Dark Moments of Private Release sounds like a fetish porn.

As for objectivity, you mean like Fox News objectivity?

I don't watch Fox news.

I do read MSNBC.com.

Really, Ryan? Really?

I guess the thing I'll never get is why you only write about it when you see it as a liberal bias. I mean, seriously -- "the media" includes everyone except FOX News? When FOX News writes partisan crap, that's just FOX. But when MSNBC does it, that's "the media."

Except, of course, that FOX News's partisan crap was about weapons of mass destruction and torture, and it helped the Republicans lead us into two wars. You had fuck all to say about that. Nadda. But you find "Mr. Cool" provocative enough to write a little blog post about it.

Blah blah blah, etc etc.

Yes, I do find the "Mr. Cool" thing provocative to write about. . . because, and this is important. . . IT'S MY BLOG.

And, again, I DON'T WATCH OR READ FOX NEWS. In my entire existence, I've ingested maybe five total minutes of anything Fox News-related. While, on the other hand, I've had MSNBC.com as my home page since 1999, and I've witnessed something of a 180 degree shift in its reporting/biases over the years, culminating in this jizz-fest of "Mr Cool."

So, in summary, go eat a cock. :-)

So when Dan Rather ran with the forged meos you and your lefty counterparts were all over that, right? Because y'all are fair-minded and objective, right?

Oh.

LearnedFoot: First of all, the Red Pages wasn't my main blog during the Rathergate thing. I used to run Strip Mining for Whimsy, which is where most of my content appeared. You can't google it because I've since yanked it from the web and expunged the google cache.

Second of all, I didn't say much about Rathergate -- I mentioned it, but didn't get into it -- because I hadn't talked about the memo when it first appeared, before it was discredited, so I didn't feel the need to talk about it because I hadn't made any claims based on it.

Third of all, my "lefty counterparts"? Really?

Fourth of all, Dan Rather is a private citizen working for a corporation. The president of the United States is the highest elected official in the country. Those two positions have different ethical standards. Part of the reason they have different ethical standards is that the outcomes of moral wrongdoing are different -- Rather runs with forged memos, it's an electoral smear that can be debunked by bloggers. Bush lies about yellow cake uranium, he can hide the evidence behind national security, and we're in two wars. Or, to put it another way, people have the luxury of ignoring Dan Rather. But my tax dollars pay for Bush's wars and my countrymen die in them, regardless of what I thought of his yellow cake claims when he made them. I won't go any further with this because, obviously, if you're still drawing parallels between these things, nothing I say is going to change your opinion. But, for the record, no.

Fifth of all, you should maybe eat shit and die.

Ryan:

No no, you go eat a cock, buddy. You.
