Jon Stewart Selma: CNN drones it and Fox News plays the White Victim

OMG, where are the Bushes?! Oh there they are. But where’s Waldo?

Cnn Drones in SelmaYou know, depending on the region one is from things can be seen quite differently. Case in point. Being from Texas I have little fear of drones outside my window. For I know they will never make this far through the gunfire. There will be a bounty on them I am sure, like with wolves, Indians and Mexicans. Though we are out of wolves and almost out of Indians.

As to playing the white victims of the Selma march over the weekend reported by Fox News? Come on, that is what they do, give them a break.

The break no one should ever give Republicans ib allowing them to play the WAY BACK MACHINE tooting their horn for Republicans fighting slavery and Jim Crow. Well until THE DAY the Voting Rights Act was signed and the roles on race relations did a 180 turnaround and completed within five years. For as LBJ said the day he signed it, we Democrats have now lost the South.  Richard Nixon picked up on it, named it “The Southern Strategy” which got him elected in 1968 and which every Republican has played into since. It is one of those things that so many of us let slide because we think everyone knows it and understands it and there is no need to explain it.

WRONG. You have to remember that FOX NEWS viewers are the most ill informed not only because the nursing home won’t shut the damn thing off in the day room, but even if they could they would not watch anything else. It is why FOX NEWS claims to be Fair & Balanced, it may be an inside joke to those who work at FOX NEWS, but it is no joke to those who watch it.

In fact a recent Pew poll found that FOX NEWS is the most trusted news source in America! Out trusting not only cable news outlets, but NBC, ABC, CBS and PBS.  So please whenever you hear any politician use the term “intelligent American voter” stick you finger down your throat.
