what their users do. MGM, which brought the case is now dancing with glee and already sending the lawyers after Grokster. Look for other big Hollywood studios to pile on ....

WASHINGTON - Internet file-sharing services will be held responsible if they intend for their customers to use software primarily to swap songs and movies illegally, the Supreme Court ruled Monday, rejecting warnings that the lawsuits will stunt growth of cool tech gadgets such as the next iPod.

The unanimous decision sends the case back to lower court, which had ruled in favor of file-sharing services
Grokster Ltd. and StreamCast Networks Inc. on the grounds that the companies couldn’t be sued. The justices said there was enough evidence of unlawful intent for the case to go to trial.

File-sharing services shouldn’t get a free pass on bad behavior, justices said.

“We hold that one who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright, as shown by the clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to foster infringement, is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties,” Justice David H. Souter wrote for the court.

By the way, this decision was unanimous, 9-0. Hollywood rejoices. Internet file-share networks fall back on ‘Plan B’, which cannot be disclosed at the moment. However, my sources tell me that the networks like Grokster will simply move offshore or out of the country. Developing ....

It’s All About The Money, Part II

Well, hell! I want my cut, dangit! Joining the “Runaway Bride” in the “book/movie deal club” is Deep Throat and his family ....

Deep Throat Family Cuts Publishing, Film Pacts
Tom Hanks to Develop Movie About Secret Watergate Source
By Bob Thompson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, June 16, 2005

Deep Throat has a book deal and a movie deal, and he could end up being played by Tom Hanks.

The family of 91-year-old W. Mark Felt, who revealed his role as The Washington Post’s key Watergate source two weeks ago, has chosen PublicAffairs Books to publish a combination of autobiography and biography, publisher and CEO Peter Osnos said last night. Osnos said that Universal Pictures has optioned Felt’s life story and the book for a movie to be developed by Hanks’s production company, Playtone.

He said the book will blend Felt’s own writing about his life, including his out-of-print 1979 memoir, “The FBI Pyramid: From the Inside,” and some unpublished material, with contributions from Felt’s family and from lawyer John D. O’Connor, who has been advising the Felts. O’Connor wrote the Vanity Fair article that named Felt as Deep Throat after the secret had been kept for 33 years.

The additional material from Felt, Osnos said, includes discussion of how he decided to provide guidance to Post reporter Bob Woodward, and why.

The book is to be published next spring. Its working title is “A G-Man’s Life: The FBI, Being ‘Deep Throat’ and the Struggle for Honor in Washington.”

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION .... CHA-CHING!

Al Franken-stein

It came alive at midnight, in the castle high on the hill at the edge of town. The mad scientist threw the switch marked “Air America” and slowly the figure under the sheet started to move, slowly at first. One arm moved out from under the sheet, grasped Igor and threw him against the wall. Igor cringed in fear as the mad doctor slowly but silently undid the restraints on the monster he had created. The hideous creature began to rise from the table and in the glare of lightning flashes the bolts on his neck flashed in the darkness and from this grotesque face the mouth suddenly opened and a gravelly, growling voice screamed loud enough to wake the dead many miles away the chilling mantra “BUSH LIED! BUSH LIED! BUSH LIED!” over and over again in chorus with the deep rumblings of thunder across the valley as the storm reached its peak ....

And in the village below the castle, the stalwart men in Ye Olde Conservative Inn put down their drinking cups, grabbed their pitchforks and flaming torches and with a steadfast resolve began marching up the road to confront the evil that was being brought down upon them once again. This time it must end, they thought .... this time it must end ....

Franken in Talkers Meltdown

Air America star Al Franken had a meltdown Friday night while accepting the Freedom of Speech Award at Talkers Magazine’s New Media Seminar, before being forced to leave the stage by the event’s sponsor.

The liberal yakker launched into a 20-minute tirade against his conservative colleagues, taking shots at Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and Bill Bennett, according to WWRL host Steve Malzberg, who witnessed the ugly outburst.

“It was the most bizarre thing I’ve seen in a long time,” Malzberg told NewsMax. “Franken was as obnoxious and arrogant as could be.”

After blasting the top talent in his industry, Franken took on the war in Iraq - dissecting a report on a visit to the troops by fellow talk host Rusty Humphries.

As the Air America host droned on, the audience grew restless, with some shouting for Franken to “hurry up.”

But according to the New York Post’s John Mainelli, Franken wouldn’t budge. “It’s freedom of speech ... I have about two pages left,” he shot back.

Finally, Talkers publisher Michael Harrison gave Franken the hook, beseeching the volatile host: “We honored you, now honor us. Don’t kill our party.”

Before he departed, however, Franken lept into his own peroration about visiting the troops - appearing to sob as he detailed their injuries.

Momma Don’t Take My Kodachrome Away

Sean Penn (America’s latest super-investigative-reporter) is in Iran covering the elections. Several female protesters made the Mad Mullahs nervous so they broke up the demonstration, pushed the press away while they “educated the women in proper Muslim subservience”. In the process poor little Sean’s camera was confiscated.

Why do they even bother with this election “farce”? The people of Iran have absolutely NO First Amendment rights: (1) they must worship the state religion, (2) they cannot gather and protest, and (3) the press is muzzled. Of course, no one in his/her right mind would ever confuse Sean Penn with a reporter.

Of course, if the people of Iran had Second Amendment rights, the Mad Mullahs would have been history a long time ago. An armed populace = honest government. Period.

Mental Illness

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
-- Albert Einstein

Thank you, Uncle Al. Now we understand.

In a related news story, Senator Jim Jeffords (I-VT) will soon be replaced by a card-carrying, self-avowed Socialist - who has already been endorsed by DNC Chairman Howard Dean. Some people never learn and some political partys just can’t seem to understand why shooting themselves in the foot keeps hurting.

Star Wars: Revenge Of The Hackers

You just knew this was coming, didn’t you? The new Star Wars movie opened yesterday in theatres and it has already been posted on the file-sharing networks. Hackers claim this is revenge for having Jar-Jar-Binks foisted off on them in recent episodes. Darth Lucas will not be amused at this. Feel the Force ....

LONDON, England (Reuters)—The final chapter of the Star Wars saga has gone over to the Internet’s dark side.

“Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith” has been leaked onto a major file-sharing network just hours after opening in theaters, at a time when Hollywood is increasingly concerned about online piracy.

At least two copies of the film, which was first shown in theaters in the early hours of Thursday, have been posted to the BitTorrent file-sharing network—a new and increasingly popular technology that allows users to download large video files much more quickly than in the past.

Howling Huffington Update

As noted on this blog a few weeks ago, Arianna Huffington, the screech-owl of Kalifornia has got herself a blog now. The Huffington Post made its debut yesterday in a lackluster style. The liberal looney lady invited all of her Hollyweird friends but no one showed up. In fact, no one else showed up either, according to reports from several site monitoring services. I guess Arianna will just have to sit there and mentally masturbate each day. To make matters worse, Nikki Finke of the LA Weekly ripped her a new one in her review of the new blog site. Here is just a small taste ....

Judging from today’s horrific debut of the humongously pre-hyped celebrity blog the Huffington Post, the Madonna of the mediapolitic world has gone one reinvention too many. She has now made an online ass of herself. What Arianna Huffington’s bizarre guru-cult association, 180-degree conservative-to-liberal conversion, and failed run in the California gubernatorial-recall race couldn’t accomplish, her blog has now done: She is finally played out publicly. This Web-site venture is the sort of failure that is simply unsurvivable, because of all the advance publicity touting its success as inevitable. Her blog is such a bomb that it’s the box-office equivalent of Gigli, Ishtar and Heaven’s Gate rolled into one. In magazine terms, it’s the disastrous clone of Tina Brown’s Talk, JFK Jr.’s George or Maer Roshan’s Radar. No matter what happens to Huffington, it’s clear Hollywood will suffer the consequences.

It almost seems like some sick hoax. Perhaps Huffington is no longer a card-carrying progressive but now a conservative mole. Because she served up liberal celebs like red meat on a silver platter for the salivating and Hollywood-hating right wing to chew up and spit out.

“Huff The Magic Dragon” apparently pissed off everyone in Kalifornia to have them turn on her like this. This bears watching. After all, the best entertainment is Hollywood infighting ....
